[Raleigh and Chuck's one year old son does not wear clothes. Not because they're Those Kind of Parents or that they haven't tried, and valiantly, but the kid clearly has a future in being a criminal because he can wriggle and unsnap and strip off anything if given enough time and space to do it.
Near the end of the day, Chuck stops trying to fix this problem, because it's bathtime and on any given day, he's spent upwards of ten, twelve hours in surgery and the only thing he wants to do is pass out. But he learned after the first half dozen times he did that and Raleigh got so mad she nearly grabbed the baby and left and they fought about it horribly and she works too, you know and she chooses to work actually, he makes more than enough to support all three of them and then some so maybe--
Chuck has learned to never suggest that Raleigh quit her job.
He's also learned how to bathe a baby which is more difficult than it looks. Babies splash. Babies cry. Babies can't be gassed and kept sedated until it's all over and he doesn't have to deal with the touchy feely stuff. Learning how to be a father has been a real trial in general and she wasn't wrong, initially, in thinking that he didn't want kids but here he is. He thinks it has to do with his own dad, and how he never wants his son to feel like he did as a kid and so he's going to be the best fucking dad ever.]
