Chapter 341
Once the film had finished, Tre had carefully lifted Kaison up and carried him through to his big double bed, resting him right in the middle and pulling the cosy duvet over him while he continued to sleep soundly, his busy day out with his Godfather proving to have completely exhausted the little boy. Cheryl and Tre had then only stayed up for a little while longer themselves to watch an episode of ‘Homeland’ which they were both obsessed with, cuddling up on the sofa as they quietly chatted about their day, before making their way to bed as well, sleeping either side of Kaison who hadn’t stirred in the slightest, even when they’d both been giggling at each other after pulling funny faces over the little boys head, it being quite strange for them to be in the same bed and yet not snuggling up together; although Cheryl wasn’t complaining as she thought Kaison looked so adorable sound asleep in between them both, and she found Tre equally as cute as she watched him gently kiss Kai’s forehead and whisper goodnight to him before he went to sleep himself, completely melting Cheryl’s heart.
It had been a bit of a squeeze for them all even though Tre had a pretty big bed, but they’d all been so tired from their busy day, that the three of them slept soundly in their little dreamlands for pretty much the whole night, Tre having only woken up ever so briefly at one point when Cheryl pulled the quilt over to her side more so that Tre barely had any for himself, but it was so warm that he didn’t really mind and so drifted back off to sleep pretty much straight away. Cheryl finally began opening her eyes herself however early the next morning when she heard her name being softly whispered in a cute little American voice, and felt a gentle tapping on her arm. “Cheryl...Cheryl...” the little boy continued speaking softly, wanting her to wake up, and instantly began smiling at her when she groaned and turned her head on the pillow to face him, having been lying on her front all night.
“Mmm...you OK babe?” she asked groggily as the room was still in darkness, but she could still make out his eyes twinkling back at her and his cute, cheeky grin beaming away as he held her arm.
“I’m a bit thirsty and Uncle Tre won’t wake up” he replied, making her smile as she rolled onto her back and rubbed her eyes to wake up properly, loving how he had the same expression as her little nephew Jake had when he wasn’t sure whether he was going to get told off or not.
“Haha...yeah, nothing wakes your Uncle Tre up Kai, unless you pull his ears...haha...come on, I’ll get you a drink” she chuckled at him as she swung her legs out of the bed, making him giggle as he followed behind her out of the bedroom, closing the door behind them.
Cheryl had turned the lights on in the living area and the kitchen as she wandered sleepily across the apartment, before smiling happily as she felt Kaison take hold of her hand, making her look down to see the gorgeous little boy walking beside her rubbing his eye, with his curly brown hair sticking up in all different directions and his t-shirt all creased, looking so much like his dad it was crazy Cheryl thought. “Did you have a nice sleep?” she asked him as he grinned up at her and nodded his head. “Haha...I thought you must have done, you were snoring your head off!” she joked and gave him a wink, triggering Kai to sweetly cover his mouth as he began sniggering away at her, thinking she was being serious.
“Cheryl...you know when it’s thunder and lightning outside, like when there’s a big storm?!” he began speaking to her animatedly as he sat down on one of the chairs at the dining table while she switched the kettle on for herself after noticing it was 5.45am and they’d all be getting up soon anyway, before pouring Kaison a glass of orange juice.
“Yeah...I always get scared in big storms, do you not?” she bit her bottom lip as she turned around to pass him his drink, acting all afraid.
“You don’t need to be scared Cheryl, cos it’s just Uncle Tre’s Grandpa snoring up in heaven!...he told me yesterday! And then when it’s all sunny again after the storm, that’s when his Grandpa has woken up again to make everybody happy...so you can just think about that next time you hear the thunder, cos it’s just Tre’s Grandpa having a sleep...haha” he explained very sensibly, before chuckling softly and totally melting Cheryl’s heart at the fact this is what Tre must have told him when he was trying to make him feel better after getting upset, thinking he was so lovely and had obviously dealt with the situation very sensitively.
