Emerson was laying his head on my stomach, Dom was cuddling a pillow beside me, and Alex was out of town for a few days. I couldn't sleep. I had to pee, and just wasn't tired. I hummed to myself and daydreamed, so I wouldn't wake Emerson up trying to stand up. Just after 11 pm, he rolled over, closer to Dom. I quietly stood up and opened the door. I practically ran down the hallway towards the bathroom. I peed quickly, and was about to head back into my room when I realized how hungry I was. I walked down towards the kitchen, and stared at the room. Alright, baby, what do you want. That's when it hit me. FRESH BAKED COOKIES!! As long as I was quiet, I'd be fine. All of the bedrooms were on the other side of the house, so nobody should hear me. I quickly and quietly went into my bedroom to grab my phone. It was pretty hot in the house, so I took off my sweat pants and shirt and put on just the shirt Dom had been wearing earlier that night. I headed back down into the kitchen, turned on some music, and gathered my ingredients.
I mixed the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and all the wet ones in a separate bowl. I danced around a bit, hand mixing the dough. I rolled the dough into separate little balls, and placed them on the baking sheet. I realized I forgot to preheat the oven, so I set it and danced around while I waited. Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around my torso. I tilted my head slightly and planted a kiss on Dom's cheek. He kissed mine and smiled slightly.
"Why in the world are you making cookies at midnight?" He let out a little laugh. I turned around and pulled him in for a hug.
"Because I couldn't sleep and was getting hungry. Plus, who doesn't love fresh baked chocolate chip cookies?" I squeezed him slightly and closed my eyes. Love Song started playing and he sang along softly in my ear, and spun us in small circles. The oven beeped, as to signal it was done preheating. I put the trays in, and sat on the counter, Dom in my arms. After 4 minutes, I switched the trays and set the timer again. Just before the timer went off, Remington sleepily walked into the kitchen.
"I smell cookies. Why am I being woken up at 1 am to the smell of cookies." He Sat on a stool.
"I couldn't sleep, and got hungry. Idk why he's up though." The timer went off and I pulled the cookies out, turning off the oven. I plated all of the cookies and grabbed the gallon of milk. I poured us each a glass, and we all sat down and ate. We chatted about life, and the baby, and things like that until we had devoured all of the cookies. We all laughed as a sleepy Emerson emerged from the stairs. He rubbed his eyes, and sat on the chair across from me.
"I woke up to an empty bed. It scared the shit out of me until I smelt the cookies." He threw a crumb at me.
"I have a human sitting on my bladder. I had to pee. Then I got hungry." I threw a chocolate chip at him. "I am still wide awake. Anyone wanna watch a movie with me?" I cleaned up the few dishes that covered the table. I sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Remington and Emerson went back up to bed, so it was just me and Dom. I turned on The Fault In Our Stars and laid my head on his chest. He rubbed circles in my hands, and ran one hand through my hair. About half way through the movie, I could barely keep my eyes open. I curled up closer to him, and closed my eyes.
"I love you, Dominic Richard Harrison." I whispered.
"I love you, Emma Kropp. I always have and always will." He whispered back. I smiled and fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
