Together till the end

Part 18

The small crip beside my side of the bed made me smile lightly as I lay Jake down in it pulling a warm blanking over him trying to stay as quiet as possible so I don't wake him up again after a long time trying to get him to sleep. 

I tip toe over to our dresser finding one of jug's old jumpers meanwhile trying to stay as quiet as possible with every movement I made. I heard all the light from downstairs get flicked off as jug told me he would and close up down there before going to bed as well. 

Today has been a nice relaxing day with just us at home. We're still getting use to the whole parent thing, and I honestly couldn't imagine doing it with anyone other than jug, he's simply just the best and I do my best to make sure he always knows exactly that how much he means to me, because truly, I wouldn't be who I am today without him, let alone a mother to our beautiful boy. 

I changed and slipped into bed quickly checking that Jake still was sound asleep. I plucked my phone in and replied to the few messages I'd got from Veronica. I placed my phone down truing on my side so I was facing the bedroom door and snuggled into the durvet as it was pulled up to my chin. I saw jug making his way upstairs and smiled softly at me, as he walked over to the dresser, pulling his clothes off and placing them on it. 

J-"you know, after all this time it's still creepy how you stare when I pull my clothes off." He spoke low, breaking the silence but still making sure not to wake Jake from his sleep. B-"my god, get over yourself. You know you're hot," I murmured as I watched him slip into bed as well facing my way. He pulled me closer with his hand on my back. J-"I do," he said and kissed my forehead. He moved his lips to my nose before they finally met my lips. 

J-"Get some sleep," he whispered after he stared at me for a hot minute. I snuggled my face into his neck but not before I quickly pecked his lips again. B-"I love you," J-"I love you too" he tightened his grip around me and took a deep tired breath.

A soft cry jolted me awake, my head quickly snapped over to look at Betty. B-"ssh, don't wake your dad, Jake" I heard Betty whisper. J-"Betty?" I spoke up as I sat up, her tired eyes met mine. B-"oh jug, sorry if we woke you," she spoke quietly, Betty looked back at Jake who was lashed to her breast. J-"No, it's okay. How long have you been awake?" I ask, and move closer to them.

 B-"Only a few minutes, he was getting fussy and hungry." I hummed in response, still groggy from the sleep I was in a minute ago. I looked down at Jake as he blinked slowly at me, I couldn't help but smile at him, before I took him from Betty as she finished feeding him. 

I laid down again but now with Jake to my bare chest. B-"mind making room for your wife." Betty looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and first then I realized I was all over Betty's side of the bed, leaving her no room besides for where she was sitting up at the headboard, feeding Jake only a few minutes ago. 

I smirked at her as I pulled her closer with my right hand instead of moving. She laid her head on the right side of my chest while Jake was on the other side. I kissed the top of her head, J-"what time is it even?" I asked when I realized I had no clue. B-"um-" she reached for her phone. B-"3 am," I groaned, J-"imma put him to bed in a minute, just wanna enjoy the quiet moment before he wakes us up crying again." I mumbled, closing my eyes for a brief minute after I watched Jake settle down. B-"hm okay," Betty mumbled, sinking further into me.

 After a few minutes of me trying to stay awake so I could put Jake to sleep in his crib I finally got up from our warm bed and laid him down carefully so he could stay in his -sleepy almost falling asleep - situation. I quickly found my way into our bed again, throwing my arms around Betty.

 J-"he better be asleep the next 4 hours or else imma die of tiredness" I murmur, B-"chill out mate, your the one there woke up and didn't go back to sleep. And I was the one feeding him." She said, J-"First of don't call me mate, second, who would have thought that having a child is the best way of seeing you half naked most of the day. I get to look at my best friends more often. 

B-"gross," she said as she smacked my chest with her hand I chuckled and kissed her head, my hand in her hair as she laid on my chest she had just smacked. J-" I know you can't stay away," I laughed. B-"shut up. Go to sleep," J-"yes ma'am," I could almost feel Betty roll her eyes at me, as I smiled to myself and whispered a quiet 'I love you' to Betty before drifting off to sleep within seconds.
