"JUST- Please just go to sleep." Y/N whimpered as James, her son, refused to go to sleep. He had been fighting sleep for days, and so had Y/N. "I can't watch you no longer." She let out a shaky sigh. She was getting tired, weak and on the verge of becoming sick. She let her eyes rest as James laid out on her lap gurgling. Suddenly, the door opened and James began to cry. Bobby and Teddy, the couples cocker spaniel and Rottweiler howled and barked at the door, scratching at it as it opened. "Who is it?" Y/N called out.

Y/N heard a bunch of suitcases being put down, and Tom popped his head around the door into the living room and smiled. "Hello love." He said in a soft voice.
"I've never been so glad to have you home." Y/N's voice broke.
"Hey, hey what's the matter?" He asked and Y/N put James down on the couch before standing up and hugging Tom, breaking down. "What's happened?"
"He hasn't slept in days, I haven't and every time I get close to being asleep he starts crying. I feel like shit."

Tom kissed Y/N and then picked James up, who settled straight away in his arms. "He just wanted his dad. God knows how he would've been if you were away for more than a month." Y/N said and Tom looked at her and nodded.
"Well I'm home for a while now. Come sit next to me." Tom suggested and sat down with James in his arms, and Y/N sat cuddled into his side, as Tom had his arm around Y/N's shoulders and Bridgerton played on the tv quietly. As soon as they all settled down, James and Y/N soon fell into a deep sleep.

Y/N woke up and the tv had turned off automatically. As she moved, Tom woke up and smiled at her softly. "Are you okay?" He asked as he stroked Y/N's face and Y/N nodded with a tired smile.
"Do you want to bring him up to bed?"
"I'll stay down here with him you just go to bed and catch up on your sleep. I slept all the way home."
"Are you sure?" Y/N questioned and Tom nodded, looking down at James. "Thanks... I'll see you tomorrow my love." Y/N kissed Tom before walking upstairs and going to their room, falling back asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Around 3pm the next day, Y/N woke up and got a bath before drying her hair, getting changed and going downstairs. "Hey." She smiled and Tom turned to her, picking her up and kissing her passionately.
"Good afternoon my love." He moved some hair out of her face. "Are you feeling better? You look brighter."
"Yeah I just needed a good catch up on sleep."
"That's understandable. What do you want to eat?"
"Can we go out for food? To celebrate you getting back?"
"Yes, let me shower and get changed and we can go. It's good to be home. I love you and I love our beautiful son."
"I love you and James too, even though he stopped my sleep for a while."

"I'll be down in a bit..." Tom kissed Y/N's cheek and ran upstairs to get ready.

He was finally home.
