6 am

(nat) I woke up to Avery already awake, without looking at her eyes I already knew she didn't sleep at all after that nightmare.

Nat: "good morning babe"

Avery: "morning"

Natasha sits up

Nat: "I'm going to go for a run, do you want to come?"

Avery shakes her head

Nat: "no sleep again after the nightmare"

Avery nods

(Natasha)It was barely Wednesday and Avery already had 3 nightmares that week meaning she was running on 4 hours of sleep throughout the days. 

Nat: "try to get some sleep while I'm gone okay"

Avery nods and Natasha kisses her. Natasha changed and headed out for a run. 

It is now 7 am and Natasha got back from her run. She took a quick shower and when she got out she saw Avery starring at the wall

Nat: "Avery are you okay?"

Avery:" y-yeah... can you help me with my hair"

Nat:" of course"

Natasha sat behind Avery and combed her hair. After she combed Avery's hair she braided it into french braids. 

Nat: "how is that?"

Avery: "good thanks Talia"

(nat) Whenever Avery had nightmares the night prior or early in the morning, she had a hard time doing simple tasks. For example from unlocking her phone, to brushing her teeth, or to picking out clothes so I was always there to help. 

Natasha and Avery walk downstairs to the kitchen

Nat: "are you sure you want to go to work today?"

Avery: "yeah I do besides I've missed a lot so I need to catch up"

Nat: "Avery you should just take the day off or try doing work from home, you need a break from that stressful environment"

Avery: "Natalia I'll be fine"

She kisses Natasha's cheek and walks over to the fridge

Avery: "are you okay with egg whites with peppers for breakfast?"

Nat: "sure but I'll make it"

Avery: "Natalia don't you dare get near or touch the stove. Last time you made one of those microwaveable Mac and cheese cup things the microwave caught fire which I don't even know how that was possible." 

Nat: "that was one time Avery. One time"

Avery: "still. Besides your food sucks and I'm fine cooking"

Nat:"сука(b*tch)"

Avery glares at Natasha

Avery: "наталья алиановна ты лучше следи за своим ртом(natalia alianovna you better watch your mouth)"

Nat: "sorry it slipped

Avery: "mhm sure"

Nat: "sorry babe"

She kisses Averys cheek

Nat: "love you"

Avery sighs

Avery: "I love you too"

As Avery cooks they continue to talk

Avery: "what time is it?"

Natasha looks at her watch

Nat: "it's 7:40. I should wake up Alexei right"

Avery: "yeah you should"

Nat: "Okay I'll wake up our little monster. be right back"

She kisses Avery and walks upstairs

(Avery) Alexei was our son. He is 6 years old and what Natalia and I are most thankful for that came out of our relationship. Alexei is the light in our life even though at times he can be our little monster as Natalia calls him. 

10 minutes later

Alexei comes running downstairs with Natasha chasing after him

Nat: "ALEXEI SLOW DOWN!"

Alexei: "mommy"

He hugs Avery, Avery hugs him back

Avery: "good morning Alexei"

She kisses the top of his head

Alexei: "what's for breakfast mommy?"

Avery: "I'm making eggs"

Alexei: "awww" 

Avery: "I know you don't want eggs but eggs are good for you"

Nat: "is he complaining about what we are going to have for breakfast?"

Avery: "yes like always. I swear to god he gets that from you"

Nat: "what no he doesn't"

Avery throws a sponge at Natasha

Nat: "hey!"

She laughs

Avery: "I'll meet you at the compound after I drop Alexei off at school"

Nat: "Are you sure?"

Avery: "yes I'm sure"

Natasha walks over to Avery and wraps her arms around Avery's waist

Nat: "I'm just worried about you. Especially since that nightmare really hit you hard"

Avery wraps her arms around Natasha's neck and kisses her

Avery: "I appreciate that you are worried about me baby but I'm fine I promise you"

Nat: "okay then. Call me if you need anything"

Avery: "I will"

Natasha kisses Avery

Alexei: "ewww stop kissing"

Natasha and Avery laugh they look at each other and then at Alexei. They both kiss his cheeks

Alexei: "no stop! stop!"

Avery and Natasha laugh again

Nat: "I'm going to head out love you"

Avery: "love you too"

Natasha hugs Alexei and kisses the top of his head

Nat: "I'll see you when I get home okay"

Alexei: "okay bye mommy"
