Rough doesn't even come close to describe these last few months. Being a parent for the first time is hard, really hard. You go through countless sleepless nights, and moments where you question so many things that you probably even question your own name.

But you don't have only one kid, oh no, you have twins. Which means double the trouble.

You felt like breaking down a few good times, to be quite honest. And that's probably just the first week.

Okay, okay. Maybe, that's a bit too harsh. You love your two baby boys more than anything. And you do feel like you were blessed to have them in your life. But, even though they are just 5 months old, they are able to tire the hell out of you.

Well, both you and Nathan.

Nathan, who works away from home for a good part of the year, feels bad for leaving you alone at home for, sometimes, weeks all because of roadies.

One baby can be hard on their own, from what he has heard from his teammates, but two?

Pity sometimes can't even come to describe how he feels when you call him late at night - for your daily facetime call - with a sleepy look on your face.

Especially when you end up falling asleep while he stops talking for just a second. Even though it's rare, it breaks his heart when it happens.

He feels awful, overall. So, he tries to do the most when he gets home.

From forcing you to sit down on the couch to let him take care of the boys, from almost having to lock you in the bedroom so he can do breakfast for all of you, Nate really tries his best at making you feel better.

And today was no different. It started with Nate having to shove his phone under his pillow so you couldn't hear his blasting alarm.

All because he wanted to wake up early and get some of your stuff done. And amazingly, he was able to not awake you.

He checked on the boys, took an extremely quick shower, and got started on breakfast, while at the same time, always trying to focus to see if he could hear any crying or even you walking around.

As expected, not even 20 minutes after Nate left the bed, you appeared by the kitchen doorway. You gave him a sleepy smile and soon wrapped your arms around him and hid your face on his chest.

Nathan just felt overly thankful for how long you two were able to stay like that before the boys woke up. It was all just so relaxing and calming that you two swore you could fall back asleep right there and then.
