THE NEXT MORNING, POLLY GRAY WOKE up, she made herself a tea and went into the living room.
She stopped abruptly and a small smile graced her lips as she took a sip of her brewing tea.
Leaning against the doorframe she stared at the sleeping pair on the small sofa.

The Montesinos woman and her nephew, Tommy, were laying arms in arms on the settee, asleep.
The blonde girl was laying on the man with her entire body and he had his arms around her in a protective manner.
Polly smiled at this widely as she shook her head and went back into the kitchen, not wanting to wake the pair up.

Two hours later, Arthur and John Shelby have woken up and went down the stairs to eat something.
Together they went into the kitchen to see their happy aunt.

"What got you so happy, aunt Pol?", Arthur asked, yawning and grabbed something to drink.

Polly smirked slightly and then said,"You will see soon."

John then looked around the kitchen and grew confused,"Oi, where the fuck is Tommy? He ain't one to sleep long."

Their aunt then chuckled loudly, making the boys look at her in confusion.
"Go and look for him in the living room."

The Shelby men both looked at each other, shrugging, before leaving for the living room.
As soon as they entered it, they looked around and spotted the person they searched for.
They both smirked at each other, walking towards the sofa and then examined the sleeping pair.

Lucrecia's long, blonde hair was sprawled all over Tommy's arms as her face was laying against his chest, her chest and legs on his body.
Tommy still had his arms around her waist as he slept peacefully, which was due a long time.

Arthur smiled widely at the sight of the blonde and tickled her slightly on her neck, making her move weakly.
He chuckled together with John and then tapped with his fingers on her back.
Lucrecia moved more, which lead to Tommy's arms tightening around her waist, holding her closer.
John clammed his hand over his mouth as he tried to soothe his laughter.
God, his brother was cuddling.

"Lu.", whispered Arthur in her ear as he moved down to her.
She didn't move, making him do it again, but a lot louder,"Lu."

Lucrecia's body jumped up in shock as her head looked around the room eagerly.
Her eyes fell on the snickering brothers and then she widened her eyes at the eldest.
"Arthur.", she smiled tiredly, rubbing her eyes.

"Good to see ya little sister.", Arthur smiled brightly and his chest grew warm at the blonde's smile.

She was about to stand up, but was soon pulled down again.
Lucrecia huffed at the hard impact and rolled her eyes.
Tommy groaned loudly, hiding his face in her neck.
His arms tightened around her once again and he inhaled her scent.

"Get back to sleep, Amora.", he muttered in his husky voice as he kissed her covered shoulder softly.

Lucrecia hummed and nuzzled her face into Tommy's chest.
John and Arthur wiggled their eyebrows at each other and then Arthur tried to pick up the blonde woman.
She let out a small squeal as she was lifted in the air, before being pulled down again with an harsh movement.

"Leave us the fuck alone, Arthur. Piss off you two.", Tommy said annoyed and then groaned loudly when Lucrecia was picked up once again.
He grabbed Lucrecia's waist, pulling her down and then moved their positions.
The Shelby man was now on top of her, his face nuzzling into her neck as he held her waist softly.

Arthur laughed loudly and then exclaimed,"Get a room you two."

"Shut your fucking mouth and let us sleep in peace.", was Tommy's harsh response.

"You two, get back to cuddling.", John teased, walking off with a laughing Arthur in tow.

Tommy sighed in relief, leaning up a bit and then glanced at the blonde girl under him with sleepy eyes.
"Good morning.", he muttered quietly and then kissed her cheek softly.

"Morning tesoro.", she smiled weakly and then yawned slightly, making Tommy's lip twitch at how adorable she looked.

"I don't want to get up yet. I missed this too much.", the Shelby man admitted and then laid down again, putting his head on her shoulder.
Tommy felt at peace whenever he was close to Lucrecia and practically craved their alone time.

She let out a small chuckle and put her hand on Tommy's hair.
Her hand moved up and down, combing through his hair, earning a small, satisfied sigh from him.
"I missed this too."

"I haven't slept that good for years.", whispered Tommy and hummed at the feeling.
He realized he didn't hear things, he didn't have nightmares.
Of course Lucrecia would be the cure for his problems.
"So let's stay here all day."
