never had i slept so good
so carefree, so comfortable and with no fucking nightmares.
I had slept more then six hours which is a goddamn miracle, thanks to my insomnia i rarely slept at night, mostly i lay awake tossing around or i busy myself with paper work, but last night i had slept through the night like a fucking baby.
The little Vixen slept soundly in my arms, i had woken up about ten minutes ago and had stayed put in my place enjoying the warmth of her body against mine along her soft breaths leaving her plump lips. I couldn't believe she had finally slept in my bed, in my room with me, it felt right.
"mhm" a soft hum came out of her pulling me out of my thoughts, i look down at her and brush her curls admiring her relaxed face, i brushed my thumb over her eyebrow and cheekbone, she was so goddamn beautiful.
her brown eyes drove me absolutely insane, filled with emotions and secrets that i wanted to uncover.
The bedroom door creaked open, making me lift my eyes from athena. Little footsteps sound is to be heard and the corners of my mouth lift up. Elijah climbs up the bed glancing from his mother to me and back down to her.
"sleepover without me?" he frowns and i try my best to hold the chuckle that is begging for realise, "sorry buddy, come join us" i lift up the blanket and he doesn't waste a second before he crawls underneath it settling on my right side, "its only seven am bud" i fix the blanket on us while he rests his tiny hand and head on my chest, his head gazing his mothers.
"i no find mommy and you" he whispers back, after that no words were spoken. My hands rubbed their heads stroking their hair while i listen to their slow breaths, this is what i want.
not long after he drifted into his sleep and i couldn't help but pull them a little tighter against my chest not wanting to ever forget this, the feeling of making them feel safe enough to sleep without a care.
i leaned my head back and closed my eyes listening to their breaths while i let darkness consume me for a little while, which didn't last long. Two hours later i started to feel the bed dip every once in a while, i crack my eye open and eye elijah who stood at our feet jumping on the bed.
his arms stretched above his head, his curls bouncing and his smile taking over his face, "my biwday is in five days!" he beams jumping quicker on the bed, athena's soft chuckle makes me tear my eyes from him and down to her, her smile matched his, her head remained on my chest and i couldn't help but let a big smile stretch on my face, it was only fair to match theirs.
"you turning four, mhm?" i speak up and their attention instantly falls on me, Athena's tired eyes twinkle looking at me, her smile widening while Elijah jumps onto my stomach making me grunt, "i will be four, Vinny" he grins and nod, a ping of dissapintment swirls along my chest at the fact that we were back at vinny.
