Tana's POV
After being in such a horrible condition after his crash, Brandon was much more weary about everything that was going on around him and I felt terrible he was going through this. The trauma that had been left with him was brutal. Even though a couple months had gone by, and he'd made a full recovery from the accident, he still was on edge when in a vehicle which made it extremely difficult to have him even leave the house to go anywhere.

The band had to cancel the Asian leg of the tour as well. Brandon simply refused to go. Despite being to the dismay of the other band members, they simply couldn't change his mind about going through with it. It's hard to see the person you love most in the world going through such a hard time and not being able to handle it in the best way. I guess the thought of travelling such a long distance was torture that he was not going to allow himself to be put through. I didn't argue with it.

They cancelled the rest of the tour.

It took Brandon over a year to start being his normal self again, willing to go places in the car without any excuses why he didn't need to go and also not being so on edge about the smallest of things. His paranoia was starting to calm down and I was extremely glad of it. It took a while but we luckily got him there.

We were sprawled out on our bed. Being lazy together was our favourite thing to do. Doing nothing was the best.

Taking deep breaths, we finally caught up with them, feeling slightly exhausted from our heated session. His fingers brushed through his hair to push it back from his forehead and he brought the other hand up to his chest and gave it a small rub. "How you do that is beyond me." A small smirk crept onto my face and I knew that every time we slept together, we made each other weak afterwards.

"Must be a gift."

"Definitely." He turned to face me. "Damn."

It was a fact that after such activities, Brandon had to sleep. He crawled up and slid himself under the sheets. "Take a nap with me." My half of the sheets got lifted by him and I scooted in under, turning so that my man could spoon me. There was nowhere that I'd felt safer. The gentle peck on the back of my head left my heart swooning. He knew he did this to me and he loved the effect he brought upon me.

Soon, we were both asleep.

Brandon's POV

My dad had offered to babysit the kids for us. It wasn't something we did often, but it felt right to have a date night with my wife, so I accepted my dad's offer. At midday he came to get our 4 babies, and now we had the house to ourselves for a whole day, with no responsibilities, therefore meaning the majority of the time would be spent in the bedroom. And that's exactly what we did.

We lost total track of time and ended up in our bedroom for the rest of the day, missing our reservation at a local Chinese restaurant - but it was so worth it.

When we were finally exhausted, we joined each other to have a quick shower before climbing back into bed and watching tv. Tana was cuddled up next to me. Her hand on my chest with her leg bent over so that it was resting on my lap. It didn't take long before I noticed she was fast asleep - so I decided to join her. The tv was off, and the room was dark. I pecked her temple then slept for the rest of the night, not moving from the position we nestled ourselves in.
