Chapter 31

Sawyer POV

'Mommy! Daddy! Please wake up! WAKE UP!'

I look around and slowly the scene starts to change. I look and see my parents and we're standing on a soccer pitch. "Come on, Sawyer! You can do it! Just keep walking and kick the ball." My dad says. I walk up to it and kick, but miss and fall. They both laugh and my dad comes to pick me up, "It's okay, Sawyer. You'll get it. We just have to keep trying." I smile and giggle at him.

I feel myself start to wake up, "Shh, it's okay. You're okay, baby."

I open my eyes and look up and see Alex holding me. She reaches down and wipes under my eyes with her thumbs. "Deep breaths, baby."

I nod. "I-I-I-it went away."

"What went away?" She asks.

"The nightmare, it turned into them playing soccer with me. It was happy."

She smiles, "Good. Bree's technique worked then. Time to go back to sleep, okay?"

I nod and she starts to get up. "N-n-no! Stay!"

Alex softens, "Okay, just until you fall back asleep."

I cuddle deeper into her, "Squeeze?"

I feel her tightly wrap her arms around me and smile. "Love you, momma." I whisper.

"Love you too, Sawyer."

Alex POV

I feel Sawyer's breath even out and give her a kiss on the head.

I untangle myself and pull her covers back up while brushing hair out of her face.

I walk out of her room and leave the door cracked. I walk to Charlie's room and see her still asleep thankfully.

I woke to Sawyer yelling in her sleep and am grateful that Charlie stayed asleep.

I walk back to mine and Serv's room and crawl back into bed. "She okay?" He mumbles sleepily.

"Yeah. She's back asleep. Night babe." I whisper and fall asleep shortly after.

"Al. Baby. Alex. Wake up." I groan and crack my eyes open. "Yes?"

Serv chuckles, "I'm going to go start breakfast, but I think you should get going and wake Sawyer and Charlie."

I look at the clock, 7AM. I nod and get up. I throw on my training clothes and wash my face.

I walk to Charlie's room and see she is not in her bed. I smile and walk to Sawyer's room where I see them both, hair a wild mess, Sawyer drooling and Charlie with her fingers in her mouth.

I walk to Sawyer's bed and sit down, "Wakey wakey, my babies."

I hear two groans. "No, momma. So tired. Sawyer and I sleep."

"Don't want to, momma!" Sawyer whines.

"I'm sorry guys, we have to get moving. Come on."

I see two sets of eyes open and stare at me.

"Charlie, let's go get dressed." She holds her arms up so I pick her up.

I grab Sawyer's blanket and pull, "Ugh, momma!"

"Sawyer. Up. Right now."

"FINE!" She gets up and stomps to her bathroom.

I rub my forehead, "Alright, let's go my sleepy monkey."

I get Charlie dressed for the day and walk out of her room. I hear Sawyer's shower still running, "Sawyer! You've been in the shower 20 minutes, let's go!"
