After - A Delena Story

15 - Realising -

I wake up on the couch next to Damon.
And the girls...

Lucy laying on top of me.
Livvy on top of Damon.

They weren't there when we fell asleep so they must've came down here in the night.

My arms are holding Lucy to my chest, I have to slowly move them from her.

I finally do and rub my eyes before stretching them.

They look so peaceful, so beautiful.
All three of them do.

Their lips slightly parted, little snores escaping their mouths.

I'm able to pull my phone out of my pocket to check the time.

It's nine thirty.

Jo said they'll probably be home around two.
So we have a while until they're home.

"Morning sunshine." I say softly as I brush the hair out of Damon's face.

His eyes slowly flutter open and he looks over at me with a small smile appearing on his face.

"Morning." He smiles but then his face goes straight to say, "Don't call me sunshine."

"When did these two join us?" He asks, gesturing to the girls.

"No idea. How are we going to get up?" I ask, I don't really want to wake them, it might be nine thirty but they didn't go to bed till late (for them) and they were obviously awake in the night seen as they came downstairs.

"I'll use my stealthiness." He smirks.

He holds Livvy tight to his chest and slowly gets up.
Once off the couch, he carefully lays her on the couch and pulls his arms away.

"Easy." He smiles, proudly.

I do the same with Lucy.
There's a few times where she looks like she's gonna wake up but luckily she doesn't.

"They'll probably be up soon anyway." Damon says, quietly as we walk into the kitchen.

"I'll make breakfast then." I say but he shakes his head.
"You go shower, change, freshen up or whatever. I'll make pancakes." He tells me.

I then remember I'm in the same clothes as yesterday.

"Okay, thank you." I say sweetly, going on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek.

I hurry up the stairs and go into the guest room that we didn't even use. I grab the change of clothes that I brought out of my bag and walk over to the bathroom.

————————

I walk down the stairs after showering, brushing my teeth and changing.

The girls are sat at the island watching Damon cook.

"You guys woke up fast." I say and walk over to the fridge.

"Yep. As soon as you went upstairs I dropped the pan on the floor." Damon smiles and I chuckle.

I take out the carton of orange juice and grabs the girls' cups. Pouring them each some.

"Here you are." I smile and pass them both their cups.

"Thank you." Lucy mumbles.
"You're welcome." I reply.
