Together is my favourite place to be❤️

Chapter 1

You've all inspired me with your fabulous stories so I thought I'd try one of my own! - Tara x

It was a perfect late August day, the sun rose slowly and shone through the small gap in the curtains of the Herrera-Sullivan household.

Andy stirred from her slumber and let out a small stretch, trying not to wake the tall and handsome figure beside her. She took a quick look at the time and silenced her alarm that was soon due to go off. "He needs all the sleep he can get" she thought to herself. He'd been burning the candle at both ends recently and not finding much time to sleep. Rolling off the bed towards the bathroom to get ready for work, Andy felt a familiar touch on her arm, gently pulling her back.

"Hey where're you going?" he says sleepily.

"Oh I'm sorry baby I tried not to wake you" she whispers back.

"It's ok, come back to bed I haven't had my morning kiss."

Andy allows herself to be pulled back in to the arms of her husband and kisses him softly, gently brushing their lips together.

"Mmm Good Morning my love."

"Good Morning mi amor." Waking up more now he knows his wife will need to get ready soon so asks "Are you sure you're okay to go to work today? You did nothing but worry about Savannah yesterday and as much as I love to hear your voice on the phone, calling every 20 minutes surely can't be good for focussing at work?" He let out a chuckle.

"Robert" she replies, rolling her eyes at his frustrating, yet accurate observation of her behaviour, "I'm sure, she was doing so much better last night and it's much easier for you to stay home with her and you know that. I'll drop the boys to daycare on my way in so you can concentrate on her."

"Ok...I'll...let...you...shower...then" He says in between sweet, soft kisses.

Andy brushed her teeth and got in to the steaming hot shower, leaving the door open just a crack so her husband could watch from bed. Robert smiled to himself, thinking about how lucky he was to have such a beautiful and sexy wife, as well as his 3 perfect children.

Just as he was going to get up and join her, he heard the pitter patter of footsteps along their hardwood floors, he lay back down and then just as she turned the corner to her parents' bedroom, he heard "Daddy!" Coming from his bright eyed and bushy tailed little girl.

"Good Morning princess! You look like you're feeling much better!" He exclaimed, eagerly awaiting her response.

"I am, I want to go to school today!" Savannah squealed excitedly.

"I think we should take one more day off together to make sure you're feeling 100% before we send you back to school. The boys will be going to daycare, we can watch as many movies as you like and we'll order in for dinner?" He asked, hopeful that the bribe of movies, pizza and a daddy-daughter day would be enough to sway her.

"With Mummy, too?" She pleaded.

"Not today baby, Mummy needs to go to work, but you'll see her after school tomorrow!"

"Ohh, okay" Savannah replied, visibly sad about their arrangements for the day.

"Is that mi hija that I hear in my bed" Andy said, heading out of the bathroom and over to her daughter and husband.

"It is Mummy, it's me! I want you to stay home with me, I'm feeling better and Daddy said we can watch movies and order takeout! Please!" She begged.

"Oh my girl, I wish I could but you know Mummy has to work today. I promise we'll do something fun tomorrow after school when we're all home though, Ok?"

"Okay" she mumbled, hugging her Mum tightly around her neck.

Andy tucked Savannah in to her bed with Robert and went to wake their beautiful twin boys and get them ready for daycare. When walking in to their room, Enzo was already sat up in his cot and gave the biggest smile to his mum when she opened the door. " Mama!" He babbled.

"Good morning my handsome little prince. Did you have a good sleep?" She asked, picking him up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. She changed his diaper, blew little raspberries on his belly and got him dressed with the clothes she'd laid out last night. She took him in to her room and gave him to Robert whilst she went to prepare a bottle for both boys. The boys are breastfed sometimes, mostly at night now, but will also take a bottle of expressed milk, making life much easier for Robert.

Andy went to grab Grayson who was still sleeping soundly in his cot. She woke him gently by stroking his cheek softly and then picked him up for a cuddle. He grizzled slightly at being woken up and didn't enjoy having his diaper changed at all. Fully dressed and ready for the day Andy took an unhappy Grayson into her room with everyone else and sat down in bed with him. As soon as he saw a bottle he stopped crying and lay with Andy for some milk.

Robert loved mornings like this, his whole family in bed with him getting ready for the day. He looked at his wife, leant over and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

Once the boys were finished, Andy grabbed her flask of coffee and the boys' bags and loaded the car.

Going back upstairs, Andy shouted "we have to go, I'm going to be late! Kisses" as she pressed her lips first to Savannah's cheek and then to Robert's lips, lingering there before pressing herself up off his chest, picking up the boys and walking out the door.

"Daddy! Can we make smoothies before we watch Frozen?! Please?"

"Anything for you princess" Robert said softly "But first, I need the biggest hug in all the land!"

Savannah got back under the covers and gave Robert the biggest hug, her arms not touching round his torso.

"Ahh, perfect!" He exclaimed, running his fingers through his daughters long, brown, curly locks.

A little short chapter of fluff to start you off with, because why not?!
