Sadie's salvation

Chapter 12

Sadies pov

I can't tell wether I'm dreaming or not, Aaron's arms are wrapped tightly around me and Eli as this morning he joined us before we all fell back asleep.

I grab Aaron's phone off the side to see its 1 in the afternoon, how on earth have we all slept to long, but what has my attention the most I'd the knocking on the door. I softly shake Aaron and as his eyes flutter open he smiles "there's somebody at the door" I whisper, he gets up "and good morning to you too" he laughs.

He quickly grabs a pair of grey joggers and kisses me on the forehead "one minute princess" he leaves the room and I internally scream of excitement, Eli starts to stir "hi baby" I say brushing his hair out of his face, it's very dependent on the day wether Eli likes the morning or not.

"Hi mummy" I sit up and he follows to climb into my lap "we've slept so late" I tell him, but I think he's more interested in the absence of Aaron "somebody was knocking at the door" I tell him.

As we sit in silence I hear chatter down stairs, it's a woman, please don't tell me that he has a secret wife or something because I will loose my shit.

"Shall we go on a secret mission and see who Aaron is talking to" I whisper to Eli and straight away he's up for it, we slowly walk to the top of the stairs.

"Well sweetheart I wanted to come and get the gossip I didn't think we guys would still be asleep" sweetheart really, I don't get angry though because for some reason I'm not getting lover vibe.

"Alright mum, have no clue what your mean by gossip" I left out a sigh of relief but then also I start to panic, his mum, what's his mum doing here.

Eli is getting unsettled and I can tell he just wants to go and see Aaron "he busy baby" I whisper "no he's not, he just stood there" Eli says with his normal tone, and I felt like smacking my head "is that that sweet boy" I hear the woman say.

I can tell it's really hard for Eli to stay put so I just nod my head and he goes flying down the stairs and running over into Aaron arms, well I best go down to, I push my hair down and cringe that this is the way I'm meeting his mother.

I walk down the stairs and her head whips to me "my, my you are beautiful" she says, she rushes over to hug me, Aaron apologises from over her shoulder "I hope you don't mind, I didn't think you lot would still be asleep" she says to me "of course not"

We make our way into the kitchen "well aren't you just the cutest" she says the Eli and he blushes and hides his head in Aaron's neck.

"I won't stay for long, as I'll leave you two love birds to be" this is my turn to blush now but I don't have Aaron to hide, he holds his free arm our for me and I come to his side.

"You look like the prefect little family" she tells us "and your boy is beautiful" she directs towards me, I smile, every parent loves when somebody compliments their child, "thank you very much" I say, but in my head Im thinking that your boy is beautiful too, but I refrain.

"And thank you Sadie, since you've been here Aaron has been less of a miserable sod" I laugh and so does she "mum" Aaron moans "sweetheart, you know I'm right" he shakes his head in disbelief that his mother is outing him like this.

"Well I will be off then, we should definitely go out some time Sadie, just you and me" I nod my head "Yeah that sounds like a good idea" her face lights up "right well I'm off, see you lot, bye bye Eli"

She walks her self out and as soon as the door closes I let out a breath of relief "I'm sorry about that, I know it put you on the spot" he kisses the top of my head and Eli leans over to do the same, he's already picking up some of Aaron's good behaviour.

"She really nice" he nods his head in agreement "how are you feeling this morning" he questions "great" that is the honest answer.

He gets on one knee and put Eli on it "and how's baby boy this morning" he jesters towards my shirt and I nod, he lifts it up and rest it at the top of my bump.

The baby kicks at his words, he places a kiss on my stomach and Eli follows suit.

I've been through shit, shit nobody should have to go through, but this, this is my reward, my peace.
