Astra fell asleep in my arms, her hold around me was still tight.

I took off my hoodie and put it on her then I picked her up gently and carried her down towards the living room, everyone was down there except for Arlen.

He was upset because she passed out before it could be his turn, and it was a punishment for him too, for pushing her to wear such a thing in front of us.

We don't hate it, actually we loved that she wore it in front of us, but knowing she did it because Arlen wanted her to, we had to do something about it.

And letting Arlen not have a turn is the perfect punishment for him.

My heart pained at the sight of Astra covered in many band aids. We could have stopped ourselves but she's just so irresistible, it's hard not to.

"How is she?" Zack asked when he saw me come in to sit down with Astra in my arms.

"Sleeping and tired..." I responded, holding her closer to me.

Astra is such a sleeping beauty, I can't wait for my angel to wake up and hear her talk. I miss your voice...but her soft snores are enough right now.

I eventually put her down on the sofa as I and Keith sat on the ground so she could have the whole sofa. Listening to her breathe and letting out quiet mouse-like snores made us work harder so we would be free by the time she wakes up.

"Baby..." She groaned out as her hand reached over the edge of the sofa to gently brush my hair.

"Yes, angel?" I turned over to see her eyes still closed but her hand was wandering about to grab hold of something. I took her hand in mine and gently massaged it.

I lifted Astra and pulled her down on top of me. My hands rubbed her back under my hoodie that she is wearing.

"I'm hungry baby..."

"What do you want to eat, angel?"

"Something soft," she responded.

"What about mashed potatoes, or macaroni and cheese?"

"Mashed potatoes, add a lot of gravy please?" She asked as I watched her propped herself up and off my chest and stood up by herself. She wobbled a bit before straightening up.

I was the only one in the living room as the other wandered about and prepared dinner. Following right behind Astra, her small feet lead her towards the kitchen.

She spotted my friends preparing a feast. I don't know what's the special occasion but I know Astra will love it even without a reason.

"Hi." She greeted them as she walked in. They turned over in unison and gave her a smile in unison.

She walked forward to the counter to look at what they were making. They had already heard what she wanted to eat and were already making it right now.

"Can I help?" She asked, but there was a hint of tiredness in her voice. She's weak right now. I don't think it's best for her.
