Chapter 44

*Hey guys, I've not had much time to write this week so this chapter's a bit shorter but wanted to at least give you something!*

03:58am was showing on the nightstand. They had made it through most of the night, which in the second Andy had looked at the clock, was welcomed with open arms. Andy thought about the last time she had this much sleep and figured out that she couldn't actually pin point a time she could remember. Savannah was yet to wake up, so she thought her plan of her falling asleep in their bed may have worked. The soothing sound of her husband's breathing next to her brought her comfort as she snuggled back in to her pillow. She could hear muffled noises coming from one of the boys though. She debated leaving them to it and hoping they'd drift back off to sleep on their own, but she equally didn't want them to wake the whole house up if they started crying. She looked on the monitor and could see it was Grayson who was stirring. 'Ah baby boy, if you were Enz I'd leave you be...' her inner monologue was churning. She thought for a few seconds and then took a deep breath in... 'I'm coming baby' she whispered out loud.

She slowly climbed out of her invitingly warm bed and tiptoed out of the room, she knew Robert hadn't been sleeping either so if she could at least let him rest a bit more, that would help them both. She opened the boys' door slowly, trying not to wake up Enzo and quietly walked over to Grayson's cot, where he was now standing up and holding on to the bars.

"Mum Mum." He babbled, spitting out his pacifier.

"Hi Gorgeous, what are you doing awake?" She whispered as she turned their white noise machine back on. She leant in to pick him up and took him over to the rocking chair.

"Es muy temprano baby...Vuelve a dormir" She whispered as she held him, slowly rocking him back and forth and gently holding his pacifier in. She thought he might just need a cuddle, but he wouldn't settle until she'd cradled him for a feed.

"Okay, okay, there you go." She whispered as he latched on. She rocked slowly, stroking from his forehead to his nose, just as he liked, trying to get him back to sleep. The thought had dawned on her that if her daughter woke up at this precise moment, she wouldn't be able to help her and it might make everything worse. She was trying to think about the best thing do to if that scenario occurred, pass Grayson to Robert even though he's mid feed? Have them both feed at the same time? Take them both to their bed? Pray Enzo doesn't wake up and just hope she stays asleep? The cogs were whirring quickly and she was willing, with every fibre in her being, for Grayson to drop back off to sleep quickly.

About 15 minutes passed and he still wasn't sleeping. This was putting Andy more on edge and he could pick up on her stress so he wasn't settling. She decided in a split second to take him back in to their room and try and get him to sleep in their bed. At least that way she'd have Robert to keep her calm.

"Come on Papi, let's go and sleep with Dada." She went to stand up but the movement annoyed him even more so she had to carry him still latched on, which was getting harder to do now that he was so much bigger. She opened the door to their room slowly, hoping Robert would still be asleep, but to her surprise, the bed was empty.

She could see the nightlight on in their bathroom so assumed he'd just gone to the toilet and would be back shortly. Grayson was fussing more and more so she lay down and got comfy herself and then lay him next to her to cuddle and suckle to sleep. Robert came out not long after and climbed in to bed on his side.

"Hey Honey, where've you been? I woke up and you were gone. Is he ok?" He asked, his low voice vibrating slightly.

"Just the boys' room. He woke up about a half hour ago and I just couldn't get him back to sleep and"
