Problems at home

I'm so sorry for this chapter being short but i will tie more of this chapter into more moving forward xx

I arrived at home and pull into my driveway to see my husband stood waiting at the window.  I exit my car and head into the house "hey sweetheart I'm home" I call as I enter the house "what time do you call this? Late two days in a row, tonight you didn't even message, I had to put the girls to bed again" I stood on the spot completely bewildered by what Gareth had just said as he left the living room, he had never been like this before.

I stood for a while thinking about what could have gotten into him after a while I went to the kitchen, he had still cooked for me.  I heated up my meal and sat at the dining table to eat alone, usually Gareth still sits with me while I eat but tonight, he wasn't there, he had gone. Tonight I ate alone after I had eaten I washed my dishes and then headed upstairs to have a shower, as I walked into our shared bedroom, he was sat on the bed "I don't even want to look or speak to you right now, you can sleep in the spare room tonight" again I stood completely rooted to the spot completely confused and bewildered "Gareth what is wrong? this isn't like you?" Gareth looked at me "get your stuff for the night and get out" his tone getting angrier.  I gather my night clothes and clothes for tomorrow and head into the spare room, I'm so confused what has happened in the last two days to make Gareth change.  I shower and try and settle into bed although I was in my house I most certainly wasn't in my home.

It was around 1am I had settled to sleep but wasn't fully asleep, I heard Sophie crying which wasn't normal for her to wake during the night maybe she sensed the tension in the house, as I get up to tend to Sophie, I look through the gap in the door of mine and Gareth's shared bedroom he was asleep.  I carry on to the girl's bedroom and pick Sophie up out of her cot "hey, hey its ok tiny one mammas here, mammas got you, you're ok" I rock her gently trying to soothe her, she wouldn't settle her, so I took her downstairs, so it didn't wake Layla and Gareth the last thing I needed was the tension around Sophie to make her more agitated.

I took Sophie into the kitchen to make her some milk "here you go baba will this make you feel better?" it wasn't till now I looked at Sophie properly her cheeks were flushed and she was a little snotty "have you got more teeth coming in baba, let mamma see" I poked my pinky finger in her little mouth and felt she had some molars, coming through right at the back.  I found the teething gel and rubbed some on her gums to see if that would soothe her anymore. 

I decided against going back upstairs till Sophie was settled again. I think it took around 30 minutes for her to settle back down as she was starting to fall asleep in my arms, I decided to head back up to bed, I didn't put Sophie back in her cot and decided to put her in bed with me.

Having Sophie in bed gave me some comfort and I loved having her there to cuddle and be on hand if she was to wake again. That was till morning when Gareth came into the room "what the hell do you think you're doing?" Gareth snapped at me "Sophie woke up crying at 1 am I took her downstairs and settled her before I came back up to bed, I put her in with me so if she woke again, she wouldn't wake you" "get her back in her cot now, you need to get up for work and go and deal with you "friends" don't you" Gareth snapped at me again.  I picked Sophie up and took her to her cot luckily the angered voice and being carried didn't disturb her.  I have no clue what is wrong with Gareth, but I was going to find out tonight one way or another.
