You're my whole world

6. Stay out of our lives

Tristen was actually pretty good at the hockey game we were playing.

"How'd you get so good?" I asked him.

"Uncle Wicky, and Kuza." He replied. Now Kuza I could see, but Ricky? I know he ain't that good at Xbox. A few more games later I decided that it was probably time for Tristen to go to bed otherwise Nikki might kill me.

"Alright little man, it's bedtime." I stated after he beat me one last time.

"But daddy I'm not tired." He whined.

"You may not be tired at the moment, but once I turn everything off, and you lay down you will be." I said. I took the controllers and put them back by the tv, then I grabbed him some batman pajamas.

"Here ya go." I said handing him the pajama set. I turned back around for a second to close the drawer, and when I turned around I saw Tristen had the pants on his head, and the shirt part was on his legs.

"Daddy this doesn't feel right." He said, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"That's cause that's not the right way to wear it." I said. "Here I'll help." I said walking up to him. We fixed his pajamas, and I got him into bed.

"Daddy could you put a movie on?" He asked me. I thought about it for a moment.

"Okay but I'm gonna put a timer on the tv okay?" I said he nodded his head.

"Alright what do you wanna watch?" I asked.

"Disney!" He shouted.

"Okay okay." I said putting my hands up I searched Netflix for Disney movies he picked out Hercules, and I put it on for him.

"Thanks Daddy." He said snuggling into his pillow.

"You're welcome love you buddy." I said walking out, and shutting the door. I decided that I should go and check on Nikki, but when I got downstairs she wasn't laying down on the couch anymore she wasn't there at all. I checked the kitchen remembering that she didn't eat anything earlier, but she still wasn't there. I walked back upstairs maybe she went in our room, and I just don't remember seeing her.

I walked back up the stairs past Tristen's room, and straight to our room. I opened the door, and saw Nikki laying down on the bed. I quietly walked in, and shut the door.

"Do you know how late it is?" She questioned.

"No." I replied I really didn't know what time it was.

"Chris it's 1 AM! It's way too late for Tristen to be up!" She half yelled half whispered. I sighed.

"Babe we started playing the Xbox, and I just lost track of time, but I put him to bed don't worry." I said walking over to her side of the bed, and crouched down so I could kiss her forehead. I noticed that she was really warm, so I put my hand up to examine further I frowned.

"You're really warm babe." I stated. She shrugged, and pulled the blankets up to her chin.

"How do you feel?" I asked her.

"Chris I feel fine honestly, it's probably nothing anyways, I just want to go to sleep." She said. I sighed and nodded my head.

"Okay love you." I said.

"Yeah love you too!" She replied rolling over. I shook my head and got in the bed with her. I tried to wrap her in my arms, but she just pulled away from me. I sighed, and turned around facing away from her. God I really hope this isn't PMS! I quickly fell asleep.

When I woke up I noticed that Nikki was still asleep I looked at the time, and noticed it was only ten thirty. I got up, and went to  check on Tristen only to find his room empty. I went downstairs, and heard noises coming from the kitchen. When I walked inside I saw Tristen trying his hardest to get a box of cereal from the counter. You could tell he was getting mad.
