Save Me

EPILOGUE.

I shifted around uncomfortably before turning over to my side. I felt a familiar pair of arms wrapped around me, which just happened to belong to Justin. I smiled, burying my face into the nape of his neck. 

I looked up to his peaceful face, placing a small kiss on his nose. He flinched a little bit and let out a small breath of air, which happened to be adorable in my opinion. 

"Wake up babe," I murmered softly, pressing my lips against his plump lips. I stared at his face, adorning everything about it. 

"What?" He groaned, adjusting his position in our bed. "10 more minutes." 

"But you have to leave in a half an hour," I replied. I kissed him once more on the lips, hoping he would finally open his eyes. A few seconds later I watched as his eyes fluttered open and he buried his face into the pillow his head was placed on. 

"I don't wanna go," He complained, snaking his arms around my waist from underneath the covers. "What time did you say it was again?" 

I glanced at the alarm clock on my nightstand. "9:30." 

After a few seconds of silence, Justin finally sprang up. "9:30?!" I inexplicably looked at him, wondering what he was referring to. 

"Yeah?" I replied, furrowing my eyebrows together. "You have to be at the studio, you'll be there in plenty of time. Plus it's Christmas Eve so they might let you off early." 

"Lains, think about it," He tapped his forehead. "It's 9:30 right now. Why the hell did we sleep in so late?" 

I sat there confused for a couple seconds, until it finally hit me. "Shit!" I said, throwing the covers off of me. "What if something happened to them? They usually wake up at 8 and it's already 9:30 and this makes me really nervous," I continued rambling on, throwing a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants over my bra and panties. 

"I'm sure they're fine though," He stood up on his side of the bed, stretching his muscles out. I couldn't help but stare at him, even though I had the view of his back, he was still extremely sexy right now. 

"I know, I kinda freaked out," I laughed nervously. "I'm just gonna go check quick though and then I'll make you some breakfast." 

I quickly left the room, worried about Drew and Kaitlin who were still asleep for some strange reason. Either that or they got kidnapped, but I wouldn't allow myself to think about that kind of stuff. 

I finally reached Drew's room, and a wave of relief washed over me when I realized he was still laying in his crib, sound asleep. I couldn't help but smile while looking at his chubby baby face pressed against the padding of his crib. He was a little over one now, and I couldn't actually believe where the time had gone.

I exited his room before peering into Kaitlin's room, happy to see that she was also peacefully asleep on her toddler sized bed with her princess sheets covering her. For a four year old she was pretty small, but then again neither Justin nor I were very tall. She definetly looked exactly like me, and Drew looked more like Justin. They both had Justin's chocolate brown eyes, but Kaitlin had my nose and lips. 

Once I got downstairs, I decided to make pancakes for Justin, which were his favorite. He had been working really hard at his job lately, and I thought it was the least I could do for him. It wasn't long before I heard footsteps coming down the stairs, a pair that I knew were Justin's. 

"Don't get me wrong, I love my job but I'm just sick of it right now," He said as soon as he walked into the kitchen. "I just wanna spend the holidays with my family." 

I gave him a sincere smile. "Today is your last day before christmas break, just make the best of it," I said, trying to remain positive. "Plus when you get home your family will be waiting for you."
