Moving Forward

Part 17

The Same Evening

Jennifer Jareau's POV

I'm laid on Spencer's chest. We're still naked. I'm half asleep, but Spencer is completely asleep. I can feel and hear his heart beating. I can feel his warm breath in my hair.

While sleeping, he puts his hand in my hair. I hug him tightly.

"I love you," I murmur.

I hear Spencer grunting to let me know that he's sleeping.

I close my eyes, and I decide to do like him: sleep.

I get lulled by the sound of Spencer's heart.

I get woken up by screams coming from the kids' room. I quickly get up, and I dress up with my panties and Spencer's shirt. Then, I run to their room.

I enter it, and I turn up the light. Spencer arrives right after me. He's rubbing his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I ask, walking to their beds.

I hold Hope and Jaeden. They are really hot.

"Another night to be awoken with the kids..." I sigh, looking at Spencer.

I go back to the living room, followed by Spencer, who's still waking up.

I slowly let myself fall on the couch not to hurt the kids.

"What do we do?" Spencer asks me, giving a little blanket.

"We wait. We can't do anything else."

"Why don't we go to the hospital?"

"If they're doing worse, we will. But not now."

Spencer sits beside me, and I let my head falls on his shoulder while he puts his arm around my shoulders.

Then, I fall asleep in Spencer's arms and with the kids in my arms...
