the photographer [c.h.]

epilogue

"Mommy! You have to come tell me a bedtime story!" I laughed a little as Calum whined, not letting go of my waist. 

"Don't leave me." Calum dramatically said and I laughed, getting his arm off of me. 

"I'll be back in ten minutes." I said and he pouted. "Fifteen, tops." I got up from the couch and made my way upstairs to Travis's room, seeing him sitting up in bed. 

"What'll it be tonight?" I asked, sitting down next to him after he had scooted over and Travis thought for a moment before replying. 

"How did you and daddy meet?" He asked and I smiled a little, watching him curl up into the covers. 

"Well, I went on tour as the photographer for your dad and your uncles and we never got along. We started dating after a few months and-" I was cut off by Calum who had walked into the room. 

"I don't think that's how it goes." He smirked and sat down at the end of the bed. "Your mom hated me for months and I finally got her to like me with my charm." Calum winked, making Travis laugh. "And then we started dating." 

"Alright, you have a game in the morning. Time for bed." I stood up from the bed and Calum did too. "Night, honey." 

"Night mommy." Travis said, a yawn escaping his lips. "Night, daddy." 

Calum and I left Travis's room after turning the light off and cracking the door. Before I could go any further, Calum grabbed me by the waist and tugged me into our bedroom, shutting the door behind us. I laughed as he pulled me over to the bed and he hopped on top of me, his arms on either side of my head. 

"Nice story." Calum smirked and I laughed, tangling my fingers in his hair. 

"Uh-uh. We have to be up early." I laughed as he started kissing down my neck. "I love you, but I'm exhausted." 

"Same. I just wanted to see you pout." Calum laughed and I rolled my eyes, getting out of bed to change. 

I grabbed some shorts and a tank top to sleep in and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth while Calum did the same in the sink next to mine. I tossed my hair into a bun once I finished and used the toilet before going to bed. Calum was already under the covers and I turned the lights off, getting into bed alongside him. Calum tugged me closer to him and I smiled a little, snuggling up to him like usual. 

"Happy anniversary, babe." Calum mumbled, closing his eyes and I did too, laying back on the pillow. 

"Happy anniversary." I whispered, finally falling asleep.
