Sleep Is The Essence Of Life

Chapter 4

Demi's POV

 It's currently two in the morning and Delilah is bouncing up and down on the bed. I groan and pull a pillow over my head, but she quickly throws it to the floor. Simon then sits up. Guess he's awake now. He bends over to gently pick her up and brings her to her room. I follow him there to make sure that Delilah climbs into bed. 

   Instead of being tucked in, she decides to start jumping on her bed.  I sigh. I love that my daughter has so much energy. The only thing is I don't appreciate it at two in the morning. I'm lucky if I get three to four hours of sleep a night anymore. I love being a mother more than anything in the world, but I would give a lot to have a night where I could get more than four hours of sleep. I feel like a zombie most days.  

   Simon gives her a stern but fair look. "Delilah, we love seeing you so happy baby girl, but mommy and daddy need to sleep. It's way past your bed time. Why are you awake?" She laughs. "I want to go to school." I can't hold back a smile at that. "Delilah we're happy you love school, but you need to sleep too. If you don't sleep, you will feel sick and we don't want you to be sick. Do you understand?" She nods. "Good, now daddy and I are going to cover you up." We take all blankets and make sure she's snuggled in tight. We kiss her on both cheeks before climbing back into our bed. I lean my head into a nook in Simon's chest and fall back to sleep on impact.
