A Life With You - BTY VERSE

The Bedtime Story

Imagine. You just put your baby boy to bed. You can't help the smile you have on your face after such an achievement. 2 hours of rocking him and now he's out for the night. Or at least the next 3 hours. You walk through the corridor to go to the living room, but on your way, your ear catches something cute. It comes from your daughter's room.

"And the boy says 'Ooh draw something' and the plane man go like 'no i can't'". You peek your head to her room's door. And a smile raises on your face like the sun in the morning. Your daughter is laying in bed, warmed against the sheets, with a book in her hands. Probably the book her father was supposed to read. He probably could if he wasn't fast asleep right next to her. The toddler noticed you and says loudly "Mommy!". You put a finger at your lips and whisper "Sshh..." behind a grin. She does the same and looks at her father. "Daddy is sleeping" she whispers loudly. "I see that. Did you read him to sleep?" you ask. You sit on the edge of the bed right next to Darren. "Yeah!" the little girl says proudly. "That's awesome honey. Silent high five" you whisper. She held her hand and you tap in it quietly. It made her giggle.

"Ok sweetie. It's time for bed now" you explain. Sami put her blanket to her neck. "Is it bedtime for Daddy too?" she asks. You chuckle. "I think so" you answer. You kiss his stubbled cheek. "Honey..." you whisper to his ear. "Hmmm..." he groans and moves a little in his sleep. "You should go in our bed" you suggest. "'m good here" he mumbles. You giggle. He is very cute. You push one of his curls out of his forehead. "I'm pretty sure you are, but Sam is not gonna have a lot of room left" you explain with a joking tone. He slowly opens his eyes and got his surroundings in consideration. "Oh sh... Shoot" he whispers. You chuckle. "I'm sorry baby" he kisses Sami's forehead. "Goodnight" he adds. You kiss her goodnight too and go off the bed. After quickly being out of her room, your hand in your husband's.

You turn off the light and close the door. "Aw honey" you pout at the sleepy face of your lover. He's standing there with his eyes closed, half-asleep, half-awake. "Can we go to bed...?" he asks. You giggle. "I think we're gonna do that" you place a kiss on his neck. You walk to your room, Darren behind you, with his chin on your shoulder. "Maybe I should ask Sami to read you more stories" you joke.
