Signe's POV
It was 7:30pm which meant it was bedtime for Tig. I went upstairs into the bathroom and got her bath ready. I put in some bubble bath and some toys. I went back downstairs to see Tig with her arms and legs wrapped around Sean's leg as he walked around the kitchen, putting the dishes away. Sean turns to me.
"You seeing this?" He asks me, pointing to Tig.
I laugh.
"She's like a little koala!" He says laughing.
I walked over and crouched down beside Tig.
"What are you doing?" I ask her, moving a piece of her hair out of her face.
She giggles and hides her face into Sean's leg. I shake my head.
"Your a silly girl aren't you?" I ask her.
She shakes her head.
"You're not?" I ask.
She shakes her head again.
"Haha! Well...your bath is ready!" I say and hold out my arms.
She leans over and I pick her up. I walk upstairs and into the bathroom. I put Tig down on the floor and undressed her. I checked the water to check it was warm and placed her in the bath. She starts to splash in the water and plays with the bubbles. I took her hair out of her ponytails and begin to wash it. I rinsed all the shampoo and conditioner out of her hair and started to wash her body. I stood her up to wash her stomach. As I washed it, I noticed the scar that was left from the surgery. I glide my finger over the scar and sighed.
"Ah?" I hear from Tig.
I look up and saw her holding a handful of bubbles. I smile and blew them, making them go everywhere. She giggles. I finish cleaning her and wrapped a towel round her. I lift her up and took her into my room and laid her down on our bed.
"Let's get you dry!" I say to her as I dried her off. She giggles and I began to tickle her. I dressed her in her onesie, brushed her hair and lift her into my arms again. I took her downstairs and into the kitchen where Sean was taking out Tig's bottle full of warm milk from the microwave. He turns and smiles, handing me the bottle. I gave it Tig and she drinks it. We walk into the living room and sat down and watched TV.

After about an hour, I looked over at Tig who was fast asleep. I nudge Sean and pointed to her. He nods and lifts Tig out of my arms and stands up. We walk upstairs to her room and gently placed her down on her bed. We covered her up and placed Woolly beside her. We kissed her and left her room, closing the door behind us.

Me and Sean went to bed 4 hours after Tig. We turned everything off downstairs and went upstairs into our room and got reader for bed. I got in bed first and Sean soon joined me. We snuggled together and fell asleep in each other's arms.

I soon was awoken to Tig screaming. Sean heard it to and we both ran out of our room and towards Tig's room. We burst open the door and turned on the light and ran to Tig. She was screaming loudly and crying. I picked her up and held her close to my chest.
"Shhh...baby girl. It's ok, I'm here." I say, kissing her head.
She quiets down and snuggles into me. Sean rubs her back and hands her Woolly and she holds him to his chest. After she had fully calmed down, me and Sean decided to let her sleep in our room tonight. I stood up and we made our way back to our room. I lay Tig in between us and covered her up. I stroked her cheek to get her sleepy, but she wouldn't go to sleep.
"Why you not going to sleep?" Sean asked her.
"Scwary." Tig says.
"Awh, baby! No need to be scared now. Me and Mummy are here with you and we won't let anything hurt you." Sean says.
"What was your nightmare about?" I ask her.
"A scwary man." Tig says.
I nod.
"Well that man won't be causing you nightmares anymore." I say.
She whimpers and I held her close. I continued stroking her cheek whilst Sean gently rubbed her back. Soon, she was back to sleep. The poor thing. I wonder who the man in her dream was...
