I woke up with the blinding ray of sunlight shining on my face. I opened my eyes, adjusting them to the light. I yawned and turned to the side where my husband was sleeping heavily. I smiled, leaving trails of kisses on his cheeks. His eyes suddenly flutters open, his green-ish eyes sparkling in the sunlight.
“Well good morning to you too, love.” he said, his voice hoarse and husky. I giggled, pecking his lips.
“Good morning, Pat.” I smile. He flicks my nose lightly and sat up, stretching his arms and yawning. I did the same, hopping off the bed.
“I'm going to check on Declan if he's awake or not.” I say to him. He nods his head, rubbing his eyes.
“I'll make breakfast.” he replied.
I walked to my son's room, opening it slightly where he was currently sitting on his bed and playing with his toys.
When I opened the door fully, his gaze met mine and suddenly I was knocked off the ground with my son on top of me.
“Good morning, mommy.” he giggles. I grinned at him, ruffling his blonde hair.
“Morning, bud.” I said. I stood up, carrying Declan in my hips. We both walk down stairs where Patrick was currently standing. He was humming a song that I couldn't quite recognise, flipping some pancakes.
“Daddy!” Declan says and runs up to his dad and hugs his leg. Patrick laughs and hoisted him up, kissing his forehead.
“You want to eat pancakes with your favourite dad?” he grins to him. Declan nods his head vigorously and sat on his chair, a big smile on his face.
I leaned my shoulder on the wall, looking at them both chatting and laughing. Everything was perfect. I have a loving husband, a son, and a house full of memories. And it was full bliss.
Before I knew it, a tear fell down my cheek catching Patrick's attention. He quickly stood up and ran up to me, hugging me tightly.
“Why are you crying, my love?” he asked. I shook my head, burying my head in the crook of his neck. I feel Declan hugging my leg, grabbing my hand making me look down at him.
“Are those sad tears mommy?” he asks cutely. I shook my head.
“Their not sad tears. Their happy tears. Mommy is just really happy to have you both in her life.” I smile through the tears. I hoisted him up and kissed his forehead.
“Mommy loves you very much.” I say to him. Patrick looks at me, a smile on his perfect face.
“And Daddy loves you both with all of his heart also.” he kissed my cheek. Me and Declan laugh, Patrick giving us both a huge bear hug.
Everything was just perfect.
