Half past two at midnight, that was what the time says when they all left the hospital. It was an exhausting long day, having to stay awake till such a time in order to welcome the baby into the family and Nina for the gift and smile she brought on their faces.

Julius drove the car gently, it was really quite and super cool and he was real tired. His eyes dart towards the woman sleeping silently beside him, exhaustion was written all over her face, her hands feebly holding her clutch purse.

She and Julia were able to make it on time to the hospital, with the labour bag even before the operation began. Julia had cooed at how bold and fearless she was when driving at past ten in the night when they were talking after Jr's birth.

His eyes travelled to her face. The first thing he noticed was the small opening of her mouth as she sleeps, a soft snore escaping from her. Mira's head laid on the chair rest, her hair splayed above her. She adjusted in the seat, her eyes opening a bit, Julius thought she would see him looking at her, but no, Mira only opened her eyes to close them back, oblivious to him watching her.

She murmured something in her sleep, snuggled into the chair, then used her hand to brush up the side of her hair. A small smile graced her lips, Julius wonders what could be the reason for the smile.

Really? He thought, then drove into the mansion. Maneuvering the car to a halt in the garage, he tries to wake her up but it was all in vain. She rather snuggled further into the chair and when he called her name, she answered with a sleepy hum and nothing more.

He let out a breath of air in the most unhappy manner on seeing he can't wake her up. He got out of the car.

Loosening two of his shirt buttons, he muttered. "For goodness sake, we only just spent twenty minutes on the way back here. How could you sleep?"

Opening her door, he tries waking her up again, he will keep failing because Mira is so deep into her sleep and nothing separates her from it. Putting his arms in his pocket, he watched her sleep.

Goddammit Julius, freaking carry her inside. Don't be a sleaze.

His brain yelled at him but he didn't listen, instead, he stands there in the cold and keep staring at her. Even when she rubs her exposed arms with her hand to keep herself warm.

Julius, not everyone can endure the cold. The night breeze is hitting her. Don't be like that.

His brain once again yelled at him. He bit his tongue, closed his eyes and wished his brain was visible to him, he could have just punched it right now.

"Seriously," he let out. Sucking up his pride, he went closer to carry her out of the car and took her fallen purse.

Closing the door, he balance her in his arms and the next thing Mira did was to snuggle into him. The wall holding her in and embracing her was very warm and cozy with a faint mint scent and a manly cologne. It even beats.

What a beautiful dream today, she thought. Nothing lures one to sleep more than this.

Her head lay comfy in his chest, one of her hands rest on his shoulder, the other on his chest. He groan and put in the password, then entered. He flicks on the light and head for the stairs.

He cast his head down to look at her face and he will only keep seeing how simply beautiful this woman is. Ever since they engaged, he has been looking for something that looks outrageously sophisticated or complicated about her, but has found none.
