LATER THAT NIGHT
CALLIE'S POV
We've just finished dinner and the kids are watching cartoons in the lounge. Lincoln is in bed and me and Brandon are talking in the kitchen.
"So do you think pop will sleep better tonight?" b asks
"I mean I hope so. I just want to know what's going on with her" I reply handing him a dish to dry.
"At least we got linc down" he jokes
"Brandon this isn't funny. She hasn't had trouble sleeping since she was little""Cal. I just think your overthinking this and it could have been just a one night thing"
"Yeah I guess so....."
"Callie promise me you won't be thinking about this until bed time" he says with his hands on both of my shoulder.
"I promise" I mock while handing him the last plate then walking out and into the lounge where the kids are all laying around.
HALLIE'S POV
Im sitting in the lounge with the others while texting Matt about today. He keeps apologizing but it wasnt actually his fault.
Text-
Matt: Im really sorry Hal, I didnt mean to start a fight or get you in trouble
Hallie: Seriously Matt it isnt your fault. If anyone its Josh's and besides I didnt even get into trouble at home
Matt: Good :) I hope you had a good rest of your day
Hallie: Yeah I did, thanks :) Your really sweet
Matt: Hal I really like you
Shit what do I say. I told Josh I dont want a boyfriend but I mean Matt is really sweet and has been there for me over the past few days. My thoughts get interrupted when my mum sits next to me.
"Hey Hal"
"Um hi...."
"Can you do me a favour?"
"What?"
She then whispers "Poppy wasnt sleeping last night and I need you to find out if anything is wrong. She wont tell me and your dad thinks its nothing but I just need to be sure. Can you talk to her?"
I giggle "Yeah I got it" I put my phone in my back pocket and walk over to Poppy.
"Hey baby girl wanna help me with something in my room?" I ask and she gets excited jumping straight up. She loves it when she gets to do stuff with me. We get to my room and I sit on my bed tackling her down next to me making her burst out with laughter.
"aahhh Hallie" she screams and I stop finally letting her breath.
"What do you need my help with?" She asks curiously.
"Well I have an assignment where I have to ask someone questions and right down there answers to compare. You think you can help with that?" I ask
"Yeah"
"Alright" I grab a pen and paper and sit infront of her with my legs crossed and she mimics my position.
"Ok question 1. What is your current fear?"
"That Im forgotten"
"Forgotten how?"
"Cause theres gonna be 7 of us so I might be forgotten"
"Ok question 2. Whats one thing that can make you not sleep?"
"Waking up with nobody here"
I give a confused look "Why would nobody be here Pop? We live here"
