The next morning I was woken up when I heard the bedroom door open followed by the sound of footsteps inching closer to the bed. A smile crept across my face when tiny hands wrapped around my forearm and began to shake it lightly.

"Mommy". Tyler whispered pushing my arm. "Mommy wake up...". He giggled

Tyler giggled when he saw the smile on his mother's face. My eyes fluttered open with delight as I spotted Tyler standing beside the bed holding onto his teddy bear as he waited patiently for me to get up.

"Good morning baby boy". I grinned, pinching his little cheek making him laugh.

"Morning mommy". He said bouncing on his toes while I lugged myself out of bed.

"Do you want some breakfast baby boy?" I asked.

"Yes please mommy I'm hungry". Tyler said sweetly making me smile.

"Ok sweetie, go and get dressed and we'll go downstairs for some breakfast". I smiled as he nodded before bouncing out of my room.

Quickly changing into some skinny jeans and a tank top, I brushed my hair before tying it up into a high ponytail. Leaving my room I walked in to see Tyler dressed without his shoes.

"Ok sweetie sit down and I'll put on your shoes". I smiled as he nodded.

When he sat down I put on his converse before tying the laces. When we were ready I picked him up gently. Picking up my phone and room key card, I made sure that Tyler was safely on my hip as we made our way down to the lobby to meet Bradley.

Once the elevator doors opened we walked out and I set Tyler down on the floor. Tyler and I walked hand in hand as I started searching for Bradley. Instead of finding my brother we found Jeff.

"Uncle Jeff." Tyler squeaked as he darted to the youngest Hardy boy who was already smiling.

"Morning my little creature" Jeff chuckled as he leaned down to scoop him up into a hug. "How you doing this morning little man?" He grinned carrying Tyler in his arms.

Jeff was a natural with kids. Especially when he had his own daughter back at home who he adored. The simple fact was Jeff adored kids and kids adored him.
"Good...and a little hungry". He giggled glancing over at me while I was making funny faces behind Jeff.

"You heard him Lex, let's get him food". Jeff smiled while I rolled my eyes.

While Jeff and Ty went to sit down I went to get him some food. I was still thinking about my conversation with AJ. I had made my decision and hopefully it was the right one. Picking up his bowl of cereal I walked over and placed it in front of him while she was laughing at something that Jeff had told him.

"Your the bestest Uncle Jeff". Tyler beamed.

"Ok what did you promise him this time Jeff?". I asked raising an eyebrow at the leader of the creatures of the night.

"I may have promised him one of my new shirts". Jeff smiled.

Rolling my eyes I couldn't help but chuckle. Looking up I noticed AJ and James Storm walking through the doorway.

"Look mommy...its Uncle AJ and Uncle James". Tyler said excitedly.

"I know sweetheart. I'm sure they'll come over soon". I smiled stroking his keep with my thumb.
