I wake up to Austin’s arm around my waist, like you would hold a teddy bear.  I close my eyes and then open them again as they adjust to the light. I look to him and he looks so peaceful and content, this right is the man I fell in love with and the man I want to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I sigh and hear Austin groan before he pulls me in closer to him. I sigh and push at his shoulder trying to get up. Oddly this brings back happy memories. I remember waking up like this when Austin came back from tour and found out I was pregnant with Aubrey. I had to pee and he would budge or let me up. I smile as the memory comes to mind. I feel Austin move slightly and then I feel his head turn into my body, “Ally?” I laugh and run my finger through his hair, “Austin, let me up sweetie.” He groans and tightens his arm, “No, stay in bed with me all day. Please.” I smile because this is my Austin; the Austin who doesn’t want to get up early and is sweet and holds me close. I run my fingers through his hair again, “Baby, let me up and I will come back to bed after checking on the kids.” He groans again but nods against my body before lifting his arm slightly. I move away and get up and head into the bathroom first.

I walk down the hallway and open Aiden’s door first. I walk in lightly and look into his crib to see him sleeping soundly and so peaceful. I smile at him before walking out and pulling the door up before walking across the hall and walking into Aubrey’s room. I see her holding her favorite doll and it bring a smile to my face. I look in her crib closer and see she is snoring softly. I smile and back out of the room and walk back into my room. I see Austin open his eyes slightly as my foot hits something and it creaks. He smiles and lifts his arm slightly. I smile and crawl back in bed and he wraps his arm around me and snuggles his head on mine and I snuggle into his chest. He sighs contently, “I miss you Ally.” I look up at him but his eyes are closed, “I didn’t go anywhere. You were always gone and you pushed me away when you were here.” He nods against my head, “I know baby. I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.” I look at him and decide I need to tell someone I need to tell him. I am about to tell him when he kisses my head, “I’m happy you and the kids are okay. I love you baby more than anything. I hate when I get in these phases. I have something I have been working on for you but first I want to just hold you and sleep.” I nod and place a kiss to his chest. “Sound good.” I lay there feeling his chest rise and fall with my head against it. I start listening to his heartbeat and eventually I fall back asleep cuddled in his arms.

I wake up to a screaming crying that jolts me up and out of bed. I didn’t realize I’d pushed Austin to the floor until I hear him whining from the floor as I rush to Aubrey’s room. I know its Aubrey because I just know it, she is my baby and a mother knows her kids cry. I run into the room and see her in the crib crying. I turn the light on and rush over and pick her up, “What’s wrong baby?” Instantly I start looking over her to see what is wrong when she puts her hand to her mouth. I move her hand slowly and I see blood coming from her lip. I feel myself go queasy. “AUSTIN!”

He comes sliding into Aubrey’s room, “What’s wrong?” Feeling slightly dizzy I point to Aubrey’s lip as she is crying in my arms. He comes over and takes her from me. “Oh princess, what happened?” He takes her away and I try to breathe. I take slow breathe until the queasiness fades away. This has never happened before but I guess seeing my baby with blood coming from her got to me. Austin comes back with a rag to Aubrey’s lip. He looks at me, “Are you okay?” I nod and take slow breathes still because its only starting to fade. He removes the rag from her lip and sighs, “Princess, I think we need to go see the doctor.” I look at him wide eyed, “D.doctor.” He nods, “Alls I think she busted her lip.” I sit down in the rocker. “Okay..”He comes over and leans down in front of me, “Are you going to be okay?” I nod, “Yeah let me get Aiden and we can go.” He shakes his head, “I got this baby, you just breathe. Maybe take a nap.” I nod and watch him take Aubrey away again. I make it to the doorway of her room when he comes down the hallway dressed in sweats and a hoodie with Aubrey on his hip and rag to her lip. He leans over and kisses my forehead, “I will call you when I get there.” I nod and kiss Aubrey, “Be good for daddy baby, everything is okay. You are okay mommy is sorry she scared you.” Aubrey shakes her head, “fine.” I nod and kiss her again before her takes her down the steps and I watch them walk out the door.

I walk across the hall and see Aiden awake just laying in his bed. I pick him up and change his diaper and hold him but quickly he starts to fall back asleep. I rock him and when he is asleep I put him back in his crib and walk to my room and get in my bed. I make sure my phone is turned up and close my eyes. I still don’t feel great. I don’t know what happened but Aubrey and I didn’t like it. I can’t get queasy with my kids.

My phone starts blaring and I pick it up, “Austin?” He laughs a little, “I’m here baby and Aubrey is fine. She needed one stitch in her lip. She is fine and is loving the attention.” I nod and breathe a sigh of relief, “That’s good. How did it happen?” He laughs, “Aubrey wanted to be a big girl and surprise us in bed and wanted to try to get out and hit her lip on the bar of her bed.” I sigh, “Really? Do we need a new crib?” He laughs again, “Baby she is fine. The doctor said he sees this a lot with two year olds. He said they try to climb out and they slip.” I nod and look at the wall of my room, “She’s fine?” I hear Aubrey laughing in the background, “ She is fine baby. Are you okay?” I nod then release he cant see me, “Yeah I’m fine. I don’t know what happened.” He laughs some, “It’s okay. We are on our way home now.” I nod, “Okay, I’m in bed so come join me when you get here.” I hear another laugh but this one has a smirk in it, I know him. “Oh, my pleasure.” I start laughing because I want to slap him. “Just get home.” “Okay, I love you baby.” “I love you too.” We hang up and I look to the clock and see it is still early.

I lay back in bed and close my eyes. I open them when I hear feet in the hallway. I see Aubrey running my way and putting her arms up for me to pick her up on the bed. She puts her lip out more than normal, “Wook.” I laugh and look, “Yeah I see. No more trying to get out of your crib okay?” she nods and leans in kissing me, “Okay mommy.” I smile and kiss her before being bounced slightly by Austin getting in the bed. “Ah my two favorite girls.” Aubrey smiles and crawls into his lap.  We lay down and Aubrey starts to yawn, “Mommy?” I look at her, “yes baby.” She looks at me, “I sweepy.” I nod and move and she shakes her head, “Mine.” I look at Austin and he shrugs. I sigh and nod, “Okay but no more trying to get out. You let me or daddy know you want out.” She nods and kisses Austin, “nwite.” I smile and pick her up taking her to her crib. I kiss her and put her in her crib. “Night baby. I love you.” She lays down and I kiss her again before turning on her night light and walking out.

I crawl back in bed and Austin wraps me in his arms again, “I meant it when I said lets curl up and not leave this bed.” I laugh and kiss him, “I know. I say let’s do it, well until the kids get up.” He laughs and nods before pulling us down. With a passionate kiss he wraps me in his arms and I fall asleep happy and feeling safe.
