My eyes flickered open as I heard moving about "Conor?""Shit. Sorry" he said
I reached up to flick on the lamp seeing him getting ready "go back to sleep. It's like five am" he said
"I will once you leave" I say "I'm excited to watch your show finally"
"Makes me even more nervous" he said sliding his shoes on
"You'll be perfect baby" I say "you're perfect"
"Well if I make a mistake it's your fault" he said making him chuckle
"Okay" I nod laughing "I'm so proud of you though" I say
"I know baby" he smiled
"You don't though. My heart could honestly bursts because of it" I say reaching out to grab his hand
"don't let that happen. I kind of want you around"
"kind of? " I laugh
"I love you" he smiled leaning over to kiss me
"I love you too" I grin wrapping both my arms around him "have fun" I smile kissing him again
"I'll text you in a bit" he said before leaving the room.
Once I heard the front door shut I pulled on joggers and a hoodie before getting up and going to check on the kids
When I went into Caleb and bella's room I noticed she was awake "you okay love?" I ask
"Yeah" she whispered
"Why are you up?"
"Don't know" she said sitting up
"What's up?" I ask
"Just thinking" she shrugged
"Wanna come through to my room?" I ask. She nodded before getting up and following me through.
We got into bed and she cuddled into me "what's up Bell?" I ask
"Nothing bad. But, am I Normal?"
"What do you mean?" I frown
"Like I don't even know. Just for a girl am I normal?"
"No girl is normal Bella" I say
"But like, I like boy things. I see Tatum getting all dressed up and I just feel like I should do that. I'm not supposed to be into football. Wearing boys shorts and joggers all the time. That's not what a girl does" she said
"Bella, girls don't have to be all dolled up, with makeup and pretty clothes. You be who you want to be. A girl can be anything you want it to. It's however you see yourself" I say
"I know but is it wrong?"
"Not at all. as long as your happy it doesn't matter" I say "why are you thinking about?"
