Sophia Kings POV

"Baby!!" I say excitedly as Jake runs into my arms.

"Mommy" he says as he gives my cheek a peck.

"Awe. What was that for?" I asked.
He shrugs as I run my hand through his neatly cut curly hair.

"We're still going to grandma and grandpa right?" He asks rocking back and forth on his heels and I nod, my hair coming over to my face as I tucked it behind my ear.

"Of course. Where's Jaxon?" I asked.

"I'm here" Jaxon says as I looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Hi baby" I say pulling him into a hug.

"Maaaa" he whines as he hugs me back embarrassed. Burying his face in my neck as I feel soft tears on my skin.

"Hey,hey, what's wrong?" I asked him patting his back softly.

"Mommy,is something wrong with me?" He asks and I shake my head breaking the hug.

"No of course not. Why, is everything OK?" I asked as he nodded then shook his head when I give him a pointed look.

"No......OK,yes. Something's wrong. I went to see Ms Nancy, the school nurse,and she says, I need to sleep a lot" I peck his cheek.

"And what's the problem with sleeping?" I asked.

"N-nothing. Its just.....whenever I sleep I get nightmares. I don't want nightmares mommy" he says as I peck his head.

"Its gonna be OK Jaxon. I promise. We're all sleeping in mommy's room tonight OK?" I told him as he nods.

"Sophie?can we have a minute? Please?..." Jeff.....I mean,Mr Larson says and I nod kissing both boys on the top of their heads as they both get in the car.

"Are you OK?" He asks me and I nod.

"Yeah....I just. I'm sorry,I had a melt down through the phone. It was completely unprofessional of me to just start pouring out my feelings through the phone. I'm really sorry" I said as he stuffed his hand in his pockets.

"Its fine, I didn't mind . I....I can't say I understand where you're coming from cause I don't have kids of my own, but I'm always here if you need to talk" he says almost nervously.

"Thank you Jeff. I mean,Mr Larson" I said as he gives me a smile.

"Its fine Sophie. Jeff is fine with me" he says and I check my wristwatch.

"I'm just gonna go. The kids and I are visiting their grandparents and I have to get home to make  something to take" he waves off his hand at me.

"Tsk, its fine. But I.....you know what?enjoy your dinner" he says and I thank him again before I get in the car and drive off.
