Day 17: Spooning

Knock, knock, knock. Dan's eyes opened slowly as his bedroom door opened. He heard a few little sniffs and sat upright in his bed.

"Papa?" Louisa said.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Dan replied.

"I had a nightmare and it was scary."

Dan attempted to climb over Phil to get out of bed, but ended up nearly falling on top of him. Louisa giggled a little bit.

"Okay, so tell me about this nightmare." Dan said when he finally managed to get to Louisa.

"Well, there was a man with a gun and he came to our house and he stole you and Daddy and I was alone and I thought you were dead."

Dan hugged Louisa tightly and kissed her on the forehead. Phil stretched out his arms as Dan picked her up.

"Do you want to sleep in our bed?"

Louisa nodded, already reaching over to Phil. "I'm glad you're not dead, I love you."

The three Lester-Howells slept in order of shortest to tallest, Phil holding Louisa close and Dan with his arm draped over both of them.
