A/N; Taking this pain free moment to update
So like, i really want a cookie

------------------------

Zoe's POV;

"Zoe? Zoe come on" I hear someone mumble, stroking my arm slightly "Come on Zoe, you need to wake up" I pull my eyes open, and wiggle my head against the hard flooring. I look about, and See Bradley sitting on the floor next to me, he smiles; cocking his head slightly "Are you okay? You've passed out Zozo, Do you need a drink?" 
I shake my head, just wanting to sleep. He lays his hand on my cheek, stroking down my jawline slowly. I close my eyes again, relaxing as best I can against the floor. He starts to hum a little tune under his breath, his thumb stroking my face as it dances to the tune. It wasn't long before I feel him shifting about; and then scooping me up and placing me on the sofa. He props a pillow under my head, and tucks his jacket around me. I smile slightly, while my had strokes one of the buttons on his coat. I hear him shuffle out of the room, and closing the door slightly. And then, i  drift into a dreamless sleep.

Brad's POV;

I pull out a chair in the kitchen, letting my head flop against the table. I was glad Zoe was asleep, she needed it...But I just wanted to sit and hold her. I wanted her to cry; and I wanted to cry..I wanted to cuddle and sit, I needed to; if truth be told.
But atleast Zoe was having some peace right now; she truly needed it. 

I hear the door creak open behind me, and I sigh; hoping it isn't Zoe. I wanted her to rest.
"Brad?" I hear my sister mumble; her voice still sleepy and croaked from crying. Of course this would effect her; they're her nieces and nephew. 
I turn and face her and smile, I open my arms; letting her have a hug. She quickly wraps her arms around me; resting her head against mine. I rub her back, soothing her. "You alright?" I mumble into her ear, I feel her nod. 
"Brad, you need to sleep" She says, pulling away and looking at me. I shake my head, I need to look after everyone else, before myself. "Yes you do. I'm older Brad; what I say goes...or do i need to get Mum?" I roll my eyes, she knows exactly what to say to me make feel alright. I kiss her head softly, and walk away; otherwise she'd shove me up there. 

I pull off my shirt and jeans, and relax into the bed, cuddling the duvet. I glance at Zoe's side of the bed, a small brown teddy lay on her pillow. I swear she's still five years old. Her bedside table was an 'organized mess', her lamp sat at the edge, and an empty photo frame sat next to it. Her phone charger was hanging off the edge and memory cards and books sat in small piles. I close my eyes, my head sinking into the pillow.

//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.

I'm awoken by the sound of a screaming baby, cleary he was hungry; or had wee'd...or both. I swing my legs out of bed, and shove a pair of joggers back on. 
I push open the door to Thomas and Scarlett's room, I see Zoe cuddling the screaming baby, she's bouncing her legs up and down; rocking Thomas. I glance at Cleo's cot, the closest to the door. A few teddies were strewn in there, along with her blanket. Zoe sighed, trying to hold a bottle to Thomas' lips, but he wasn't having any of it.
"Zoe, Do you want me to try?" I ask, and watch as she spins around. Her eyes reveal all, the pain and upset she feels. She nods, passing him to me. I lay his body against my bare chest, and start to pull his baby grow off his small body. Zoe looks at me confused, but this is Daddy instinct. I leave his nappy on, I wasn't risking being wee'd on. I lay him against me again, his skind cold. He instantly relaxes, his hands in half fists against my chest. Zoe smiles, and stands next to me; and holds his hand against hers. I kiss her head, and let her drift out of the door, probably to check on Ellie. I wiggle Thomas about, and push the bottle into his mouth. 

I place the almost empty bottle on the dressing table, and rock Thomas from side to side, and watch him drift off. I pull the curtains slightly, and look out the window. It was clearly late, probably evening. Pulling the curtains closed again, I lay Thomas in his cot, and dress him in another babygrow. I tuck him up into a blanket, and leave him to sleep. 

I walk down the hall, and glance into Ellie's bedroom. Her room glowed pink; a great contrast to the pale yellow of the triplets..well twins room. Zoe was sat on the floor, holding a plate of fake food, while Ellie was stood at her small play kitchen. 
" 'ey Ellie, can I have some food?" She snaps her head to the door, then nods. I walk in, and sit down next to Zoe; who smiles at me. We watch as Ellie throws her plastic food about, and then walks over to me, dodging the numerous toys she'd left littering the floor. She hands me a small yellow plate, a few random foods lying on it. "Ahh wow thank you, It looks amazing princess" She grins and flops down onto the floor infront of us. I place the plate down, and pull Ellie onto my lap, tickling her and blowing raspberries onto her tummy. 
Zoe watches, a small smile etched onto her face, while Ellie squeals in glee. Ellie eventually manages to get up and runs away from me still laughing. I stand up "Oh the games on" I laugh, chasing after her, following her small laughs around the house. 

//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.//.

We were sat in the living room, Natalie and Zoe on one sofa, nattering about some TV show. Me and Ellie were snuggled onto the other, watching postman Pat. Although it may seem as though we were ignoring Cleo's death, we wern't. We needed to keep everything as normal as possible for Ellie, and this was how.

our family might be changing, but I won't let that ruin anything for my babies.
