"Cool Kids"

Chapter 4 "Sleep Deprived"

                                                                         *Kenzie's P.O.V*

It's been a few weeks since Nat and I brought the babies home. Since being home, his parents and Alex have been coming over to help out, which has been really great. It gives Nat and I to rest a little bit every now and then. Or, at least Nat sleeps. I can't. I don't want to point fingers or anything, but I'm a very light sleeper and Nat is aware of it, but I don't think he takes it seriously. He keeps me awake all night and I can't do anything about it. Hell, even Alex will complain about it.

As I was feeding Jason at around two in the morning, I couldn't help but doze off a little. I wasn't completely out. I only had my eyes closed for a minute or so until Jason was finished. I went ahead and burped him and rocked him to sleep. Since I was facing away from the door in the nursery, I was startled a little by Nat coming from behind me.

"Hey..," Nat whispers, sleepily.

I put my finger on his lips. "He's almost asleep."

Nat nodded and kissed Jason's forehead.

Once Jason was sound asleep, Nat was kind enough to wait for me and we went back into our bedroom. We both got into bed and Nat brought me in closer to him and we snuggled. 

I glanced up at him and smile a little. "You're so soft and cuddly..,"

Nat smiles at me and ran his long fingers through my hair. "Thank you, baby..,"

I nodded and yawned.

"We should get some sleep before the babies wake up again," Nat said.

"And by we, you mean you?" I asked.

Nat raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

I shook my head and sighed a little. "Babe, I'm a light sleeper and you know it."

Nat nodded. "And?"

"You snore so loud and it's annoying," I told him. "But at the same time, it's cute and I don't want to be that bitch and wake you up because of it every time."

"I didn't even know that I snored," Nat says as he ran his fingers through his messy hair and yawned. "I'm sorry, babe..,"

I shrugged. "It's fine,-"

Nat cut me off. "No, it's not..," He said. "If it's a problem, then I should do something about it."

I looked up at him, confused. "Honey, you really don't have to do that."

"I want to," Nat says, sleepily. "First thing tomorrow, I'll see what I can do. You sleep for now."

"You're not sleeping?" I asked him.

Nat shook his head. "I'm on baby watch."

I turned off the lamp on my dresser and continued to cuddle with Nat. Since I had been up for a little while, I had some trouble getting back to sleep. I glanced up at Nat to see if he was still awake. 

"I can't sleep," I sighed.

Nat yawned again. "Is there anything I could do to help?"

I shrugged. "it's pretty late," I told him. "You're fine."

He shakes his head. "Nonsense..," 

I raised an eyebrow at him. Before I knew it, Nat began to sing "When I Fall In Love" by Nat King Cole softly to me. Hearing him sing sleepily made my heart flutter and scatter everywhere, it was so hot. Although, it wasn't long until his singing turned into snoring.
