Prologue: His Little Family

He stuck the metal key into the keyhole, turning the latched with a click, he turned the handle. Pushing open the door, he made his way through the doorway entering inside the dark entry hallway. Tossing his things down on to the center console table he turned and locked the door behind him. Making his way down the long gallery hallway, he passed living room and formal dining room, before he entered the kitchen. With a flick of his finger, the lights turned on, bright can lights strategically placed around the kitchen lit up.

His eyes glazed around the silent room, before his eyes landed on the white note taped against the stainless steel refrigerator door.

Babe,

There is some leftover in the fridge, just heat it up in the microwave for two minutes. Can you please unload the dishwasher when you are done. Remember we need to go to Dr. Carlton's tomorrow at noon. And we need to drop off Cody and Ryan off at Em and Joe's before we leave.

xo M

p.s. I already fed Muffin's.

Tugging open the steel door, his eye landed on the plate covered food, the cling wrap covering the New York strip of steak and some roasted potatoes and vegetables. Grinning to himself, he grabbed the plate out of the microwave, closing the refrigerator door behind him and placed the plate into the microwave. Pressing 2 minutes, he waited as the food reheated. His eyes fell to the counter, where the pile of mail was neatly stacked. Flipping through them quickly, he placed them down just as the food finished heating. The wonderful aroma of his favorite meal, filled the air. With careful hands, he handled the plate with caution, bringing it over to the center island and set it down. He maneuvered around the room, digging through the drawers for a fork, and grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge before he pulled out the stool set next to the island.

He finished his late dinner quickly, just before the clock struck midnight. With fast hands he unloaded the dishwasher placing the plates and utensils back into their spot in the kitchen. Checking around the empty kitchen, he pushed in his stool before he made his way over to the light switch flicking it off, before he enabled the alarm, taking the back way up the stairs. Reaching the second story landing, he slowly headed down the narrow hallway, until he reached the cherry oak door on the right. A small crack allowed the faint glow of light to filter through the room, as he pushed the door open.

Padding across the hardwood floor quietly, he made his way into the room. The faint glow of the bedside lamp lit the room, with a dim amount a light before the bed came into view. Immediately his eyes landed onto the three figures fast asleep on the bed, sheets rumples along with the covers tangled in legs. His heart swelled.

There laid the love of his life, her long flowing curls, sprawled across the down pillow, her eyes closed. He could see faint movement of her eyes fluttering, as she was lost to another world of infinite possibilities. Her long tone arms, splayed across the down comforter, a single hand placed across her protruding stomach. Beside her two matching heads of chocolate brown curls, both little boys were fast asleep next to their mothers, thumbs resting in their mouths as they slept the night away. The light of his life, his pride and joy.

There fast asleep in the king size bed of his New York townhouse, was his little family, that he could call his own. Grinning, he quickly allowed his clothes to disperse around the room, leaving him only in his boxer, he walked around to the edge of the bed. Scooting into the bed beside his son, he shut off the lights, as he laid his head back against the down pillow. He could hear the sound of their soft hollow breath, with each breath they took. He lost himself in the sound that soothe him into a dream state. There he followed his little family, into another land, and dreamt the night away.
