Tug of War

Jackie was awoken in the middle of the night by a low growling noise. At first she was alarmed but as she listened closer she heard giggling noises.

She got out of bed and made her way down the stairs to investigate what was going on.

In the dark living room she found Sloan and Skittles engaging in a game of tug of war over one of Skittles toys.

Skittles was growling softly but not in aggression, she was just playing with the little boy.

Her tail was going a million miles an hour and Sloan was giggling hysterically.

Jackie stood there and watched them for a couple minutes.

"Sloan, what are you doing little buddy?" She asked.

Sloan was so startled that he dropped the toy.

"Me payin with Skittles mama." Jackie smiled at him.

"I know sweetheart, but you have to go to sleep now." She told him.

"But me no tire, and it fun." He protested.

"I know it's fun bud but it's late, and you'll wake everyone else up. You can play with Skittles tomorrow, I'll even let Skittles sleep with you."

They both looked at Skittles who was prancing proudly around with the toy in her mouth as if to say haha human brother, I won.

"Come on Skittles, you get to sleep with me." Sloan said happily.

Jackie took Skittles toy and placed it on the floor and then all three of them headed up the stairs and into Sloan's room.

Skittles hopped up onto the bed as if she owned the place.

"Night, night Skittles." Sloan said once he was tucked back into bed.

"Night, night Mama."

"Goodnight sweetheart, I love you." She replied as she leaned over to give him a kiss.

"Night, Night Noah. (Nora)" He said as he gave her tummy a gentle pat.

Jackie smiled at him.

Jackie then went back to bed herself, she was exhausted and so within moments she fell back asleep.

The End!
