Not Again
Nick smiled softly as he woke up and saw Jackie sleeping peacefully next to him. He got out of bed slowly, trying to be quiet so he wouldn't wake her.
He tiptoed out of the room and went downstairs so he could read the paper and drink some coffee before anyone got up.
He made coffee and then went and got the newspaper from outside, he then sat down at the kitchen table so he could read it.
He started reading an article about a high profile murder in Henderson and then realized the coffee was done so he got up and poured himself some before he sat back down and started reading the article.
About ten minutes later Houston toddled down the stairs.
"Hi dada." The little boy said sounding still half asleep.
"Good morning little buddy." Nick told him with a smile.
Houston walked over to Nick and crawled up on his lap.
"Do you want daddy to make you some breakfast?"
"No."
"No, are you not hungry yet?" Nick asked with a smile as Houston yawned.
"No. Tire." Houston told him as he laid his head back against Nick's chest.
"You're tired, do you want to go back to bed for a bit?"
"No." Houston said as he shook his head.
"Do you want daddy to pour you some orange juice?"
"Yeah." Houston told him.
"Ok." Nick said as he gently set Houston down on the floor before getting up and getting into the refrigerator.
He poured Houston a glass of orange juice and then carried it over to the table. He set the juice down and then picked Houston back up so he could again sit on his lap.
Houston sat contently on Nick's lap drinking his orange juice for about ten minutes before he got off of Nick's lap and wandered into the living room.
A few minutes later Nick got up to check on Houston, the little boy was busily playing with one of his toy cars so Nick got back to reading the paper.
About five minutes later Nick was just finishing his coffee when he heard Jackie yell "Nicky, come up here, hurry."
"Oh my god not again." Nick thought as he raced up the stairs.
