Sapphire ran into her big brother's room, and ducked under the covers. Her brother woke at the feel of a quivering body next to him.
"What's the matter, Sapphire?" A young Akoya asked groggily.
"I had the dream again," Sapphire answered looking up from beneath the covers. "I don't want the monster to get me."
Akoya smiled slightly. "I won't let the monster get you, sis. The monster will have to go through me to get you."
Sapphire smiled. "I love you, big brother."
"I love you too." Akoya wrapped his arm around his sister. To protect her from any evil thing that might come to snatch her away.
Parents POV (3rd POV)
"Aren't they cute? Our two little angels," their mother whispered as her and her husband looked on at their precious, sleeping children. "I have a feeling Sapphire will be sharing a room with her big brother from now on."
Their father chuckled. "They are. Our daughter got her stubborn side from you and that makes her even more adorable."
Akoya and Sapphire's mother looked at him with a cute, confused look.
He only smiled. "I hope our baby angel stops having this nightmare altogether. I'm worried about her. Every night is the same. Her brother never showed any signs of having nightmares. I don't get it."
Morning
Sapphire and Akoya bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Did our little angels sleep well last night?" Their mother asked them.
They nodded.
Sapphire grabbed her brother's hand and squeezed. She smiled. "Love you, big brother," Sapphire whispered.
"Love you too, sis."
Their parents giggled.
"Our precious babies. Sapphire, why don't you and Akoya get washed up after breakfast. We something special for you, Sapphire."
Sapphire's face light up. "Really? Let's hurry big brother." Sapphire attacked her brother.
Akoya hugged his sister tight. "Happy early 6th birthday sis."
Their parents watched the scene unfold in front of them.
The pinkettes finished breakfast and rushed to get ready for the fun filled day ahead.
