Constant distractions

I get to the phone

"Hello?"

"Hi hunny its mum, how are you?" I sigh…

"Hello mum, I'm ok, trying to get a lie in but no such luck yet. How are you?"

I walk into the kitchen and put the kettle on…

"I'm ok, you sound tired?" I try not to laugh, I couldn't tell mum why I was tired…. I could imagine it 'yes mum I am tired I've been up all night making love and the William woke for a feed at 6' no I couldn't say that without a million questions

"Yes I didn't sleep too well and when I got off William woke for a feed but its ok" I'm surprised that I said it without laughing

"You know I can have William sometime so you can get some sleep. Neway I was wondering if you want me to get anything for tomorrow? Who's coming again? I forget" I walked back over to the bedroom while the kettle boils… from the duvet a head appears smiling…

"Yes I know thanks mum, tomorrow it's you, me, Doggett, skinner and Monica… oww and of course little man. What were you thinking of getting? And mum it's like 9 in the morning"

The smiling face mouths who it is…. I mouth back mum… sudden movement from the duvet and suddenly it's just a lump again no one in it…. Just a pair of feet….

"I always go shopping on Wednesdays Dana, I was thinking wine or deserts but I couldn't remember how many of us there would be. Is it ok if I get wine and beers in?" I tiggle the feet while mum talks, a head re appears trying not to shout… I laugh…

"Dana are you still there?" I walk out of the room

"Sorry mum, yes wine and beer is fine, I think Monica's making a desert for us" the kettles clicks off…

"Ok Dana I'll let you go and I will see you tomorrow, bye"

"Yes bye mum"

I hang up…..

"Your safe now" I laugh and make 2 cups of coffee… I carefully carry them into the bedroom…

"Here you go hun" I say as I hand over a coffee..

"Thanks hun, what did mum want?"

"she's off shopping and wanted to know what to bring tomorrow and she offered to have William for me… more nights together for us" I give a cheeky smile…. Which is returned…

"But I love having little man around, he's no trouble… I love him so much" I smile I love that everyone around loves us both….

"And he loves you just as much as I do" Just as I lean in for a kiss….. I stop,

"Williams crying, I'd better go see to him"
