JENNIFER'S POV
New York
"Run," I tell myself, "Run."
The wolf creature tears through the forest after me.
"Run, run, don't look back, run."
I hear what sounds like a baby in the distance. The shrieks fill the air around me, only making me run faster. Suddenly I am in a clearing.
I see a brown woven basket sitting on a large rock. I run to it with all the strength and speed I can muster. I peer inside once I get to the basket and see a baby with flaming red hair. I somehow recognize it.
"A-, Ash-, Ashley," I mumble. It seems so familiar and yet wrong at the same time.
I reach on the basket, trying snatch the baby, but before I can run something grabs me.
I feel coldness envelope me. My eyes open wide with start. I see Sam lying next to me with his arms on my shoulders. I sigh.
"It happened again didn't it?" I ask.
He nods. Pushes my hair out of my face. I smile faintly.
"Thank you for waking me up," I tell him, "What time is it?"
"6:25 a.m.," he says, "We have thirty-five minutes before we need to get up, do you want to talk about it?"
"No," I whisper.
He pulls me close to his chest and kisses me on the top of the head. I put my arms around him and snuggle closer, seeking warmth and comfort.
"No kids or bosses or work, just you and me." He says, "What do you think?"
"I like the sound of it, just us all alone," I tell him, "But I've been thinking about something recently."
"What?" he asks.
"Well, Henry is seven, Annicka is five and Lewis is two, almost three now and I'm getting older. So I was thinking maybe since it's pretty much now or never it would be a good time to have another baby."
"Yeah," he says, "Recently, I've been thinking the same thing. So…. Yes I think we should."
"Really!" I exclaim, "Oh, honey, thank you soooo much."
I kiss him the lips. He then rolls us over so that he is on top of me. We continue kissing until we can't anymore. Sam rolls us back over, and I lay on his chest. We just stay in the bed silently, until the alarm clock goes off.
I groan, wishing that we had more time. But knowing that i have to get ready for work, I quickly hug him and get out of bed. Nothing could make me feel better right now than the though of another baby. I put on a white blouse and black pencil skirt. Just as I bend over to pick up my favorite red high heels I notice he is still laying in bed.
"Are you going to get up?" I ask.
"Yeah, I was just thinking," He says.
"Oh, okay," I say as I go to the bed and give him another kiss.
I back away and start to leave and go get the kids up. Just as I am about to open the door to Lewis's room I hear him call my name.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Tonight," He calls, "Tonight."
I smile and open the door. I see that Lewis is already awake and waiting for me.
"Hi honey," I coo, picking him up.
Lewis giggles, and I kiss him on the forehead. I then walk him over to his changing table to get him out of his pajamas and into his play clothes.
Once we finish, I take him downstairs, to the kitchen, Henry and Annicka are already waiting.
"Mommy!" Annicka exclaims, running up to me and hugging me around my legs.
"Good morning sweetie," I say.
Annicka lets go of me and goes to sit at the table. I set Lewis down and he goes to sit next to her. I look over at Henry, who hasn't said a single word to me.
"Is everything okay?" I ask him.
""Yeah," he says, sleepily," I'm just hungry."
"Oh," I laugh,' I'll make you breakfast if you want."
"NO!" Henry and Annicka cry at the same time.
I look at them in shock. Just then Sam walks in. He walks over to me and kisses me on the cheek.
"I promised the kids that I would make them breakfast this morning," he tells me.
"Yeah," I grumble," I'm sure you did. Because nobody in this family likes my cooking."
So there is chapter 6. Please, Please, Please tell me what you think. Oh, also please tell me if you think I should keep Lila as a character of have her be gone.
Anyway, I love you all so much,
