Christian's pov: Ana had put theo to bed not long ago and because we left a baby monitor in there i could hear her reading to him in a soft voice, he must have fallen asleep because i hear her give him a gently kiss saying goodnight before leaving theroom and coming down to my office where taylor and i have been talking for some time now. He's just heard from our security advisor that Jack hyde has been released from prison after what he did to Ana and my baby sister mia 7 years ago.

Ana moves onto my lap and curls up with her head resting in what used to me my no go spot; my heart. She nuzzles against it and settles there until i feel her breathing even out, i look at taylor and he does a sleeping motion causing me to nod before standing making sure not to wake her before heading up to our room. She makes a noise of complain once shes in bed but she snuggles into my pillow and falls into a deep sleep. I could honestly watch my wife sleep forever but theres more important matters to attend to now.

Once ive made sure that security at my parents home has been seen to i begin to wind down for the day, taylor and gail have retreated into their room, ana is sleeping as is my little boy so i shut off the lights but as i go into the great room a shrill scream startles me. Its not ana her night terrors stopped years ago! Theres another scream and it sounds earily familiar, shit theo! I take the steps two at a time and rush into him but what i see breaks my heart.

Hes tossing and turning protecting his little face as he sobs and shrieks "no please!", "mommy help!" "Mommy wake up pwease!" I sit on his bed not knowing how to wake him. I never had this help when i was this small because grace wasnt able to touch me it was my own screams that woke me, i gently shake his sholder but he screams more shit should i get ana? No you can do this christian.

I shake him like ana had done to me before "theo! Theodore your ok wake up!" I remeber both grace and ana telling me this and after a couple of seconds i see his eyes open as i switch the bed side light on so he can see where he is. I hear him wimper and curl up more "your safe baby bear daddys here" i coo softly knowing that he needs to hear a reassuring voice. Hell grace talking to me was enough to calm me night after night, i watch as he slowly meets my gaze and a small smile fights its way onto his lips.

He sits up startling me as i wasn't expecting him to do anything but go back to some sort of sleep, but im surprised when his arms wrap around me and his head rests on my stomach and i almost start to sob. Yes my ana can touch me here but ive never let any one else do so up until now and it's the person who has the same touch phobia i do! He is still looking up at me as my arm wraps around his small shoulder, i watch as he snuggles in and falls asleep again so i lay him down before laying beside him. This little boy just put his total trust in me and somehow felt safe in my embrace.
