Hi all! I think this will be my final update for the day. I have to work tomorrow and am pretty tired. I hope that you have enjoyed these updates. Hopefully I can keep the inspiration through this week and update again soon, this upcoming weekend perhaps. Happy reading! – Sevy14

We had made it through the second film. Even though I loved these films, I felt my body start to droop from tiredness. As the movie had neared its completion I looked at Victor and Jimmy, neither seemed to be tired. Which amazed me after the work they had done in the yard earlier today. Henry too was calming. No longer reacting to the bear or any of the toys. I had moved him from his propped position on my lap. Relocating the pillow to my side I had slid down somewhat on the couch, letting my feet rest upon the coffee table next to Victors and the multitude of empty beer bottles that littered it. Now, he was resting on my belly, in the crook of my arm. Like me I could tell he was starting to feel the pull of dreams as the middle of the night took over. The opening credits and music began to play and my attention snapped towards the screen, intent on watching this final installment of the trilogy.

Looking over I notice that London's energy was slowly fading with every minute that passed, but her persistence to continue watching was evident as well as she seemed to retrain her eyes on the television screen and steady herself for last and final installment of this trilogy. My eyes focusing on her eventually drew Victor's gaze, his eyes meeting mine. With the slightest of nods I indicated to Victor and he looked. His eyes moved back to mine and I raised an eyebrow at him, questioning if that were enough for the night. Saying nothing and not returning an answer or question he looked back at the television and so I took my cue and did so as well.

Jimmy's eyes on the couch caught my attention and I looked over at him. He nodded faintly at London. I looked she was clearly not able to remain awake. I almost smirked at her attempt at staying awake. It was clear that she would fall into sleep at any moment. The cub too looked like he was ready for bed, his eyes blinking slowly and lids clearly heavy. I did not return any answer to Jimmy, if she wanted to sleep, then she could. She was an adult and in charge of the cub.

I felt myself drop into sleep but pull myself out of it again and I knew that I was fighting a losing battle. The noise of a loud bang from a commercial startled me and my eyes opened wide. Making the decision that it was time for me to head to bed I stretch one arm and yawn. "Well, I think I am going to go to sleep. I can't stay up for this one." I say this more to myself than either Victor or Jimmy.

"That's a good idea. I think I will head up too, in case we decide to leave tomorrow afternoon, I want to have enough rest to go the distance we take." I say, looking at her with a nod, and then to Victor. His face unreadable, "What do you say, Victor?" I ask. He gives me a look, I couldn't tell if it was weathered or annoyed.

"Fine." I spit out and rise. Leaving the room.

I look over at Jimmy, my eyebrows raised a bit. Great I thought, I get to sleep next to that. "So…?" I start to say but let it go. What could I say, I think.

With a shake of my head, "Pay him no attention. He's just being dramatic." I say with a smile. As she rises I stand as well. "Do you need help with Henry's travel bag?" I ask her.

Shaking my head no, I offer him a small smile, "Oh no, I got it. Thank you though." I bend down and grab it off of the chair next to the couch. "Could you turn off the lights and television though, I don't know if he," I say, nodding my head in the direction Victor took, "Will be coming back this way."

"Yeah, no problem." I respond.

I'm almost out the door and I turn, "Oh and check if the doors are locked, the garage door too." I say. I know I did not need be worried but I still felt unsure about sleeping in a space that was not my own, I just did not feel safe.

Again I nod to her, "The garage door is shut, but I will check again after I look the doors." I offer her a smile. She nods and turns, going upstairs.

I make my way into the bedroom and hear the shower running. I move into to baby's room and put Henry gently down on the changing table. I remove his clothes and his diaper, even though it was not dirty; I wanted him to go to bed with a clean diaper. I pick him up and walk back into my room, and lay him down on the bed for a minute while I find him some pajamas to sleep in. Once located I put him in and place him in his crib, the fluffy teddy bear I had brought downstairs I placed in there beside him.

After making sure that Henry's crib was locked in place and that he was in there comfortably with a blanket, I take my toothbrush and toothpaste and make my way to the spare bathroom. I quickly brush my teeth and rinse my face with water. Once done I make my way down the hall again, bumping into Jimmy, "Oh! Sorry. I didn't hear you." I say, startled by his sudden presence at the top of the stairs.

Chuckling, "Sorry about that. Quiet as a cat, I am." She nods. "Victor too. Should get him a bell." I say jokingly. She smiles at this. "The doors are all locked, garage too." I say. Nodding she responds.

Still smiling at the jest at his brother I answer him, "Thank you for checking. I know we don't really need to but I just like to be sure."

I nod at her this time, "It is no problem, really. Better to be safe than wake up under attack." She gives me a look. I shakes my head and continue, "Anyway, night."

"Good night." I say and move past him to and open the door to our room. Victor is standing there, drying his hair with a towel, naked. I shake my head at his nudity. I'm not actually bothered by it so much as it confuses me. Deciding that I'm not too tired to ask him about it, as I walk past him and put my toothbrush and toothpaste away in the bag I ask, "Aren't you worried you will be attacked in your sleep, or something?" As I finish I turn and stand, his eyes on me, watching my movement. I walk over to Henry and check on him, still breathing deeply his eyes are still closed and his breathing steady. "You sleep naked." I state as if that would make it move obvious about what I was trying to say. "I don't know, I guess I was just wondering if you were worried you would be attacked in your sleep and you know… You sleep naked." I finish lamely. His gaze, intense, I look away and climb into bed, removing my bra and tossing it across the space and watch as it lands upon my bag.

I huff at her. What does she know? I return to the bathroom and hang my towel up. I could not discern if she was bothered by my nudity or not. Perhaps not in this current context, maybe in another I think and smirk to myself. I could feel her gaze on me and I turn and exit the room, turning the light off and making my way across the room. "Would you want to fight a naked man?" I say to her, perhaps more roughly than was needed.

It was a good question, obviously I would never have thought about that in a million years. But I suppose I am now in Victor's world, and perhaps that is a normal question to think about. "I don't know… I guess not." I say. "I guess it would just leave you vulnerable and I think that would bother me." I finish and look at him before looking away, straight ahead at the far wall.

I sniff, "I regenerate, remember? I am not vulnerable." I spit out the final word. She looks at me and then away. I grab the remote on the side of the bed and flick on the television. As I do so, she turns off her light and I turn off mine. Going through the channels I find the movie we had been watching downstairs and put down the remote.

I gathered that was the end of our conversation as he grabbed the remote. I took the hint and turned off my light. He followed suite and I situated my pillows as he went through the channels until he found the channel we had been watching downstairs. Realizing he met to finish the film I roll over my body facing him, and smash my pillows into submission before I found a comfortable position. "Good night Victor." I say. He doesn't say anything, but I hadn't expected him to. We remained in the dark, watching the Lord of the Rings until fell into sleep.

Her breathing became steady and heavy and I knew she had fallen into sleep. From across the house I listened as Jimmy also lay down on his bed and flicked on his television. I heard the echo of the movie we were watching come through the air and I smirked, so he wasn't actually going to bed either. I let my attention fall to the film and looked at London once more. Her questions were irritating. I would have to get her to stop asking so many, I would kill her if she didn't. I let her fade my thoughts and I my mind focused on the film before me.

Well that's it for tonight. Hope you liked it. Please let me know what you think. Have a good night. Happy reading and writing. –Sevy14
