Seth was sitting on the couch with Leighla's head in his lap and his arm laying on her stomach as she was holding his hand. She had drifed off to sleep a little while ago and Carson was asleep in his bed. He was watching a Harry Potter Marathon on tv and scrolling his phone for twitter, Instagram etc. He looked down and realized that she was exhausted and really needed to sleep she was fighting it when they got home but he convinced her to take a nap in his lap on the couch. He texted Marek and told him that he would be there but a few minutes late he was waiting on Carson to wake up so he could bring him to the class tonight. Seth had laid his head back on the couch and had dozed off himself until he was startled by the cries coming from the baby monitor he had laying beside him on the couch. He tried to untangle himself from Leighla and not wake her up once he had he laid her head down on the couch and hurried down the hall. He walked into the nursery and saw that Carson was not happy and picked him up from the crib "What's wrong son?" Seth asked as he walked over to the changing table to check his diaper but it was surprisingly dry. He looked for Carson's passy in the crib and picked it up and tried to give it to Carson who shook his head no and was still upset. "Shh, lets not wake mommy up buddy" Seth said to Carson as he rubbed the little boy's back and headed towards the kitchen to get a teething ring out of the freezer. "Let's try this" Seth said as he leaned up against the island and held the teething ring up to Carson's mouth and let the little boy bite on it. "That feel better baby boy?" Seth asked as Carson's cries quieted down to a whimper and Seth carried him back to the nursery and sat him down in his crib with the teething ring so he could grab his bag and made sure their were diapers, wipes and a extra set of clothes. He then picked Carson up and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle and put it in the bag and walked to the garage. He got him all buckled into his carseat and headed off to Black and Brave for the night. He decided that Leighla needed the sleep so he wasn't going to wake her up.
He gets to Black and Brave and carries Carson in and puts his bag down and gets his round activity center and puts him in the seat that they Marek keeps their for both of their boys. Carson wasn't so sure of this and starts to pucker up to cry and Seth gives him his passy before he could start as Marek comes over to where they were standing.
"What is daddy doing to you buddy?" Marek asked Carson who just looked up to him with his big brown eyes.
"Daddy put him down that's what's wrong" Seth replied as he showed Carson how to work one of the rattles on the activity center.
"Where is Leighla" Marek said as he took a drink of his water.
"She is home sleeping, I thought she could use a break, she is exhausted" Seth replied as they walked over to the ring and got in and started to warm up as their students started making their way in.
"That should get you a lot of brownie points" Marek said with a laugh.
Seth was standing against the ropes in the ring watching some of the students do some simple take downs when he heard Carson start to fuss and cry and he looked over and his son was not happy. He hopped down from the ring and walked over and picked his son up from the activity center and rubbed his pack and picked up his passy and poured some water on it and gave it back to Carson who laid his head on his daddy's shoulder.
Leighla finally woke up and realized that the house was awfully quiet she called out for Seth but he didn't answer so she got up and checked the kitchen and nothing she went down to Carson's nursery and he wasn't in there and her heart started tor race. She looked for her phone laying on the coffee table and saw a text from Seth saying she needed to sleep so he was taking Carson with him to Black and Brave and he loved her. She sent a text back asking him how much longer he was going to be and to stop by Starbucks on the way home please.
Seth came in with a sleeping son and a latte from Starbucks for Leighla who was laying on the couch with the laptop on her lap when she looked up at the sight and smiled.
"Thanks sweetie" Leighla said as Seth gave her the coffee cup and leaned down and kissed her e then went to go put Carson in is bed and he hoped he would stay thee for awhile because he needed to talk to Leighla. She could hear his feet on the hardwood as he walked back towards the living room and he sat down beside her on the couch as she laid the laptop down on the coffee table and put he legs over Seth's as he leaned down and gave her soft but sensuous kiss.
"Hmm I needed that" Leighla said as they broke apart.
"Me too, I missed you" Seth replied as he brushed back some hair from her face.
"I missed you so much and I needed help with Carson it was the first time I felt like a failure as a mom" Leighla said as she laid her head on Seth's shoulder.
"Babe, look at me you are the best mom I know, you love and take care of Carson's every need and I couldn't have asked for a better person to share this journey with" Seth said as he rubbed her back.
"I think next time you go away for more than a couple of days I'm going to Texas to stay with my mom" Leighla replied
"I think we can arrange that" Seth replied as he kissed Leighla on the temple.
"When are you going to have some time off?" Leighla asked as she picked at his tshirt
"I don't know why?" Seth asked as perplexed
"I know this is your job and I know how important it its to you as well as Black and Brave but I feel like Me and Carson are at the bottom of the list lately" Leighla replied.
"I'm sorry you had a rough week and I'm sorry that Carson was fussy with you but babe, I'm not going to be gone like that all the time I'm home every week" Seth replied as he lifted Leighla's chin so he could look into her eyes.
"I don't know why i'm so emotional I guess i'm just tired" Leighla said as she laid her head back on Seth's shoulder and snuggled into his chest.
"I promise I will try and be home at least 2 days a week babe, I miss you and Carson when I'm gone, maybe in a month or two when he is 6 months old we can bring him on the road, I will rent a bus and everything" Seth said as he held Leighla to his chest.
"Maybe" Leighla replied as she yawned and Seth looked down to see that her eyes were closed.
"Let's go to bed baby, I know your tired and I will get up with Carson when he wakes up" Seth said as he got up from the couch and helped Leighla up.
"I love you Seth" Leighla said as she leaned up and kissed him
"I love you too babe" Seth replied as he took her hand and they walked down to the hallway to their bedroom.
