Chapter 13 ~ The First Morning Together as a Family ~
Elizabeth woke before him and scooted out of bed to attend to herself and to get the fire stoked downstairs. She came back up and returned to the nice warm bed. Suddenly, he jumped and whispered loudly, "my goodness Elizabeth, your feet are freezing. Whatever have you been up to?" He kissed the top of her head and said "point them that way." As he pointed toward the door. He chuckled and then scooted down to warm her feet by rubbing them with his hands.
He had her purring before long and decided that he would see if she was interested in some early morning romance. He found that she had no objections, and quite the contrary, she was right there with him.
It wasn't long before one little boy had decided to sneak in between them for a morning cuddle. They would have to remember to close the door so that they would have a better chance of hearing him enter. But for now, they were just happy to be together, content and relaxed, and with this sweet little boy between them.
"I hungry for pancakes." They soon heard. "Well, pancakes it is," Lucas proclaimed. As he was pulled out of bed by his little buddy.
He looked over at Elizabeth, "I suppose this is where the honeymoon ends and our new life begins?"
She smiled at him, "and nothing could be better."
