this is only a short chapter but it was sweet so i hoped it held it's own

Chapter six

The heavy pressure remained as Greg struggled to lift his head and open his eyes, he was in a bedroom but not his own. He panicked as he looked around then noticed red hair spilled across his chest, two small hands land on top of his abdomen while another feminine hand rested on those hands. Greg blinked several times before he could understand what was happening. He glanced beside him and for a second he saw the broken bodies of Sara and Lotte… but then he understood they were sleeping, peacefully… beside him. Greg swallowed and shifted slightly so he move his other arm and stare at the two people lying beside him.

Lotte hadn't surprise him as much, Sara had told him that because Lotte was scared of her father she had sort of latched on to Greg when he showed her kindness, something he hadn't stopped showing her. No, what surprised Greg was the brunette laying curled up with the red head. Sara was nestled under the covers and against Lotte. She had draped her arm over the child who had managed to link her fingers with the older woman.

Greg couldn't help the tightening feeling in his stomach and truth be told he never wanted it to go away… he had dreamed about Sara in bed with him, both during and after sex but now looking at both the woman and the child Greg liked this image better. It was better then any dream it was real and it made him for a second imagine what life could be like with these two women.

Both seemed to cling to him and he liked it. Greg felt the tension draining completely from his body now; he reached down and pushed down red strands from the girls sleeping head. He then looked towards Sara and sighed… he wanted to touch her. Wanted to feel her, he was embarrassed by how he felt anymore… only sad because he knew he would never get her.

He only had to see her past relationships to know that… the guys that got Sara were everything he wasn't. He sighed as he brushed brown hair from her twitching nose, however he nearly jumped out of the bed when her eyelids fluttered open and she fixed her dark brown eyes on him. He was scared she was going to yell at him until he saw a smile lift the corner of her lips slightly.

He pulled his hand back and ran it through his hair leaving it to rest on top of his head "sorry… I didn't mean to wake you" Greg whispered but Sara shook her head lightly and shifted her self so she was looking at Greg more clearly "its fine… I'm sorry is she making you uncomfortable" Sara questioned flickering her eyes to the girl for a second to make her statement understood. Greg looked at Lotte and smiled slightly before looking back to Sara and met her gaze "god no…the pair of you can stay where you are for good" Greg offered wishing he hadn't the moment the last words left his lips. He was about to stumble out something to correct it but Sara chuckled lightly and gave him a large toothy grin "I wouldn't offer that Greg… we might take you up on it" Sara joked her eyes glistening. Greg was shocked to see the same look she held at the hospital all those months ago and he felt his heart beating faster… wanting nothing more then to reach across and kiss her deeply.

But the sleeping child next to him sighed loudly in her sleep and turned to face Sara who watched her. After a few minutes making sure the girl went back to sleep the pair look at each other and both saw relaxed looks. Greg couldn't believe how comfortable it felt to lay here and he attempted to read Sara's expression… for a moment he could swear he saw how comfortable she felt too but a yawn scrunched up her face and she covered her mouth. Greg grinned and lay back down against the pillow Sara doing the same.

"I really didn't mean to wake you" Greg admitted again but Sara shook her head "you didn't… really Greg" she assured before she frowned "but why was you awake if it wasn't Lotte" Sara questioned. The almost forgotten nightmare rushed back to his mind and Greg swallowed hard.

But plastering a fake smile across his face he gave Sara one of his boyish looks "well I had a dream… it involved three strippers a ring and some jell-" Greg broke off when Sara poked him but grinned "I don't want to know what your perverted mind can dream of. I'm going back to sleep, night" Sara declared before closing her eyes and sighing as she let sleep steal over her. Greg took a deep breath and watched Sara for a few moments "Sweet dreams Sara" Greg offered gaining a snort from Sara and that was the last thing Greg remembered as an uneasy sleep stole over him too.

He didn't dream the next time but he did wake up for a moment and saw that he and Sara had both draped an arm over the girl between them and were resting their hands lightly against each other. His leg twitched and he felt Sara's leg tangled wit his own. Greg grinned brightly to himself as he drifted back to sleep once more. drawing lazy circles on Sara's hip bone.
