I stirred in my sleep, sun getting through a place the curtains were not covering shining in on my face. I groaned and flipped to face in reaching out my arms seeking the warm chest of Percy but grasping nothing but cool open air. I opened my eyes a little seeing the covers thrown back on Percy's side of the bed and the dent in the mattress from where he was laying. I sat up and looked at my clock on the night stand, 7:30, damn why did I wake up so early?
I decided to forget the missing Percy and curl back up with the warm comforter on our bed, anyway when were out here in the Hamptons on sundays he sometimes goes out onto the porch to watch the sound.
I convinced my self this was the case and curled up into the warm bed.
That's when I felt a few giant boulders land on me.
It shook me pretty good.
I shot straight up to see our black lab _ and our yellow lab _ sitting on my legs. All four of my kids then entered my room. Kylie had a platter in her hand that had hat looked like breakfast. Brady had the morning paper and Remi and Liam had some magazines. Kylie placed the tray down on the bedside table and gave me a hug.
"Happy mother's day mom." She said.
I felt o bad I had forgotten it was mother's day. But it only took me a few seconds to recover.
"Aww thanks kids." I said hugging each of them. "Where's your dad?"
"Coming!" I heard Percy call from some where in the house.
He came into our room in sweat pants and a T-shirt with a hoodie on. He was carrying our yorkie toy dog Giggy in one hand and cards and presents in the other. Our king charles cavalier Lady was in tow behind him he placed Giggy on the bed and gave me a kiss.
"Morning Doll." He said.
"Morning hun." I said back as he handed over the cards and presents. Everyone crawled into mine and Percy's king size bed and we opened presents and cards. I got all nice cards from my kids and a pair of Ugg dakota slippers and some red wine glasses. I also got a personalized sketch book for work. But my favorite present was a picture frame was one with two pictures. The first picture was of Brady and me when he was first born and the next one over was at his high school graduation that we went to last week. I hugged them each and they told me to pick what I wanted to do. I thought for a while.
"This."
"what do you me?" Liam asked.
"I just want to sit here with you guys and look through some photo albums and talk for a while."
So Percy snuggled with me and we all flipped through some photo albums and watched some home movies, it was the best Sunday I have had in a while.
