DEREK POV
After Chloe got done feeding Clarissa I took her so I could spend some time with her so she wouldn't be left out. I placed her on my knees as Chloe had done with Steven.
"Hi sweetie. You'll be one week tomorrow won't you sweetie. You gonna smile for mommy and me like your brother did?" I asked her. Her eyes smiled and she made a cooing sound but she didn't exactly smile.
"Maybe tomorrow huh cutie?" I asked Clarissa. I turned her so she could watch Chloe with Steven. Steven was on Chloe's knees and she was holding his hands and dancing with him.
"Time to dance pookie!" Chloe told him then started to sing. "Well shake it up baby, now, shake it up baby, Twist and Shout, twist and shout, come, come on, come on, come on baby, now, come on, baby, come on and work it on out, work it on out whooo!"
Steven was in heaven. His mommy was smiling at him, singing to him, jiggling and tickling him just like he liked. It was such a joy sitting here with my family just the 4 of us.
I was so thankful for Chloe in my life. I leaned over and gave her a long, sweet kiss. Steven cheered then leaned forward and pressed his lips to Chloe.
"Aww you giving mommy some sugar? Thank you pookie." Chloe told him, hugging him gently. "Chloe if you keep calling him pookie it's gonna haunt him for life. A werewolf whose mother calls him pookie." I told her teasingly.
"I know I'm sorry I just like the name. When he's older I'll stop calling him that." She said, smiling at Steven. He reached up to pat her face and she kissed his hand. He then let a big yawn.
"What time is it Der?" Chloe asked me. I looked at the clock by my bedside table. "Only 8:00." I told her. "You still tired pookie? How about we go back to bed?" Chloe told Steven.
He put his arms around her neck and cuddled into her. After a while he was asleep. I had Clarissa in the same position so I put her in the co-sleeper next to Steven. Chloe yawned.
"You should go back to sleep too Chloe." I told her. "Mmm ok. Hold me?" she asked. "Of course love." I told her and pulled her in close to cuddle with me.
After a while she settled into a deep sleep so I went downstairs to get breakfast. I turned on the baby monitor in case Chloe needed help with the twins. I was just finishing breakfast when I heard Steven cry.
It was amazing how after just one week I could distinguish between the twin's cries. I rushed up the stairs and took him out of his crib. He had tears in his eyes.
"What the matter? Did Steven have a nightmare?" I asked him softly. "Mamme." He cried. I was shocked he was speaking already. "Mommy's sleeping. See?" I told him, turning so he could see Chloe sleeping in bed.
"Mamme seepin?" he asked. Wow he was good at imitating sounds. I was so proud of him. "Yes Mommy's sleeping. You want to lay down with Mommy?" I asked him.
"Eeah, Mamee." He said, which seemed to mean Yes. Mommy. I laid down with Steven between me and Chloe. Steven kept touching Chloe's face to make sure she was warm and still there.
At one point he patted her so much she woke up and said "Hey, Pookie!" with such a big smile then went back to sleep. Steven then seemed to relax all over once she did that, like he knew Mommy was alright now.
Yeah it's super short sorry! But I got the idea for the nightmare and just HAD to write it! I'm headed to Broadway tomorrow to see a few shows but hopefully Monday I'll be able to get up the next chapter. It will ACTUALLY have some point to it rather than just fluff. Lol Anyway, REVIEW and tell me whatcha think please. =)
