The next morning…
"I still can't believe it" Brax admitted as we lay in bed together
"Neither can I" I replied "it's a whirlwind, isn't it?"
He nodded his head, signalling yes, capturing his lips with mine…
"Mummy, Brax, time to get up" Jacob proclaimed, hurrying into the room
"Excuse me, Mr, but what have Brax and I told you about knocking?" I questioned
"To always do it before you walk into a room" he admitted
"Then why didn't you this time?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him
"I forgot, sorry, Mummy" he replied
"Okay, I'll let you off" I informed him "what would you like to do today, bud?"
"Go to the beach" he proclaimed
"I don't think that's an option, mate" Brax admitted "the weather's not very nice"
"Brax is right" I stated "how about we have a movie day? Just the three of us?"
"Can I pick the movies?" he asked
I nodded my head, signalling yes, chuckling as he hurried out of the room, Brax and I hearing him rummage through the DVD collection in the living room… "I better go supervise"
"I'll go" Brax informed me "you stay here, and I'll make you breakfast in bed"
"You don't have to do that" I replied, staring at his physique as he climbed out of bed
"I want to" he admitted "so you stay here, put the TV on and relax, okay?"
I nodded my head, signalling yes, reaching for the remote from his bedside table, snuggling back under the covers, smiling warmly at him as he walked out of the bedroom, shutting the door to behind him…
BRAX'S POV:
"Movies are chosen, Brax" Jacob informed me as I organised Ricky's breakfast
"Okay, mate" I replied "now how about you come and help me make Mummy's breakfast?"
"Why is she not getting up?" he questioned as he made his way into the kitchen
"Because she's had a busy week and I think she deserves a bit of a rest" I informed him
"Okay" he stated "what can I do to help?"
RICKY'S POV:
Later that morning I made my way out of mine and Brax's bedroom having got dressed, generally tidied the room and made the bed. Taking my tray that Brax had brought my breakfast in on into the kitchen, I smiled as I watched him and Jacob together, cleaning up the mess they'd made…
"Having fun, boys?" I questioned, setting my tray down on the side
"No, cleaning's boring" Jacob sighed
I chuckled lightly and ruffled his hair… "Why don't you go set up the first movie we're watching and I'll help Brax finish off?"
Nodding his head, he climbed down off the stool he was stood on and hurried into the living room. Turning so my back rested against the worktop, I looked over at Brax and smiled warmly at him as I saw he was watching me… "What?"
"Nothing. Just thinking about how much I love you" he admitted
"Good, because I love you too" I mirrored
Reciprocating my smile, he made his way over to me and kissed me softly, both of us being interrupted by Jacob informing us that the movie was ready… "Come on"
