PIPER'S POV:
I walked into the living room that evening, finding Tyler asleep with our 6 week old son Ethan on his chest, Eden asleep too, her head resting on his lap. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I snapped a picture and set it as my background, smiling warmly as I left them in peace and made my way into the kitchen, making a start on dinner…
TYLER'S POV:
"Wakey, wakey, sleepyhead." Piper's voice whispered in my ear as she pressed her lips to my cheek
"I wasn't asleep." I replied
"Course you weren't; that's why you were snoring." she informed me
"I've had a busy day at work, I'll have you know." I admitted
She nodded her head as she gently shook Eden awake… "That's why when I spoke to Ned earlier; he said you'd spent most of the day perfecting your golf swing."
"In between doing some actual work." I replied
"That's more like it." she informed me as she lifted Eden into her arms "Dinner's ready."
PIPER'S POV:
"Mummy…" Eden whispered as I went to leave her bedroom
"You're meant to be sleeping, Missy." I informed her
"Can't." she replied "You and Daddy's bed."
"You want to come in with me and Daddy?" I questioned
She nodded and pushed back her doona, grabbing her blanket from the side of her and climbed down. Smiling at her warmly, I took her hand and led her across the landing to mine and Tyler's room…
"What're you still doing up, little Miss?" Tyler asked as we walked in
"She can't sleep." I informed him "I'm gonna put Peppa Pig on for her and hope she falls asleep so I can get a shower."
"You go and get one," he replied "I'll look after her."
"Are you sure?" I asked
He nodded his head… "Go on, go."
Smiling at him warmly, I helped Eden up onto the bed and kissed him softly as Eden snuggled into his chest and made my way into our en-suite bathroom…
TYLER'S POV:
I looked down at Eden as the first episode of Peppa Pig finished and smiled, seeing she was now fast asleep. Easing myself further down under the doona, I closed my eyes…
PIPER'S POV:
I walked out of the en-suite after getting showered and changed into my pyjamas, finding Tyler and Eden fast asleep, Peppa Pig still playing on the TV. Smiling, I switched the TV off and climbed into bed, draping my arm across both of them, smiling warmly as Tyler's hand entwined with mine, my eyes closing as sleep came over me…
