An hour had passed, and I woke up to the sound of my little brother whimpering in his sleep.
"Hmm…sounds like Wayde is having a nightmare. I wonder what I can do to calm him down." I thought to myself. I then remembered the time Mom told me that she and Uncle Wanye were in the same position and she used her old binky to calm him down.
"Maybe that would work." I said to myself. I got out of my bed and walked to Mom and Dad's room. She was sitting down talking to Uncle Wanye.
"Hey Mom, I need your help with something." I said. She looked at me and nodded.
"What do you need help with?" She asked.
"I'll show you." I said. I walked out of her room and they followed. We came back to our room. Wayde was still whimpering.
"Sound familiar?" I asked. She nodded.
"Déjà vu." She said. I nodded.
"Déjà vu indeed Mom. Do you still have your old binky?" I asked.
"Yes, here you go." She said handing me her old binky. I walked over to Wayde's bed. He was laying down on his back. I whispered something in his ear and he calmed down a bit. I then stuck Mom's old binky in his mouth, and he started sucking on it in his sleep. I laid down next to him and fell asleep shortly after. Mom and Uncle Wanye watched us and smiled.
"Just like old times huh little bro?" She asked. He nodded.
"Yep." He said. He started to remember how he would suck on his sister's old binky every night to help him sleep until he was 12 years old. He smiled at the thought and they both left our room.
Wayde woke up an hour later and noticed he was sucking on Mom's old binky. He saw me sleeping next to him and lightly tapped me. I yawned and looked at him. He then took Mom's binky out of his mouth.
"Is this Mommy's old binky?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yep, she thought you could use it to help you get back to sleep. You were whimpering in your sleep." I said.
"Guess I'll have to thank her huh?" He said. I nodded. He smiled and let out the cutest yawn I've ever heard. He put Mom's binky back in his mouth and started sucking on it again. He slowly started falling back asleep. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"Goodnight, baby brother." I whispered to him. He was asleep a few seconds later. I fell asleep not to long after.
[The next morning]
Mom and Dad walked to our room to wake us up. Dad opened the door and noticed that we were sleeping next to each other, and Wayde was sucking on Mom's old binky.
"What…why is Wayde sucking on your old pacifier?" He asked. Mom smiled.
"It's a cute story. See, Wayde was having a nightmare, and Wilma was trying to find a way to calm him down. So she thought he could use my old pacifier to calm him down and it worked." She said. Dad smiled.
"I got to take a picture of this." He said. He then pulled out his smartphone and took a picture of us. He then lightly tapped us. I yawned and looked at him.
"Good morning Dad." I said.
"Same thing to you honey." He said. Wayde yawned and looked at Dad. He was still sucking on Mom's binky. Dad ruffled up his fur a bit and smiled.
"Mommy told me everything. You know, you look cute sucking on her old binky." He said. Wayde smiled through the binky and blushed a little bit. Dad laughed a bit and held his arms wide open. Wayde jumped up and gave Dad a hug. Mom smiled and pulled out her smartphone to take a picture of the cute moment. I smiled at this and got out of his bed.
"Are you going somewhere?" Mom asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to the lobby." I said. I left our room and walked to the lobby. I noticed Omega sitting down at one of the tables and sat down next to him.
"Hey Omega, what's up?" I asked.
"I got this ring for Theresa." He said showing me the ring.
"You're going to ask her to marry you?" I asked.
"I want to, but I don't know how I'm supposed to do it." He said.
"Oh, that's simple. You just get down on one knee and ask her to marry you." I said.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes, do you want me to come with you?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yes." He said. We both got up and went to look for Theresa. She was in her room doing some things.
"Theresa, I have something to ask you." He said. She stopped what she was doing and looked at Omega.
"What is it?" She asked. Omega got down on one knee and presented her with the ring.
"Will you marry me?" He asked. Theresa eyes lit up.
"Yes!" She said in a happy tone. Omega got up, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. I smiled at this. I knew those two would end up together. They parted after a minute and looked at each other.
"I've been waiting for you ask me that question!" She said. Omega smiled.
"Yes, I'm glad I finally asked you too." He said. The two of them walked off to begin planning their wedding. I was so happy for the two of them.
