”Ok.” he nodded, finally letting go of her. ”Give them each a kiss from me.” he smiled.
She nodded going to the kids room
Laura-Beth was sitting on the floor, looking through a picture book with both her brothers and little sister.
" hey guys" she said
Laura-Beth looked up and smiled happily. “Hi, mama.”
Adrian sat up a little and reached up his arms, wanting to be held.
Betty bent down with a painful grunt and picked up Adrian
Adrian gave a small yawn and cuddled against her.
“Mama still hurt?” Laura-Beth asked innocently.
" yeah sweetie " she told Laura-Beth holding Adrian close to her chest
(Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. I have no power at my home.)
Laura-Beth nodded a little as she slowly stood up. “Can I help?”
(Oof sorry)
Betty shook her head " no sweetheart you can't "
(It’s ok. It just came back on. Yay!)
”Oh. Sorry, mama.” Laura-Beth said a little sadly as she looked at the floor.
" don't be so sad mommy just got in a bit of trouble " she said
Laura-Beth looked up in surprise. “You get in trouble, Mama?”
She nodded
Laura-Beth’s tilted her head a little. ”With daddy?” she asked innocently.
" time for bed" she said
”But I’m not sleepy.” Laura-Beth said, rubbing her eyes a little while Adrian was already sound asleep against their mother.
Victoria and Cole also looked a little tired.
She smiled softly "come on kiddo into bed" she said
Laura-Beth pouted childishly but followed her mama.
She smiled kissing her head
Laura-Beth looked up at her and tried to hold back a yawn.
" i know you're tired" she said
”No…” Laura-Beth shook her head as she climbed into her bed.
" yes" she said
Laura-Beth shook her head as a bigger yawn finally escaped.
" told you " she said
The little girl whined a little, still not wanting to admit she was tired.
She pulled the blankets over her
Laura-Beth grabbed her stuffed bat and snuggled it as her eyes slowly closed.
She kissed her forehead goodnight "
