“Come on, papa bear,” Hazel called lightly, attempting to pry Liam off Ethan’s legs. Liam grumbled and clung tighter.

“Liam, wake up,” she coaxed gently.

“Mama,” Liam mumbled, still deeply immersed in his dreams.

“Yes, baby. Come to bed now,” she whispered, managing to lift him gently and carry him to his bed. Ethan stood carefully with a still–sleeping Daisy, cradling her in his arms with evident affection. The tugged at Hazel’s emotions–a sleepy
