Jane
“Daddy!” The sound of my pups’ frightened voices send me jerking upright in bed, suddenly and completely awake. I rush to their bedroom, flipping on the light and finding all four children piled on one bed, tears running down their cheeks.
“Oh my loves, did you have nightmares?” I croon, immediately moving forward to comfort them.
They nod, but instead of running into my arms, they tighten their ranks. “Yes, but we don’t want you, we want Daddy!” Paisley cries.
Pain slices through me, so powerfully it steals the breath from my lungs. I feel as though I’ve been punched in the stomach. No matter how bad things are between us, I’ve always been the one my pups turn to when they’re frightened or upset. “Well Daddy isn’t here.” I say shakily.”‘So you can have me, or nothing.”
“T-then we ch-choose nothing.” Riley informs me through her sobs.
I close my eyes so they can’t see me cry, nodding as my insides harden to stone. “Please don’t be that way.
You know l love you, I don’t want you to be sad or scared, won’t you let me help?”
They stubbornly shake their heads, cuddling closer to one another. “Fine.”I sniff turning for the door. “Do you want me to leave the light on?”
They exchange glances. “Do we have to go back to sleep?”
I glance at the clock, it’s after three AM, late enough that they could probably stay up and make up for lost sleep with an extra long nap. “No, I suppose not.”
I can’t stand this. Normally I would cuddle them back to sleep and sing them lullabies, the fact that they won’t let me comfort them feels like the worst rejection, and I’m trying very hard not to fall to pieces in front of them. We head into the kitchen and I make them some warm milk, hoping they’ll get drowsy and go back to sleep, but prepared to stay up with them if they don’t. I’m exhausted myself – between the eventful evening and the baby quickly growing in my belly. It’s getting harder to keep up with my pups every day.
They sit at the table in utter silence, and I emit a belabored sigh. “Do you want to tell me what you dreamed about?”
I don’t expect them to actually share their dream with me, but after a few extended moments of silence Parker speaks up. “We were back at Daddy’s ‘partment, playing in the Iiving room. Then Eve and ‘Nita and the King came in and kidnapped us. We were locked in a cold dark room, listening to them talk about what to do with us. Eve just wanted to hurt us, but ‘Nita and the King wanted to use us to get to you and Daddy.”
“And you all dreamed the same thing?” I ask.
good news is that it wasn’t real.” I tell them gently. “You know none of those people can ever hurt you or Daddy and I again.
