Ivy was just talking, but with Rosalynn's gentle voice, she soon fell asleep.
Both kiddos were snoozing by the time the story was over.
Rosalynn tucked them in, then gently kissed their foreheads.
This year, Cory and Ivy had changed a lot. They seemed to morph from mama’s babies into little adults overnight. Their features became more defined, looking more and more like Wayne.
Tonight, Cory and Ivy were good about not hogging the bed, leaving space for Rosalynn.
"Last year, we all slept on a bed about this size, and it was empty. Now it's crowded," Rosalynn looked back at Wayne and couldn't help but sigh, "They grow so fast, feels like in a blink of an eye, they'll all grow up and drift away from us."
Wayne reached out, and Rosalynn intertwined her fingers with his. Wayne pulled her into his arms, kissed her forehead and said, "It's okay, I'm here with you."
Rosalynn chuckled, looked up at Wayne, leaned in, and kissed his lips. Wayne had been poisoned, causing some blood clotting problems.
"I have to go to the office tomorrow, probably for the whole day, so Cory and Ivy are all yours." Rosalynn gently stroked his cheek, "Ivy started helping you with reading today, she's very proactive, she’s probably going to start teaching you tomorrow."
"Ivy told me." Wayne kissed her finger, "Can we go home the day after tomorrow?"
Wayne didn't feel safe in the hospital. When he first woke up, his first thought was to go home. After reunited with Rosalynn, he was even more eager to go home.
