“Can I sleep with you tonight, pleaseeeee,” your daughter ends her request with a loud whine as she tunnels her way into your side, body burrowing further under the covers until only a mop of hair remains peeking out from the top.
You open your mouth to respond, but Jake beats you to it, his head peeking out from behind the sliding door separating your bathroom from your bedroom.
“You know the rules princess,” he says, voice slightly muffled but the toothbrush sticking out of his mouth.
It makes your 6 year old sigh, as she springs up from hiding place.
“Just once,” she wails, her bottom lip sticking out, arms folded across her chest.
“No,” Jake calls out as you hear him rinse his mouth.
“That’s mean Dad,” she huffs out as she begins to scramble. You watch, an amused tilt on your lips as she frowns, body both scrambling and flailing around in anger as she manages to lower herself, feet first from your bed to the ground before running out of your room and into the hallway.
“Where’s she?” Jake asks as he emerges from the bathroom, shirtless, with only a pair of sweatpants on, the tips of his hair still damp from his shower.
“Ran back to her room,” you say, amusement painting your features as you tilt your head towards the bedroom door, “you know you could indulge her for once.”
“No,” Jake says as he walks over to your side of the bed. He shakes his head lightly, causing droplets of water to fall on your face. It makes you swat him lightly, the back of your hand coming into contact with his hip, “we let one in and it’ll never stop.”
Jake loved his children, but it was one of his hard rules. Fell asleep in your bed? He was happy to carry a child or two back to their room. Had a nightmare? He was happy to squeeze himself into the child bed until said child fell back asleep, but his bed - that was off limits, a sacred space of sorts if you would.
Jake bends at the waist to place his palms flat against the surface of the mattress, effectively confining you to the space between his arms. He kisses you on the lips; you can feel the dampness of his hair brushing against his forehead.
“I’ll put her to bed,” he says against your lips before pulling away.
“She has your attitude,” you say to which he makes a face.
“We’ll leave her with one of my sisters, can’t have two of us now can we?” He grins at you as he straightens up again.
It makes you chuckle and you roll your eyes at his humour. Jake winks at you before turning to make his way towards the door.
“You’re MEAN,” you hear the little holler from down the hallway and it makes you laugh.
“She does have my attitude,” Jake sighs, shaking his head with a glance back at you, “no, you’re mean,” he hollers back, tone light and amusement heavy in his voice as he makes his way into the hallway
Life was never boring in a house of Seresins.
