It was Cheri’s first real bad storm. With the rain pounding on the roof and howling of the wind rattling the windows, it seemed like none of them were getting any rest that night.
Perry: <rocking a cranky Cheri> Shh shh, baby girl. It’s just the rain nothing to be scared of.
Cheri: <whimpers at the sound of a crack of thunder> Ahhh!
Divinity: <yawns as she strokes the back of Cheri’s head> We all need some sleep, lets try laying with her in bed. Maybe being close to us will help her fall asleep.
With a nod, Perry carries Cheri to the bed as Divinity gets the blankets ready. And just like that, even with the pounding rain and howling wind, Cheri was able to fall asleep.
Divinity: <smiles at the sleeping Cheri and whispers> There we go... She’s fast asleep.
Perry: <leans over and kisses Divinity> Finally. Let’s get some sleep while we can.
And so ended Cheri’s first stormy night, with a cuddle in the bed and two very tired parents.
