"Here they come just in time- the PowerPuff Girls,â Butch sang to Protea as she lay cuddled up into his side, her favorite teddy bear clutched to her chest. Her small body radiated heat as she yawned. Butch stroked her hair. âBlossom, she is the Commander and Leader. Bubbles, she is the Joy and the Laughter. Buttercup, she is the Toughest Fighter. Powerpuffs save the day.â His voice trailed off as it had become very clear that his daughter was now fast asleep. The father carefully moved from the bed, making sure to settle her head onto the pillow gently. He crept out of the room. The door clicked softly behind him just as Buttercup emerged from the twinsâ room. She looked at him with those lovely green eyes that Butch still, after all these years, couldnât believe loved him.
âAsleep?â She whispered, her voice barely a husk. He nodded before giving her a sly smile.
âKids asleep? You know what that means.â Butch loved the way Buttercup had to stiffle a laugh as he lifted her up in his arms. Her arms looped around his neck as he carried her bridal style to their own room. The bed made a soft creak as he tossed her onto it.Â
âI most certainly do know,â she replied. Butch never could get over how her voice sounded when it was just the two of them alone. He propped himself above her. Those hands of hers drifted up the muscles on his arms before he unceremoniously flopped down on top of her. Buttercup laughed from under his weight, her arms circling around him.
âTime to get some sleep of our own,â He mused into the sheets. His girlfriend laughed again before playfully rolling him off of her. After a moment, they settled into each other. Butch had to admit they were a tangle of limbs when they slept. But I wouldnât have it any other way, he thought as he drifted off to sleep with her heartbeat next to his.
Here's a small snippet of the greens from Ch.3 of Home Sweet Home to lull you into false confidence before we both ultimately end up very sad from the angst to come.
