After the party, Lara and Nate brought the kids to their room. They were tired after playing with their friends and eating all the snacks they could find.
Like that, there was no resistance to slumber, and the two ended up snoring as soon as they lay down.
«Awesome,» Lara sighed, relieved. She was happy her kids were happy; and she was even more content that they fell asleep without any need for stories, cuddles, and endless talk. She also wanted to rest after that long day.
«Are you tired?» Nate asked.
When she nodded, he walked to her and picked her up, one arm behind her waist and the other under her knees.
«What are you doing?» Lara asked, whispering so as not to wake the twins. Better not to show them that scene!
«I'm carrying you back. You said you're tired,» Nate murmured.
He bent down to peck her forehead, and his nose was tickled by her bunny ears.
