She nodded again, silent as she followed him
|
|  |

|
The two slipped back under the covers, Gale wrapping his arms around her. "Try and get some rest," He murmured
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She nodded, cuddling against him
|
|  |
|

|
Gale drifted to sleep easy that night.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
|

|
He stayed asleep, having a dream about their first child. "Stay. . . why. . . not breathe" Gale muttered in his sleep, turning away from her as he scowled.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She looked over at him, worried. "Babe, it's not real. You're okay"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
He awoke with a jolt, realizing then his fist was tangled in the sheets and his chest was heaving.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She had a hand on his chest and the other holding her up for support. "You okay?"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
His fingers laced in hers on his chest, nodding. "Yeah just. . . memories."
