Sage showered quickly, and brushed through his hair before pulling it back into a long braid as he moved back towards the kids and Celeste. "You ready for bed," he asked, and when she nodded he moved to the bed. "I'll stay up first," he noted softly. "Get some rest."

"Oh.. okay," she murmured, getting into bed. She tossed and turned, not having him to cuddle up to. She was cold and lonely. She ended up hugging a pillow tight, still not able to sleep.

Sage could hear her tossing and turning, so eventually he moved over to slide in next to her. "Come here," he noted with a chuckle. "I'll watch them from here, yeah," he mused, wrapping his arms around her.

Celeste cuddled right in, wrapping her arms and legs around him. She nodded, "Okay," she hummed with a yawn. "I love you," she whispered.

Sage smiled softly and nodded pressing a kiss to her head. She smelled really good....but he had the self restraint to not start anything. "I love you too," he hummed back, sort of just playing with her hair as he watched the kids

"...Sage?" she whispered. "Are we gonna try for more kids again?"

Sage let out a slow breath, thinking. "I'd love to but....It might be better to wait to get you pregnant until this is all over," he murmured. He love nothing more than to jump on her now, but....if she got pregnant it could be dangerous for all of them

"...yeah... youre right..." she sighed softly, disappointed. She knew it would be dangerous but that didnt stop her from wanting it.

Sage could tell she was disappointed, and sighed as well. "I wish I wasn't," he admitted with a chuckle. "But if we don't get this done soon, it'll be dangerous for you and the kids."

Celeste nodded. "Yeah... I know.."
