"Well, glad to know i'm not crazy yet." She said, laughing gently. She was drifting in and out of sleep, tired but refusing to fall asleep again

 |
Elijah smiles, stroking her head. "Sleep love" he coaxes
|
|
|
|

|

|
 |
Elijah sighs, kissing her head. "If I sing you and the baby a lullaby will you go to sleep?"
|

"I don't want you to have to do all of the work around here, and I feel guilty when you do...." She said, snuggling into his side deeper
|
|  |
|
|
 |
Elijah smiles, "It's okay babe. You're doing a lot already" he reassures her
|
|
|
|

"But am I? I only have to carry them for 3 more months, but i'm still slacking on my responsibilities. I hate that I don't have the energy or strength to do everything I used to with you. You're working your ass off and i'm sitting in here, using up your time." She said, a tear rolling down her cheek
|
|  |

|
 |
Elijah wipes her tears away with a gentle graze of his thumb. "Hey love. Look at me" he says holding her close. "You are not a waste of time" he tells her, stroking her hair.

|

|
She looks up at him and kisses him. "I just hate that I can't help." She said, looking down again
|
|  |
|
|
 |
Elijah smiles, "I know, I know love"
