Alma had been working rough and long lately. Barron had given her enough work and she was getting stressed. Everyone could see it in her. Her body is tense, the happy and joyful look in her eyes is no longer there and she reacts fiercely and sometimes even meanly. She also eats and sleeps a lot less and since we hardly see each other anymore, we haven't talked for a while either.

I could stand it at first, but now it is getting out of hand.
She had woken up early this morning and had begun to work without telling me anything and apparently, one of the twins had run into her and she had flown out so rough that she had made him sad.

That evening I had also brought her supper ( again ) to her office and when I asked if she might want company, she replied with a cold n fierce "no" and sent me away without even giving me a glance or a thank you.

I was angry as I sat back down with the children in the living room.
" So how did it go? " Emma asked hopefully.
" Oh Emma, just look at y/n. Her whole face says so," said Enoch fiercely back. Emma looked at him angrily. She wanted to say something back, but I jumped between them before she could.
" Calm down guys. I can barely handle one angry and stressed woman, I shouldn't have any angry and stressed children with her. Don't let her negativity affect you guys. Now, watch a movie and then go to bed. No one has to get up early o tomorrow, so sleep late. "

This made the children happy and they started the movie with a happier mood. During the movie, I couldn't help but think about Alma and about how I was going to handle her.

After the movie, as agreed, everyone went to bed and I followed along. Surely there was no point in waiting for Alma. Somewhere inside me, I had a glimmer of hope that as soon as I opened the door to our bedroom that she was already going to be there, but that quickly faded after I saw the empty room.

I took a shower and then sat up in the bed. It was almost 1 o'clock and even though I was tired, I had to and was going to talk to Alma.

After waiting an hour, I wanted to give up and just when I wanted to turn off the lich, the door opened and I was greeted by my tired wife.

" Y/N, why are you still awake? That- " I interrupted her and looked at her irritated.
" No indeed. I shouldn't be awake anymore and neither should you. You're getting on everyone's nerves and mine are on fire. You've been selfish these few weeks and now it's my turn. I need my wife and not an exhausted version of her. You are going to shower now for as long as you think is necessary to get all this stress off you and after that, you will come to me and cuddle me to sleep, understand? "

She looked at me shocked and the only thing she could do was nod. I pointed to the bathroom door and she wasted no time in going.

After three-quarters of an hour, she was done and when she came out of the bathroom she seemed much more relaxed, but she also had red eyes. A sign that she had been crying and now I felt evil.

" Come here, baby. " I said and I opened the blanket and held my arms out to her. She crawled on top of me and snuggled into my arms as she hid her head in my neck and started sobbing lightly again. I covered us with the blanket and while I held her tightly with one arm, I stroked her hair with the other.

" S-Sorry. I never meant to make you suffer," she said softly while still crying a little.
" Baby, you shouldn't have to suffer either. I married you because I love you and I knew if I married you I was going to get extra work. So let me do that work. "
" Sorry. "
" You shouldn't just say sorry to me. I love you and you will have to do some worse things to really get me angry. "
" Yes, sorry. Next time I'll ask for help. "
" I think that's a tight plan. Now, let's put those little eavesdroppers to bed. "

I opened the door with magic and all the children literally fell in.
" Uh... the young kids couldn't sleep and neither could we and so we came here, but before we could knock the door opened and we fell in. " Olive said quickly.

Me and Alma looked at each other and we both burst out laughing. The fact that she got that out of her sleeve so quickly was amazing.

Somewhere in the middle of my laughing fit it came to me that both me and Alma were naked, so with a quick move of my hand we had some clothes on.

" Sorry guys. I'll ask for help next time if it gets to be too much. "

The children said nothing, instead, they looked at each other, and when they looked back at us, a mysterious smile grew on their faces. Before I could even ask Alma what they were going to do, they came running to us and jumped on us, and hugged us.

" You are forgiven. "
" Yes, we still love you. "
" I think y/n deserve a break now. "
" Yes, you should spoil y/n. "
" Or all of us. "

The children shouted all sorts of things interchangeably and I couldn't help but laugh.
" I think the kids' ideas are pretty good.
Should I spoil you? " said Alma with a grin and I could feel a hand slide down from her.

" Can we spend the night here? " asked Claire in a sleepy voice.
" Sure. Whoever wants to, can stay," said Alma and I made the bed a little bigger so everyone could lie comfortably.

Most stayed and we all cuddled together. Me in the arms of my beautiful wife, as the centerpiece of all the bed. "

" Sleep tight all. " said I and Alma at the same time. "

" Sleep well y/n and miss Peregrine. " said the children back. "

" Sleep tight, my dear. " I whispered to her. 

" Sleep tight beauty. " I received back along with a small kiss.
