"Joe, I finished editing your vlog," I said, closing his laptop.
"Thank you," Joe smiled.
"Mummy, can I sleep with you tonight?" Ozzy asked quietly, peeking his head from the bedroom door.
"Aw, Ozzy, come here," I smiled.
It was already late. The older kids and their friends have been asleep in the living room for an hour or two now and Ozzy and Ava fell asleep before they did.
"Are you okay buddy?" Joe asked, picking him up and brought him to our bed.
"I had a bad dream," He mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"Aw, it's okay, it's just a dream. Mummy and Daddy are here, no need to worry," I cooed.
Ozzy cuddled up in the middle of the bed and leaned his head on my chest.
I turned off my bedside lamp and Joe's was still on because he still needs to watch his vlog once and then start uploading it.
"Go to sleep, baby," I hummed, running my hand through Ozzy's hair.
Joe got into bed and opened his laptop, working away. I must have fallen asleep before he finished because I don't remember him turning off the light.
When I woke up in the morning, Ozzy was cuddled up with Joe. Joe had his arm wrapped around him and it was very cute. All of the kids, with an exception of Noelle (for obvious reasons), look just like Joe, it's ridiculous. I kneeled on the bed and took a picture from above. It was so cute, seeing them asleep and so peaceful, tangled in the duvet with messy hair.
I fixed the lighting on the picture and then uploaded it to my social medias.
I'm actually obsessed with that picture that I set it as my lock screen background.
Anyway, I quietly got out of bed and went through to the living room.
Noah and Jonathon were awake and just sat on the sofa talking quietly and whispering.
"Good morning," I said quietly to them, careful not to wake the girls.
"Good morning Mum," Noah smiled.
"Good morning Mrs. Sugg," Jonathon said.
I went into the kitchen and got myself a glass of water.
"Do you want me to make you some breakfast? Or do you want to fend for yourselves?" I smiled.
"I think we're good," Noah nodded, looking at Jonathon to see if he agreed and he nodded.
"Well you know where to find me if you change your mind," I smiled.
I headed back to my room before deciding to check on Ava really quick. She was fast asleep still so I decided not to bother her and let her sleep.
"Mummy?" Ozzy hummed, sitting up in bed.
"Morning darling," I said quietly, ruffling his hair.
Ozzy cuddled up against me as I sat on the bed and drifted back to sleep as I stroked his back. I felt so calm and peaceful and just genuinely happy.
The sun was coming in through the curtains a bit and cast a beam of light across the bed. Joe was lightly snoring and he looked so at peace too. Just knowing that everything is alright and being content makes life so much easier and happier in general.
I laid back down in bed and continued stroking Ozzy's back gently. I closed my eyes and just relaxed.
"Mummy?" I heard a small whisper.
