Sleep

Anna was sitting in an armchair in her night-time robes reading a book in one of the rooms in the castle used for rest and relaxing also reading as it had a miniature library in it and it had a nice fireplace in it that was lit and not only made the room warm, but when the torches that were lit in the castle at night weren’t lit the fireplace drowned the room in a nice and warm light that had a relaxing effect and Anna liked it a lot.

As she read her book she felt a presence by her feet which was reinforced by something tugging on her robes’ fabric that was at her ankles. She lowered her book and looked down at her feet and she smiled at the site she saw that warmed her heart.

Sitting at her feet dressed in some small night clothing was her 2-year-old son Kyle who looked up at her and she smiled down at him as she put a bookmark in her book before closing it. She soon placed the book on the armrest of the chair and leaned down and picked him up where he instinctually clung to her.

“How is my little angel doing?” She asked in a soothing voice only a mother could do as she looked at him with a lovingly look. “Did you came all this way just to find me?” She asked amused at how she was pretty much the only one awake now, but she dropped her smile when Kyle didn’t do his usual amused laugh and look at her with a droopy look which made her mind click at what that meant.

“Is my sweet little prince tired?” And her only answer was her son letting out a loud yawn and she giggled at that taking that as a ‘yes’ so she stood up both arms holding him close to her and started making her way out of the room knowing that someone would put the book back and put the fire out.

Anna hummed a peaceful tone as she walked to her son’s room while holding him protectively in her arms as she walked. Kyle rested his tired little head on her shoulder finding her presence more than enough to make him sleepy.

By the time she reached his room he had fallen asleep within his mother’s arms and Anna couldn’t help but smile at how he slept with peace of mind as she puts him on the bed, but his hands still held her robe and when she tried to stand up his hands didn’t let go.

Anna just sighs as she smiled at how even in his sleep her son doesn’t want her to leave even if he wasn’t aware of her presence and she looks out the window above his bed noticing how dark it was outside. She decided that she didn’t want to have him be afraid in the dark if she suddenly left and so she smiled back down at him and soon hops into the bed with him and she wraps her arms around protectively as he automatically snuggled up in her embrace.

“Sweet dreams my little prince.” She said lovingly to her son before her eyes closed falling into the world of dreams too.

Come morning John was smiling at the scene he saw when he entered his son’s room and saw his wife sleeping peacefully in the bed while holding a sleeping Kyle in her arms.

He smiled as he carefully left the room deciding to let his wife and son peacefully continue to dwell the land of dreams and enjoy the moment for now.
