Adeline woke up in a slightly cold bed beside her. She sat up, confused and dazed, wondering where Elias had gone. She touched the spot and realized he must've left only a few moments ago. Were the babies crying? She slept peacefully for once, with no disturbance in the night.
Adeline sucked in a breath at the sight in the corner of the room. Elias was holding Adelia in his arms, softly humming to her as he swayed their bodies. Her heart squeezed when he lifted Adelia and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"You're awake," Elias said, raising his eyes to look at her.
Adelia was finally soothed back to sleep. Elias glanced at Elios who was wide awake and staring up at his father. Was Elios waiting for his turn to be coddled? Elias placed his daughter down and wryly looked at his son.
"Did you nurse them all night?" Adeline asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Of course," Elias responded. "I don't need sleep, but a little human like you does."
