"Woof woof!"

I open my eyes to see coco beside me.

"Good morning coco!!!" I squeal as I boop her nose and give her some well deserved scratches.

It's been a few days since Dads death. It broke me a little. He was hard on me all these years but he was my Dad.

I did what I could. His grave was near to mummas. His Mia.

I prayed and hoped that he rests in peace now.

The nights after his death were a little difficult. I couldn't forget the hate that harboured in his eyes for me.

The boys were with me everytime bringing me back to reality, making me realise how much the people around me loves me.

The others were always near me during the day helping me get through the tough emotions.

And I decided that I did all that I could. Now, I need to be there for the people who are there for me.

I cried that night in Eli and Aidens arms and woke up quite relieved. It felt as if a huge burden was off my chest.

Crying out felt good.

It's a simple thing, what we receive from the world is not under our control but what we give is. And I choose to give love.

"Morning darling" Eli's voice brings me out of my thoughts.

"Good morning Eli" I lift my arms up indicating him to come pick me up.

I love being carried by the boys.

He picks me up laughing. I straddle his waist resting my head on his shoulder.

"Where is Aid?" I ask.

"He is helping Aunty Chloe carry her bags. I came back coz I knew you would be up by now." Eli replies.

"Uhhu. Good instinct. Where did you guys go?" I ask stifling a yawn.

"We brought some groceries. You were sleeping peacefully so we didn't want to wake you up and we needed milk for your coffee." Eli says as he nuzzles my neck.

"Okay." I murmur a little drowsy.

"Still sleepy baby?" Eli asks as he strokes my hair.

I nod. I hope I did nod.

Eli leads us to the vanity and gently helps me down.

"Come on kitten, the guys are coming in some time."

My eyes open wide. Oh yeah. We have planned a chill day today.

Eli laughs at the giddy look on my face.

I brush my teeth as he helps me untangle my hair.

His eyes are so concentrated not to mess it up.

I chuckle at that and he looks at me through the mirror giving me a beautiful smile.
