Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Chapter 336 Sleeping Together

"Looks like Gabriel is asleep," Sarah said when she saw that her son didn't move at all. Normally, her son would answer her question with yes, but this time it seemed a little different. Maybe it's because he's grown a bit?

Sarah felt a little sad about it.

Why are her kids growing up so fast?

"Doesn't Gabriel want to sleep in Daddy's room with Daddy and Mommy? But it looks like he can sleep in this room," said Sarah again who was still staring at her son and observing his movements.

She knew her son was still awake because she could see there were slight movements in his body, but it seems that because he was being cranky, he decided to pretend to be asleep.

However, the pretend to be asleep did not last long after the little boy heard what his Mommy had just said.

"Is it true?" Gabriel asked, turning his head towards Directions. "Mommy isn't lying?" continued the kid with his face still looking like he's been crying.

Sarah felt a little guilty seeing her son who clearly looked like he had been crying. It seemed he was really upset by it.

"Yes, tonight we can all sleep together in Daddy's room," replied Sarah, nodding her head with a smile.

In her heart, Sarah only hoped that she would not regret this decision she made.

***

Sarah stopped her steps and sighed. In front of her, there was a door, the door that connected his current place to Michael's bedroom.

By now, Sarah was already in her pajamas, preparing to go to bed soon, but... she suddenly hesitated again.

Somehow... Sarah couldn't express it, but obviously, thinking that she would be sleeping in the same bed with Michael was really weird.

Did she really have to sleep here tonight?

Sarah took another breath. She had promised her kids to do it.

After all, it's just sleeping and there will be kids between Michael and herlater.

So... everything should be fine, right?.

Having managed to suggest it like that, Sarah knocked on the door of the room and opened it.

The sight of Michael wearing pajamas to Raphael was immediately captured by Sarah's sense of sight. She saw her eldest son smiling happily when his pajamas had been successfully put on.

Sarah just shook her head when she saw Raphael's attitude. Her son had been able to put on his own pajamas from a year ago, but it seemed that the eldest son deliberately pretend didn't know how to do it so that Michael could help him get dressed.

After Sarah thought about it again, Raphael did such things several times, like wanting to ask Michael for help, even though he could actually do it.

It seems... The kids miss the father figure, and that makes Sarah a little guilty.

"Mommy!"

Sarah's gaze shifted from Raphael, to Gabriel who was calling out to her. The little boy had climbed into bed, and was waving his arms, telling Sarah to come closer.

With slow steps, Sarah approached the kid.

As soon as Sarah finally sat on the edge of the bed, Sarah finally realized that she was a complete fool.

Why did she have to be on the side where she was sleeping six years ago when she could have gone to the other side?

It seemed like her subconscious knew which side of the bed was her place, so her feet took her there right away.

However, it was really weird and she shouldn't be on the same side of the bed as she was six years ago!

Sarah stood back up, decided to move to the other side, but she was a little late because Raphael and Michael had come and took the position.

"I'll sleep beside Mommy," said Raphael when he saw Gabriel had taken his place first.

"No! I will sleep beside Mommy! I was here first!" said Gabriel who did not want to budge.

He was happy to be sleeping with his Daddy and Mommy, but he realized that only one of them could sleep near their Mommy.

"No, I want to sleep near Mommy," said Raphael a little forcefully.

It was the first time in a long time that he hadn't slept with his Mommy, so tonight he wanted to sleep with his Mommy.

Seeing his kids arguing over sleeping next to Sarah made Michael feel a little sad.

"What about Daddy? Don't you guys like sleeping near Daddy?" Michael asked in a half-joking tone and tried not to look too sad about it.

"Hmmm..." The two kids fell silent and stopped the debate when they heard what Michael had just said.

"Ah! What if tonight, Riel sleeps near Daddy and I near Mommy, then tomorrow, Riel sleeps near Mommy and I near Daddy!" said Raphael suddenly, finding a wise solution to it.

"Okay! I agree," Gabriel said finally agreeing to it. He will let his brother today, tomorrow he will sleep with his Mommy anyway.

Sarah, who was still sitting near the bed, widened her eyes when she heard what her son had just said.

"Tomorrow?" said Sarah.

Raphael nodded.

"We can't sleep between Mommy and Daddy, so we will do it alternately," said Raphael who had moved near Sarah.

"Come on Mommy, sleep here," said Raphael, patting the empty space next to him.

Sarah sighed at what her eldest son had just said. Why does he have to be so smart like that?

Sarah then lay down next to Raphael. For today, she will not say anything about tomorrow. She will talk to them again.

As soon as Sarah lay down, Sarah immediately felt something strange inside her when she saw the very familiar ceiling. The color was still the same as it was six years ago, and she was starting to feel weird!

Sarah then turned to the side, and that made it even more weird!

Why hasn't anything changed in this room?! Why did she feel something strange inside her at this moment?

"Daddy, can you read me a story? I put the storybook there!"

Sarah's gaze then shifted when she heard Gabriel's words.

Yes, right now she better not focus on reminiscing about the memories from six years ago. There were kids here, and she'd better put them to sleep soon so she could sleep.

Michael then took the fairy tale book that was on the nightstand next to him, and began to open the fairy tale book.

"A long time ago, there was a..." Michael then began to tell what was in the fairy tale book.

"Daddy, you are really bad with that!" said Raphael looking at his Daddy with a tired look.

"Just let Mommy read the story," continued Gabriel in agreement.

What his kids said was like a knife stuck in his heart.

Is he that bad?

According to him, he's not that bad!

Sarah chuckled at the situation. She then took the fairy tale book and began to read it.

"You have to talk like that, to make it interesting," said Sarah, turning to Michael with a smile.

Michael just opened his mouth, feeling really stupid. Didn't he just have to read it? Why did you have to change the tone of voice for each character that appeared?

Apparently, it was a trick he had to do because now his two kids were focused on listening to Sarah's fairy tales. He also found it more and more interesting.

"What happened, Mommy?" asked Raphael curiously because Sarah suddenly stopped the story even though they were currently enjoying it.

"We'll continue that later. Let's go to sleep," said Sarah, who decided not to continue her fairy tale book.

The two kids whined, but in the end they followed what their Mommy said.

"Goodnight Mommy, goodnight Daddy," they both greeted in turn with smiles on their faces when they saw their Daddy and Mommy sleeping beside them.

"Goodnight~" Sarah greeted them and then kissed their foreheads alternately.

Michael did the same thing to kiss their forehead.

When Sarah stopped reading fairy tales, her mind went back to the memory of six years ago when she and Michael slept here.

Who would have thought the next six years, they would be sleeping here again with twins.

'Don't think about anything else and just focus on sleeping,' Sarah muttered to herself. Tried to shake off the thought and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep.

After a while, Sarah could hear the kids drifting off to sleep one by one until the two of them finally fell asleep.

Apparently, she too should have started trying to get into a comfortable position to sleep.

Suddenly, Sarah started to feel something moving on the bed. It sounded slowly, until it finally took its place next to Sarah.

Sarah could feel her heart slightly stop beating. She didn't have to open her eyes to see what was going on.

A familiar presence and warmth began to be felt from beside her.

'Why did Michael move closer here?'
