Chapter 18 -- Harvest Continues -- HS Football
Wednesday: Week 6
Having fallen asleep with both girls heads on my shoulders and chest I was woken around 1:30 with Kenz having another bad dream. She was shaking and whimpering as I spooned her. Finally getting my senses about me I shook her whispering,
"Sweetie, sweetie... wake up you're having another bad dream."
She startled awake sitting up in the bed holding her face in her hands, "Scott, Scott are you OK?"
She finally came to realize that she was awake and no longer dreaming and turned into me reaching up and putting her arms around my neck placing her head against my neck and shoulder. I could feel the tears dripping on my bare chest.
"Baby, are you OK?"
I asked as she lightly sobbed then nodding her head.
[Sniff] "Yeah... I... I think... so." [sniff] "God, Scott... are the dreams ever going to stop?"
"Probably but it may take quite a while. I still have bad dreams about the traffic stop last year on occasion but they keep getting further and further apart. This will too in time."
"I wish they would go away."
she whispered trying to not wake Kala.
"Me to babe."
"Sorry to wake you and get you all wet with my tears."
"Don't worry about it. I'm here for both of you as you two are for me."
"I know, I love you."
"I love you too sweetie."
I said.
"Think you can go back to sleep?"
"Think so, if you hold me."
"Anytime pumpkin."
as we both laid back down with her in my arms.
I kissed her on top of the head as she sighed in my arms dropping back off to sleep in a few minutes.
I listened to her breathing ease up and drifted back off.
----------------------------------------
About two hours later I was woken again from behind me with, "Oh, Scott! NO!"
I quickly moved my arm from under Kenz and laid her gently back on the pillow and quickly turned putting my arms around Kala whispering into her ear,
"Sweetie, you're having a bad dream."
gently shaking her.
She woke up and turned into me throwing her arms around my neck pulling me to her. I nuzzled her cheek and whispered as she sobbed,
"I'm here love. You're safe in my arms."
"Oh, Scott, they had cut your neck and you were bleeding badly as they grabbed the two of us."
"Didn't happen baby. I'm here with you and Kenz and we are safe in my bed."
"I'm so... so... sorry."
"Don't be baby, it will get better with time. Lie down and try to get back to sleep."
"Hold me? Please?"
"Anytime baby, anytime."
