"Baby you aren't sleeping." Ethan said, as a matter of fact.
He pretended and heard her deep sigh more than thrice. She pretended to be sleeping, but Ethan got into a sitting position and pulled her up.
She tried to pretend more, but he tickled her armpits, making her open her eyes and tried to laugh it off, but Ethan wouldn't allow it.
"Talk to me." he said.
"I'm fine." Diana replied, as he held her close to his chest.
"You're not. Are you keeping something from me?" he asked.
"It's about the Ciara and Clara." Diana said, before pulling back and sat down facing him.
Ethan's brow creased immediately, "what happened?" he asked.
"I'm scared about them starting schooling." she said.
"It's fine. Take your time, till you're emotionally ready to let them, but know that it's necessary, because they're growing up fast." Ethan said.
"It's not because I don't want them to." she said, her eyes filling up with tears.
