Walking out of the bathroom, I smile at the site that greets me.
My beautiful mate was lying on my bed with our daughter resting on her chest.
Everyone finally decided to leave when Nefera started falling asleep in my arms. They didn't understand that both of us only needed a fifteen-minute nap before we were good to go.
Still, I was glad they'd left. I love my family but having them all around made it hard to spend time with my girls.
"She's worn out," I chuckle, seeing Pen-Pen fast asleep with her mouth open.
"Very," Nefera agrees. "I think her social life is starting to catch up to her."
"Imagine when she's a teenager," I tease, but I'm anxious at the thought. Goddess, I'd need to set guards around our house by then.
Make sure they were all mated.
Does it sound sappy that I wish Penelope would stay this small forever? Yeah, I wasn't sharing that thought with anyone any time soon.
