Morning

Anna woke up still in Jack’s arms. It was the first night in a long time that she hadn’t woke up since she’d slept so peacefully. She didn’t have to move at all to kiss Jack’s cheek. A smile formed on his face but his eyes didn’t open, “I’m awake.”
“Good,” Anna smiled as she kissed him again.
“I love waking up to that,” he opened his eyes now.
“I like doing it,” she kissed him one more time. Then she got out of bed and walked around to Taylor’s side. She sat next to him and rubbed his stomach. “Taylor,” she spoke lightly. Even as quietly as she had said his name, he would recognize his mother’s voice anywhere and his eyes fluttered opened. He immediately smiled after yawning. He reached out for her and she picked him up laughing and threw him in the air and caught him. He was wide awake and laughing too.
“Do you have morning hugs and kisses for mommy?” Taylor nodded his head and an hugged her neck tightly, and then puckered his lips dramatically like any 3 year old would.
