SLAM !!! he jerked up from his sleep upon hearing the noise. what could that be?
“SHIT!” mommy yelled out, and then the little boy heard a light thump, followed by suppressed sobs. and he knew something was wrong.
rubbing his cold,wet cheeks, he stood up and readied himself for investigation. slowly crawling out of his crib, made his way over to the door,and peeked out. mommy was sprawled on the blue plaid couch,crying into a pillow. the little boy waddled out to mommy on unsteady legs. on the way, he tripped over a pile of clothes and hit his head on a chair that should have been over by the table. pain overwhelmed him and he started to cry. mommy looked up finally. next thing he knew, the boy was in mommys arms, when he started to cry a bit more. mommy sat on the couch, still gripping on her little boy. mommy looked down at him and kissed him almost absentmindedly.
“it’s been a rough night for you too, huh?”, she whispered. he cuddled into her, and sniffled.
finally, he fell asleep. again.
