You open the door, taking off your coat and hat, hanging it up before moving to pull off your shoes. You couldn't hear anyone, so you assumed they had left or not gotten home yet. You knew Rosemary and Linda should be out with the twins, and Sophie is with Jenny, so that leaves… “ Jackie! “ you hear Felix say from the stairs. You grin up at him, “ Hi mi amor, how was your day? “, you knew today was slow, raining and storming but it was a routine for the two of you. “ It's been okay.. I took a nap after the girls took the twins out. Couldn't sleep well last night.. “, you nodded in acknowledgement, going up the stairs to wrap your arms around his waist. “ Still having nightmares? “, Felix just nods before leaning his head onto your chest. You hum and rub his back. “ Let's go cuddle on the couch, hm? “ , you let him go but take his hand to lead Felix to the couch. Felix sits down, putting his legs in a criss cross. You grab his blanket, sitting beside him and wrapping the blanket around the two of us. He leans against you again, nuzzling into your abdomen. You begin to pet his hair, gently running your fingers through it. You always loved this, the quiet, the soft nuzzling against my stomach and his soft hair between my fingers. You could never get enough of this feeling.
You wake up with a big yawn, still on the couch, you can hear Felix’s soft snoring to your left. You chuckle lowly before slowly getting up, stretching out your limbs, many of your bones cracking in the process. It seems to have woken Felix up, “ Old man.. “ he says, full of sleep. You give him a soft, playful glare. This only makes him pout and grab at you. “ Words? “ you tell him. “ Cuddle..” he says, small. You sit back down, pulling the blanket back over you and pulling Felix close to you. You were never sure about the small voice, but it seemed to somewhat help Felix. You never minded, caring for him was something you loved. In general or when he was small. You begin to pet his hair again, humming softly to him. You knew he would fall asleep again, but it would give you at least an hour or so to cook dinner. Which you needed to do, it looked late, probably 5pm or almost 5.
