Work Text:
Waking to the noise of feet running down the hall with pitched voices hushing each other, the creek of your shared bedroom door added to the mix. Sitting up, turning on the light next to you shows all four of the kids standing in the door frame, all dressed in nightwear, some hugging stuffed toys.
"What are you guys doing? What's wrong?" You say sleepily to the nervous children. "Can we sleep in bed with you?" Vi speaks up for the group.
"We got scared," Powder says next, softening your heart further. Just as you nodded, Vander wakens, but it was too late for his say as they all climbed in. "What?" Vander asks confusedly, but the kids tuck themselves in, the girls cozying up to you while the boys nearly push Vander out of his bed.
Already planning the morning out, knowing you'll need to make Vander a big steaming pot of coffee, maybe even running the last drop for the first hour to let him sleep in without the kids, of course.
Just as they fell asleep, Vander sat up, seeing the labyrinth that is his bed. Hearing him sigh loudly, which received a shush from Mylo. Accepting defeat, hearing the bed creek as he lay back down, pulling the covers over the kids before cuddling them close.
