She found herself wanting both kids with her after the night before—a feeling that surprised her. Burying herself in them helped her not to think about what had put her in this situation. The distraction probably wasn’t ideal, but it was welcome anyway. They all slept a little later than usual, Ella in Anna’s bed and Toby in his cot. For a little girl, Ella took up a lot of space. Anna had had an elbow, foot or bony knee digging into her back at some point all through the night. When Toby’s babbling woke Anna sometime just after eight, she wandered through to get him. His face splitting into a grin when he saw her, he was standing up in his cot, hands clinging to the side, his hair spikey and mussed. “Morning, little man.” Anna pulled his pacifier out and dropped it in the cot. Thankfully enough, he barely flinched, still staring up at her. Once he was in her arms, he immediately dropped his head into her neck, melding himself to her for morning cuddles.
