Bunnies Over Babies
Wife chewed her lower lip softly as she stared at his sleeping form. The way his chest heaved when he breathed looked violent and forceful. Like he was angry, even in his sleep. She walked away from him and went to peek at the baby, safe and equally asleep in his tiny crib. Her heart lurched with the affection that had been absent in the stare she had fixed on the baby's sleeping father. She touched his sweet little face and almost couldn't wait to play with him when she got back home in the evening. She then tiptoed back to her husband's side and nudged him with her handbag. He used to be a light sleeper but these days, it took more than a nudge to get him up. Husband blinked his bleary eyes to focus them then said "oh you're ready for work. Wait, let me wear my clothes and open the gate so i can escort you to the bus stop"
