Night In The New Home

[Jason Camden]

Jason finished brushing his teeth in the bathroom and looked into the mirror. He liked this house, though it was not their own yet. Everyone was in and had a room, they were all in bed. He had noticed that the new girls seemed to be dealing with this alright. The blonde one, Skyle, she was as helpful as anyone expected her to be really but he could see the other one, Angela, being a problem. She obviously didn't want to be here with anyone and he knew this would hurt his wife. Nelly couldn't resist helping all children who had had hard lives, that's what their own life was all about really. Helping those that nobody else wanted.

Jason ran his hand through his hair before leaving the on-suite bathroom and entering his new bedroom. They had left the master bedroom, the room of the poor man who had died here, alone. They didn't even want to go there, that was his resting place and they wouldn't take that away from the girls. Just like they hadn't asked them to move bedrooms or share with anyone.

Jason looked around his room and grinned widely, all thoughts of the children and mans death long gone. His beautiful wife was sat on their bed in her pajamas. She was still the most beautiful thing he knew of. She was his life after all. Sure, they had the children, but the weren't really theirs, they were just looking after them and standing in for now, but Nelly, Nelly was his and his alone. He bounced over to the bed and sat behind her, his head in the crook of her neck. "Hello beautiful." He grinned and kissed his wife's neck softly, the way she liked it.

Nelly fumbled around the room, tidying odd bits up as she went. There were still a lot of boxes lying around that needed unpacking, but that was for another day, she was exhausted from the day she'd had. She had been starting to feel her age recently, although she was only 48 she had had it tough in the last few years. She could see it settling out soon though, of course after a good few months of getting to know the new additions to the family.

She climbed into bed, sitting up away from the pillows just gazing around the room taking in the day. She pulled up the duvet over her knees and hugging them to her. She smiled and sighed softly, this was going to be a new beginning, a good new beginning. And she was serenely happy about it, and quietly excited!

Nelly gazed over through the open door to the en-suit where her husband was getting ready to join her. As he walked through she contained a grin, letting it out as a sideways smile. She reached around his neck and stroked the back of his head as it lay on her's, "Hello, all fresh and shiny now?" Turning around to kiss him.
