TOTGA Chapter 20 Update on TWCS
Edward and his children, they played in the living room and
watched some television after their brinner, as Lucy called it. Her logic was
infallible. “Breakfast and lunch is called ‘brunch,’ so breakfast and dinner
shall be called ‘brinner,’” she said with a nod of her head.
Edward kept them up a little past their bedtime since he
truly had missed them, their laughter and innocence. When he did tuck them into
bed, he spent the time reading them a bedtime story. Lucy fell asleep, her face
pressed against his arm. Liam was wide awake and stubbornly trying to wheedle
more time with his dad. “Come on, bud. Your sister is drooling on me and you
have school tomorrow. Not to mention, you’re still recovering from that stomach
thing.”
“Can’t I stay up with you, Dad?” Liam pleaded, pouting
adorably.
“No, kid. Come on. I was a bad parent and kept you up a half
hour past your bedtime,” Edward said as he frog-marched Liam to his bedroom.
Liam grumbled as he clambered into his bed. “I love you, Liam. Have sweet
dreams.” Edward kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair.
“Love you, too, Dad,” Liam smiled crookedly.
Edward flipped on the nightlight and slipped out of the
room. He checked on Lucy again, kissing her forehead and then went to his
bedroom. Despite his nap, he was still bushed. He had every intention of using
the time that the kids were at school to catch up sleep. Well, after he called
Jenks and spoke to Charlie. But, first he had to call Bella. He hadn’t talked
to her since she had left. They’d exchanged texts, but he was so swamped at
work that he couldn’t call her. “I’m such a lousy fucking boyfriend,” Edward
sighed, scrubbing his hands through his messy hair. “No wonder Tanya dumped my
ass. I’m never home.”
