Epilogue: Back In The Olden Days-5

Sam had the phone up to his ear in the middle of a call. "Hey, yeah, yeah I got your text...Yeah, I know..." As the conversation continued, I retreated to the bathroom, grabbing my toothbrush to brush my teeth. Putting the toothbrush in my mouth first, I put my up in a high ponytail when Sam leaned against the frame of the door, watching me. "Yeah." I heard him say into the phone. Rinsing my brush and putting toothpaste on it, I started brushing my teeth, looking at him through the mirror. He walked forward, leaning against the second sink next to mine. The second sink in the bathroom was so unnecessary since he loved fighting with me over it in the mornings. He slid closer to me as I continued brushing my teeth, him listening to his manager on the phone. When his hand reached my waist, resting his flat palm on my skin, I stilled in brushing my teeth but continued a second later. He moved behind me, his hand moving to rest on my stomach before saying into the phone, "Can we reschedule?" I turned to look at him still brushing my teeth, confused. What? "Yeah, I don't care...I need to spend time with my family. Yeah. Yeah. Bye, now." Sam hung up the call just as I was finished my routine, I turned to face him. "Really?" "Yeah." He put his other hand on my stomach, pulling me against him. "Let me be with you guys and with you right now." "Sam-" He lifted me up and out of the bathroom without warning. I shrieked loudly before quickly cutting myself off and he froze at the sight of the little intruders at the doorway. Sam dropped me, looking at our kids. "Did we not say bed time?" "You said it. Didn't mean we did it." Lauren shot at him. "You little-" Lauren shrieked as Sam picked her up tossing her onto the bed. She laughed, and I turned to the other two. "What were you doing with mom?" Annabeth asked. I turned to Sam and he grinned. "We were having fun time." "I want fun time." Annabeth said. "You'll have fun time tomorrow when we go to London." "We're going to London?" Charlie's eyes went wide. "Can we go to that field like last time?" "Anything you want, bud." Sam smiled. "But you guys realize that if you want tomorrow to come quick you have to sleep, right?" Lauren and Annabeth were already out of the room but Charlie lingered, looking at his dad. "Dad?" He asked. "Yeah, son?" "You did really good today." Sam smiled. "On a scale of one to ten how good?" "Like, a million." Charlie said. Sam grinned, "You're going to do a million one day bud." Charlie returned his smile before yawning. I walked over to him, "See? Sleep for you." "Ok, night dad, night mom." I kissed him on the forehead as he went to his room. I looked down the hallway to see if their doors were all closed. I knew Lauren's was going to stay open just a fraction. She was afraid of the dark. "I forgot to tell you," Sam said as we crawled into bed after he brushed his teeth. "I got a call from the school and Charlie got in trouble the other day." "You're telling me this now?" I exclaimed. "It's not like the kid got suspended." "We don't want him to get suspended, Sam. We don't want him getting in trouble that could end up in him having a criminal record the second he turns thirteen." "That's in three years. By the he won't even be worrying about doing the wrong things he'll only be focused on girls." "He's your son, he already is focused on girls." I told him. "Really?" "Yes." "Really?" "Yes." I repeated. "Charlie?"
