"Why is Mummy still sleeping?"

"She's tired, Mace."

"But she's been sleeping for so long!"

"She'll wake up soon."

"Can I open her eyes?"

"No."

"Just a tiny bit?"

"No, Mimi."

"I promise I'll close it back. I just wanna open it a tiny bit for one minute."

"No Mimi."

"She issss!"

"Lower down you voice, Mace."

"She is! She is!" Mimi jumps up and down as Mason directs his index finger towards me.

The huge man turns around with a shocked face, murmuring, "She really is."

"Mummy you're awakeeee!" Mimi is already sitting on the bed next to me as Mason runs towards us.

"You sleep too long, Mummy!" She frowns as she lies down next to me that I smile and quickly pull her into my embrace, "I miss you so much, Baby."

"What about me?" Mason jumps in as I open my arms wider so he can join our hug.

"I miss you too, Mace. So much.
