Sighing, she got up and rocked Billy back and forth which made the little boy tired again. She placed him in his bassinet and walked out to see her husband at the big round table with a huge map on it that was the room next to their's.
"Darling?" He asked, why is she up? He wondered.

"Let's go back to bed, yeah?"
He nodded and they walked to their bedroom together.
