I was on the edge of slumber until a small weight bounced on my lower abdomen making me groan.

"Papa!" "Daddy!" "It's Summer! And almost Christmas!"

"Your child's awake babe," Justin whispered.

"Yours too," I whispered back.

"It's before 9 o'clock," He whispered making me whine.

I opened my eyes slowly to see Jake still jumping on my side of the bed.

"Jakey, what happened to sleep-in Sunday?" I asked.

He stopped jumping and started thinking.

"Oh, well it's almost christmas! And it's summer!" He shrieked happily jumping onto my chest as I sat up.

"Yes baby, I know. I'm excited too but daddy's trying to sleep, your brother has been keeping him up all night," I explained.

He frowned and then looked at Justin who was already looking back.

"Sorry daddy," He whispered placing his lips on Justin's cheek softly.

"It's alright baby," He smiled.

He then crawled down to Justin's stomach and put his face against it.

"Baby bro, you can't keep daddy up all night, it's not good," He whispered making us smile.

I chuckled, if he only knew that when he was born.

"Hey Bub, are you hungry?" I asked.

He lifted his head up and nodded.

"Alright, let's go downstairs and make breakfast while daddy sleeps, yeah?"

"Yeah," He sat before jumping off the large bed.

I got up and stood up stretching. I turned around and leaned across the bed to Justin.

"Sleep baby, we'll be downstairs," I whispered to Justin.

"Thank you," He smiled sleepily.

I nodded placing a kiss on his temple before pulling the blanket up.

I quickly made a run to the toilet before meeting Jake at the door.

I reached my hand out for him to grab it. Before I quietly shut the door, Jake spoke up.

"Papa wait!" He whispered loudly.

He let go of my hand before running into the room again.

I watched as he tried to climb on top of the bed, making faces before he finally made it.

He crawled over across the bed before kneeling in front of Justin.

"Goodnight daddy," He whispered patting Justin's hair making me laugh quietly.

It is very much morning.

"Mm goodnight Bub," Justin whispered back.
