Roman opened the book and cleared his throat and began reading. "Dinosaurs are special, they are one of a kind." He flipped the page and read some more, before flipping again. "They come in all shapes and sizes, and they are so divine." He flipped another page, his eyes looking to Zadia and Tino who were already snoring lightly. "If you ever find a dinosaur, keep it inside, so everyone doesn't know and you can keep it confined in your heart at all times." He shut the book, pushing it away.
A yawn came from his mouth while looking at the two bodies that laid next to him. Tino fell asleep on his back and in his right hand, there was a fistful of Zadia's locs. His small chest rose and fell with each breath he took. Zadia's lips were slightly parted and her left hand stayed on Tino's belly.
She looked different when she slept, her muscles relaxed.
Roman looked back and forth at the two, debating if he should wake Zadia up. He sighed, shaking his head, she was just as sleepy as he was and she did watch Tino the entire day. The least he could do was let her sleep. He then debated on whether to carry them back in the room and then shook his head, not liking how much work it was.
Plus, he wasn't about to touch her without her permission... That would be weird. At least that's what he told himself, even though he had done it before.
Another yawn came from his mouth and he placed his hand on the bed, grabbing one of the longer and thicker blankets. He laid down on his back and draped the sheet over the three of them, his drowsy eyes finally closing.
From the other side of the room, the cat meowed and he sighed sleepily. "Come." He commanded and she did, walking over and settling herself where they laid. She slept right under his feet, protectively.

When morning came, Roman felt his watch vibrate, the vibration prying him out of his sleep. He pressed the stop button on the watch and groaned, before rolling over to his side. From there he was met with a small butt shielded by a diaper in his face and confusion echoed through his body. The memories of last night came flooding back in and he raised his head, looking at the outcome.
Tino slept in the fetal position, his head laying on Zadia's chest and his butt in the air. The baby sucked on his tiny fist, probably using it as a way to get through the night. Instead of sleeping on her side, Zadia was now on her back, her legs spread out awkwardly because of the cat that now slept underneath her. Her arms were stretched out wide, the left one just inches away from Roman's face.
Roman frowned a bit, noticing how close Tino and Zadia had moved to his side during the night. With his eyes still on them, he stood up, careful to not wake them up. The cat noticed his movements and opened her eyes, ready to follow him into the bathroom. "Stay." He grumbled lowly, shutting the door behind him. From there he had showered. When he stepped out of the tub, his body wet with water, he wrapped a towel over his waist and did his hygiene routine. This included brushing his teeth and then flossing right after. When it came down to his teeth, Roman was obsessed with it being perfect.
He made sure to visit the dentist regularly and flossed nearly five times each day. Fuck everyone else's teeth, his teeth were a part of his temple and as part of his temple, it had to be perfect. When he finished, he brushed his hair forward and made a mental note to visit his barber soon. He checked his nails to see if they needed a trim, but as usual, they were naturally perfect.
Opening the bathroom door, hot steam was let out as he walked quietly to his closet and picked out a suit to wear, along with some socks. He shut the door so he could change in there privately, but not before applying lotion against his skin.
He stepped out of the closet, fully dressed now. A pair of Perry Ellis leather shoes graced his feet, matching the color of his suit. Black and brown, his favorite colors. While he put some Cologne on, he nipped his lips looking at his bed. He made his bed every morning after his routine, but couldn't today because Zadia and Tino were on the floor with his sheets.
