Sleepless Nights

Quade moves towards the cribs. He picks up Nerine and Peony as they are fussing about. Galaxy is sleeping soundly. Valerian, also, sleeps through the night.

Mazarine walks into the room at the exact moment that Quade is putting them into his arms. She walks forward and takes Peony into her arms.

"You know we have to wake her up," Mazarine says sweetly. Quade nods, "We will. It is still early and we still have to wake up Valerian." "Let her sleep," Mazarine says kindly, "she will wake up soon." Quade nods and gets dressed.

Soon, the babies are lying quietly in bed while Galaxy dresses herself. Quade goes down to breakfast with the family while Galaxy starts feeding the babies.

After breakfast, Mazarine and Quade enter the room. Peony and Nerine are in Galaxy's arms. They are crying loudly while Valerian is sleeping soundly.

Mazarine grabs Nerine and Quade takes Peony. Galaxy groans tiredly and goes to pick up Valerian.
