Chapter 3

I couldn't go back to sleep after my nightmare last night. I woke Trenton up after he turned his alarm off and tried to go back to sleep. He's getting ready for work and I am wondering if I should tell him about my dreams.

No.

No, I shouldn't cause doubt in his mind over me just simply going crazy.

Trenton had his work clothes on and is putting his boots on. All I can think is of how horny I am. I want to run to him and drop to my knees and slowly remove his pants. But he would be late for work or would tell me to stop so he isn't. I decide it's best to just leave it alone.

He turned to me and smiles. Oh, how this man makes me weak. I remember when we first met, those brown eyes. I am a sucker for them. I'm a sucker for Trenton, period. He's the love of my life, the father of my children and my best friend.

He walks to me and kisses my forehead and says he'll see me this evening. I tell him I love him and to be safe. He smiles and walks out the front door, locking it behind him.

The babies are still asleep so I sneak to the kitchen to fix me a cup of coffee. As I'm standing at the counter, I look out our big kitchen windows. Four window windows side by side, ceiling to floor. I stare into the woods, just dazed out.

I blink and remember I need to call my doctor later to set up an appointment for some anti depression and anxiety medication. It's the only logical explanation to my silly dreams. I have a 6 month old baby and ppd is not kind to me. So this would explain my dreams also. I'm the primary parent and also tend to the home. The dreams have to be a form of my mind escaping for a little break.

Baby blues. Thank God women can now get actual help for it instead of being labeled crazy.

I hear my babies starting to wake up so I go back in the room with them. I get the morning routine started and we go about our day.

My cellphone starts ringing, I see it's my mom.

Me- Hey mama

"Hey baby, what are y'all up to today?"

Me- nothing really, just being lazy today. I haven't been sleeping well.

"Do you need help? I can come watch the babies for you to nap. If you want. If not, just make sure you make Trenton help more at night so you can get some rest."

Me- he does help mama but he also works

But yes, please come watch the babies for me to get a little nap. I'm so exhausted.

"Okay baby,I'm sorry I'm meddling. I just want to make sure you're not being used. I'll be there in about 45 minutes."

Me- okay mama, be safe

That woman drives me so insane but I am so thankful for her help. I might finally get some sleep.

Once mama is here, I go lay down in my bed. It doesn't take long for sleep to take my mind away.

I wake up to the sound of Trenton coming in our bedroom. Apparently, I needed a lot of sleep.

I jump up and ask the time and if the babies are okay.

He tells me it's 6:38 and the babies are okay.

I didn't dream.... I just slept. That's odd. Maybe my brain realized how crazy I was getting so it decided I didn't need to dream anymore.

Then it hits me, I haven't made supper and I don't know what the kids have eaten and I need to fix supper. Trenton comes and grabs my shoulders and looks in my eyes and hugs me after. He said he brought home pizza after speaking with my mom. I signed in relief and and smiled.

Thank you, baby! I lost track of time and didn't realize I'd sleep so long.

"It's okay, love. I know you're tired and being home with the babies can get to you. Let's go get a bite to eat and then YOU get a bubble bath"

I could t stop smiling. This man is so good to me.

After we've eaten, the babies are in living area with Trenton and I draw a hot bubble bath. I make sure to close the curtains hung over the bathroom window.

I sink down in the hot water and sigh out in relief. I raise up some to look grab my razor and I hear a howl. I jump and drop the razor and hop out of the tub. I grab a towel and run to living area where Trenton is with the babies. He said to watch the babies and that he'd be back. He grabbed the shotgun and went outside to shoot at a certain tree. He's basically scaring off whatever just howled like that. We have had our fair share of coyotes and the gunshot always scares them off. We don't want to kill them but sometimes we have to if they try to get inside the fenced area.

Trenton walks back in and said whatever it was should be gone now.

I go back to my bath and sink back in. I look up to the window and get confused. I thought I closed the curtains earlier? I'm losing it.

I get up to go close them and I hear a growl and see red rust colored eyes outside the window.....
