"Mommy! Daddy!"
Huck's shrill cries filled the air, and Andy startled awake.
"Mommmmmmmy!"
He must have been having another nightmare. He'd been having them more frequently lately, ever since his sister had told him that there were monsters living under his bed.
With a sigh of resignation, she threw off the covers, only to realize that Toby was already out of bed and pulling on a pair of pajama pants. "I can go," she told him, knowing he had dealt with Molly's crisis the night before. It was her turn tonight.
He shook his head. "I've got it."
"You're sure?"
"Yeah."
Flopping back down onto her pillow, she listened to his footsteps echoing down the hallway. There was a creak as he pushed the kids' bedroom door open, and then the low quiet rumble of his voice as he spoke softly to Huck. She heard Huck's childish voice answer back and then another quiet response from Toby.
Whatever he said that second time must have done the trick because within moments he was crawling back under the covers and spooning her from behind.
"Everything ok?" she asked.
"Yeah. Monsters," he mumbled, his lips brushing against her neck.
"Do you want to talk to Molly about her tall tales tomorrow or shall I?" she asked.
He placed a small kiss beneath her ear. "You can do it." He kissed her neck again, his lips lingering just a moment longer this time. "Why do you think I volunteered to get out of bed tonight?" he asked, chuckling.
"I should have known," she said, turning over and smiling at him in the dark. "You gonna protect me from the monsters that lurk under our bed?"
"You think I'm that good?" he asked, rolling her beneath him.
"I know you are," she answered, pulling him down to her and kissing him.
