Molly smiled, though her eyes were already getting heavy as her exhaustion became harder to fight. It was always easier for her to get to sleep when he was around. "If you think you can handle the monsters..." She fought another yawn, forcing her eyes open to look up at him. "Then I'd be happy to get some sleep." It never ceased to surprise her, how sweet he was. He always knew the right thing to do or say to make her feel better, although sometimes all it took was being near. "Have I ever told you how sweet my boyfriend is? You'd probably like him. He'll voluntarily sit through chick flicks and deal with kid problems for me."

Tad ran a hand through her hair lightly and smiled down at her. He chuckled lightly, giving her a nod, "I think I can handle the monsters." He kissed her lightly and looked back up to the screen and gave her a light squeeze. He let out another light laugh as she asked him about her boyfriend. "Oh yeah? I'm sure he's really nice. I'll have to meet him sometime." He kissed her one more time on the forehead, "Get some sleep, Molly. You'll feel much better after you do."

Molly smiled serenely, her eyes closed in the darkness. She could still see the light emanating from the tv screen, but it didn't bother her much. She was too tired and comfortable to even care about it. She tried to quiet her mind to the thoughts that never seemed to stop. The thoughts that would keep her awake at night as she questioned herself. She often wondered if she really was doing a good job with her son, if she was the mother she had always hoped she would be. Molly snuggled impossibly closer to him and slowly drifted asleep, her busy mind finally taking a much needed rest, even if it wasn't very welcomed.

Tad watched her as she fell asleep and smiled lightly. He knew that she was tired, but he hadn't expected her to fall asleep that quickly. She was so gorgeous, he really couldn't stand it. He watched the rest of the movie by himself, looking down and making sure she was heavily sleeping before he re-situated them, covering her up and crawling under the blanket himself laying next to her as he too fell asleep, facing her.

It wasn't often that she so willingly went to sleep when he was around, if only for the fact that she loved spending time with him, but sometimes she really couldn't help it. There wasn't a time when she felt more secure than when he was laying next to her. Molly stirred a bit when he got up to turn the movie off, taking his hand with a tiny smile when he laid down next to her before once again succumbing to the exhaustion that had been making her eyes heavy for days. It was only a few hours later when Julian began to toss and turn in his bed. It was the same time every night with him, it continued relentlessly, and Molly had begun to feel more and more hopeless as each day passed. It wasn't long before the little boy awoke, his heart beating fast in his chest and his blankets tangled at his feet. Julian let out a little desperate whimper, sitting up against the headboard of his bed. He brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, folding up as tight as he could get. "Mommy!" He called out into the darkness.

Tad awoke as the little boy hollered and licked his lips, hoping that he could help the young child. He kissed Molly behind the ear and moved out of the bed, trying not to disturb her from her sleep, but somehow he knew she would most likely wake up. He covered her back up and left the room to move into the hall and then to Julian's room. He opened the door slowly, "Julian?" he asked quietly, not wanting to scare him more. He made his way inside and sat on the end of the bed, giving him a soft smile. "It's alright buddy. What happened?"

Julian watched his bedroom door with wide eyes as the steps grew closer and closer. The door opened slowly and his eyes began to water when he realized it wasn't his mother coming for him. The little boy hugged himself tighter, feeling tiny and helpless in the dark. Julian sniffled, shaking his head. "Where's Mommy?" He whimpered, closing his eyes, causing a tear to fall. He was scared, that much was evident. "I want to see Mommy." With her absence, he began to think the worst, the fact that he had seen her mere hours before didn't matter to his young mind.

Tad was afraid of that. He wanted his mother. He'd hoped that he would be able to fix it himself. Maybe he still could, he shook his head lightly, "She's in her bed asleep. Come here, bud, it's okay." He held his arms open, hoping that he'd come to him, afraid that he'd scare him even more if he tried to pull him into a hug without his consent. He wanted to be able to fix this by himself so that Molly could get a little extra sleep that she needed dreadfully. He didn't know what else to say to help him, though.

Julian only stared at him for a moment, his blue eyes watching him skeptically. With the invitation of his open arms, Julian launched himself at Tad. He wrapped his small arms around his neck with unimaginable strength and let out a shaky breath. "Don't let her leave." He said, his voice a quiet plea, "Please don't let her leave." The words were a bit hard to understand, muffled by the man's neck and Julian's hysteria. It wasn't that Tad's embrace wasn't comforting to the little boy, he was just only focused on his bad dreams and the scary things that happened in them. Julian had grown attached to his mother's boyfriend over the months, there was no doubt about that.

Tad let his strong arms wrap around the boy as he launched himself into the hug. He shook his head and ran a large hand over the back of his head, "Shh, don't worry, Julian. She's not going anywhere. I promise you." He kissed the little boy on the temple and held him close, wondering why in the world he would be having nightmares about his mother leaving him. He held him closer than he had been holding Molly just minutes before and held him as he cried. He tried to comfort him a little more, starting to sing a few words from Safe & Sound, "Just close your eyes, the sun is going down. You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now. You and I'll be Safe and Sound." He rocked the boy gently and then got an idea. "Do you want to see her? You'll have to be really quiet..."

Julian listed to what Tad he to say, and he tried to believe what he had been told, but when the terrors that had often awaited him when he closed his eyes seemed so real, he had trouble coming from back from that scary world. "I don't like being scared." He whispered, hiccuping a little through the tears. Julian closed his eyes tightly, letting Tad's voice soothe him. It didn't really matter to the little boy the words that were sang, but the way they sounded proved to help him. With Tad's offer, he nodded rapidly, but made no move to remove himself from the hug. "Yeah." He replied, wiping his runny nose on his pajama sleeve.

Tad gently shook his head, "Yeah, being scared isn't fun. I don't like it either." He kissed the little boy's hair and stood, carrying him front the room effortlessly. He made his way to the other room and whispered into Julian's ear. "Don't forget, be really quiet." He licked his lips and carried him over to the bed, setting him on the floor beside his mother's side of the bed and squatted down behind him. "See. Safe and sound. She's staying right here." He ran a hand over his hair and looked at him, hoping this would help him somehow.

Julian gave an inaudible nod when he was reminded to be silent. Julian smiled and looked at his mother's sleeping form. He watched closely for the rise and fall of her chest, holding his own breath. When he saw that she was, in fact, breathing, he let out the breath he had been holding. He looked longingly at the bed in front of him. Even though he was feeling reassured that Molly was fine, he still didn't want to go back to his empty room. He glanced at Tad before bringing his hand up to cup his ear, "Can I stay?" He asked softly, his voice a quiet whisper. "Please?"

Tad watched the little boy as he watched his mother. He licked his lips and smiled, seeing the child seem to relax as he found his mother was perfectly fine. He hoped that this would solve the problem, but smiled at the little boy's question. "Of course," he whispered back. "You can sleep right in the middle so nothing can get you." he gave the boy one last kiss on the forehead before scooping him up in his arms again. He carried him to the other side and sat him gently down so he didn't disturb Molly. He then got into the bed himself, laying down, but resting on his elbow. He wasn't wearing a shirt, still, but he didn't see the harm in it. "Lay down, let me tuck you in."

Julian grinned when he learned he would be able to stay in the room with Tad and his mother. He hated being alone, more so when he had his bad dreams. It was when he was alone that the bad thoughts came to him the worst. It was unsettling how inquisitive and smart the boy was, yet illogical thoughts still plagued him in his dreams. In his waking hours, he could be a kid. But, it was when the lights went out that the worry began to encroach in his otherwise happy thoughts. Julian did as he was told, settling into the big bed with the soft sheets that smelled of his mom. The little boy laid on his stomach, resting his head on his folded arms he eyed Tad. "It's not me I worry about." He whispered.
