Sarah couldn't believe what she had just heard from her kids. Tonight, the two kids really surprised her.
She thought the word family meeting was enough to surprise her, but there was something that surprised her even more.
The kids want to sleep not only with Michael, but with her?!
Sarah turned to Michael, to see if this was actually the man's plan. He could have said something like that to the kids without her knowledge, right?
However, Michael's facial expression was as surprised as she was. Making Sarah think the man was completely innocent
Like Sarah, Michael couldn't believe what he had just heard from his kids. However, that facial expression immediately turned into a smile.
He didn't know why his kids suddenly thought this way, but deep down, Michael praised his kids for doing a good job.
"Mommy?" Gabriel called when he saw Sarah not saying anything.
Unlike before, Sarah immediately agreed to their request. So, seeing his Mommy who just kept quiet made him a little confused.
Sarah cleared her throat which suddenly felt dry.
"Okay, you can sleep with Daddy tonight, and sleep with Mommy the next day," Sarah said softly, deliberately repeating her words and hoping the kids would be persuaded by it.
However, the two kids shook their heads.
"Noo Mommy, we want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy," Gabriel said, clarifying his words.
Raphael nodded, agreeing with his brother's words.
Sarah sighed, it seemed her kids had really grown up so they couldn't be fooled in that way anymore.
"We can't do that," Sarah answered softly. "The bed is not wide enough for you, Mommy and Daddy to sleep on," Sarah continued trying to make an excuse that made sense.
The faces of the two immediately changed when they heard that. The bed wasn't wide enough for them to sleep on?
They really want to sleep together with their Daddy and Mommy, though.
"Not really."
Suddenly, the voice of a grown man rang out, making the three people stare straight at him.
"The bed in Daddy's room is very spacious and we can sleep on it," Michael said with a smile.
He didn't know why Sarah thought the bed wasn't big enough, but Michael was pretty sure it was enough for the four of them.
Six years ago, there was still plenty of space left when he and Sarah slept there, and adding two small kids to sleep there was no problem at all.
The twins' faces immediately looked relieved when they heard that. Their expressions again look excited and happy. Glad they could sleep with their Daddy and Mommy.
Sarah was also seen smiling, but her smile was clearly being forced. She then looked at Michael with a death stare, trying to curse the man with her gaze.
Michael was a little surprised when he saw Sarah's gaze. Why did Sarah see him like that?
It didn't take long for Michael to figure out why. It seems… Sarah was deliberately trying to avoid him again.
Well… Too bad! Tonight Michael won't let that happen. He will make his kids' wishes come true.
"So tonight we're all going to sleep in Daddy's room, right, Mommy?" Michael asked turning to Sarah with a smile.
The kids, who seemed happy to talk to each other, turned to Sarah when they heard the question. Both of them seemed to be waiting for an answer that would come out of Sarah's lips.
"No," Sarah answered firmly with a smile on her face.
The smiles on the faces of the two kids immediately disappeared when they heard that.
"Raphael and Gabriel are now big boys, you have to sleep alone and you can't sleep with Mommy anymore," Sarah continued trying to find an excuse that the kids could understand.
To be honest, even though she had sex with Michael, Sarah still felt that it wasn't right for her to share the same bed with Michael. It was true that they not gonna be alone because there would be kids between the two of them, but it would really feel very strange.
"But for today, you can sleep with Daddy. " added Sarah.
Sarah didn't know how her relationship with Michael would turn out, but she wasn't ready to sleep with him, much less in their room six years ago.
"Nooo… I'm not a big boy! I'm a baby!" said Gabriel starting to whine with tears in his eyes. He didn't expect that his Mommy would reject his suggestion.
"Gabriel! Why you're crying?!" said Sarah in a firm voice.
Meanwhile, Michael is increasingly convinced that Sarah is deliberately trying to avoid him.
"Why? We can do it just once," Michael said softly, trying to support his kids as he looked at Sarah.
"That's right, Mommy, just once," Gabriel said, holding up his index finger.
"No," Sarah answered firmly. She couldn't bear to see her son's expression, but Sarah knew that this was the best thing for her to do.
Tears immediately flowed down Gabriel's cheeks when he heard his Mommy's answer. Why doesn't Mommy agree to it?
"But why, Mommy?" asked Raphael, trying to remain calm even though he was really hurt by it.
"Our friends sleep with their Daddy and Mommy. We also want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy," said Raphael, explaining why they wanted to sleep with their Daddy and Mommy.
Sarah fell silent when she heard that. So this is the reason why her kids suddenly want to do this.
"We are not babies, but big boys, but when we were babies we never slept with Daddy and Mommy," the boy continued, trying to persuade his Mommy.
Once again, Sarah fell silent when she heard that. Her mouth was already open, eager to agree with them.
"Just do it, Sarah," Michael said, trying to persuade the woman.
At first, he had wanted to do it with ulterior motives, but after hearing Raphael's words, something seemed to pierce his heart.
Those words were like a blow to him.
Before Sarah opened her mouth, her eyes suddenly shifted when she heard the voice of a small kid in front of her.
"If Mommy is not gonna allow it, I'll be sulky! I won't go to school, I won't eat, I won't tidy up my toys. I'm going to be a bad boy!" Gabriel said in between sobs and then immediately got off the chair and ran to his room.
Raphael was a little surprised at his brother's exaggerated behavior. That looks really embarrassing! But for the sake of their solidarity, he seemed to have to follow that even though it was completely unlike him.
"Me too!"" Raphael said, then stood up and ran to his room.
Now, only Michael and Sarah were at the dinner table.
Sarah sighed. She never thought it would turn out like this.
"So… why do you insist on not agreeing to their request? It's not a difficult request," Michael said quietly, looking at Sarah gently.
Sarah sighed again when she heard the question.
"It is nothing. I just don't think there's a reason like that for them to want to do it," Sarah replied without turning to look at Michael.
Michael just smiled when he heard that. He knew Sarah wasn't being honest with him right now, but this time, he was going to let her.
"So what would you do? Why don't we just agree with it?" asked Michael gently.
***
As soon as he entered the room, Raphael immediately climbed into bed, approached his sleeping brother who was covering his face in the pillow.
"Hey, are you really sulky?" asked Raphael to be sure.
"Yes! I'm going to be a bad boy now!" Gabriel answered with his face still on the pillow. He's really pissed off with his Mommy!
"You're not going to eat?" asked Raphael, repeating his brother's words earlier.
"Yes!"
"Then can I eat your ice cream?" Raphael asked again, reminding Gabriel that there was ice cream in the fridge to eat tomorrow.
"No! You have yours! That is mine!" Gabriel answered raising his head and looked at his brother in annoyance.
"But you said you weren't going to eat," Raphael said, reminding his little brother.
"But… But…" Gabriel suddenly became so panicked that he couldn't continue his words. "But I didn't say I wasn't going to eat ice cream!" he answered after finding the words he had to say.
Before Raphael's voice could come out to reply to his brother's words. They heard their bedroom door open and the figures of Michael and Sarah enter it.
Quickly, Gabriel returned to his original position, sleeping on his stomach while covering his face with a pillow.
Raphael, who just joined in, couldn't help but do what his younger brother did even though he thought it looked very stupid and childish.
"Are you guys sleeping?" Sarah asked and sat on the edge of the bed next to Gabriel.
Meanwhile Michael decided to sit on the side close to Raphael.
Noticing someone sitting next to him, Raphael tried to peek by tilting his head. His eyes met Michael's as he did so.
"Daddy!" Raphael said without a sound the pestle immediately covered his face in the pillow again.
Michael just chuckled at his son's behavior then a few moments later, he saw his son staring back at him and this time, Michael was still looking at him with an expression like he was playing peek-a-boo!
Raphael again covered his face, then a few seconds later did it again. The father and son then subconsciously started playing peek-a-boo while laughing silently.
Unlike his brother who was playing with his Daddy, Gabriel didn't move at all and continued to cover his face with a pillow.
He was already determined to be a bad boy!
