Falling for You Was Out of My Control

“Andrei please,” I shifted the little boy in my arms as he cried pushing away his milk, “just this last little bit and then your are done.”
“He tired,” Evgeni sat down on the arm of the chair and took the bottle from my hand, “just let him sleep.”
“I just really want him to finish it,” I groaned in frustration, “he needs to if he is going to make it through this whole thing.”
“He will, doctor says he strong,” Evgeni ran his hand through Andrei's short brown hair.

He said something in Russian and took Andrei from me where he began pacing the room. It was hard to stay annoyed with my shirtless fiance walking back and forth in front of me, our little boy calm and curled up nuzzling into his chest.

“Want say goodnight?” he turned and smiled looking rather proud that he had gotten Andrei to quieten down so fast.
“You are so up yourself? You know your not as good as you think,” I couldn't stop myself from smiling back as I got up to give Andrei a kiss on the forehead.

He put Andrei down in his cot carefully trying not to wake him, it was the only way we could get him to sleep there otherwise it was back to our bed.

“I am good, I am best,” he spoke quietly as he followed me out of the nursery and closed the door behind us.
“You aren't,” I scoffed.
“Am. I get Andrei sleep and you,” he grabbed my hand and spun me around, “I get you.”
“Yeah you are the best, a very smart man,” I laughed as he wrapped his arms tightly around me.

“You know what I could go for right now?” I linked my hand with his as we walked back downstairs.
“What?”
“A hot chocolate.”
“Mm good idea, you go sit,” he stole a kiss before leading me into the lounge room.

I laid on the couch and stared up at the roof while I waited for Evgeni to come back.

“We not have marshmallows,” he frowned as he walked back in with a plate with some cake on it and a mug in the other hand.
“Aww mud cake?” I sat up.
“Yes know is your favourite,” he handed the cake over and set the cup down on the coffee table, “careful is hot,” he gave me a kiss.

He ducked back out and returned with his before moving my feet out of the way and set my legs over his lap.

“You know we haven't had a night like this in a long time,” I stated as I relaxed into the pillow behind me.
“I know not believe he actually sleeping now,” he ran his hand up and down my calf.
“Hopefully it is the first of many nights.”

I had been a little reluctant to put Andrei in his cot to sleep. He hated it at first but he was so tired he gave in before we even left the room. Which for him was a big deal.

“We have night alone now,” he smiled taking my plate away.
“Well in a way we are alone but technically we aren't...” he stopped my rambling with a searing kiss.

“What was that for?” I put my hands on his chest to stop him from kissing me again while I caught my breath.
“I miss you,” he shrugged and went to go in for another.
“Wait.”
“What?” he curled his eyebrow at me.
“We have to be quiet,” I reminded him.
“I can do quiet, not know about you,” he smiled cheekily.
“Oh really?” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back down to me.
“You kill me,” he growled.
