You're Beautiful To Me

Five days later I am allowed to go home, feeling a lot better but my chest is still a little tender so the doctor tells me to take it easy and not do any heavy lifting. Frank comes to pick me up, helping me out to the car and the whole drive home he keeps my hand clutched in his, my fingers curled through his and at every red light he turns to me with a massive smile on his face, leaning over to press a soft kiss to my lips. When we get home I go to get out of the car and Frank runs around to help me but I shake him off and say "Baby I can walk, it's ok." Frank steps back and nods, smiling sheepishly and once I'm out of the car I reach out and take his hand, walking inside together and when I open the front door I hear two little excited squeals before Anna comes running out of the living room towards me, screaming out "Daddy" as I drop to my knees, letting her run into my chest and I scoop her up off the floor, crushing her in a hug and pressing soft kisses all over her face. "Hello my beautiful girl" I greet her as I glance over and see Miles crawling towards us as fast as he can, a massive smile on his face so I put Anna back on her feet and reach out for him when he's close enough, giving him the same treatment that I just have Anna. "How's my handsome little man today?" I ask and he babbles to me, his little hand coming up to pat my cheek and I can't help the smile stretching my face so much it hurts. After I drag myself off the floor, taking Miles with me he snuggles against my chest while Frank scoops Anna up and we all go into the living room, finding Mikey laying on the floor where the kids left him and when Anna spots him she squirms down out of Franks arms and runs over to Mikey, diving on top of him and elbowing him before erupting into giggles as he playfully wrestles with her and tickles her sides. I turn to Frank, seeing him smiling sheepishly as he says "So Anna kinda watched wrestling with us the other day and..." "Oh Frank" I playfully scold him before turning back to Mikey and Anna who are still rolling around on the floor together, both of them giggling like crazy and Miles lets out an impatient noise so I put him down, watching him crawl over and try to join in on the fun.

Later that afternoon Miles is down for a nap and Anna and I are curled up on the recliner couch together, Anna drinking a bottle of juice and playing with the buttons on my shirt as Frank and I watch a movie. "Hey baby" Frank calls out softly and I turn my head to look at him, sending him a smile and he smiles back as he says "I'm so happy to have you home." "Happy" Anna chirps out so I tilt my head down to look at her, my smile stretching even wider. "Are you happy beautiful?" I ask and she smiles back at me as she says "Happy" again. I lean down to press a soft kiss to her forehead and when I sit back again she lets out a little whine, shifting in my lap as she purses her lips and I chuckle as I lean back down and press a kiss to her lips, Anna kissing back and covering me in slobber. "Thanks baby" I say to her and she giggles before putting the bottle back to her mouth and finishing her juice, my attention turning back to the movie and by the time it's over Anna is snoring softly against my chest, my arms wrapped tight around her little body as I feel ready for a nap myself.
