“Are you sleeping?” Jesse asked a few days later. His tone belied his disbelief. “It’s almost 4:00. In the afternoon!”

Carly let out a loud, unapologetic yawn into her phone. “Yes, I was sleeping. I didn’t get home until after 7:00 this morning.”

She stretched as she tried to blink herself awake. The ringing of her phone had pulled her from a deep sleep. She hadn’t been avoiding Jesse completely but she had let Margo’s words get to her. She hated the fact that her mom had been right about one thing. She did have a habit of bouncing from one relationship to the next. A few days away from Jesse had been good for her. She realized that she missed him in a way that she never had before.

She was met with a brief silence. Then in a measured tone Jesse said, “You were out all night.”

She smiled at the jealousy she heard there. “I sure was.”

When she was met with another round of silence she decided to quickly end whatever thoughts Jesse was surely coming to. No more games. But teasing for a few minutes had been fun.

“I stayed at Quinn and Luke’s,” she explained. “They are both so wiped out lately. I offered to stay, since I’m a night person and them…well, not so much. I took care of the girls, both of them,” she said proudly. “All night. So Quinn and Luke could finally sleep all night. I didn’t sleep at all because I swear if one of those girls wasn’t awake, the other one was. And sometimes they both were.”

She could hear the smile in his voice when he said, “You stayed up all night taking care of babies?”

“Yes,” she said, smiling back. “It was exhausting but so worth it. I haven’t spent that much time with them before.”

He chuckled. “I bet Quinn and Luke really appreciated that.”

Carly smiled. “Oh, yeah. You have no idea.”

When she had first offered to watch the twins for a little bit, she’d told them she wanted to do it so they could go out. Like a date night.

“We don’t want to go out,” Luke had said dully.

“We want to sleep,” Quinn had clarified.

So instead of her initial offer of a few hours, she’d changed that offer to overnight. Carly had nearly had to beg, proving that she wanted to do it for herself as much as she wanted to do it for them. Yes, she thought they deserved some sleep. But she also really wanted to see her nieces. And if she could make that happen and help Quinn and Luke out, why not?

Quinn had wandered downstairs once. Carly had not been able to physically banish her because she’d been pinned down in the rocking chair, a baby in each arm. But she’d verbally shooed her sister away, assuring Quinn that she had it under control.

And while it had been tiring, she’d loved every second of it.

When her sister had shuffled into the kitchen early this morning, she looked more rested than Carly had seen her since the start of winter break.
