Looking over at Elijah sitting in the recliner, I know Shayna is right. My boy needs me; he looks so lost right now. Or us rather, he needs us, whether he or my precious-girl knows it or not. We’re all connected, and it’s more than solely by me. “Eli, come here,” I say softly.

Hesitantly, he walks over and hovers over me next to the couch. “Lay down. Come on, it’s fine.” I pat the cushion in front of me as I scoot back even more into the back of the sofa. Shayna angles her crossed legs a little so that my head rests comfortably in between.

Eli glances up at Shayna, then his eyes roam to the space in front of me before coming back to look me in the eyes. “A…are…um…are you sure?” he asks so quietly I barely hear him.

Instead of speaking, I keep my eyes locked with his and rub the cushion down by my belly, hoping he’ll take the hint and lay next to me. With one more quick glance at Shayna, he lays down next to me but facing the TV. He’s stiff and tension is rolling off of him. Trying to soothe him, not just from the disaster of the day, but from the uniqueness of the situation, I loop my arm around the front of him and pull in tight while rubbing down the length of his scar through his shirt.

When Shayna reaches out with her right hand and runs it across the top of his head and murmurs, “Relax,” I feel him shudder before sinking back into me. We lay quietly watching the movie. I continue to rub across Elijah’s scars as Shayna strokes his hair back from his face and rubs down my side with her other hand. It would be peaceful enough to fall asleep if not for how loud the movie is rumbling through the room

Eventually, Elijah turns toward me while keeping his gaze fixed in the vicinity of my chest. As he pushes up to turn, I lay flat so that he can settle back down with his head resting just below my chin. Shayna moves her hand to the back of his head, and I know she’s squeezing the back of his neck. It’s one of her favorite moves, and one I’m rather fond of myself. With the exception of turning to face me, Elijah has stiffened back up since he turned. I pull his arm over my waist and bring his legs in to tangle with mine. Adjusting here and there so that all three of us are comfortable.

Shayna slides her hand up to run her fingers down the side of my face. Meeting her gaze, her lips barely tilt up as she murmurs once again, “Take care of your boy. It’s okay, I promise. I know how you feel about me.”

With another small grin, I bring my arm from around Elijah long enough to bring it up and wrap it around the back of Shayna’s neck to pull her down for a brief, but necessary, kiss.
