with your husband's tattooed arms still wrapped around your waist you woke up in cold sweat, nightmares...again. your body trembling you removed Ivan's hands slowly trying not to wake him up and went to find something to comfort you which is coloring books.

You made your way to the living room then took the pack of coloring pencils and the coloring book then sat on the floor as you started coloring on the coffee table in the dim lit room

His POV

As soon I felt my arm getting moved I woke up patting the space beside where my wife was supposed to be sleeping but I found it empty I stood up wearing nothing but boxers as I made my way to the only place where I know I'll find my wife at this time of the night I made my way to the living room and I was right, there she was in her pyjamas, sitting on the floor with her coloring pencils in hand focused on the coloring book

I saw her red swollen eyes, her hands trembling slightly while she moved the pencils over the book

I sigh quietly and made my way to her as I pick her up causing her to gasp slightly and sat down on the couch putting her on my lap

"You wanna color my tattoos instead with those washable markers I got you?"

I ask my voice hoarse and my eyes holding deep adortion and care in them as I rub her back hoping to calm her down
