It was the 4th time this week that Charlie had woken up in the middle of the night to Bella screaming. He had just come back from comforting her to you being awake. “Baby, why’re you up?” he asked, settling back into bed beside you. “It’s hard to stay asleep when my step-daughter is sobbing, Honey.” you whisper, scratching the nape of his neck as he pulls you closer. “I know, I know. I just…. don’t know what to do about her nightmares anymore.”
