“Caleb, wake up.” You’re shaking the man, trying your best to get him to open his eyes. He’s had such a long day at work, and any other day you’d be understanding. If your situation was any different, you’d let him sleep all he wants.
“I’m– Awake!” Caleb is usually alert, but he hasn’t gotten enough sleep. It takes him a little longer to wake up these days. His three little ones and pregnant wife wear him out, of course he’s exhausted.
“I want soft serve ice cream.” You tell him as a long yawn escapes his lips. Through the yawn he mumbles “Anything else?” and you take a second to think about it. “Don’t wake up Elias or you’ll have to take him with you.”
“What’s up with him?” He asks as he searches for his wallet. He’s noticed the young one has gotten unusually clingy but hasn’t actually asked about it. One day the three-year-old claimed to be independent but something switched overnight.
“He’s mad he won’t be the youngest anymore.” You answer, and Caleb lets out a chuckle.
“He’ll change his mind once she’s here.” Caleb says, and you hum in response. This is what usually happens with your boys; one day they’re upset about the new addition to the household, then the next they love their sibling.
“Oh, can you mix in some pickles with that?” You have a sudden vision, and Caleb almost gags. The poor man has to endure the nastiest cravings during your pregnancy, but it’s the least he can do after putting you in this situation– He wanted to try for a girl after three little boys so the least he can do is get you the nasty food.
“Did we run out of–”
“Yes.” You answer the question, knowing exactly what he’s about to say.
“I’ll stop and get some then.” He nods. It’s just for a few months, then he won’t have to do craving runs. Instead he’ll get late night feedings and diaper changings, but at least he’ll see the cutest little girl while he’s at it. “Anything else?”
“That’s it.” You respond, making him go over to your side to kiss the top of your head.
It’s near midnight, and it’ll be a pain in the ass to find open stores but he’ll find a way. This isn’t his first rodeo, and if he doesn’t want it to be his last then he’ll certainly find an open store.
