Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"Sarah… Sarah…." Michael whispered softly, turning to the woman sleeping not far from him.

He… couldn't sleep.

Michael could feel his heart beating fast right now. He was too happy when the four of them could sleep in the same bed. Not to mention, his youngest child, who was beside him, sleeping while facing him and hugging his arm.

He had absolutely no problem with his hands later becoming cramped from being hugged like that. In fact, he felt very happy.

Since their kids live with him, he only gives them a good night kiss and then leaves their bedroom. It was the first time he had slept like this with their kids, and Sarah.

The feeling of happiness was too overwhelming, so it made him can't sleep.

"Sarah..." Michael called again. It is not too loud, but not quiet either. He sure, Sarah can still hear him.

Maybe talking to her would calm him down and he can finally sleep.

However, no matter how Michael called Sarah, Sarah didn't move at all.

'Has she fallen asleep?' Michael thought when he saw Sarah didn't hear him at all.

Well… he knows  it's quite late now, not to mention that the bedroom lights have been turned off and changed with bedside lamps, so it looks like Sarah is already asleep.

Well, actually, like Michael, Sarah couldn't sleep at all.

Unlike Michael, who was overwhelmed with happiness, Sarah was overwhelmed with memories from six years ago that suddenly appeared in her mind.

She always sleeps here, in the same position, staring at the ceiling that still looks the same, with the same bedside table and lamp next to it.

It made Sarah feel strange inside her.

They all look the same, but there's a little bit different.

Now, not only she and Michael were sleeping here, but there were two little boys sleeping between them. Their two kids, proof of their love.

However… her current relationship with Michael wasn't that kind of relationship anymore. They were divorced, and Sarah… had absolutely no idea what her relationship with Michael was like right now.

They had divorced, but now they slept together in the same bed with their kids.

They did live together and raise their kids, but their relationship shouldn't have to sleep together like this, right?

Sarah wasn't going to count the sex that happened yesterday, because she just got carried away and it could happen.

So… what is her relationship with Michael?

She already knew the truth of what happened in the past, she had also given Michael a chance, but for some reason, Sarah was confused about her and Michael's relationship.

Meanwhile, Michael tried to close his eyes to sleep, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't sleep at all.

He then turned to his left, at the kids and the woman he loves. The kids were seen sleeping soundly with their sleeping positions changed, while Sarah was still seen lying on her back.

Michael's eyes then suddenly caught a slight gap between Raphael and Sarah because Raphael was sleeping facing him.

Something suddenly crossed the man's mind.

What… if he sleeps there? Looks like he can do it.

Michael then immediately got up slowly so as not to wake their kids. He had made up his mind to sleep next to Sarah!

Still kneeling on the bed, slowly, Michael began to shift Gabriel to the place where he had been sleeping. Michael smiled when he saw that Gabriel wasn't awake at all.

He then switched his target to his eldest son, he did so slowly and carefully so he didn't wake him.

Michael was very sure, if the two kids woke up and saw that he was trying to sleep beside Sarah, the two kids would not allow it!

Suddenly, Michael's lips broke into a smile when he realized something.

Doesn't he sound like their kids just now? Want to sleep next to Sarah?

Apparently, there are many things that he passed down to those two little puppies.

"Well… too bad for you, the winner is Daddy," Michael muttered softly with a smile on his face when he had managed to move Raphael without waking his eldest son.

Michael then slowly began to lie down next to Sarah and stay still, so the kids did not wake up.

Having succeeded and the kids did not wake up, Michael then turned his position to face Sarah, and his hands slowly rose and landed on her stomach, hugging the woman.

It was a comfortable position that Michael was sure could put him to sleep.

"What are you doing?"

Michael opened his eyes when he heard the voice of the woman beside him.

"Did I wake you up?" Michael whispered softly, his face a little guilty.

Well… even though Sarah was closing her eyes, she could already hear that Michael seemed to be up and doing something.

She wondered what the man was doing, but she still tried to pretend to be asleep.

However, she suddenly felt that Michael was sleeping beside her, and that made hereven more convinced when she felt a big hand hugging her.

"What are you doing?" said Sarah again. She then tried to see their kids who were behind Michael.

"What if the kids wake up and see?!" she whispered softly but looked panicked.

"It's okay, they're asleep and won't wake up," Michael whispered with a smile.

"I can't sleep, let me sleep like this," he continued.

"By hugging me?" snorted Sarah, still worried that their kids would wake up and see her.

Even though Michael is the Daddy of their kids, Sarah feels embarrassed to be seen looking intimate with Michael in front of their kids!

"Or do you want to be in my arms?" Michael asked back then pulled his left hand and tried to stretch it out.

Sarah snorted at that. It's even worse than this!

"Just let me sleep like this, okay? I really can't sleep. I'm too happy that the four of us are sleeping together like this," Michael whispered, looking at Sarah pleadingly.

Sarah sighed when she saw Michael who was looking at her again like a puppy begging to be fed, the same eyes she had seen so often in their kids.

Why are they so similar?

"Just watch out if you do something weird!" said Sarah a little threateningly. She would let Michael hug her, but just watch out if he tries his luck!

Michael chuckled at that. He didn't even think about it that way.

"Okay, I get it," Michael replied with a smile. "But if you want, you can do the naughty things to me. I'm ready," he continued teasingly.

Sarah snorted at that. She would never do that!

"Let's sleep. I'm so tired," Sarah said and began to close her eyes.

She could feel the warmth of Michael's body beside her, and it calmed her down. Sarah didn't want to admit it, but she was comfortable in their current position.

Michael nodded then closed his eyes with a smile on his face. He was really happy tonight!

***

Raphael's hand seemed to be moving to the left, his eyes were still closed, indicating that he was still asleep. However, his subconscious knows that on his left side, there is his Mommy, and right now he wants to touch something soft that his Mommy has.

The hand kept groping, searching for the round object, but no matter how he tried to find it, he simply couldn't find it.

The boy decided to open his eyes and see where it should be for what he's looking for.

"Mommy?" said Raphael in confusion, half conscious. Why did her Mommy suddenly get bigger and wear different clothes?

"Oh, why is Daddy here?" muttered the boy looking annoyed. He then immediately climbed into his Daddy's body and rolled over to the little space between his Daddy and Mommy.

"Ah!" said Michael who immediately woke up when he felt something roll over him and kicked him slightly.

"Daddy is bad! I'm the one sleeping next to Mommy," said Raphael glaring at his Daddy.

After saying that to Michael, Raphael immediately turned around and hugged his Mommy.

Michael's mouth opened in disbelief when he heard and saw what his eldest son was doing. He was completely speechless.

Ahh… really! Wasn't his son too possessive of his Mommy? Why is his son acting like that?!

Michael just took a deep breath, trying not to get too upset and chose to go back to sleep.

"Anna? Why are you here?" asked Michael when he had just come out of the toilet and saw a woman in full make-up and dressed properly in his living room with her daughter, Sienna.

Anna was a little surprised to see Michael.

"Oh! You are at home! I want to ask for a favor," said Anna.

Michael then took a seat next to Sarah.

"What kind of favor?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"That… Can you guys look after Sienna for a few hours?" asked Anna with an awkward smile.

That time… Michael should have refused the woman's request… He didn't expect his supposedly quiet weekend to turn out like this.
