Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Michael and Sarah looked at their oldest son patiently. Waiting to hear what their son will say.

"Okay!" replied Raphael, nodding his head. He didn't know how to do the group hug his Mommy said, but it seemed fine if his Daddy was there too.

Hearing her son's approval, Sarah lifted her head and looked at Michael, who was apparently staring at her at the moment.

Michael smiled when their gazes met. He was grateful that Sarah would involve him when Raphael wants to be hugged by Sarah.

"Okay, let's hug," Michael said then opened his arms wide so he could hug Sarah who was currently holding Raphael.

"Oh!" Raphael's eyes opened wide when he could feel his Daddy's body near him. He then raised his head and looked left and right.

On his left he saw his Mommy hugging him. On the right he saw his Daddy hugging him.

A smile immediately appeared on the little boy's usually too serious face.

"Mommy! Daddy!" said Raphael who couldn't hide his joy at being able to feel the warmth of his parents.

"Are you happy?" Sarah said with a smile when she saw the expression on her son's face.

Sarah suddenly began to feel touched by her son's smile. Looks like her decision to let Michael into her kids' lives and cohabitation with her ex-husband was the right one.

Well… she doesn't know what the future holds. It was possible that she would regret it again, as was often the case. However, for now, Sarah felt grateful that she had made such a decision.

"Daddy!" Raphael's voice suddenly snapped Sarah out of her thoughts. It seemed like Michael had just kissed the boy on the cheek.

"Why? Daddy loves Raphael. So Daddy kissed you," Michael said with a big smile.

He was really happy to be able to hug these two people he loves so much. Well… although this isn't really complete since the Youngest seems to be still sleeping, but that's okay.

This made him very happy.

"Give Daddy a kiss too!" Michael asked then pouting his lips, telling his son to kiss him.

Raphael then moved, kissed his Daddy's lips.

"I love you too Daddy!" he said after kissing Michael.

"What about Mommy?" asked Sarah, who hadn't stopped smiling ever since.

Hearing that, Raphael then immediately turned to his left and gave his Mommy a kiss on the lips.

"Rapa loves Mommy too!" said Raphael with a smile on his face. His tone sounded a little more childish than when he was talking to Michael earlier.

It seems, right now he really wants to be pampered by Sarah.

Sarah smiled at that, then kissed Raphael's lips again.

"Mommy loves Rapa too," Sarah replied after kissing him.

The boy smiled again when he heard that. He's happy.

Seeing that now his son was no longer annoyed, Michael then leaned his head closer to Sarah and managed to land a kiss on the woman's lips.

"Daddy loves Mommy too!" said Michael after successfully kissing Sarah.

"Daddy!" said Raphael, turning to Michael. There was a tone of protest in his voice and an annoyed expression on his face.

"What?" Michael asked back when he saw the look in the boy's eyes.

"Bad daddy! Daddy can't kiss Mommy!" Raphael protested while raising his index finger and shaking it.

"Why? Daddy loves Mommy too. It's not just Raphael," said Michael and then stole a kiss on his son's lips.

"Look? It's Same right? Daddy kisses Raphael because Daddy loves Raphael." Michael then tilted his head back. This time he stole a kiss on Sarah's lips.

"Hmmm…" Raphael pressed his lips upon hearing his Daddy's explanation. His little brain could understand what his Daddy was saying, but he didn't like to see it.

"Okay, just for today I'll let Daddy do it!" he said with a serious look on his face.

"Okay! Daddy understands!" said Michael who also looked serious.

Sarah could only shake her head at the father-son attitude. A smile appeared on her face. The feeling of tiredness that had just done the operation just disappeared.

***

After that happy afternoon, Sarah was surprised again when her kids asked her to sleep with their Daddy again.

Actually, Sarah was a little hesitant to do that. Especially after a few hours ago Raphael thwarted what he and Michael were about to do.

What if Michael gets desperate to do it later when the kids are around?

"Now it's Riel's turn, Mommy! Riel wants to sleep beside Mommy!" Gabriel said with a tone of voice that sounded sulky when he saw Sarah just silent.

Sarah sighed when she saw her youngest son who seemed to be about to cry again.

Usually, she was always strict and did not just let the twins do what they wanted. However, it seemed that this time, she had to give in again and nodded her head, making her youngest son immediately happy.

However, Sarah did not realize that there were other people who were also happy to see the decision made by the woman.

Just like yesterday, Sarah returned after she had put on her pajamas. Just like yesterday too, her heart was beating fast as she lay back down on the bed.

She thought, since it wasn't the first time, she would feel more relaxed, but her heart was still beating fast, making it difficult for her to sleep.

"Sarah…"

Sarah, who closed her eyes trying to sleep, could hear Michael's voice calling out to her. It made her heart, which had calmed down, started to beat fast again.

Sarah decided not to answer Michael and kept her eyes closed. Pretend to sleep.

However, just like yesterday, Sarah felt a movement in the bed, and not long after, a hand wrapped around her. Hands that were definitely not her kids's hands.

"Sarah? Are you sleeping?" whispered Michael quietly.

Like yesterday, he couldn't sleep either and wanted to chat with Sarah.

"..."

Michael sighed in disappointment when he saw there was no answer and Sarah seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Good night, Wifey," Michael said softly then kissed Sarah's forehead and decided to just sleep while hugging the woman.

Meanwhile, Sarah felt something strange in her heart when she heard what Michael had just said.

This wasn't the first time Michael had called her Wifey after she living with the man again. However, Michael usually calls her that when he just wants to tease her.

Hearing Michael call her that again, and sounding so sincere, made Sarah feel… sad.

She regretted having acted rashly in the past.

Sarah sighed. She'd better just try to sleep and not think about it too much.

***

The next day, the four of them spent time at home alone because rain suddenly poured. They play and do activities together. Sometimes there's laughter from little kids who sound very happy can be heard..

In the evening, the kids again asked to sleep together after it was time for them to sleep.

"Yesterday it was Riel's turn. Now it's my turn!" said Raphael then looked at his Daddy sharply.

Yesterday when it was his brother's turn, his Daddy did the same thing when it was supposed to be his turn.

"What about Daddy? When is it Daddy's turn?" asked Michael looking at his eldest son.

"Daddy can't!" Raphael replied, shaking his head and raising his index finger again.

"Why?" asked Michael in a childish tone of voice.

"That… Hmmm… because Daddy is bad!" replied Raphael.

Sarah just watched the father-son argument once more, shaking her head. While Gabriel didn't really care about that. He could wait his turn later.

"Tonight, Mommy won't sleep with you guys."

Sarah's words made the three men immediately turn to look at her.

"Why?" the three men asked in unison.

Sarah smiled when she saw the facial expressions of the three of them were really very similar.

"Because tomorrow is Monday. You have to go to school. If you guys want to sleep with Daddy. Go ahead, but Mommy won't sleep with you," Sarah said firmly.

Raphael and Gabriel tried to persuade her, Gabriel had even gone so far as to whine for Sarah to sleep with them.

However, Sarah strengthened her heart and remained firm on the decision she had made.

Honestly, it didn't really matter if the kids had to go to school tomorrow, then she and Michael had to go to work. They can sleep together, and wake up early.

There's nothing wrong with that.

However, Sarah felt that this was the right thing to do.

Right now, she is confused about her relationship with Michael.

Michael is the father of her kids, the man she has sex with and the man she lives with.

However, even so, that will not change the fact that she and Michael are divorced. The man was her ex-husband.

If every night she had to sleep in the same bed with Michael with the kids… Sarah was really confused, and also a little worried.

What if she became used to that comfort?

Can she really do that?
