Julia smiled as Kat crawled in and helped her settle in between them, using
one hand to lightly stroke her hair in a soothing motion and the other to
lay between Nick's cheek and pillow, mouthing over Kat's head to him before
they each drifted off to sleep 'love you'
She watched them for a while, Nick to make sure he was sleeping comfortably
and Kat to make sure she wasn't going to wake up from any bad dreams, and
then drifted off to sleep herself.
Kat snuggled under the covers feeling much better. This was almost as good
as having her mom or more accurately her mom and dad. Julia's gentle touch
made her feel a lot better and it wasn't long before she drifted off to
sleep, a mostly still dreamless sleep, which is exactly what she and Tuffy
needed.
