Pity The Child

Monte shifted, shivering at the touch

"Shh..." Adam said, gently stroking Monte's hair. "It's okay." He said softly.

Lennon watched Adam, frowning.

"You're hands are cold," Monte mumbled, still half asleep.

"Oh...sorry." Adam said, smiling slightly.

Monte just mumbled something, eyes unopened, trying to feel around for Lennon.

Lennon slid out of Sammy's arms and crawled over to Monte, prodding his hand.

Monte grabbed his brother's hand. "There you are...." he mumbled

"Yes, I'm here. " Lennon said.

"Kay.....I go back to....." Monte started, drifting off before he said sleep

Lennon smiled softly, laying down beside Monte.

Adam chuckled and shook his head.

Sammy smiled. "Poor little guy, so worn out..."

"Aren't we all though?" Adam asked.

Sammy nodded

"It's all stupid mum's fault..." Lennon mumbled.

"Shhh," said Sammy. "Let's not talk about her."

"Why would anyone want to...?" Lennon asked, smirking.

Sammy smiled, ruffling Lennon's hair.

"He really is a mini me..." Adam muttered, smiling.

Sammy chuckled and nodded. "He is."

"Na-uh." Lennon said. "I'm me."

Sammy kissed Lennon's temple. "My munchkin."

"My mama." Lennon smiled.

Sammy smiled. "Yours."

"But..." Adam said, pouting. "What about meee?"

Sammy smiled. "My silly Bear."
