Norman and I had taken showers after a little time in the bedroom and we were heading back to his place after grabbing the greasiest food we could find. Mingus was bound to show up at any time by the time we had made it back to the apartment.

I squealed when I heard the front door open knowing Mingus had used his key to get in. "Mingus!" I screamed while running towards him and picking him up. Mingus chuckled as I spun him around before placing him gently back on the ground.

"Boy, have I missed you," I said while pulling him into me. Mingus wrapped his arms around me and I sighed. I was definitely happy that I was home. I saw Norman leaning against the kitchen bar watching Mingus and I with a beaming smile on his face.

I pulled back from Mingus giving his shoulders a squeeze before turning him around to face Norman. Mingus practically ran over to his dad and threw himself into his arms. I loved that even though his was a 13 year old boy that he still was affectionate.

I watched as Norman's eyes closed as he pulled Mingus into him. He was soaking in this moment. I knew they had both truly missed each other. Norman reached out a hand to me and I walked over to them. Norman and Mingus both wrapped arms around me.

I sighed and leaned into Norman while running my fingers through Mingus's hair softly. "I've missed you both," I whispered. Norman squeezed me a little while resting his chin on top of my head. He kissed my head lightly before pulling back and ruffling Mingus's hair.

"Let's eat this junk," Norman said. I chuckled while sitting in one of the barstools. Mingus went to sit by Norman and I felt myself smiling when Norman leaned over and kissed Mingus's forehead. We quickly dove into the bags and started eating the greasiest food known to mankind.

~~

After dinner we had grabbed ice cream at our favorite ice cream shop and then we headed back to the apartment. We were currently all curled up on the couch watching a movie. Mingus was curled into Norman's left side while I was curled into his right.

We had no clue what we were watching and honestly I don't think we were paying that much attention. All three of us were talking and catching up while the movie played silently in the background. Norman's hand had snuck up the back of my shirt at some point and he was rubbing circles on my lower back. I felt myself relaxing into his touch.

I looked at the clock to see that it was now one in the morning. Both Norman and I had shut our phones off when Mingus came over so we could spend time with him and each other. Honestly, I loved it. It felt like there wasn't a world out there, just the three of us.

I looked over to see Mingus barely staying awake against Norman's side. I smiled a little to see that Norman was barely staying awake too. I lightly placed my hand on Norman's arm and he looked over at me with tired eyes. I pointed towards the door.

"I think I'm gonna head out. Both of you are wiped and need to go to bed," I said. I went to stand up but Norman's hand grabbed my wrist. "Don't go," he whispered. I sighed and looked down at both of them. "Norman, you both need a good night's sleep," I whispered back.

Norman's thumb ran over my wrist lightly and he gave me a lazy smirk. "I'd sleep better with you beside me," he whispered huskily. I closed my eyes together tightly trying to control my breathing. I could feel my knees going weak underneath me. I ran a hand through my hair.

Norman was still looking up at me. "Don't go," I heard that quiet voice mumbled sleepily. I looked over a little to see Mingus looking at me through narrowed, tired eyes. I bit my lip before sinking back on the couch. "Fine, I won't leave," I watched as both Mingus and Norman smiled.

"But come on both of you to bed," I said. I quickly stood up again and offered my hands to both of them. They both didn't hesitate to grab them before I pulled them off the couch. They both moved tiredly and slowly through the hallway to their rooms.

Norman tossed me a pair of his sweatpants and I changed into them while he changed into a pair of red plaid pajama pants. We walked into Mingus's room to see him propped up sleepily in his bed. Tonight was definitely going to be a goodnight ritual.

Norman bent down and gave Mingus a hug. When he pulled back Mingus looked over at me and held out his arms to me. I quickly engulfed him in a hug and squeezed him tightly. When I pulled back I absent mindedly kissed his forehead. Something I've never done.

Mingus smiled a little. "Night Mingus," I said. Mingus beamed up at me and wrinkled his nose a little. "Night Mandy," Norman and I walked out of Mingus's room and into his. I sighed as I literally collapsed on his bed with a big flop. Norman chuckled a little before doing the same.

I felt Norman's hand lay on my lower back. "He's missed you," Norman whispered to me. I smiled a little. "He's missed you," I whispered back. I knew Norman was smiling without having to look at him. I looked over to see Norman staring back at me.

"What?" I asked him. Norman shook his head. "Nothing, I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you, I swear you're perfect," I snorted. "Please, if anybody should be saying that then it should be me," I said. Norman's smile widened a little.

"Fine, let's agree that we're both lucky to have each other," I felt myself rolling my eyes slightly. "Fine," I said. Norman leaned towards me. I sighed as I felt his lips on mine. His lips seemed to always sculpt perfectly to mine. He rested his forehead against mine when he pulled back.

"Come on, let's get some sleep. Mingus will be up again before you know it," I said. Norman and I quickly crawled under the covers. His arm wrapped around my waist and he pulled me flush against him so my back was against his chest. I placed my hand over his.

I sighed and relaxed a little. Norman wrapped his arm around me tighter. I felt his other hand go in my hair and he massaged my scalp lightly while running his fingers through my curls. "Goodnight beautiful," Norman whispered in my hair. I smiled a little. "Night."

~~

I woke up around nine the next morning seeing that Norman was still asleep beside me with his arm around me. I knew Mingus was most likely still asleep too. I quietly slid out of bed and replaced my body with a pillow. I chuckled quietly to myself when I saw Norman squeezing the pillow thinking that it was me. I slowly walked towards the bathroom.

Before going in the bedroom I popped my head into Mingus's room to see the covers kicked off of him and he was curled into a ball. I quietly walked in and pulled the covers back up around him. Mingus relaxed a little as I brushed his hair out of his face and kissed his forehead.

I walked into the bathroom and quickly pulled my hair up into a bun. After brushing my teeth I walked into the kitchen setting my eyes on making breakfast for the boys. I quickly pulled out some bacon and bread and eggs planning on making French toast.

I let the bacon fall into the pan while I started digging around in the cabinets for cinnamon. "What are you making?" I jumped when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I found the cinnamon and turned around as Norman followed behind me.

He reached for a piece of bacon that I had put on a plate but I quickly smacked his hand with the spatula. "Hands off," I said while trying not to focus on how close he was to me. Norman chuckled and tightened his grip around me. I sighed and leaned back feeling his naked chest against me.

I turned around in his arms and looked down at his chest. My eyes ran up until they met his. "Don't you own a shirt? And for your information I'm making French toast," I said while turning back to it making sure I didn't burn it. Norman turned me back around quickly.

"What?" I asked him. Norman chuckled a little and I could smell his minty breath from his recently brushed teeth. "Nothing, just didn't like waking up hugging a pillow is all," I felt myself grinning at him. I leaned in and kissed him quickly before turning back to the food.

"I'm sorry. I just thought I'd make a family breakfast to celebrate us being back," my voice trailed off. The word family came out of my mouth faster than I could stop it. I dropped my head slightly and poked at the food on the stove absent mindedly.

Norman leaned over and turned off the stove before pushing the pan off the hot eye. I knew that it wasn't done but I knew now that he wanted my undivided attention. Norman slowly turned me around in his arms and my arms were now crossed.

"Babe," Norman whispered while putting his finger under my chin. He pushed my chin up lightly so my eyes locked with his. Norman's hand moved to the back of my neck and he pulled me towards him. I was expecting him to kiss me but he placed my head on his shoulder and pulled me in tighter.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and sighed while snuggling into him more. Norman's hand ran through my hair as he tugged on my loose curls lightly. "It's okay," he whispered. "I count you as family and I know Mingus does too. He adores you," Norman said. I squeezed him again.

"What's going on?" I heard that soft voice ask. Norman and I both looked over to see Mingus standing by the bar while sleepily rubbing his eye. He looked so much like Norman. He was definitely going to be a lady killer when he grew up, just like his father.

I pulled back from Norman's arms and smiled down at Mingus. "Nothing, buddy. Everything's fine. You ready for something breakfast?" I asked him. Mingus nodded before jumping up into a barstool. I quickly finished the rest of breakfast before plating it.

I grabbed a plate and sat it in front of Mingus before kissing his forehead. He smiled a little before digging in. I quickly grabbed Norman's plate and sat it in front of him before grabbing mine. I jumped up beside Mingus and ruffled his hair before digging into my own food.

I looked up to see Norman looking over at me. He winked while giving me a slight smile. Mingus looked over to me and smiled while sticking a piece of French toast in his mouth. I chuckled slightly before wrinkling my nose towards him. Family, so this is what it felt like.
