Midnight

(these characters belong to the author J other one's are mine)

Delos walked into the bedroom which he shared with his wife Maggie. I was almost midnight and Maggie was curled up asleep. Over the last few years she seemed to have gotten more and more beautiful if that was even possible. Before Delos had met Maggie, he had always followed what he was taught; humans were vermin. But then he had met Maggie and had fallen in love. She had changed him, saved him from his evil self. Maggie had made him better.

Delos loved Maggie with his whole being. She was the most important thing in his life. A cry came from the cot in the corner of the room. Delos walked over to the cot and looked into it. His son Joseph was whimpering and tossing around. Delos picked him up and cradled him in his arms. He didn't want his son waking up his sleeping wife.

"Shh little one, go back to sleep please. You don't want to wake up your mommy," he whispered, planting a kiss on his son's forehead. Joseph curled up in his father's arms and went back to sleep. Delos placed his son back in his cot and went to his own bed to get some sleep.
