Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 980

Tommy flopped over, though his eyes remained closed as he mumbled, "I'm not going anywhere today, Mommy. I only want to sleep."

Bianca was at a loss of what to do. Her son looked too adorable, and she could not bear to wake him up.

Tommy had slept for nine hours since the night before, and he already had slept enough. Bianca opened the closet and took out Tommy's day clothes.

Her phone started ringing. Bianca put her son's clothes away and answered the call.

"Bea." Luke's voice was heard on the other end of the call.

Bianca was surprised; she did not look at the call notification before answering it. "Aren't you flying yet?"

"Not yet," Luke replied. "Is Tommy awake?"

"He hasn't," Bianca said helplessly. She could not persuade him, but the little boy was too young to be punished. It seemed as though only Luke could deal with Tommy.

"Turn on the speaker." Luke had guessed that Tommy did not want to wake up, which was why he made the call.

Bianca did what she was told and put the phone closer to the bed. "Tommy, your Daddy has something to tell you."

"Mm," Tommy replied but did not move.

Luke's voice was heard over the phone speaker. "It's time to wake up, Tommy." His tone was stern, unlike the gentle tone that he used earlier.

Bianca did not expect the simple sentence to have any effect, but Tommy suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Bianca. "Where's Daddy?"

"He's talking to you on the phone." Bianca wagged the phone in her hand.

Tommy sat up instantly. "Are you up yet?" Luke asked again.

"I'm up," Tommy replied obediently.

Bianca was impressed that Luke's voice was so effective. Perhaps she should record his voice and use it as a morning alarm.

Luke continued speaking, "Tommy, Daddy will be away on a business trip for the next few days. You'll have to listen to Mommy. Don't be a picky eater, and wake up early. Understood?"

Tommy began to pout. Bianca thought that he was about to cry when he instead said, "Yes, I know, bad Daddy!"

"I'll bring you to the theme park when I come back. Be a good boy and take care of Mommy," Luke said. He could not see his son, but he could guess that Tommy was reluctant.

He and Bianca did not have the habit of sleeping in, so he wondered if Tommy learned it from someone else.

Tommy was happy when he heard that. He clapped his hands and said, "Yay! I'll wait for you to come back, Daddy."

Bianca heard the flight announcement on the other end of the call. She brought the phone close to her ear and said, "Looks like you'll be taking off soon."

"Mm." Luke looked outside the window. The plane was beginning to taxi.

It would be a long flight across the country. If Bianca were around, the flight would not be as boring.

"Have a safe flight. Call me when you land," Bianca said softly.

"Mm, alright," Luke replied.

"Bye." Bianca ended the call. Suddenly, she realized that her mind was full of thoughts of him, even though he had not been gone for a few hours.

She composed herself after Tommy got out of bed. She picked up the clothes at the side and asked, "Do you want to wear this outfit today, Tommy?"

"Alright, Mommy!" Tommy nodded and yawned.

Bianca helped him change, took his hand, and led him into the bathroom.
