Chapter 73

LORRAINE'S POV

The next day, I tended to Aiden and Alex who laid on the bed. As soon as the sun hung in the sky that morning, we made out way back to the bunker. Aiden and Alex clung to me tightly. They barely slept throughout the night. I hummed as I rocked the two of them to sleep. I tried to soothe them by stroking their hair gently. Their soft breathing showed me that they had slept off. I was happy that they were resting.

Even when we got home, they were a bit agitated. I kissed their foreheads then gently laid them on the bed one by one. When I saw that they were still fast asleep, I got up and tip toed out of the room.

When I got into the living room, I let out a deep breath that I had been holding in. I raised up my head and fanned my face with my hands, trying my best not to cry. It was all too overwhelming for me. Life hasn't been the same since we moved here. My heart rate increased loudly in my chest. I was starting to feel anxious, like the walls were closing in on me.
