Aja wandered back into the house. She could hear Huma snoring as soon as she shut the door. By Zeus, he sounded like a dragon with a terrible cold!
Aja started up the stairs, when Maria, the housekeeper, came out of her room.
"Good Lord, Aja, dear. How do you sleep through that?" Aja turned and looked at Maria.
"I don't. I'm getting ready to go nuts."
"Maybe you should move him on his side?"
"It works for three minutes till he rolls back to his back." Aja sighed as she looked up at the bedroom door and then at Maria's concerned face.
"If this keeps up, I'll be too tired to deliever this baby."
"Try and rest, child. And sleep in in the morning. I'll tell Rico you'll be late." Aja smiled at the woman gratefully.
"Would you?" Maria nodded and Aja smiled. "You're the best. Night." Maria waved her off and went back into her room.
Aja walked into their room, she watched him sleep for a moment and got into her night clothes. She slowly got into bed listening to Huma's snoring. After fifteen minutes of trying to sleep, Aja reached to the night stand where she had left the salami, and poked him. Hard. He sat straight up alarmed.
"What?"
"Stop snoring." Aja looked over her shoulder at him.
"I wasn't snoring." He mumbled.
"Were too. Next time, I'm pushing you out of bed." Aja turned on her side and got an idea of how to make him stop. "Baby...Come snuggle up behind me."
"No..You're too warm." He said as he laid back down. Aja frowned and decided to play not so nice.
"Snuggle with me or go sleep on the couch." She listened to him sigh annoyed, but he turned over and snuggled in behind her. She smiled and drifted off to sleep happily.
