You';re semi-conscious, on the threshold where you're about to fall asleep but cognizant of your surroundings
You are alone, normally there would have been some warmth next to you but she's currently off to conduct some business. Your only compensation was her body pillow but it was a poor replacement.
Suddenly you hear the hinges of your bedroom door creak open. Your panicked mind goes overboard in its imagination, was it a demon?
You shake off your fears, fighting against your sleep paralysis and managing to get off the bed in a battle ready stance.
Your room wasn't completely engulfed in darkness, a dim orange light emanating from a wall light illuminated the room
A good thing it was on, you would've missed her.
She was standing before you. A short little thing that barely reached your knees.
She was wearing her pink jammies, her Boros plushie in one arm while the other was occupied with dragging her blankie.
She was frowning, even with the binkie in her mouth, she must've had a nightmare.
"Miss mommy?" You crouch down, ruffling her hair. She throws her arms open, waiting for you to lift her up.
You oblige, picking her up and taking her to the bed.
You gently lay her down between you and the body pillow, Krunny snuggling against the cover that bore her mother's visage.
Not even a second in and she already fell fast asleep.
You sigh as you study your daughter's sleeping form, face resting on the body pillow.
You envelop your arms around her and the pillow, a warm and protective embrace surround Krunny, like a cocoon
The both of you shared the same sentiments. You both missed Kronii
