Mari padded back down the stairs, a bit of a hum escaping her as she went on, though when she came down to Liz and Sage asleep she couldn't help but smile lightly. Good, they were peaceful. She moved to peck a light kiss to Sages forehead before gently picking Liz up and taking her back to bed... she couldn't carry Sage, but she'd wake him up later... she just wanted to let him rest for a little while.

Sage shifted slightly when he felt Lizzies warmth move from his chest. He almost panicked, after what had happened with Silas, but he calmed himself down quickly enough...he knew nothing would happen inside his own living room. He settled back down, though woke up a few hours later. He would have gone back to sleep, but it was pretty late by then, so he forced himself to his feet and sort of staggered in the direction of the bedroom, more than happy to collapse on the mattress with a huff once he got there and close his achign eyes again.

Mari scurried around the house for the next few hours, just tidying up and making sure everything was in order. It wasn't awfully messy, but it was nice to wake up to a cleaned house. She went down stairs to make some dinner, though Sage seemed to have wandered off to bed... oh well, the kids still needed to eat. She'd make some up for Sage to eat later. She woke the little ones up once everything was sorted, and ate herself before cleaning up... they'd eaten what they could by the end of it, and soon enough headed back to sleep. She wandered back to their room, to find a very sleepy looking Sage on the bed. She smiled and went to sit with him, gently rested her hand on his side as she watched him... he was so peaceful. It was nice too see. She pecked his cheek before quickly going to get showered and changed so she could cuddle up with him.

Sage hadn't bugged from his spot on the bed, not even when Mari came in to sit down with him for a bit. Normally he would have woken up, and probably curled up and gone back to sleep, but he supposed he was just really, really tired today....there had been a lot going on. It was nice...but it had exhausted him, even after all these weeks. It was a bit annoying, and discouraging, but he didn't really have much of a choice but to push through everything and manage to get his strength back. At least, get what he could back ...half of him told him he'd be limping around forever. And that honesty scared him a little bit. But as of right then, he was just happy to be resting in his bed, Amber curled up next to him and Mari on her way.

Mari crawled into bed after a little bit and moved to wrap her arms around his sides from where she was... her head was lightly against his back we she stared to curl into him, kind of taking a deep breath through her nose... his scent was warm, and safe and familiar... and after a long day it was nice to curl into him, where everything could be so safe and still. She curled in the best she could before letting out a havy breath of air... things seemed to be getting better again... so she was hwppy.

Sage sort of just relaxed into Mari subconsciously when he felt her wrap herself around him. He didn't wake, but he was definitely still happy to have her there, even if he wasn't physically aware that he was. He soon settled down in her arms though and relaxed against her, warm now that she had curled up with him and drawn the covers over them. He wasn't necessarily cold before....but this was definitely better. Really, anything with Mari there was better. She seemed to make everything better, all the time. Especially on bad days. He hadn't had a really bad day in a while, probably thanks to the meds and sleep pills....but he'd have one sooner or later about all this. He felt more and more guilty about not being able to help out around the house or anything the more he watched Mari work..and Anthony too he supposed, so he knew it was coming. He'd pushed it away and avoided it so far, but even he could only do that for so long. But for now, he was comfortable and curled up with the woman he loved, so it was all good.

Mari slept happily for a long while... it was too hot, so she ended up outside of the blanket after a little while... but it was alright. She woke up early the next morning, and kind of pressed a sleepy kiss just behind his ear before giving a sleepy good morning to the boy. She was still tired... but she enjoyed being around him. She had a lot to do, but she hoped she could just sit and talk to her husband for a little bit... she hadn't saw him much of the day prior.

Sage had slept rather well, and he hummed sleepily when he felt Mari press the kiss to his head. He sort of shifted so he could nestle in a bit better, humming a crackly good morning to the girl. It reminded him of the time she'd mentioned that she thought his morning voice was sexy, and it brought a smile to his face. It was just a funny memory....one of those little things that he always loved to remember.

Mari gave a soft hum in response to the boy, a sort of happy sounding flutter in her stomach at the sound... she loved his voice... it was odd, she supposed, but it was the voice of the man she loved and cherished so, so much. And he was getting better. Slowly, but surely, he was getting better. She couldn't be happier for that. She curled into his back, kind of pushing her legs up behind his with a happy little hum, and her arms wrappped around him tightly, going up his shirt as they always had. It was warm, and she felt so safe her... she hadn't ever felt this content with anyone else before. And she hoped it'd stay this way for a while to come, at least.

Sage let the girl curl around him more, letting their legs sort of entwine and tangle up when she pressed against him. He felt a half asleep smile curve onto his face when she slipped har hands under his shirt ...it was odd, he thought, that it could be something so intimate at times and at other times, like now, it was just a normal habit that calmed them both down. He decided not to dwell too much on the though though, and instead just take in her warmth and scent while they had a bit of time to themselves. It wasn't something that happened often, with the kids, and especially not now that he was hurt. He was healing, yes, but his vision wouldn't heal ...and once he was physically able to do thing, he'd have to learn how to do things in a different way. He was sort of dreading it too. But he didn't want to focus on that now either....he just wanted to focus on Mari.
