Though Erik and his wives had already reached a level where they needed barely half the amount of sleep a normal person needed, this time they slept for a full eight hours. Erik had thoroughly exhausted both himself and everyone else.
When he'd finally gotten the rest he needed, he slowly and groggily opened his eyes. A low, satisfied groan passed his lips as his mind booted up. He blinked, opening his eyes to a scene that was slightly different from when he fell asleep.
Emma was no longer on his chest, but on his side, and clutching his chest. Astrid was no longer near the lower end of the bed, but had instead claimed his other side, mirroring Emma. Finally, Elora was now lying on his chest. Unsure when they shifted positions, Erik also didn't care and simply grinned.
