scarlett's pov:
I always wondered what age the co-sleeping with children should stop at. I've wondered for many years but to this day, my 9 year old still sleeps in my bed.
A lot of people would say that it's inappropriate, but i've never actually minded and it's her choice. I'm not forcing her to sleep in my bed, dragging her down and not letting her leave.
She used to sleep in her bed for a good 2 year when she was around 6/7 but it was just one night she slept with me, then another, then another.
Y/n's not always sleeping with me, she'll sleep in her bed from time to time, always in her bedroom, but most days she's with me and i personally don't find it a problem.
There was a tiny problem, Colin. I had been dating Colin for around a year maybe and we are slowly coming up with the idea of moving in. To our place.
Colin only lives in a small apartment on his own, and i have a house, a big one with everything in it, from when i was younger, when Y/n was younger and i don't think it's needed to move out, plus Colin says he doesn't care where we live as long as we are together.
Y/n and Colin get along, okay i guess. There's some days where she's almost protective and clings to me, not letting him hug or kiss me and some days where she's his best friend, clinging onto him like a monkey.
Colin was coming over tonight for a little sleepover i guess, or is that a children's term? Anyways, he was spending the night tonight, i had told him about mine and Y/n's co-sleeping and he didn't really care, in a nice way of course and if Y/n was bothered she said she would sleep in her room for that night.
Y/n is really comfortable around Colin, i once found them asleep with each other on the sofa watching a tv show, which i found very cute.
"Are you excited for Colin to come round" I ask brushing my fingers through Y/n's hair, She shrugs her shoulders keeping her eyes on the Tv
"i'll sleep in my room tonight" She mumbles sitting up from cuddling into my shoulder and bringing her knees to her chest
"you don't have to you know" I reassure shifting closer to her and wrapping my arm around her shoulder. I shrugs her shoulder opening her mouth to stay something then stop
"but i'm 9, i should have been sleeping in my own bed since i was 2. In reality i'm a massive baby who can't do anything without her god damn mom!" Y/n snaps frustratedly throwing her arms around
"Hey, your not a massive baby. Your my baby, i really don't mind you sleeping in my bed sweetheart. If that's what you want to do then that's completely fine my love, i'm not gonna be angry and i'm not gonna be upset if you don't want to anymore. I know it's weird that Colin's moving in with us soon, but i'm still gonna be here and Colin says he doesn't mind either" I explain
"i know, b-but it's weird because Colin's a man and i'm a girl and i don't want to make it sound weird but i don't know i feel like people will make fun of me if they found out" She sniffles wiping her eyes with her hoodie sleeve
"Oh babe, it's not weird i promise. I bet there's plenty of girls your age still sleeping with their mom and dads" I said running my finger up and down her arm. She takes a big sniff nodding her head and turning into the side of me, silently telling me she doesn't want to talk anymore.
