nightmare of the night

One night Layla was awakef by Forrest screams. It was a tropical parents horror night.

Once again Forrest Had awakened with another  nightmare.
"MOM!..... MOM!!!"screamed Forrest.
"I'm coming sweetie,I'm coming" 
As she rushed in to the room to see him in a ball up in the center of the bed crying. 
"I'm here Forrest"
Layla makes her way over to forest. He outstretched his arms to his mother. Eyes filled with tears. Cheeks wet.
As she sat down next him. Forrest wrapped his small arm around her stomach.
"Awe sweetheart was it the same dream?" Layla asked as she stroke his hair and rubbed his back.
Gasping Forrest just nods "yes"
Since his fathers death he has had the same nightmare of his father at the funereal.
"Mom " Forrest tried to talk but he is now crying and gasping to the point he isn't  understandable.
"I know sweety but look at me"
As he lifts his head tears stream down his face. Layla look into her sons big brown eyes. She can see the hurt and fear In Them. 
"I was a dream, I know that it felt real. Forrest."
Layla wipes the tears from his face.
Sobbing he managed to get a few word out she dis understand"
"

I put a jacket On his tiny arms
And a pair of slippers on his feet. 
"Ready?" Layla asked
Yeah rubbing his still watery eyes.
Layla picked him up.
"Ohh your going to have to really lay off the lollipop and gummy worms  kiddo" Layla smiled then ticked his belly
A small smile came and went  across his face.
Layla thought to herself 
"This must Have been a bad one no matter how hard I push he never will talk about them 
Said it was bad luck
Just As my grandmother Told me.
"OK! Forrest look up in the sky and pick a star"
Tilting His small pale face to look up at the sky he lifts his hand and points to The brightest star.
The north star I assumed
"That one, mommy" Forrest said
"OK now take your Bad dream and send it to that star"
"OK mommy "
"Close. Your eyes"
Forrest squeezes his eyes shut tightly.
Alright ,There all gone baby boy" Layla insure Forrest.
"Mommy can I sleep In your bed to night" he ask yawing laying his head on my shoulder. Its has been some time Since he has had dream this bad. That he need to sleep with me. Layla thought to herself.
He must fall half asleep in my arms. As I laid him on the other side of the bed. Took his jacket off.
He took a deep breath before rolling over to his left side curling up.
Layla kissed him on his forehead.
"Sleep well my little bugger"
Layla walked to the chair to put the jacket down.
She went to Peppers room to make sure he was OK.
To her surprise he was awake.
"He have another nightmare mom" pepper asked sounding worried
No matter how much pepper and his older brother fought. He always was so concerned for his brother.
"Yeah pep he did. Do it wake you?"
"No, I um" pepper seemed embarrassed about something
"You pee wee the bed again"
His faced just blushed red.
Layla walked over and picked him up and sat him on his feet  
"I'm sorry mommy" pepper said slightly crying
"Oh honey don't cry its ok, just next time don't drink so much milkmaid right before bed. Ok?"
Pepper just nods his head while wiping the few tears away.
"Let's get you out of them clothes first. And wash you off."
After Layla got pepper into new pajamas. 
She went to strip the sheets off the mattress.
As she bundled up the sheet and took the padding that she put on last time so it wouldn't soak the mattress.
On her way to the laundry room she passes the clock. The time read 2:45am.
"So much for sleep to night" Layla sighs.
What mom" pepper ask
"Nothing pumpkin " she smiles 
About that time she hears a loud yell "Mom......mommy!"
Forrest she thought 
"I'm in here Forrest "
"Why you in her" Forrest asked 
"Because pepper had a accident. Just go back to bed,I'll be there in a few."
"Mom! Don't tell Forrest!" Pepper shouts
“eww you still wet bed your suçh a baby" Forrest said
"Am not I'm only a year younger then you. And at least I don't still suck my thumb" pepper yells 
"SHUT UP PEPPER!" 
Forrest then shoves pepper.
"Whoa we will not be fighting do hear me" Layla yells while she  grabs pepper and Forrest by the arms to separate them.
"Forrest go to your room right now."
"But I'm sleeping in your bed" Forrest whined
"Then go to my bed Forrest" Layla said slightly irritated.
"But mooommmm"
"Ugh now go to bed." 
After forest stooped of back to bed, Layla then finished putting the sheets in the was.
"I better go ahead and put the boys clothes in the washer and let them soak" Layla said 
"Pepper come here"
"Can you grab the clean sheet on the bottom shelf please?"
He simply walks off. To get the sheets.
"Thank you pepper "
After Layla gets peppers bed made. She gets pepper ready to get back to be. But when she went to check the coach to her surprise he wasn't there
"Pepper come it really late I got to get you back to bed' 
As Layla checks Forrest bed room to only find he wasn't there either. She went toz check her room and there they both lay pepper on layla's side facing the right and Forrest on the opposite side laying on his stomach. 
She glanced at the clock 3:56 am
" well I'll at least get 2 hours of sleep" she sarcastically laughs..
As Layla got back in bed she took a moment to look at both her sons. She though God how i see so much of my younger self in them. Along with there fathers great charm and handsome looks 
The way Forrest  question everything.
And peppers Adventurous ways  And how Forrest  thinks he so independent like I was.
As she stroked his hair and kiss pepper on the head. 
She being to fell asleep with a smile for the first time in months.

It's a good rough draft. There are supposed to be a million mistakes in the rough draft, that's what makes it rough. I did notice that you have the first chapter twice, and you keep switching between third and first person. You should watch out for that, otherwise, good job.
