*Adam sings a silly nursery rhyme for his baby girl, Euphemia*
Hey readers, I am so very sorry for the long wait. The reason why I didn't continue writing a few months ago is because I have some big family issues, like REALLY big issues that causes me to stop writing more chapters. I can't tell you the details, because this is personal and not very easy for me to explain it. I hope you will understand that. But don't worry about it guys, I will keep on continuing to write more chapters as best as I can.
And anyway, please enjoy this chapter :)
Disclaimer: I do not own "Beauty and the Beast" and "Disney".
"A" you're adorable
"B" you're so beautiful
"C" you're so cute and full of charm.
"D" you're a darling and "E" you're exciting
"F" you're a feather in my arms
Belle sings with a cheerful smile while carrying her daughter in her arms then sways her carrying arms a little bit around her little Princess Euphie who laughs so adorably with her tiny hands waving at her.
"G" you`re so good to me
"H" you're so heavenly
"I" you're the one I idolize
"J" we're like Jack and Jill
"K" you're so kissable,
"L" is the love light in my eyes.
The loving mother pokes her little angel's nose with amusement making Euphemia's button nose scrunch a little then continues to giggle while her mother continuously sings the nursery rhyme.
"M" - "N" - "O" - "P" I could go on all day
"Q" - "R" - "S" - "T" alphabetically speaking, you're OK
"U" made my life complete
"V" means you're very sweet,
"W" - "X" - "Y" - "Z"...
It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me!
After her silly song has ended when Adam entered the nursery room seeing his two precious girls smiling happily. The sight of that makes him also smile as he approaches them when Belle faces him with a grin then begins to tell him the funny news she had witnessed.
"Oh, Adam!" She exclaims while still carrying Euphemia in her arms. "You wouldn't believe it but our little Euphie laughed today. It was so beautiful! Oh, I wish you could have heard it."
Adam raised his eyebrow curiously. "Really? What did you do?"
Belle blinks for a moment as she gives him an amused look. "Um… well, I… sang. Or I sort of … rhymed… a silly nursery song."
It was silent for a short seconds as Adam just stares at Belle. "Oh you mean the song I heard just now before I entered?"
"Yes."
"Well, I must say it does sound a bit obnoxious."
"Your daughter liked that rhyme aside from the usual song I sang in a lullaby."
Adam rolled his eyes a bit, learning that his little Euphie likes that silly rhyme.
Belle looks down at her daughter. "She's a strange baby, alright. She likes silly yet adorable songs! Look, I've tried everything. I did classical nursery songs. I did Christmas songs. I even did sing the romantic ones. She only likes silly songs!"
"That's ridiculous and you know it," Adam tells her.

Two hours later, Adam is left alone with Euphemia in the nursery room since he had nothing to do aside from the royal duties as Belle has left for the Villeneuve village to visit Père Robert to donate him more books as an addition to the chapel's meager library. Adam picks up his nine month year old child as he bounces her up and down to get a reaction from her. He began to regret doing that when his daughter starts to cry.
"Shhhhh." he shushes her as he tries to rock Euphemia to sleep. It doesn't work as the baby cries harder. He waves his daughter's favorite rose shape rattle in front of her face but very quickly, Euphemia knocks it out of his hand.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Do you want me to sing you a bedtime song?" Adam asks as he tries to rub Euphemia's back to calm her down. The baby's cries soften a bit but it still rages on so Adam begins to hum the classical nursery rhyme like "Rock A Bye Baby", "Hey Diddle Diddle" or "patty-cake". But it didn't work too well for this infant princess as Euphemia begins to pull on his brown hair as she continues to wail.
Adam is in a panic now as the cries have become almost deafening to his ears. Any longer and he was sure that Princess Euphemia would end up straining or losing her voice. "Okay, okay, you want a silly song? Papa can sing a silly song for you."
He clears his throat as he claps his hand to start some sort of a beat. "Little baby, little pretty princess… oh who am I kidding… I can't sing a silly song."
If Euphemia was crying louder now, it was probably because that silly song he just did was so terrible. Adam sighs in defeat. "Euphie… you can't tell Maman I did this. Not that you would, since you're only nine months old…"
He clears his throat as he tries to empty his mind of all thoughts and channel what he thought some idiot person would do in a situation like this.
A is for Ant, B is for Bat, C is for Canary
D is for Duck, E is for Elephant, F is for Frog
G is for Gorilla, H is for Hippo, I is for Iguana
J is for Jaguar, K is for Kangaroo, L is for Lion
M is for Monkey, N is for Narwhal
O is for Owl, P is for Penguin, Q is for Quail
R is for Raccoon, S is for Squirrel, T is for Tiger
U is for Umbrella bird, V is for Vulture, W is for Whale
X is for Fox, Y is for Yak, Z is for Zebra
Euphemia slowly giggles and then begins to laugh as a delightful little sound comes out of her mouth. Gone were the days of screaming cries as a melodic sound fills the room. "Ohhh, you do have a precious laugh. You are a strange yet an adorable little baby," he nuzzles his nose against Euphemia's cheek as he picks her up from the couch.

When Belle returned home an hour later, Adam was pleased to inform her of his latest success. "Oh Belle, our little Euphie laughed again. It really was amazing."
"Ooh, what did you do, Adam?" Belle slowly removes her cloak then place it on the coat rack as she paces herself a bit fast over to see their daughter.
"Oh, you know… the rattle… the peek-a-boo, a bit of light singing…"
"You sang a silly song for her, didn't you?"
Adam sighs in defeat. "Yes."
Belle just smirks at him in triumph while their daughter, Euphemia just giggles causing Adam's lips curved into a small smile.
