(Olivia's last POV) -16 months later-
I sat in the rocking chair next to the crib, holding the baby. The little girl giggled in my arms, not going to sleep. She held my finger with a strong grip, liking the diamond ring Wade gave me. Heh, mama's little muscle-girl. She had my red hair and Wade's hazel eyes.
"Little Scarlet, the girl with super-strength and a power to control plants." I smiled and tried my best not to swear around her, "I don't know where you got that but then again my mom and dad didn't have similar powers like thing kids too."
I thought it was weird how some parents talked to their kids with baby-talk so I didn't use it.
"I swear, you must eat an energy bar every time I'm not looking" I yawned, seeing the numbers 2:00 on the digital clock. "Fine, I give, I'll sing the lullaby I hate but you love." I cleared my throat.
"Little child,
Be not afraid.
The rain pounds harsh against the glass,
Like an unwanted stranger.
There is no danger,
I am here tonight.
.
Little child,
Be not afraid.
The thunder explodes and lightning flash,
Illuminates...your tearstained face.
I am here tonight.
.
And someday, you'll know that nature is so.
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land,
And forest and sand,
Makes the beautiful world that you see,
In the morning.
.
Little child,
Be not afraid.
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beans still keep pleasant dreams.
I am here tonight.
.
Little child,
Be not afraid.
The wind makes creatures of our trees;
And the branches to hands.
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight.
.
And someday, you'll know that nature is so.
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land,
And forest and sand,
Makes the beautiful world that you see,
In the morning.
.
For you know, once even...I...was a little child...
And I was afraid.
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears,
Trade sweet sleep for the fears and to give a kiss goodnight.
.
Well, now I am grown
And these days have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes.
But it's dark and it's late,
So I hold you and wait
'Til your frightened eyes do close.
.
And someday, you'll know that nature is so.
The same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land,
And forest and sand,
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning.
.
Everything's fine in the morning.
The rain will be gone in the morning,
But I'll still be here in the morning…" I sang, seeing her out like a light bulb.
"Huh, mama's got some pipes" Wade stood in the doorway.
I stood up and gently placed Scarlet in the crib. A pair of warm hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me towards a heated body.
"Wow, just couldn't wait for me in the bed, huh?" I smiled, turning my head to kiss him.
Almost without any strain, he picked me up in his arms and walked over to the bed. Gently, he laid me down on the bed and crawled on top of me, still kissing me. When we broke, I just stared lovingly into his eyes and my hand reached over to the nightstand, turning off the lamp with a slight tug.
(Aww, how sweet. Also, if anyone hasn't noticed, I named the baby, Scarlet, after xXthe. scarlet. roseXx because she commented the most and was very sweet ;D)
