Hello there! Okay, I am doing a series of little oneshots, going to be 1000 words MAX, for scenes that I was going to put into Papa Vlad but decided against it. I was quite happy to find out that people actually liked PV! There are 4 in total. Well, enjoy!

I somewhat wish I had done this scene in the first place…and I'm referencing the song My Lullaby from the Lion King 2…I blame Monster-House-Fan92 for that.

Lullaby

When Maddie said that Danny was fussy about taking a nap, she wasn't kidding!

Vlad had tried everything he could think of to try to get the little ghost to at least calm down enough so he could take care of other important tasks. But Danny wouldn't do anything besides crawl around the floor and bite at his cape.

Strange, the weapon Jack and Maddie made must change ghosts to the teething stage of infancy.

Vlad sighed and sat Danny on the floor to think of some way to get the brat to fall asleep. He didn't want to use the remaining bottle just yet; he needed to wait for the right moment. Walking off to the other side of the room, he hummed softly, trying to ignore Danny's small babbling for his ''papa''.

With the way he was giggling, Danny wasn't going to calm down any time soon.

"Daniel, will you please…" Vlad walked over to him and sat cross-legged on the floor.

Lifting Danny in the air, he stared with annoyance and curiosity about how hyper this boy could get. All the boy was doing was squirming in his grip, giggling like no tomorrow, and babbling nonsense. He knew that if anything like this happened ever again, he would never give Danny a sugar cube to suck on.

"Might as well give it one last try…" Vlad mumbled holding Danny to his chest.

Danny looked up at him and started to squirm even more than before. Vlad started to slowly rock him, pacing around the room. He started to hum out of habit, not even sure what the tune was, but when he looked down at Danny he seemed to have calmed down a bit. Looking up at Vlad with neon green eyes, he popped his little gloved thumb into his mouth, cooing softly although the sound was muffled by the appendage in his mouth. Vlad shook his head and chuckled.

"As if you were listening to my humming." He said to himself.

He mentally slapped himself, of course he was listening! Singing always calmed even the most bratty of children. Well, Vlad knew for sure he wasn't going to sing the "go to sleep" nonsense or anything else related to it. He thought it was pointless and down right annoying to sing that to a child who would wake up five minutes later and scream like they had never made a noise before in their life.

He decided that he would create his own lullaby for the little ghost child.

Vlad started humming a different tune now, softly at first but finally, he started to sing.

"Sleep my little Daniel, let your dreams take wing…One day when you're big and strong, you will be a king," Alright, even if Vlad wasn't the greatest singer around, he voice was sure doing the trick. Danny finally stopped his moving around in his arms and snuggled into his uncle's chest, listening to the beating of his heart.

Vlad continued singing the song softly, humming at some points at the parts he didn't quiet remember. Danny yawned loudly as Vlad continued the song, getting into it, his voice not even sounding like his own. It had a gentler tone to it that would never have left his mouth, but seeing on how much it calmed the little ghost, he stood with it. Vlad had a bit of a bounce to his step walking around the room, almost as if he was about to dance.

"Now the past I've tried forgetting and my foes I could forgive. Trouble is I know it's petty. But I hate it let them live!" Now Vlad was really getting into it. Jack's goofy, moronic face flooded his head, almost making him yell out the last word he sang. Danny seemed unfazed by it, his eyes drooping slightly. Vlad continued to sing, smiling at Danny grabbed onto the skin tight fabric of his suit. His red eyes almost seemed to have lit up at that.

"Jack is gone…but Vladdie's still around. To love this little lad…" He smirked to himself at the small change of names from the actual lyrics to the song. Danny gave a small giggle and his grip tightened on the white suit. Vlad hummed some more, not wanting to ruin the boy's calm mood. Sitting down in a chair, he rocked Danny slowly and continued to sing the lullaby, the boy's neon eyes half closed. He was so content right now. Vlad wished it would last longer, but of course, Maddie called not to long ago saying they would be there to pick Danny up soon. He would do just about anything to make the time go by slower, maybe even send a clone to destroy the weapon Jack and Maddie were trying to hard to fix. He thought against it though, Danny would be very angry if he found out he did that. Vlad hummed the last a bit more and finally sang the last line to the song.

"That's my lullaby…" Vlad sighed and looked down at Danny, who was finally fighting off sleep. He smiled and walked up to the kitchen, grabbing the last bottle and heating it up a bit warmer than the last two he had.

"I'd say it's time for a nap, wouldn't you agree Little Badger?"

YAY! I finished it! It's just a bit under 1000 words, but who cares…And I thank my sister for suggesting this song, for once it's a song that would actually fit, I just hope I got it right for this. Well anyway, there are 3 remaining one shots that will be put together into this. I hope you enjoyed!
