I don't own the song "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins... OkaY?
Summary: OMG! Gaara can sing?! wow that's new….. well read this if you want to know Gaara's Song…
Gaara's PoV
I went to the nursery room to see the child… wait no scratch that… my child. I arrived at the room to see a baby peacefully sleeping in the crib, wrapped in a blue cloth, only revealing its beautiful face and unruly crimson hair. I observed the baby closely and concluded that it can pass as my 'mini me', it really looks like me except for the eyebrows, dark circles in the eyes and the tattoo on the forehead.
But for some unknown reason, the baby started crying. At first, I don't know what to do but then I remembered my wife cradling the baby when it was crying.
So I lifted the baby into my arms but still it won't stop in crying. Then an idea pops into my head.
I cradled the baby then began to sing a song to him.
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
The baby immediately stopped crying and looked at me with its big emerald eyes. As if it understand the words that it heard in the song.
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
The baby lifted its tiny hands, trying to touch my face. I caught its tiny fists with my hands and brought it into my chest where my heart lies.
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
The baby stared at me and cooed.
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
When I finished the song, the baby clapped its hands and giggled. I was about to put it back to the crib when I heard someone clapping. I turned then, to find a beautiful lady with pink hair and stunning emerald eyes standing at the doorway.
"Wow! I didn't know that the Godaime Kazekage could sing. Let alone sing a lullaby to his son." My wife said with a teasing smile in her angelic face.
I glared at her; I really hate it when she annoys me.
"I was just trying to put our son to sleep, Sakura." I said sarcastically.
She smiled then walked up to me and gave me and our son a peck in the cheek.
"Oh. And how's my little baby boy? Can't he sleep without mommy? hmmm?" she said while tickling our son.
"He's peacefully sleeping when I found him here but after a while, he started to cry." I said while transferring the baby in Sakura's arms.
"Poor little baby, you had a bad dream, don't you? Did you miss mommy?" She said while playing with our son.
The baby cooed and then suddenly made a gurgling sound. We both laugh at this, then I hug them both.
"I'm glad that I have you both." I said with a smile. My wife turned then to give me a kiss which I returned then I gave my son a peck on his forehead.
