Forever Young
"May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young.."
Bob Dylan – Forever Young
The bed was still warm when Rachel sunk down into the mattress again. The dusky light from the window let her know that she could still go back to sleep for a while. Burrowing under the now slightly cool covers she let herself relax again and felt sleep come creeping in.
"She asleep again?" asked a sleep roughened voice next to her in bed.
She turned around and came face to face with beautiful half-lidded hazel eyes, a chiselled face and a muscled arm connected to the hand that was currently reaching towards her across the bed. Her husband. Her Noah.
"Mhmm" She answered shortly, already on her way back to sleep now that he was in the process of dragging her towards him and tucking her against the front of his warm body.
He listened to her breathing evening out as she quickly fell asleep with her head snuggled into his neck. These late night feedings were exhausting for both of them, but they had a pretty good routine going now with little Caroline.
As the perfect mix of her parents Caroline was just as relaxed and laidback as her dad, unless she became really unhappy and had one of her "Mini-Diva-Tantrums" as he liked to call them. That was what had driven Rachel out of bed in the first place, Caroline had used her already excellent lung capacity, which she definitely had inherited from her mom, to make them aware that she was very much awake and hungry.
His precious daughter was asleep again and now that his wife had returned to their bed he could feel himself slowly sinking back into dreamscape. He made sure that the light on the baby monitor was on and tucked the covers closely around Rachel.
Just as he fell asleep he heard a quietly whispered "Love you".
Yeah, life was finally good.
The End
AN: Oh wow, my first very own fanfic! Never thought I would write down something of my own, but here we are.
Since I have a slight allergy to songfics I just used the song for a bit of inspiration but not inspiration inspiration.. Yeah.. Sort of.. But anyway, Bob Dylan is one of my all time favorites and Audra Mae's cover of Forever Young is currently on repeat on my computer. If you haven't heard her a cappella version of this song yet you just have to check it out, NOW!
Since english is not my first language, there's probably some grammar errors in there. Hope you survived anyway.
