Sleep Now Nessie

(Nessie's 2 in this story)

(Nessie's POV)

"Sleep sweetheart" Daddy says as he kisses me.

"But your going to leave me" I cry and try to get into his arms but he pulls back.

"Hush child your grandpa is staying here with you" Daddy says as he kisses me.

"Stay until i sleep?" I ask.

"Of course" He whispers as he takes my hand in his and rubs circles on it as he hums my lullaby.

I fall asleep soon after.

BOOM

I wake up with a start and look at my clock 1:45 A.M.

Mommy and daddy left around 4 hours ago.

I start to go back to sleep when i hear the big boom again.

I scream in terror and hide in my closet.

"Nessie" i hear grandpa's velvet voice fill my room.

I sit in my closet still.

"nessie its ok" Grandpa says as my closet door opens and grandpa peers down at me.

I'm shaking in fear as i look up at him.

"Oh sweetheart come here" Grandpa says as he opens his arms for me as he kneels down.

I rush into his awaiting arms and bury myself into his chest as far as i can go.

He stands up and takes me back to my bed.

He sits down with me and rubs my back.

"It's ok nessie everything is fine" He whispers as he kisses me and hugs me.

I yawn and bury my head in his chest.

Grandpa starts to lay me back and i clutch on to him.

"Shh you need to sleep" Grandpa says.

"no" I cry and wiggle in his arms.

"Fine sweetheart" grandpa says and stands up. He takes me to his room and sits down.

"Nessie baby you need to sleep" he coos softly as he rocks from side to side.

"But i'm scared" i whimper as i hug myself to him more.

"Shh baby i'm not going to leave you" Grandpa says and loosens my grip.

"Stay with me?" I ask as i look up at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Of course sweet pea but i need to change into some more comfortable clothes" grandpa says as he stands up.

He sets me down on the bed and i go to cry but he shushes me.

"Hush sweetheart im just going to the closet to change." Grandpa says.

I nod my head and let grandpa go.

When he closes the closet door i scramble up and pull back the blankets and lay down under them.

Grandpa comes out and chuckles soflty.

He walks over to the bed and climbs in and lays next to me and holds me to him.

I sigh contentally and bury my head in grandma's pillow.

"Sleep now nessie your ok i wont let anything hurt you" Grandpa whispers in my ear and kisses my forehead.

I fall asleep soon after.
