I don't own anything. I wish I did but I don't. These are just going to be a series of one shots. Mostly centered on Maddie and Danny since . . . it is just so cute. PLease let me know what you all think.
"Danny. You need to go to sleep." Maddie held her youngest child close. Danny refused to fall asleep and clutched at her night shirt.
"No no no no." He shook his head, his black hair flying. "Wanna stay up wif you." He wrapped his little arms around her neck and Maddie started to feel her resolve weaken. He yawned and she smiled. She was surprised he had managed to stay awake this long. Already 3 in the morning and he had managed to hold out all night. She rubbed his back and sat on his bed and loosened his grip enough so he was sitting in her lap.
"How about a story then?"
Danny broke out into a sleep smile and scrambled for his favorite book before pushing it into her hand and pulled her to lie down next to him. "Read read."
Maddie beamed and looked at his choice. Jazz had picked it out for him and she had carefully added extra words just for him. "Once upon a time, there was a baby star. He lived next to the moon with his mommy and daddy and big sister. And every night at bedtime, the baby star would shine and shine, and fall and shoot and twinkle so bright all the other stars watched in amazement. And when day came and his mommy would call him to come in and sleep he would say, 'Mommy, I'll run away if you if you make me say good night.' And then his mommy would kiss his sparkly nose and say, 'No matter where you go, no matter where you are, no matter how big you grow, and even if you stray far, I'll love you forever, 'cause you'll always be my baby star.' And she would hug him close and tucked him into his cloud bed and kissed him goodnight until the next night when he would shine again."
Maddie looked down at her baby and smiled to see him sleeping, light little snores filling the room. SHe sighed in relief. He was finally asleep and now it was time for her to get a few hours of sleep before he woke up again.
