The mommy adventures of:
Annabeth Chase-Jackson
Featuring: Her son, Charles Luke Jackson
Sleep
(Annabeth's POV)
2:34 am...
I was in my work room, designing a new building for Hermes, because he needs help and some rest after delivering mails for a long time.
I placed the blue prints on my work table and then a knock came from my door. "Coming." If it's Percy, he must be sleepwalking again. I opened the door and it showed my 3-year-old son, rubbing his eyes with his sleeve while holding his panda bear Percy gave him when he was 2. "Mommy?"
His adorable voice always get me. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" I picked him up and began to cradle him. "I can't sleep." He yawned then he snuggled against my body. I kissed his forehead and brought him to his room.
When we reached his room, I placed him on his bed and tucked him in.
"Do you want mommy to sing you a song?" I asked, stroking his hair lightly. "Yes, mommy." He hugged my leg with his panda bear and closed his eyes.
I smiled softly.
Every time when he wants me to sing, I always sing him his favorite song, Lead me home, and it usually makes him feel calm and sleepy. I held his tiny hand and began to sing. "Oh won't you lead me home to you... To all the strength and peace you gave... Tomorrow`s harbor opens out her arms... Sends the watch tower on the wave..."
"Light the way to shore... Bravely breaking through, lead me home... Lead me home... Oh lead me home to you..." The next thing I knew was Luke was already sleeping, loosely hugging my leg.
I tucked him again, this time, making sure he was going to sleep well in a few hours. "Good night, Luke."
I gave him one last kiss good night and closed his door quietly. I walked back to my work room but stopped. Maybe I should sleep...
It's already 2:46 am, and I have work at 8:00 am.
I sighed and walked straight to my room. When I went in, Percy was still sleeping. I could see some drool over at my spot... Seaweed brain.
I lied down next to my husband and smiled. "Good morning." I kissed him on his cheek before falling asleep next to him.
Author's note:
Hey guys, did you enjoy that? Actually, writer's block, popped out of my head, started to write this and the other chapters... Meh. Sorry if it's stupid and short... I'm still out of creative ideas. I can't even think the next chapter of my current priority: It's a Jackson thing... By the way, for the lyrics, credit for Jessica Sanchez' "Lead me home".
