-1I only own Jess and Karolina. Mickey belongs to ITV The Bill (sadly) and the song is Lullaby for a stormy night by Vienna Teng.
Jess and Mickey were asleep when there was a flash of lightning and Karolina came running in crying,
"Come here darling." Jess said picking her up and there was big bang of thunder and Karolina buried her face in Jess's shoulder crying.
Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight
She sat down next to Mickey and rocked her back and forth talking softly to her.
"Shhh its ok Karolina don't worry. The thunder can't hurt you darling." Jess sighed rocking her back and forth rubbing her hair.
"Its loud" Whimpered Karolina.
"I know darling I know." Jess said rocking her back and forth trying to calm her down and Mickey rubbed Karolina's shoulder.
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
Karolina clutched at Jess crying each time there was bang of thunder or a flash of lightning. She sighed trying to calm down Karolina kissing her forehead.
Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Soon Karolina started to calm down as Jess started to sing to her and Mickey put a cot next to their bed for Karolina to sleep in.
Jess smiled at Mickey and laid Karolina down in the cot and tucked her in and rubbed her shoulder hoping she might fall asleep.
For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close
Soon Karolina fall asleep and Jess dimmed the lights not wanting to scare Karolina and crawled next to Mickey falling asleep in his arms. The storm soon disappeared and everything was at peace again.
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning
