Trisha Elric woke with a start when lightning flashed outside the window, quickly followed by thunder. She sighed softly, knowing it would be awhile before she would be able to fall asleep again, and quietly got out of bed. Trisha put on her night robe and, while quickly stealing a look at her husband, walked out of the room. Using the occasional lightning flash, she navigated through the hall to the room her two sons slept in. She opened the door as quietly as she could, so as not to wake her boys but was surprised to hear soft crying. A flash of lightning revealed the shivering forms of her children huddled under the blankets. Trisha, whose eyes were set in motherly concern, gently pulled the blanket away to see two tear-filled eyes. The youngest boy, Alphonse, quickly dove into his mother's arms when the thunder roared, while the eldest, Edward, quickly tried to wipe the tears from his face. Gently sitting on the bed while shifting a now sobbing Al to her left, she held out her hand to Edward, who still had tears in his eyes. Quickly giving in, he crawled next to his brother while grabbing his hand in an attempt to help give him more comfort. Trisha felt them both tense up when more lightning rumbled throughout the night so while hugging them closer she started to sing a lullaby she remembered her mother used to sing to her.
"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 tear stained face
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
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning"
She glanced at her sons and saw that Al, who was no longer sobbing, and Ed were staring at her with red, tired eyes.
"Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
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
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning"
Trisha smiled softly at the sight of her two sons, who were now yawning, their eyes barely able to stay open.
"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 for fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
Well now I am grown
And these years have shown
The rains a part of how life goes
But it's dark out, its late
So I'll hold you wait
Till your frightened eyes do close
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls in rivers and land
On forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning"
The storm had seemed to stop as gentle moonlight poured into the room, illuminating the faces of her sleeping boys. Carefully she slipped off the bed and tucked them in, while singing the last of the song softly.
"Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning"
She kissed their foreheads, smiled lovingly at them and quietly closed the door to go join her husband
"But I'll still be here in the morning"
