Thanks for taking the time to review, I really appreciate it! To the guest that asked if I am going to add onto this story, yes I am. :) My plan is to make a bunch of random chapters about the happenings of this family. I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

It was 8:30 p.m, also known as a certain four year olds bedtime. Brynn was sitting on the floor of her perfectly purple bedroom, playing with her Lalaloopsy dolls.

"Miss Bea, do you want to have some tea?" Brynn talked quietly for her dolls. She always preferred to play by herself, because that way she could control everything that happened in her little games.

"It's time for bed, pretty girl." Jade said as she entered Brynn's room.
"Alright mommy, just lemme put my loopsys in their beds. They have to sleep too you know, because if they don't, they get veeeery cranky!"

"Right, and we wouldn't want a bunch of cranky, button-eyed, big-headed dolls."

"Mommy…" Brynn said in her warning tone. No one was to make fun of her precious dolls; it made her angry when they did.

"Sorry, sorry. Come on, get into bed Little B."

Brynn climbed into her "big girl bed" that she had recently upgraded too. It was still a little too tall for her to get on and off of by herself, someone always had to help her.

Jade pulled back the covers and Brynn climbed in, resting her head on her array of purple pillows. Purple was her favorite color, every inch of her room was covered with it.

"Mommy.." Brynn yawned.

"Yes, baby?"
"I love you."

"I love you too, pretty girl." Jade said as she turned off the lights.

Jade left the door to her daughter's room cracked and quietly made her way down the hall.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Time had gone by quickly for Beck and Jade since their daughter had gone to sleep. They had managed to clean a few messes, watch a movie, and just sit and talk to each other – something that they didn't get to do very often. They were just starting to fall asleep when Jade heard something terrifying.

"Hey Beck?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you hear that?"

They stopped to listen for a moment. At first, there was nothing but silence. Soon enough, a scream came echoing down the halls and into their bedroom. Beck didn't miss a beat, he knew just exactly who was screaming and he had to stop whatever was causing it.

He flew out of their bedroom and into Brynn's, where he found her screaming and thrashing about in her bed.
"Brynn! Brynn, what is it?" He screamed as he walked closer to her. There was no noticeable danger in the room, and he couldn't figure out what had her screaming like that. The lights flashed on as Jade entered the room, she joined Beck next to their screaming daughter.
"Brynn, stop! What is wrong? Baby, stop and tell me what's going on!" Jade yelled as she pulled her screaming daughter into her lap.

Brynn continued to kick and scream, her eyes remaining closed as she did so. She was pushing her mother away and yelling incoherent phrases.

Jade laid her daughter back down on the bed, and her kicking slowed a bit.

Beck looked at his little girl, confused and completely heart broken because he couldn't seem to help her.
"Shhh Brynn, it's alright. You're okay sweetheart, we're here." Beck cooed as he rubbed her back.

Her screaming only seemed to get louder, like she was afraid of his touch.
"Look at her face, Beck. She's terrified.."

"But her eyes are closed, and she doesn't seem to acknowledge that we're here. I don't get it."

They sat there for what felt like hours, trying to soothe their screaming daughter.

"I can't take this!" Jade yelled.

She picked up her crying baby and held her close, singing softly to her as she rocked her back and forth. Brynn started to cry and scream even louder.
"No, no! Leave me 'lone!" Brynn mumbled through her screams.

"Jade you're making her worse!"

Tears were streaming down Jade's face, as she wanted nothing but to help her little girl; but she couldn't, no matter how hard she tried. She put Brynn back down and sat with her head in her hands.

Beck pulled Jade onto his lap and held her, but kept one hand on his daughters arm, gently rubbing his thumb over her skin. This is the way that they stayed until Brynn's screams finally stopped, and she fell back into a deep sleep.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

"Daddy! Wake up!"

Beck opened his eyes to find his daughter sitting on his chest. He pulled her down next to him and hugged her tight.
"Good morning babygirl." He kissed her forehead.

"Moenin' daddy. Why are you and mommy in my bed? Big girls are supposed to sleep by their self!"
Beck hadn't noticed before, but he was indeed in his daughter's bed.

"Mommy and I must've fallen asleep in here after your little episode last night. What was that about, anyways?"

"What are you talkin' 'bout?" Brynn tilted her head to the side with a confused look on her face.
"You know.. When you were screaming?"
"You're crazy, daddy. Now get up, I want panny cakes!"

"But I want snuggles!" Beck jokingly whined as he held onto his little girl.
"Stop, daddy! Panny cakes!" Brynn giggled.
Jade begin to stir and grumble in her sleep, she hated to be woken up.
"Shhhh, you'll wake mommy." Beck whispered.
Brynn mimicked his shushing motion and quietly giggled. She carefully climbed over her mother and jumped off of the bed.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

The scent of pancakes filled the air all throughout the house, and the distant sound of father-daughter chit chat could be heard from almost any room.
"So what did you dream about, Sassy?" Beck asked his daughter, hoping it would help her remember what happened last night.
"I don't know, I think it was a 'Punzel dream. We were princesses together! Mother Gothel and her boys showed up though and it got scary.." The tiny girl trailed off as she took another bite of her pancakes.
"Well what happened?"
"I dunno." Brynn shrugged as she gulped down the rest of her glass of milk.
"Oh, alright. But things got good again, right?"
"Yep!"
"It didn't sound like anything was good last night." Jade said as she entered the room.
Beck gave her a look, hoping she wouldn't mention any more about the incident. He knew Brynn didn't remember, and he didn't want to scare her.
"Brynn, why don't you go upstairs? You can watch cartoons in our room, I'll be up soon."
"Ok daddy! Love you much!" Brynn said as she left the room.
"She doesn't remember, Jade."
"What do you mean she doesn't remember? How can she not remember screaming like that?"
"I don't know, but she has no clue about anything that happened."

XOXOXOXOXOXO

"Hi Beck! Hi Jade!" Cat said in her usual happy voice.
"Oh, Cat. Lovely to see you at nine o'clock in the morning." Jade said, sarcasm dripping off of every word she said.
"I know! I decided to come see you because I miss you and Brynn. She's so cute!"
"Right, come in.." Beck said as he held the door open.

Cat walked happily into the house, seating herself on their couch.

"You two look tired. Why are you so tired?"

"Brynn." Jade replied as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Let me explain," Beck jumped in as he sat next to Cat. "Brynn woke up around two last night, screaming and crying for no apparent reason. She wouldn't respond to anything we said to her, and she just kept screaming for hours."

Jade looked up, trying to keep tears from escaping again from the memory of it all.
"Night terrors." Cat said suddenly.

"Excuse me?" Jade said, clearly confused as to what was just said.

"She was having a night terror. I used to get them when I was a little girl. It was a nightmare, but she's in some weird deep sleep phase where she can scream and cry without waking herself up. She probably doesn't remember though.. Or at least I never remembered when it happened to me."

"So it's not a one time thing?"

"It wasn't for me, I had them every night. Maybe it's different for different people though! Because my mom used to tell my brother that people are always different and that's why he-"

"Thank you Cat." Jade interrupted. She took her cup of coffee and walked up the stairs, soaking in all of the information that her best friend just told her.

I know this one is way different from the first chapter, but I wanted to see if I could write about this subject. One of my sisters has night terrors and I wanted to try portraying them in my story.
