A/N: Day Ten - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep. This song doesn't exactly putting me to sleep but it is relaxing - "Everything's Alright" from Jesus Christ Superstar. I liked the idea of using Jim for this one :)
Day Ten: Everything's Alright
…
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
And we want you to sleep well tonight.
…
Anyone who knew Jim Taggart would have been surprised, and possibly touched, if they could see him at this precise moment.
Jean, who had paused in the doorway, was certain that it would be a sight she would always remember.
Crouching down by his daughter's bed Jim was dutifully checking under it for monsters before moving over to the wardrobe to check inside.
"There," he said, returning to Alison's bedside, "no monsters, everything's alright," he assured her, tucking her in more securely as he did so.
Alison regarded him seriously, "Are you sure Daddy?"
Jim favoured her with the smile he reserved just for her, "I'm positive. I won't let anything hurt you," he promised.
Satisfied with his answer, Alison snuggled further under the covers with her favourite doll, "I love you Daddy," she said softly as he kissed her forehead.
"I love you too," he answered.
Jean smiled and paused for a moment to take in the sight of him with their daughter before making her presence known to give Alison her own good night wishes.
