A/N: Hey guys! I know it's been awhile and sorry about that but I've had writer's block and I've been trying to make time to hang out with my friends for over summer since we go in between two places a lot. Now I'll start the chapter! Also, italics are the lyrics to the lullaby.
Young Babies Chapter 14: Lullaby
Third Person's P.O.V.
It was around two o'clock in the morning when everybody was woken by the sound of a baby's cries. The baby they found out was Dick and he was scared of the thunderstorm going on outside but no matter what anybody did, he wouldn't wake up and stop crying. It woke up the other kids and they started to cry and wouldn't stop. Wolf was comforting Conner and Om Nom was comforting Dick.
"C'mon Wally, it's okay, just go back to sleep."
"Conner, I'm right here, it's okay."
"M'gann, please."
"Roy, I'm not good at calming people down so please just stop for me."
"Artemis, it's alright, Dinah's here."
"Kaldur, this is not like you."
"Raquel, Augustus is here, just go back to sleep."
"Dickie, just wake up, Daddy's right here."
All of them tried everything and nothing would work until Diana began to sing a song.
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 river and land
And forest 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
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 river and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning.
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
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and lands
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
Every baby had gone back to sleep and were now silent.
"Where'd you learn that lullaby?" Barry whispered as they all began to walk back to their separate rooms.
"I used to be afraid of storms myself and my mother would sing me that lullaby until I got over my fear," Diana whispered back.
"Well, it became very useful in this situation," J'onn said," Goodnight everybody."
Everybody went to their separate rooms with the kids but Diana was stopped by Bruce.
"Great job."
"Thank you."
Diana stood up on her tippy toes, gave Bruce a kiss, and left to her own room with Zatanna. Bruce looked down at Dick and smiled before going into his own room.
A/N: What did ya think? I know it was short but I couldn't really think of how to make it longer. At least it was cute 3. The song is Lullaby for a stormy night by Vienna Teng. See you later!
