21. Comfort

In most respects tonight was just like any other night, Emma Schuester and her husband had tucked their children into bed before retiring to their own room.

She fell asleep in her husband arms just like she usually does; her head resting on his chest and the peace fell on the Schuester household as all 4 occupants were asleep.

The peace was disturbed around 2am with the sound of whimpers coming from Cassie Schuester's room; she bolted up in bed reaching for her Simba who had fallen to the ground when she had tossed and turned and bolted out of her bedroom as fast as her little legs could carry her. She stopped outside her parents' door pushing it open slightly letting the light from the hallway slither its way through the darkness of their bedroom.

It disturbed Emma first, her forehead twitching but she remained asleep on her husband's chest – it was when she heard the whispers of her daughter calling for her did she come into consciousness.

"Mommy?"

Emma blinked her eyes open moving from her position to see her daughter shaking at her side of the bed.

"Cassie!" She replied alarmed "What is it? What happen?" She sleepily asked

"'ad a nightmare" Cassie tearfully replied breaking her mother's heart to see her daughter like this.

"Oh Cassie – come here" Emma made space between herself and Will – who was now just as awake as she- and gestured for Cassie to come in the middle of them.

"What happened Princess?" Will ruffled his daughter's hair as she and Simba settled in between her parents.

"Scar was stalking me!" She sobbed clutching her Simba as both Will and Emma at the same time wrapped their arms around her. "Simba and Nala were trying to get to me and stop him, but they couldn't get through the hyenas!"

Both Will and Emma shared a look, even though their daughter loved, adored The Lion King this wasn't the first time she had a nightmare about it but because their daughter loved the film so much, they also knew how to comfort her.

"What about Timon and Pumba – where were they?" Will asked tracing soothing patterns on his daughter's arms.

"They were with me" Cassie sniffed calming slightly in her parents embrace "They were protecting me till Simba and Nala could come"

"They're not about to let Scar get you now are they?" Emma asked kissing the top of Cassie's head as she shook it in agreement "and neither are we – Scar can't have you because we would never let him"

"No?" Cassie asked hopefully

"No" Emma agreed smiling "Do you want to stay with us tonight?"

"Please"

"OK" Will extended his arm to over Cassie and to rest on Emma's waist and she did the same to him.

"Try to go back to sleep sweetheart" Emma prompted as Cassie clutched Simba to her as she shut her eyes "We're not going to let anything happen to you"

"Night"

"Night princess"

Will and Emma watched fondly as they saw their daughter go back into dream world – but thankfully she seemed to be having a dreamless sleep.

"You know, I remember when you were convinced you were going to be a bad mother" Will mentioned as he tightened the grip on her waist

"Yeah" Emma replied sinking into her pillow

"Well I think you're just the best mother anyone could wish for!"

"You're not a too bad father yourself" Emma smiled "I think we make a good team though"

"Always" Will agreed smiling before reaching over Cassie's head to kiss his wife softly on the lips before closing his eyes to fall asleep with his two girls in his arms.
