Ok, so a lot of you have been asking for this chapter and I finally had an urge to write it ;) I hope you like it! Happy reading!!

Little Bitty Pretty One

"How did we ever do this?"

Johnny looked from the screaming toddler to his wife and back again. Lulu took a pink stuffed rabbit and waved it in front of the child, trying to make her stop her sobbing. However, Eden Georgiana Spinelli, the only grandchild of the respective Zacchara and Spinelli clans, was not having it. She wailed loudly and Lulu grimaced.

"We should be good at this! We had two of these!" she cried, completely exasperated.

"Yeah… but we were younger… much younger…" he said and Lulu's nostrils flared.

"Are you calling me old?" she fumed and Johnny immediately began to backpedal underneath his wife's cold glare.

"Of course not! And besides, what does that make me? I'm older than you, remember?" he said and she rolled her eyes.

Ava and Maxie were in Paris covering fashion week for Crimson and Gavin was busy with finishing his dissertation for the PhD program that he was enrolled in and couldn't provide the constant supervision of their two and a half year old daughter and when Spinelli had come down with a cold at the last minute, Johnny and Lulu immediately and enthusiastically volunteered to watch Eden for the week.

"Come on, sweetie… can you smile for your Grandpa Johnny?" he asked as he took the fussing child from his wife's arms.

But Eden was not having it. She wailed louder, making her little cheeks turn red, and Lulu cringed at the shrill cry that came from this tiny human being. Nothing was working. She had already eaten, been changed and had every single toy that Ava had packed for her taken out. She and Johnny had even pulled every single funny face that they could think of, some of them spooking the little girl even more, but it was no use. She didn't even want to play with Lulu's treasured necklaces that usually Eden couldn't help but to grab whenever Lulu wore them.

"What did we do when Ava and Regan were little?" Johnny asked.

"Like I would know… all I know was that you were the only one who could calm them down when they went into one of their fits…" she sighed.

"Come on, Lu… unless if you want her to scream for the rest of the night…" he said, rocking Eden back and forth, and she gasped.

"You used to sing to them! That's what it was! You used to sing until they fell asleep!" she cried excitedly and Johnny grimaced.

"My voice isn't what it used to be…" he started and she rolled her eyes.

"Now is not the time to be modest, Johnny… and besides, she's not going to be much of a critic… she can't even talk yet…" she said.

Johnny sighed, knowing that he had to at least try, because at this rate, there was no way that either of them were going to be getting any sleep tonight. He carried Eden over to Lulu's rocking chair, the one that had belonged to Laura, and started singing.

"Got to be there… got to be there… in the morning, when she says hello to the world… got to be there… got to be there… bring her good times and show her that she's my girl… oh, what a feeling there'll be… the moment I know she loves me… 'cause when I look in her eyes, I realize… I need her sharing the world beside me…" he started.

Upon hearing her grandfather's soothing voice, Eden's cries began to soften. She knelt down next to the rocking chair, watching Eden look up at Johnny intently as he sang. He gently wiped the tears away from her small cheeks and smiled warmly down at the small little girl and continued to rock back and forth.

"So, I've got to be there… got to be there in the morning and welcome her into my world… and show her that she's my girl… when she says, hello world…" he sang.

Johnny gently stroked Eden's golden curls and she curled up into his chest. Lulu smiled and looked down at her granddaughter and found her fast asleep, hand clinging to Johnny's black shirt. She began to laugh but quickly covered her mouth, not wanting to wake her back up. Johnny let out a sigh of relief and chuckled softly.

"Nice work, Zacchara…" Lulu whispered.

"Thanks…" he chortled.

He gently rose, making sure not to disturb Eden's slumber. The two of them walked upstairs and into the twin's old bedroom, which had been made into a nursery/guest room. Johnny gingerly placed the little girl into her crib, gently prying her small fingers from his shirt. Lulu bent over and placed a kiss on Eden's forehead while Johnny pulled her pink blanket over her. She looked so peaceful as she slept that it was almost hard to believe that this little girl was screaming at the top of her lungs just fifteen minutes ago. With their granddaughter completely settled down for the night, Johnny and Lulu made their way to the door.

"You used to sing that song to Ava and Regan all the time…" Lulu whispered as she picked up the baby monitor and Johnny nodded.

"It was their favorite when they were little… they could be having the worst tantrum ever but as soon as the song was finished, they were out like lights…" he chuckled as he closed the door behind him.

"How come you don't sing to me?" she asked as she began preparing to finally go to sleep. Johnny paused, as if he were deep in thought, and then shrugged.

"I don't know… you throw tantrums enough so maybe I should start… maybe it'll calm you down…" he laughed but she was not amused by his joke.

"Oh really?" she asked, pulling back the sheets on their bed.

"I'm just kidding, Lulu… would you like me to sing to you?" he asked, as one of his boyish grins spread across his face.

"No…" she grumbled, turning away from him and burying herself underneath the covers.

Johnny just laughed and turned out the light. Lulu soon felt his arms snake around her and pulled her into his embrace. He kissed her cheek and began humming the song from earlier. The scowl on her face quickly melted and she relaxed into his arms

"That's why I've got to be there… got to be there where love begins… and that's everywhere she goes… I've got to be there so she knows... that when she's with me, she's home…" he whispered.

A/N (Part 2): The song is "Got to be There" by Michael Jackson… I seem to be in a MJ mood lately but this song holds a special place for me because my mom used to sing it to me when I was little... I thought that it was a perfect song for Johnny to sing to all of his girls :)
