Silent Lucidity

Note: This is my FIRST songfic, so be gentle, please. This song was written and performed by Queensryche, which, if I may add, is the best band in existence! *Ahem* and with that said, read the stupid fic!!

Vegeta was awakened to noisy crying. This went on about every night, but only when he went to sleep, ironically. By now, he had got used to being wakened to the Woman's tossing and turning, rain, or their newfound child's loud cry.
He got out of bed with annoyance and quietly stepped into Bra's room. The rain was pounding hard on the window of the nursery; it made even him want to shout at it.
Vegeta was startled to hear an ear-deafening strike of lightning, making Bra cry even louder. After making sure his heart didn't jump out of his chest, he silently walked over to the crib.
He stared at her with wonder. 'She looks so much like her mother.' He thought to himself. Without another thought, he picked her up, cradled her in his strong arms, and began to sing a lullaby that his mother sang to him when he was little.

Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over...or has it just begun?

Before continuing, Vegeta made sure nobody was behind him eavesdropping on his song. It was definitely something he rarely did. Bra's crying had just about stopped now, but she would occasionally hiccup a sob or two. He cradled her closer in his big, strong arms and continued.

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...in Silent Lucidity

Vegeta stopped for a second and stared at Bra. 'She's so beautiful.' He thought. She definitely looked like her mother; only she had the childish innocence a baby could have in her eyes. He smiled at her in a way that could only represent the love between a father and his child. It was a rare look that even Trunks had received few times. He continued without remorse.

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you...

He stopped, realizing that the child had been asleep for a long time. After glancing at her once more, he gently set her down in her crib. And silently walked away. It startled him to run into none other than Bulma herself, who had apparently been eavesdropping.
Giving her a glare as he walked by her, he lied down in bed and pulled the blankets close to his strong chin.
Bulma got in bed and cuddled close to her Saiya-jin prince and fell into Silent Lucidity.
