Looking Back

Chapter 24: Sleeping Child

Neo's POV

The Milky Way upon the heavens

Is twinkling just for you

And Mr. Moon he came by

To say goodnight to you

I looked at Trinity a bit worriedly, as her exhausted eyes fluttered open and stared at him, with a look full of passion and kindness. "Trinity?" I was still a bit shocked with everything that had happened, Trinity was moaning and screaming of frustration just moments back, and he wanted to make sure she was still safe. "Hmm?" She mumbled a bit, but she didn't move. "Are you OK?" I stared at her eyes, which were half closed. "Where's my baby?" Trinity stared lightly at me, "Where is he?" I smiled a bit at her and stood up, walking to a little crib placed on the side of the bed. I gently lifted the light bundle into my arms, caressing it in my chest, amazed, full of wonder...

***

I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother

We're praying for the world

And for the people everywhere

Going to show them all we care

***

"Is that really him?" Trinity asked, full of awe and wonder as I set the toddler in her arms. "I promise you, that's him..." I smiled widely. I wasn't supposed to be in Zion as I was that day, but I made sure I was able to catch up to when Trinity was gong to give birth. "He looks so... precious..." she was smiling brightly, her eyes sparkling up. "I know..." I crawled into the bed and kissed her gently on the forehead, sitting beside her and just staring at the baby, in a trance.

***

Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild

But you've build your own paradise

That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

***

I'd never seen Trinity act so... adorable, as if there was no trouble in life at all... Not that she didn't look as good any other time. I stared at her and smiled softly, planting a kiss on her head as I wrapped my arms around her, her head on my chest. Then Trinity looked up at me with soft eyes, "Neo, suddenly I don't know if I actually am fit to be a mother..."

***

If all the people around the world

They had a mind like yours

There'd be no fighting, and no war

There would be lasting peace on Earth

***

I stared at her with my most earnest eyes and sighed softly, holding her tight as I looked deep into those beautiful blue pools of brilliance, and I said softly, "Trinity, you know what?" I sat closer to her, if that was possible, "You'll make it..." Trinity looked at me a bit miserably, "I don't think I can be... sensitive enough."

***

If all the kings and all the leaders

Could see you here this way

They would hold the Earth in their arms

They would learn to watch you play

***

I smiled again, "You are the most caring person I know." I kissed her gently on the cheek, "And I'm definitely sure you'll be a great mom. You just have to believe in yourself, because you are the sweetest person I have ever known." I picked a stray strand of her hair and I tucked it behind her ear.

***

Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild

But you've build your own paradise

That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child

***

She just smiled lightly and leaned into my touch, watching the baby as he yawned and closed his eyes. "I think you need a bit of sleep too, Trinity." I kissed her and gently took the baby from her, as I leaned her down to the bed, making sure she was comfortable. "I love you so much..." I sighed and she smiled, closing her eyes. "Get to sleep, Trin, you must be really tired." I looked at the baby for a while and just smiled, "We'll have to take care of mommy, huh?"

***

I'm going to cover my sleeping child

Keep you away from the world so wild
