Chapter 5: Stories, Lullabies and Naps

Luna and Artemis got all of the babies in their cribs. "Ready to go to sleep little ones?" Luna said.

"Want Storwe." said Baby Amy.

"Storwe, Storwe!" the babies were all saying.

"I guess they want us to tell them a story." said Artemis.

"Ok what story do you little ones what to hear?" asked Luna.

The babies all had a different story they wanted to hear and since they were talking all at once and couldn't talk very well Luna couldn't tell what they wanted to hear. "How about a new story?" the babies all cheered. "Ok then, once upon a time around a far away star there were these beautiful kingdoms on nine planets and a moon."

The Babies didn't seem to understand but listened just the same.

"Each of the kingdoms had a beautiful little princess and a hansom little prince. They were given all the toys they wanted and have all the cookies and cake they could eat. Every night there was a party and each they day the princes got more and more hansom and the princesses became more and more beautiful. One day an evil witch cast a spell on them taking them away from the beautiful kingdoms forever. But a fairy turned them into babies and took them to a good mommy and daddy who would take care of them and they all lived happily ever after."

It seemed as if all of the babies were fast asleep. "That story seemed to be familiar." said Artemis. "Though I don't remember anything about them getting all the toys, ice cream and cookies they wanted."

"Poetic license, I thought they would pay more attention if I embellished the truth a little."

"Well since they are asleep how about we do what all parents do when the kids are asleep?" Artemis said with a suggestive voice.

"Mama, Dada." Baby Serena said.

"You're awake?" said Luna.

"Want Wulwebuy."

"Lullaby? Ok, we'll both sing."

They both started to sing as Luna cuddled Baby Serena. "Go to sleep, baby sweet. Wake up with a smile. Close your eyes, dream sweet dreams. Where you laugh and play. And with the morning sun comes a new day, to greet with open arms."

Baby Serena quietly yawned and went to sleep. "Finally." said Luna as she put Serena in her crib. "They look so cute and peaceful when they're sleeping."

"Defiantly." said Artemis with a yawn.

"Makes you want to..." and they both feel asleep on the crib room floor.
