Come Home

Chapter Two- Hush Little Baby.

"Mommy, I can't sleep, the storm is keeping me up," the little girl said, padding into the kitchen.

"It woke me up too, how about we go to mommy's big bed and I'll sing you a song."

"Okay," the little girl agreed and led the way, with Haley following, turning off the kitchen light.

--------------------------

"Hush little baby, don't say a word

Momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird.

"If that mocking bird don't sing

Momma's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

"If that diamond ring turns to brass,

Momma's gonna buy you a looking glass."

Haley sang, holding her baby in her arms, remembering back a couple of years.

"If that looking glass gets broke,

Momma's gonna buy you a Billy goat.

"If that Billy goat won't pull,

Momma's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

"If that cart and bull turn over,

Momma's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

"If that doggy named Rover won't bark,

Momma's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

"If that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the prettiest baby in town."

Haley sang the song to her young children as they drifted off to sleep. Nathan stood in the doorway, he loved listening to her sing. She was like an angel, and he loved to catch every word of it. He loved how good she was with the kids, always getting them to go to sleep so quickly.

Haley looked down at the little girl in her arms, who, like the rest, fell asleep with the song. Or maybe it was the melodic tone of her voice.
