What's up, it's Hurrican! I was trying to come up with the next chapter for my fic, TLS, but it was just causing me stress so I asked my brother what I should do and he said to take a break. So I wrote this! Hope you like it!
Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me,
The words seemed to roll off her tongue. She had no memory of learning it at all, yet it seemed to know her quite well.
Scarlet looked down at the lovely baby in her arms. Just two days old, she and her brother had made quite the entrance into this world, but it had all been worth it. Sporting her red hair and Wolf's green eyes, Scarlet wouldn't have had her twins any other way.
Something tingled at the back of her mind as she began the second verse. She closed her eyes and let the memory play out.
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and as blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me.
Michelle held her granddaughter close, not wanting to let her go. She had traveled all the way over to Paris to see her, and it was all worth it.
She looked up at her son and his wife. "Does she have a name?"
Luc shook his head. "We couldn't think of one. We thought maybe you'd have a better one than one we could think of."
Michelle looked again at the baby. The blanket shifted slightly and she could see the handful of red hair on her head. Well, not red, more of...
"Scarlet." Michelle said fondly.
Luc came over and looked at his baby. As if on cue, she opened her large brown eyes and stared at all of them. A trace of a smile grazed his face. He nodded.
"Scarlet." he repeated.
Later that night, Michelle had volunteered to watch Scarlet while Luc and his wife went out for dinner, so they could have some quiet time.
The rocking chair in the corner of Scarlet's small room was where Michelle decided she's put her to sleep. Scarlet had slept through most of the day, but now she had her eyes open again, staring up at her grandmother.
"Bonjour, mon cherie," Michelle whispered. "You seemed to have slept well."
Scarlet blinked.
Michelle smiled. "Someday, mon amour, you are going to grow up and be a beautiful young woman. Someone is going to love you very much. Maybe someday you'll sing this lullaby, too."
Scarlet made a little happy sound, shifting so one of her tiny hands was out of the blanket so she could suck on her tiny fist.
"Logan would have loved you." she whispered sadly.
Michelle began rocking back and forth.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving you kiss
I'm longing to linger t'ill dawn, dear
Just saying this,
Sweet dreams t'ill sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you,
Scarlet stood from the same rocking chair, slowly walking over to the crib where the other twin lay.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
She laid her baby girl down beside her brother.
Dream a little dream of me.
Wolf stood in the doorway, watching her. Scarlet turned around and smiled at him.
Dream a little dream...of me
I did not write that song, it's "Dream a little dream of me" I think it was originally written by someone else, but the lyrics I used were by Doris Day. It is kind of jazzed up, but the lyrics are beautiful! Please review!
