Chapter 7.

At home in Karen's penthouse, Will carried her into the bedroom and laid her down on her bed. She hadn't stopped crying.

He laid down beside her and she cuddled up to him.

"See Karen. Nothing bad happened" he said gently while he was softly stroking her hair and planting gentle kisses on top of her head.

She was still crying but started to calm down once she got into her own bed. Will started to hum a lullaby to help her calm down and go to sleep. It had been an exhausting day so far. It wasn't even night yet, but she needed to sleep a little.

The only lullaby that came to his mind right now was this one:

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

'That Billy Joel sure does know how to write songs' he thought when he had hummed the song to end.

He felt that she had relaxed now and was breathing regular and deep. He took the opportunity to sneak just outside the door and call home.

"Hi Gracie" he said when he heard her answer.

"Hi Will" she said with shiver in her voice.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, but my God Will. How could you keep this from me?"
"I thought that Karen was the one that had to tell you and she wasn't ready until now" Will explained.

"How is she?" Grace asked.

"She's been crying ever since we left you, but now she's sleeping."

"Don't leave her alone Will" Grace said.

"Don't worry, I won't. I have made her that promise" he answered and hung up.

A/N I recently purchased an album called "Unexpected Dreams - Songs from the stars". I got hooked on 2 songs from this album, one is this one written by Billy Joel and on the album is sung by John Stamos. This song is called Lullabye (Goodnight, my angel). The other song is sung by Eric McCormack and is written by Elton John and entitled "The Greatest Discovery". I might use that song too.

Reviews people. They feed my muse.
