Kelsey by Metro Station
"So take one word you said, you put it in your bed. You rest your tiny head, on your pillow."
The sound of crying flooded through the monitor on the bedside table.
Kurt made a soft whining noise beside me, and I sighed.
I stroked his cheek, yawning.
"It's ok babe. You get some more sleep. I've got it."
"Uh huh" He murmured softly, burrowing into the warm blankets.
I slid out of bed, pulling on a pair of sweatpants.
Yawning, I stumbled down the hall and into the nursery.
Kelsey lay in her cot, crying.
"Shh, it's ok baby girl." I cooed, scooping her out.
Her sobs quieted as I rocked her in my arms.
When she was silent again, and fast asleep; I placed her back in the cot.
Leaning against the railing, I smiled down at the sleeping child.
Reaching in, I brushed the loose strands of chestnut brown hair away from her face.
I couldn't help but wish she'd stay this innocent.
Long, thin arms wrapped around me.
I glanced over my shoulder, and smiled down at Kurt.
He let go of me and glanced down into the cot.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?"
"Yeah"
"Noah, you've turned into a big, old softie." Kurt giggled, leaning against me.
"Yeah, I guess I have. She's got me wrapped around her tiny fingers."
"That's true." Kurt sighed happily
We looked down at Kelsey.
She was going to be brilliant one day.
She'd do big things, and be a star at everything she did.
Yep.
Kelsey Hummel-Puckerman was going to take over the world.
That's my girl.
