A/N: THIS IS A SONG CHAPTER. THE SONG IN HERE IS NOT BY ME! IT'S BY TAYLOR SWIFT, ALL CREDITS GO TO HER!
My family was going on another hunting trip. This one was for three days and two nights. I was in charge of babysitting. Since sometimes I was at school for insane hours, Embry had agreed to help me. My parents had just left and it was time for the kids to go to bed. They had school tomorrow.
Everything was hectic. The twins were jumping on their bed and Brooke was TRYING to fall asleep. Embry was rocking her over in the corner of the room. He smiled at me and shrugged. I gave a small smile back and suddenly had an idea. I ran to my room, picked up my guitar and ran back. I laid the twins down in bed and sat between them.
I slowly picked up my guitar and played softly and soothingly this song.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
As I slowly finished, I looked on either sides of me to see the twins fast asleep. Brooke had began quietly snoring as soon as I got to the second verse. I took her out of my arms and laid her down in her crib. I looked over to see Embry leaning over her rail to see him kissing her head softly. He would make a great father. But, were not going to think about that tonight are we, Kat? Nope.
I switched on the baby monitor just so that we could ensure to hear everything. I turned on all four nightlights and turned off the lamp. I cracked the door to be sure that they could find their way out in the night.
I quietly walked down the hall to my room and up the short set of stairs. Through the French doors I walked silently. I flickered on my chandelier and walked into the bathroom to get my pajamas on, wash my face, and brush my hair.
I walked back out to see Embry flipping through my song notebook. I sighed and crawled into bed next to him. He stroked my hair softly as I sang the song once more.
I remember tears streaming down your face

The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes

You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
I slowly fell into a deep sleep aware that I had to get up at five in the morning tomorrow to make lunches, get dressed, check my homework, and make breakfast. My head lay on Embry's chest which was rising and falling slowly and soothingly.
