"Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little baby." Tony weakly sang.
His voice and song had no affect on James as the baby continued to fight sleep with fitful whimpers.
"He's just like me. He fights it." Tony exclaimed.
"Imagine when he's older." Bruce remarked as the child's parents walked into the room.
"No luck?" Steve guessed with a smirk.
"None." Clint answered looking defeated.
"Leave this to me." Natasha said taking her son and sat in the rocking chair.
"Leave it to the expert." Tony said with a tired yawn. "Should have done that from the start."
The room was quickly silenced when Natasha began to sing.
"Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
May the moons silvery beams
Bring you sweet dreams
Close your eyes now and rest
May these hours be blessed
Til the sky's bright with dawn
When you'll wake with a yawn
Lullaby and good night
You are mother's delight
I'll protect you from harm
And you'll wake in my arms.
Sleeyhead, close your eyes
For I'm right beside you
Guardian angels are near
So sleep without fear."
Steve smiled as Natasha continued to rock their son and sing the lullaby. He smiled more when he saw Tony, Clint, Bruce and Thor had fallen asleep as well.
Bruce was slouched in the chair while the other three were reclining against the wall leaning against each other.
Natasha hummed the lullaby as she gently placed her son in his rocking crib, tucked him in and gently rocked the crib back and forth. Steve slowly made his way over to her as she finished the song and ceased rocking the crib.
"Nicely done." he said with a smile. "You put all of the kids to sleep."
"Call it a gift." Natasha said with a smirk.
