Erza suddenly awoke; the sky was still painted its dark sapphire. The hour was late, why had she awoken?
Erza rubbed her eyes and sat up, she pulled the baby monitor towards her, she carefully listen to it, there was no cries coming from the twins room. But she could have sworn she had heard Ayoko, maybe she dreamed it, but this waking up from hearing her baby crying had happened all too often.
Erza breathed out and spoke in whispers to herself.
"It's just because you're new to all this, there is no need to worry, there both alight"
Jellal began to stir from his sleep, she did not want to wake him again from her worrying so she slid her feet into her fur slippers at quietly tiptoed out of the room.
Erza crept down the hall towards the nursery; she paused at the twin's door to listen.
Ayoko was awake, she could hear her giggling. Erza breathed a light sigh. She thought she was going crazy with having the same dream of her baby crying, but Ayoko had called out for her and she had heard even through her dreams.
Erza listened some more before deciding to leave her to fall back to sleep on her own. But before she turned back around to her bedroom she suddenly heard another voice in the room!
A woman's voice, Erza pushed her ear closer to the door. The woman was humming a lullaby to her baby!
Erza felt rage at the thought of another women trying to take her place, she swung the door open.
"Move away from my baby!" she screamed into the room.
But nobody was there….
Erza rushed into the room, searching high and low, through cupboards and wardrobes but still no one.
"I could have sworn I heard a voice" Erza muttered under her breathe.
Ayoko lay awake; her deep brown eyes watched her mother as she paced around the room. She let out a little giggle before wiggling around in her sheets.
Erza rushed straight to her side, lifting her into her arms.
Ayoko wasn't distressed nor was she upset, but Erza knew what she heard, there had been someone else in this room with her babies, maybe she should wake Jellal? Just so he could search the whole house, but he hadn't had much sleep over the last couple of days with Kiyoshi sleeping in their bed.
"We'll let daddy sleep" she spoke out aloud.
She grabbed her daughter's fur blanket and wrapped it around her before heading down the stairs.
She checked the cupboard at the bottom of the stairs before insuring all the doors in the home were locked. She checked the windows hadn't been damaged, everywhere was secure and safe.
Erza poured herself a hot mug of tea before making Ayoko a lovely warm bottle of milk.
Erza then carried her little girl back up to bed, Ayoko had drag most of her milk by the time they had reached the top. Ayoko gave out a little yawn; Erza hugged her tiny body a little closer before placing her back into her crib.
Erza slowly wound her lullaby player before resting herself in the rocking chair She then slowly rested her eyes as she listened to the heartbeats of her babies. She would sleep with them throughout the night; no one would take her place. She was their mummy, their protector, their teacher, their….
Erza drifted in to her dreams with thoughts of being the best she could ever be for her children.
The lullaby on the crib faded out, Ayoko suddenly awoke from the silence that had taken the room.
"Shhhh" A woman's voice soothed.
Ayoko looked up to see a beautiful woman leaning over her crib, the baby smiled at the familiar face.
The young woman wound the lullaby once more before wrapping Ayoko back in to her sheets. The baby reached out her little arms, the woman leaned down and pressed her palms onto the soft cheeks of the child, she rubbed her hands over the baby's whole face before reaching over a little more to place a small kiss on her for heard.
Ayoko let out a little yawn, as the lady she knew, that she had always known hummed in zinc with the lullaby.
She watched over the child as she dreamed, she would be there whenever she needed her, there would never be a cry too small or a laugh to loud for her to be called to her side….
