Beth reached into her pockets, and when she didn't find what her mother asked, she started to panic. It was rather adorable for her toddler cheeks to puff up red with fear, her eyes glimmering. Jaydon, who had taken her paw pass earlier so she wouldn't loose it, chuckled and handed it her to. She saw it, grinned sheepishly, and took it.
The police nodded to Blake, and turned to Alice's parents, who looked like an angry deer caught in the headlights.
While back with Jane, Alice and Gabe, the two children had played themselves out and were now resting. Gabe was slowly drifting off to sleep, with Jane quietly humming to get him to do so. Alice looked at her. "What're you doing?
"I'm humming to him. It helps people sleep. It occurred to Jane that Alice probably didn't have anyone singing to her when she was young. Frowning, she balanced Gabe on one hand and held out her arm to Alice. "Here, lay down on my lap."
Alice did so. Jane ran her fingers though her messy red hair like her mother would always do. Alice seemed to like this. Smiling, Jane started to sing her favorite lullaby.
((WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT SONG))
"Alone she sleeps
In the shirt of man
With my three wishes
Clutched in her hand
The first that she
Be spared the pain
That comes from a
Dark and laughing rain
When she finds love
May it always stay true
This I beg for
The second wish I made, too
But wish no more
My life, you can take
To have her, please
Just one day wake .
To have her, please
Just one day wake .
To have her, please
Just one day wake .
