Fondness that Angel Found

angel's want

"Hey, angel." Ace sits up from his bed as he sees Siena beside him, holding her puppy plushie. He looks at the alarm clock and wonders why his daughter is in his room at twelve midnight.

Letting out a whine, Siena climbs up beside her daddy. "Siena can't sleep, daddy."

Immediately worrying for the little one, Ace pulls the blanket to cover both him and Siena. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"What's a nightmare, daddy?"

"A nightmare is a bad dream, angel. Did you have a bad dream?" Sighing in relief when the younger shakes her head and looks at her daddy.

It was never something that Ace wanted to complain about when Siena suddenly appears in his room, calling out his name and telling him that she can't sleep. Though Ace continues to worry about it, it'll always calm him down when the little girl tells him that she simply can't sleep at all.

Most of the time, Siena would tell her daddy that she just needs cuddles as if cuddling would make her comfortable and enough for her to get her much needed rest. Ace on the other hand, knows that the four-year old knows what she wants best so simply giving her cuddles would be alright.

"Siena tried closing her eyes but Siena can't sleep." Ace hears the little one say. Deciding that maybe a hug from him would calm the little one, he develops her in an embrace and smiles when he felt Siena settle her head on her daddy's chest.

"Does Siena need daddy's warm cuddles?" A muffled giggle was then heard from Ace's chest, making Ace let out a smile. Happy to know that his angel is okay even though she didn't get to sleep more.

Gently taking her head out from Ace's hold, "Siena wants to hear daddy sing the magic song."

That was it. The magical song or simply the lullaby that Ace made up when one night Siena couldn't stop crying. Ace was desperate to calm Siena down that night and thinking that maybe a lullaby would do the trick. The only problem was that he didn't know what lullaby to sing.

One may think that What parent doesn't know a lullaby?

Oh well, for Ace's case, he got to form words up and sang it to his angel which surprisingly, made her calm down that night. After that night, Siena wanted to name the lullaby as the Magic Song. The magic song would be heard with Ace singing it every time the little one has trouble of sleeping.

"Siena will sleep if daddy sings the magic song." Ace isn't a singer himself, yet he could be a dancer, an artist, and maybe a tree just to let Siena smile.

"Make sure to sleep, okay?" Siena nods faintly, quite joyful to hear her daddy's singing voice.

Daddy's little angel,
Wipe your falling tears and smile.
Daddy's little angel,
You shouldn't cry anymore.

Your pretty little face,
That looks best when you're laughing.
Your pretty little face,
That looks best when you're giggling.

Stay in my arms, angel.
I promise to keep you safe.
Stay in my arms, angel.
I promise to kiss you good night.

Ace finishes singing and smiles at the sleeping little angel beside him who's arm is wrapped around his waist and who's head is using his arm as her pillow. Caressing Siena's face gently, it didn't take long before Ace went to sleep along with the little one.

When the light from the sun hits Ace's face, he opened his eyes and his gaze softened as he sees his daughter beside him, breathing steadily with her bed hair pointing everywhere.
