Puppeteer walked out of the room, slowly closing the door as to not make any sudden loud sound.
He snuck back into the living room, and saw his beautiful wife, Zero, still sitting on the couch, shaking as if she was rocking something.

He walked closer and dropped his arms down her shoulders, linking his hands and resting his head on top of her head. "She's still awake?" Zero nodded, looking down at her daughter, Anna.
She had ghostly white skin, with charcoal black hair and dark circles around her eyes. Her mouth and eyes emitted a golden glow, just like her father.
The father and daughter locked eyes, forcing a fit of laughter out of the infant. Puppeteer could only chuckle with Anna, while Zero wiggled her finger in front of her.

"What about Mac? Is he asleep?" "Out like a light. Now we just needs his sister to sleep too."
"It's tougher than it seems, you know."
Puppeteer let go of his lover and walked in front of her, crouching down so that he was right in front of his daughter.
"Let me try something."
He rubbed his little girl's soft head. "Daddy's going to sing you little lullaby, okay?" Anna let out a little gurgle, then put all her attention to her father.

Puppeteer began to hum a tune, and then started singing.

Anna's eyelids were slowly starting to become heavy. The little infant tried to fight off the sleep that was taking her over, but failed. Her eyes went shut, and, like her father stated earlier, was out like a light.
Puppeteer placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Time for bed, sweetheart."

The two parents took their child to her room and gently put her to bed. They snuck out the room and went back to their own.
"About time, they went to sleep", said Puppeteer. "And I thought killing people stealthily was a challenge", joked Zero.
The married couple shared a quick giggle and climbed into bed. "If they cry in the morning..." "Then I will take care of them. Way ahead of you, Zero." Zero smiled and placed a kiss on Puppeteer's lips. "You're such a good husband. And good father." "And you're a good wife and mother."

The two killers snuggled together and fell asleep, basking in each other's warmth.
