Tommy woke up late, A first in a long time. It was peaceful, He'd ended up walking downstairs where he saw the women Zoey, seemingly having problems calming a baby boy. "Do......Do you need help?". Zoey looked up Startled and confused before realization comes over her face, "You know how calm down a baby?" "I do, I helped to raise by nephew, I was even there helping his mother deliver him." what tommy didn't mention was the long thirteen months after in which Fundy first called him dad. Not Wilbur, Not techno, not philza, but an eight-year-old tommy. There were still times even know when Fundy would Accidentally call him dad.
He carefully and easily takes the baby- Levin, Zoey told him- in his arms and held him just like he did Fundy 8 years ago. He seemed rather fussy. "Hey there buddy? Can you come down for me and miss Zoey please?". He calmed down barley, but then it hit tommy. Only him, Fundy and Sally knew this song, it wouldn't hurt to pass it onto levin and Zoey. So, in the softest voice for years ago he sang. "Little child. Be not afraid. Through rain pounds harshly against the glass. Like an unwanted stranger". Levin had calmed down and focused on tommy and Even Zoey had her attention on him. "There is no danger. I am here tonight." Zoey seemed to be swaying to the tune. "Little child Be not Afraid. Through thunder explodes and Lightning Flash. Illuminates your tear-Stained face. I am here tonight". He couldn't help the rocking in his arm, it felt like second nature. "And someday You'll know. That nature is so. The same rain that draws you near me, Falls on rivers and land, On forest and sand. Makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning." Levin seemed to be enjoying and swaying to the song just like Zoey. "Little Child Be Not Afraid. Through storm clouds mask your beloved moon and its candlelight beams, Still keep pleasant Dreams. I am here tonight."
He heard the door and Ignored it. It was likely aphmau. "Little Child Through the wind makes creatures of our tree and their branches to hands. They're not real, understand And I am here tonight." He couldn't stop the small smile on his face, He knew he was better with kids then wilbur or philza. "And someday you'll know. That nature is so. The same rain the draws you near me. Falls on rivers and land, On forests and sand. Makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning." He heard someone humming along with him, slightly off key, but that was okay. "For you know, once even I was a little child, and I was afraid. But A gentle someone always came" He couldn't stop his thoughts from going to Jordan, if only Jordan had found him before philza...He would have liked that. "To dry all my tears. Trade sweet sleep for fears and to give a kiss goodnight. "He felt levin snuggle into his chest.
"That was some real nice singing, Tommy". He couldn't stop the blush on his face. "Thanks. I used to sing it for my nephew whenever he had trouble sleep". He could feel the surprise from both of the two. "You have a nephew; I didn't know you had siblings". He could feel the hidden question, Where they half-shadow knight? "Well. Not by birth but rather adoption. Wilbur barley was in his kid's life until the kid hit age 6, In which his fox gene's toke over and well.... He aged up real fast. Every two months that went through he'd aged up by a year. I was the supporting him through this and his father only knew this due to his mother telling him. Trust me, He was heartbroken and confused as to why I was his father. He was calling me dad ever sense I was eight. So.....It kind of hurt"
His focus shifted back to levin, so he did see the looks Aphmau and Zoey shared. Zoey then turned her attention to tommy again. "Did....Did your father know about this?". Tommy frowned at this "My birth father died shortly after my mother. I was around six three months from seven. I was adopted by phil....But it was more of him being a neglective caretaker than my so-call father. I guess the closest thing would be my best friend's Adoptive father, Jordan. He didn't really like that".
The conversation pretty much ended there. With the rest of the day, Aphmau had to go to bright port on Garroth's request. And he and Zoey ended up staying and babysitting Levin. Zoey also told her about her own son, her husband and the fact that they later got divorced. It was nice, Peaceful. Tommy even made them some tea and they ended up drinking it. It was nice.
