"Hush now my baby, be still love don't cry.. Sleep as your rocked by the stream~.."
"Sleep and remember, my last lullaby...so I will be here when you dream~"
{Name} jolted awake. She huffed in a startled manner and looked at her hands in the dark alignment of her room. She took heavy breaths, trying to recall what she had just heard.
"What..what was that lullaby? Was that..Rangiku? But, she never sang me lullabies before....So how-"
Her room suddenly echoed a knock coming from her door. She shook her head to fully wake her senses up and got out of bed. The cold floor making her feet shiver, It made her curse on not having indoor slippers.
She opened her door gently and looked around, no one was in sight.
"Um {Name}?"
A gentle voice came down below. Her gaze depressed and saw little Jemima in her sleeping gown.
"Jemima? What are you doing here at this time?"
"You promised me you'll wake up Darius, but he's still in the pumpkin patch!"
{Name} cursed under her breath at her forgotten promise. She sighed in embarrassment and carried the little girl in her arms.
"Oops, sorry I've been tired you see."
"But you were just sleeping awhile ago!"
"Well one person can never get enough sleep. Do you wanna wake him up with me?"
"Sure! But can you please not carry me like this?"
"Why not?"
"I feel like a little girl!"
{Name} chuckled and put Jemima down, but booped her nose after.
"You are a little girl in my eyes you know."
"Am not! I'm already 7!"
"That's still a little girl to me."
Jemima puffed her cheeks, pouting at {Name}'s teasing. The older girl laughed and offered her hand.
"Cmon, Darius will probably get sick."
Jemima took her hand and together they journeyed towards the pumpkin patch.
Once reaching the door towards the garden, {Name} was about to open the door until Jemima spoke up.
"Hey {Name}? Do you like Darius?"
{Name} halted her actions and eyed Jemima.
"What do you mean?"
"Like him as If you think he is family!"
{Name} gulped at the thought.
'Darius...and family...I never thought of it that way before..'
An image of Darius plopped into her mind. The memories she had with him, she only recalled caring for him because he was her servant and her servant alone. Never once had she actually thought of him anything more than that.
