a dream is a wish your heart makes

"A dream is a wish your heart makes ..."

Morpheus slowed down at the sound of the soft tunes.

"When you're fast asleep..."

He was on his way to Lucienne. Something important came up that needed the attention of the Dream Lord but when he recognized your voice, coming from the nursery, he stopped. And then turned. Because what could possibly be more important than this?

"In dreams you will lose your heartaches ..."

You stood with the back to him, barfeet, swaying softly as you sung to your daughter. His daughter.

"Whatever you wish for, you keep..."

His heart swelled at the babbling coming from the little girl in your arms. It was a scene he'd wished to remember forever.

"Have faith in your dreams and someday ..."

Morpheus had waited millenia for this  moment. For you. For her. He had thought relationships weren't meant for him, they would always go up in flames. You taught him the opposite.

"Your rainbow will come smiling through..."

You turned and the most beautiful smile appeared on your face when you met his eyes. Still singing, you walked over to him.

"No matter how your heart is grieving..."

You placed her in his arms and his heart ached the way it always did when he looked at her. No creation of his would ever compare to the girl who wrapped her little hand around Morpheus fingers in this very moment.

"If you keep on believing ..."

Her eyes fluttered and he smiled. He had that effect on her. You bowed down, placing a kiss in between lines on her forehead before resting your own head on his shoulder.

"The dream that you wish will come true."

And with that, she fell asleep.

"She's perfect, isn't she?" You whispered.

Morpheus nodded. "She has to be. After all, she takes after you."
