(Same day)
After our little...concert with Gabby and Alex, we all headed outside. I sat with everyone watching as Alex laughed chasing around Hope. I don't think I have seen her this happy sense she had gotten here. But I am glad I got to witness it.
"It is good to see her laugh," Carter says catching my attention. But instead of looking away, I keep my eyes on the scene in front of me.
"Yeah," I say agreeing with him
"What do you guys mean?" Ben asks
"Not our story to tell. But let's just say she deserves the whole fucking world and we are planning on giving her just that," I tell him.
"You guys love her don't you?" He asks. Ben knows about us being in a poly relationship and he doesn't judge. So when he asked I couldn't help but look around at everyone and seeing their faces I knew we all loved her.
"Yes," Carter says answering for all of us.
"Whatever you guys do don't break that girl's heart. I see the way she looks at all of you and I see the way you all look at her but I also see a woman who has been through more shit than deserved," Talia says. She has always been observant of everything and everyone around her.
"Don't plan on it," I tell her. We all look back at Alex who is now cradling Hope in her arms as she lays her back up against the tree. I don't hear what Hope says but the next thing I knew Alex was singing her a lullaby. We all watch the scene with adoration.
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan. That's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely"
And ever since that day
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy", they say to me
"Away from all of reality"
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
She pretends to sprinkle pixie dust on Hope making her giggle. I smile lovingly at her.
He sprinkled me in pixie dust
And told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town
That never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy", they say to me
"Away from all of reality"
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook
You are my perfect storybook
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook
You are my perfect storybook
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
And for always I will say
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy", they say to me
"Away from all of reality"
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
