Elena did not realize how hard it was to take care of two young boys.

Especially in an era where most of the house chores took longer and vegetable gardens wanted to play peek a boo for a couple months.

(And yes it's been literal months since her little escapade)

But she made a stable life for herself and her boys.

Yes.

Those two gremlins were hers now.

She's cut anyone who'd say otherwise. (And add some lemon and salt to their wounds just to get her words to sink in.)

The kids also made good lookouts when they had to play Elena Keep Away game. When they'd dodge the mayors advances or pop ups when they go into the market.

That creep gives her the creeps.

(Shivers)

She couldn't help but think about the future with Ciel and Vincent when she tucked the boys into bed.

"Sissy?" Luka's head popped out of his covers.

Elena jolted in surprise. "Why aren't you sleeping Lu? Not tired?"

"Mmm." He nodded.

She looked to his bedmate seeing Jim awake as well.

"You guys.....it's late. Time to close your eyes."

Luka pouted.

"Would you sing. Please?" Jim asks.

They both look at her expectantly.

Elena sighed in defeat. Those eyes. She swears are to powerful sometimes.

"Alright."

She climbed into the middle.

"Cuddle close. Scooch in."

When she had both kids tucked under her chin and wrapped in her arms she began.

"Deep in the meadow, under the willow.

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow.

Lay down your head, and close your eyes.

And when they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, and here it's warm.

Here the daisies guard you from every harm.

Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true.

Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away.

A cloak of green, a moon beam ray.

Forget your woes, and let your troubles lay.
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe, and here it's warm.

Here the daisies guard you from every harm.

Hre your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true.

Here is the place where I love you."

Hearing soft snores she looked down.

Both boys completely out for the count.

Discreetly she tried to move before she felt faint but strong fingers grasping her nightgown.

Luka and Jim both had a separate hand grasping her sleeves on either side of her.

'They are definitely related.' She laughed to her self.

"Guess I'm stuck here." Elena yawned before blowing out the bedside candle and cuddling them close.

"G'night....." she yawns into their heads and sleeps.

Not noticing a set of piercing blue eyes flash in the bedroom window.
