"Kay kids. Time for bed." "But Daddy, we don't wanna go to sleep." "You have to." "Fine." Charlie and Bianca trudge up the stairs. Luke sits on the floor unmoving. "Luke." "No." "I'm gonna get Mommy." "Good luck with that she's working." "Fine. Stay that way." I leave the room and turn off the lights. "Ahh. No Daddy. I'll get ready for bed." Luke's scared of the dark so I use that in worst case scenarios. He clings to my leg. "Okay. Let's go take a bath." He nods. After his bath, (Y/N) and I go to the kids rooms to tuck them in. We start with Luke and Charlie's room. "Daddy, we don't want a story. We want you to sing the lullaby." "Okay." 

Close your eyes, I know what you see
The darkness is high, and you're in ten feet deep
But we've survived more terrible monsters than sleep
And you know I will be here to tell you to breathe

Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione per cui vivo (the reason I live)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)

Stumbling lost, the last choice of all that you meet
It's the cost of ruling those 'neath your feet
Paths you've crossed, and trust you're trying to keep
You're exhausted, listening for a voice that can't speak

(Ma nico, mio caro)

Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione ho vissuto (the reason I lived)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)

So you run, through shadows you roam
Seams undone by the love you thought you could own
But he's just one of many that you might call home
And maybe someday, the bitter will fade from your bones

Eri il mio soldatino (you were my little soldier)
Ora un principe oscuro (now, a dark prince)
Ma anche per te, c'è una luce
(But even for you, there is a light)
Che ad un'altra vita ti conduce (that leads you to another life)

When I finish the song, the twins are sleeping and (y/n) and I give them kisses in their foreheads. We then go tuck Bianca in. She asks for the same song and I sing it for her. She falls asleep and we give her kisses on her cheek. (Y/n) and I high five and then go to our room to get ready for bed.
