"Thank you momma!" I say happily eating (f/f) "No problem munchkin." momma said happily, "Thank you Mrs. (m/l/n- mom's last name)." Toby said eating the food as well "No problem Toby." my mom said smiling she was always kind, to everyone dad says it can get annoying due to the fact she is putting others before her, but I think she is only be kind and wanting the same treatment back.


After we ate we went into the basement it wasn't like one of those cold concrete type basements, it was a warm cozy basement it was like a second living room. It had a very fluffy blue carpet for flooring it felt like clouds! The walls were a cream color, with white trimming, there was bookshelves, two black leather couches, a wooden maple coffee table and a tv screen.

It was a pretty nice room, this was like the living room for the children, while the adults had the upstairs one. I got  the blankets down for Toby, since he would be on one couch and he didn't bring over blankets, he grabbed his pillow and went over to one of the black couches and laid down on it, and he almost went to sleep, I could tell he was having trouble staying up.

I put the brown blanket on him, he instantly wrapped himself in the blanket, I started to chuckle "what's so funny?" Toby asked me with confusion "You were acting like a butterfly." I responded a smile on my face as I calmed down my laughing, which he started to laugh making me laugh again.

"I'm gonna go get my pillow and blanket I'll be back." I state before going upstairs to my room, while I was at it I was going to get changed into my (f/c) pajamas, after I had done that I grabbed my pillow and blanket and ran back down the steps to the basement plopping them on the other black couch.

Toby was already in his pajamas 'Did I really take that long? ' I thought inside my head. "Children it's bedtime." my father called "Goodnight!" Toby and I called back up the stairs from the basement, with that the door shut with the lights off "Yeah right." Toby and I mumbled in unison, which made us laugh from our outburst of being in unison with one another, yeah we were with each other that much to talk in unison a lot !

Toby got out a flash light and flicked it on "Scary story time?" I asked giggling he nodded and we both sat up he began to tell the tale about 'The Grave' 

"A young woman lay suffering on her deathbed, her stillborn baby lying against her chest. Her young husband crouched close, stricken with grief. His beautiful wife crooned a lullaby to her dead baby, her voice growing fainter as death drew near. Finally, she looked at her husband and asked him to bury her back East, beside her dead mother. Choked with grief, the young husband agreed." Toby started I felt a little scared for what was going to come.


"But after his wife lay still in death, her husband could not bear to be parted from her and their dead child. He had them buried together beneath a lonely pine tree on a gently sloping knoll near their home, where he could visit the grave. As spring drew near, fragrant wildflowers bloomed across the knoll and the small grave." Toby continued that truly is sad to have your love ones die, just like that.



"One night, the husband threw himself across the flower-strewn grave, head buried in his arms as he tried to control his grief. As he lay there, the stillness of the night seemed to deepen. A light breeze tousled his hair and swayed the branches of the pine tree. At that moment, he heard a soft voice crooning a lullaby. He started upright, searching about for his wife. He heard a gurgle from an infant, a happy sound of contentment. Then the breeze died away, and the branches of the pine tree stilled. Then a shining light seemed to descend from the dark sky and hover over the young husband and the small grave under the tree. The husband heard the singing again, and the happy laugh of a small child. And then there was darkness. The husband went home that night with peace in his heart for the first time since the death of his wife." getting a little fidgety as the story progressed it was kind of terrifying to hear your dead loved ones, and the fact her heard noises he had yet to hear was just creepy and the way Toby was saying this only made the fear factor grow.



"People say that on dark, summery nights you can still hear the young mother singing a lullaby, and hear the happy chuckles of her tiny child. " Toby said finishing the story I was hugging the pillow, he walked over and gave me a hug "Sorry, just go to sleep." Toby said to me before turning the light off and went to bed "night." I say before trying to go to bed.
