I walk into the nursery, my babies are crying. I pick up Roxie first and start give her a bottle. She's her father's daughter because she drinks it quickly. I set her in Hunter's crib and feed him. I put him back in his crib with his sister, they're both wide awake now. There's only one way to get them back to sleep, my mama's lullaby.
"Ninna nanna, ninna oh
Questo bimbo a chi lo dò ?
Se lo dò alla Befana,
Se lo tiene una settimana.
Se lo dò all'uomo nero,
Se lo tiene un anno intero.
Ninna nanna, ninna oh,
Questo bimbo me lo terrò!
Lullaby, lullaby, ooh,
Who will I give this baby to?
If I give him to the old hag,
For a week she will keep him, ahh.
If I give him to the bogeyman,
For a whole year he'll keep him,
Lullaby, lullaby, eeee
I will keep this baby for me!" I sing it through and Hunter falls asleep. Roxie still lays awake. "Baby girl, can't you rest?" I wonder quietly.
I pick her up and start to sing the song over and over again. Bouncing her lightly and she just looks at me with her green eyes. If she could talk, she'd be asking me what the hell I'm doing. Roxie is gonna be sassy when she gets older, she's mine she'd have to be.
"Ninna nanna, ninna oh-Oh!" Arms wrap around me from behind.
Rikki kisses are baby girl on the head then kisses my neck.
"Sounds beautiful, baby." He says quietly.
Rikki takes Roxie from me and kisses her nose.
"My little angel." He says. "I'm sure she loves your lullaby but Rox knows you need rest. I'll do lullaby tonight."
Rikki sings her Fallen Angel and Roxie falls asleep as I sit in the arm chair. Rikki puts her in her crib and walks over to me. He leans down and kisses my lips.
"I'm getting better at this whole dad thing." He smiles.
"Yeah you are, baby." I smile and he pulls me up.
"You need rest, the little one told me." Rikki says as he pulls me back towards our room.
We lay down and Rikki's arms wrap around me.
"I love you." He says and I smile.
"I love you more." I say and he laughs.
"I love you most." Rikki says quietly and kisses my scar on my neck.
