-Frank-

I couldn't believe it. I am a dad. Right now my son is alive and well. He looks just like his mother. I couldn't imagine a worl where I wasn't allowed to see him. He was happy and healthy. And all three were finally home, two weeks later. Now it's time for the three girls to be born. It's not long now that my daddy's girl will be in the world. And what's even better is that my band it getting more and more gigs. Yeah they're further away but they pay more every time. Our band is finally getting known. I'll be able to support a son and daughter. And managing school isn't that hard. I carried the car seat into the nursery and set it down happily. Mikey trailing behind me with the twins. Wren was still in pain so she was taking it slow. Oliver and Eugine were wide awake as they entered the Whinneh the Phooh themed room. I smiled and placed the small infant into his bed. His mom trailing behind. It was nice and quiet in here while it was rather loud downstairs where everyone was sitting around watching TV. I smiled down at Kayden and remembered the song I wrote him, it's not every good. Definatly not my style. But thinking about taking on parenthood inspired me so much that I had to write this song. I leaned over the bed and kissed his little head softly. I've already sang this song to him so he already knows it's his. 

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep

(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

Awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Watching his sleeping face made my day brighter. But there was something wrong, I could feel it.  And that's when it happened
