Brendon sat in a chair next to Sarah's hospital bed with Gemma in his arms. Every so often she would open her eyes and look up at Brendon, making him smile. 

"Hey, baby girl..." He said as she opened her eyes again. "God, you look so much like me... How? You should look like your mom because she's so beautiful! But I know you will be so beautiful. You will rock this world, Gem." Gemma closed her eyes again, softly touching Brendon's hand. 

"She will, won't she?" Sarah said as she rolled over on the bed. Brendon looked up at her and smiled. 

"Well, either she will rock or end up in an insane asylum because we're her parents." Gemma opened her eyes again and looked at Brendon. "Hey again! Welcome back to the open-eyed world!" She closed her eyes again.

"She does not like when you talk. You might be shit out of luck when in the studio." Brendon sighed, knowing if that's true, then he'll have to buy an actual recording studio. And, he would hate that. Brendon likes to work from home. 

"That would suck." He said honestly. 

"Her ears are probably still sensitive, just give it time!" Brendon looked back down at Gemma, smiling when she made a cute noise. "Maybe sing a lullaby or something!" Brendon smiled as one came into his head.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first begun.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see.

Amazing grace, oh amazing grace,
That saved a wretch like me.
Oh amazing grace, amazing grace."
