One night Jessica was doing hw when she heard the door knocking and her phone was ringing it was Fred.
"Hello?"
Fred said.
"Archie can't sleep. He definitely will be needing you."
The door knocked.
"Coming!"
She dropped the cell on the bed leaving all for Fred to hear. She wheeled her chair to the door and opened as it was Archie shaking and crying.
"Oh Archie come in."
He was so exhausted between schoolwork and helping dad and the thought of the fact he almost lost Jess truly got to him. They sat down and Archie admitted.
"I can't sleep I keep thinking about how you had the heart attack."
Jessica's heart sank.
"I'm ok Archie. I know school and helping dad is exhausting and I can see it. I didn't think my heart attack pushed you to this level of exhaustion."
He sighed.
"You are my sister and I can't imagine my life without you."
She turned off the lights and sat down on her bed.
"Hop in."
Archie laid down just stressed but Jess sang to him knowing a song from one of the Dixie Chicks album her mom would sing to her but switched the lyrics to girl for her but it fit Archie perfectly. She prayed that she remembered how the song went and hoping that her mom was guiding her.
"Hope I can nail this, momma."
She said out loud enough for Fred to hear.
Then she sang.
"Dragon tales and the Water is Wide
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet Dreams little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon we'll find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet Dreams little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)
God bless Mommy and matchbox cars
God bless Dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "amen" wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed little man
Sweet Dreams little man
Oh, my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed Godspeed
Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"
As she sang, Fred and Mary teared up as Jess sang that they felt as if Emily was right in front of them rocking Jess to sleep.
It was silent. Jess looked over and see Archie was tucked out fast asleep.
She picked up the cell unaware that he had heard everything.
"Oh I'm sorry Daddy. I got Archie resting."
Fred asked.
"That was your mom's lullaby wasn't it?"
Jessica smile.
"Yes. Did I sang it well?"
Fred said.
"Perfectly like your mom did."
Jessica was relieved.
"Oh thank you, Jesus that was the only song that sticks out to me."
Fred said.
"Get some rest."
Jessica said while Yawning.
"Night Daddy."
Fred said.
"Sweet dreams."
They hung up and then jughead texted her.
P: Baby where's Archie?
Q: he is with me, love
P: ok I was concerned but glad you are helping him
Q: I love you ❤️😘💕 Sweet Dreams 😴
P: Sweet Dreams 😴😘💕♥️
After messaging Jughead, Jess sleepily struggle to crawl back in the bed as she is trying so hard not disturb her loving brother but Archie sleepily noticed and helped her to get in the bed and gently pulled the covers as Jess tucked herself out. Archie pulls her close and kisses her forehead.
"Night sis."
She mumbled.
"Night Archie."
The next morning Archie woke up and sees his sister asleep and the alarm went off and he hit the button as Jess woke up.
"Morning sissy."
Jessica said.
"Do you feel better?"
Archie said.
"Best sleep I had in awhile."
Jess said.
"Dad and mom heard everything last night I forgot that he called. The lullaby was my mom lullaby to me with the help of the Dixie Chicks and she did change the lyrics because I sang the original lyrics and dad as well as Momma got choked up as I sang and Dad had said I did it perfectly."
