Jesse's POV:
I woke up to the sound of whimpering. I looked at the clock on the end table, 1:30. I couldn't figure out the source of the sound until I felt movement beside me. Dally was squirming in his sleep, his face contorting in fear. I gently started shaking him.
"Wake up, buddy" I whispered. His eyes shot open, looking in those tear filled doe eyes was enough to make anyone distressed. He soon realized what was happening and clung to me.
"It was just a bad dream," I started. "I'm here"
He was sobbing and shaking. What do I do? Wait...Mary would sing to him.
I sat there quietly, cradling him, trying to remember the words to the song. Bingo.
I started to sing in a hushed voice.
"Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight"
I could still feel Dally shaking and sobbing.
"I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry"
His cries started turning into hiccups and small gasping breaths. He was calming down.
"For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry"
His grip on my chest softened. He's starting to fall asleep.
"'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always"
His breathing is normal now, he's asleep.
With a sigh, I rest my back on the headboard. I started to relax again waiting for sleep to take me away, it wasn't too long before I started fading into a dream land of my own.
