omniscient.

jahseh unlocked the door to the large house, letting xiorra run in and disappear somewhere within the big house within seconds, to which he only proceeded in entering the home, while aracely followed behind him, sighing as she watched the five year old run energetically.

"she was just asleep, how is she already hyper?" she whined, to which jahseh only smirked at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"i wonder who she gets it from." he said, shutting the front door, and aracely gently slapped his arm and rolled her eyes at his words, and he burst out in laughter.

"uncle skiiiii!" the two heard xiorra eagerly cheer, and within seconds, stokeley held xiorra, sitting on his shoulders, and walked into the living room, where he dapped up hands with jahseh and ruffled aracely's head, while xiorra clung onto his head.

aracely smiled at the sight of the two happily together, before walking away from the three and into the kitchen, holding the grocery bags just obtained from their adventurous trip to the market, in which xiorra could not contain herself, nor could jahseh, and aracely, as usual, had to play mommy to the both, rather than just xiorra as it should be.

upon entering the kitchen, she saw cleo, to which she smiled and placed a kiss on the cheek of before speaking. "hey mama, how are you?" she asked, opening the fridge and beginning to put away the groceries.

jahseh, from the other side of the home, gently slapped the back of xiorra's head, before pulling her down from stokeley's head, which made her whine, being that she enjoyed being up so high. "it's time for you to go to bed, elena."

she huffed, though it may have been more so at jahseh's use of her middle name rather than her forename, but nevertheless wrapped her arms and legs around jahseh as he held her, and let him carry her up the stairs and into her room, before laying her down on the bed and sitting beside her, ruffling her long, curly hair, to which she whined and slapped his hand.

"deja de tocarme!" (stop touching me!) she snapped, scrunching up her face and crossing her arms, to which jahseh snorted and resumed ruffling her hair again.

"you're just like mommy." he sighed, and she rolled her eyes at him before getting under the covers and curling up in the bed.

"yeah yeah yeah, daddy can you sing to me?" she asked, looking up at him with her little blue orbs of eyes, and he sat against the headboard of the bed, beside her, before speaking.

"sing what?" he asked, glancing at her while she looked up at him hopefully, and she was silent in thought for a moment before she spoke.

"mommy's favorite song!" she replied cheerfully, and he let out a little chuckle before nodding his head, now once again adjusting himself in the bed to lay beside her, to which xiorra laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around him, shutting her eyes already.

he smiled at the sight of her, before he let out a little sigh and began to sing, wrapping his arms around her gently and caressing her smoothly as he sang.

"before i lay me down to sleep.."

the end.
