Chelsea's pov

Harry got called into the studio 3 hours ago and he said he was going to bring dinner for the two of us when he was done, so I had fed Darcy because she's a picky eater and she had school in the morning and gave her a bath before tucking her into bed where she had been sleeping for an hour and a half. I had just fed Jr and I was trying to get him to fall back asleep before he would need a diaper change later on. Nothing I was doing seemed to be working. The only method I hadn't tried yet was singing a lullaby. I tried singing all the lullabies that my parents had sung to me when I was little, but nothing. I sighed almost in defeat, but then I remembered one more song. One that wasn't sung to me before, but it was in a movie I loved watching when I was little. That movie was 'Dumbo'. You know, the one about the baby elephant with huge ears. I took a deep breath and started singing,

Baby mine
Don't you cry
Baby mine
Dry your eyes

As soon as I sang the first verse, his crying slowed to a whimper. I smiled and continued,

Rest your head
Close to my heart
Never to part
Baby of mine

His soft whimper stopped and he was staring at me as I sang the slow lullaby.

Little one
When you play
Don't you mind
What they say

I walked over to the rocking chair and sat down slowly. I started rocking and continued singing,

Let those eyes
Sparkle and shine
Never a tear
Baby of mine

I saw his eyes starting to slowly close into a restful sleep. I couldn't stop now. I had to keep going until he was fast asleep.

After making a quick McDonald's run for mine and Chelsea's dinner, I arrived home to a dark house and I guessed Darcy was asleep and Chelsea was probably attempting to put Jr to sleep. I set the food on the table and put my keys on the hook. Only then did I faintly hear singing. I stopped in my tracks as I listened. It was a lullaby, and I knew it well. I just couldn't place where I had heard it from. Then, a light bulb went off in my head. I heard it in the movie 'Dumbo'! I figured it was Chelsea singing it to help Jr fall asleep. I slowly crept up the stairs towards the nursery. I stopped outside the doorway so I could listen to my wife sing our son to sleep.

If they knew
Sweet little you
They'd end up
Loving you too

Chelsea's pov

All those same
People who scold you
What they'd give
Just for the right to hold you

Jr had fallen asleep, but I wanted to finish the lullaby so I could ensure he was asleep.

From your head
Down to your toes
You're not much
Goodness, no

But you're so
Precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine

All of those people
Who scold you
What they'd give
Just for the right to hold you

From your head
Down to your toes
You're not much
Goodness, no

But you're so
Precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine

Baby of mine

I sighed as I finished the lullaby. I watched Jr to make sure he didn't wake back up. I started to slowly stand up as I quickly looked up outside the door to see a shadow leaning against the door frame. I smiled as I recognized the shadow as Harry.
"How long were you standing there?" I whispered.
"Long enough to know that you have an amazing voice that can lull our handsome son to sleep in mere minutes." he whispered as he came into the room. I smiled as I set Jr in the crib and Harry set his hands on my shoulders and rubbed them lightly. He kissed my shoulder as he mumbled hushedly,
"You're an amazing mother, you know that?"
I smiled as I turned towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Just like you're an amazing dad."
We kissed and he started to lead me back to the kitchen. We took one last look at our son before we walked out of the room.
"I'll go check on Darcy. Dinner's on the table." Harry whispered as he turned into Darcy's room and I waited on the stairs for him.

Harry's pov

I walked into my daughter's room where she was sleeping soundly. I slowly leaned down and kissed her head lightly.
"Sweet dreams, sweetheart." I whispered. As I stood back up, she stirred a bit, but didn't wake. I smiled as I walked out and spotted Chelsea on the stairs.
"I was waiting for you." she said simply with a smile.
I smiled as I put my hand on the small of her back and helped her down the stairs.

Sorry this chappy is so short. This was basically a filler. I'm warning you now, the next chappy will be a big time skip ahead.
