Light in the hallway
Kirstie POV
I roll over in bed expecting to snuggle into my husbands chest, but instead I feel nothing. I open my eyes and see his side of the bed empty. I sit when I hear him singing down the hallway.
Close your eyes, lay your head down
Now it's time to sleep
May you find great adventure
As you lie and dream
If you're scared of the darkness
I will calm your fear
There's a light in the hallway
So you know I'm here
I smile and quietly make my way to our new born son's nursery. I peak around the door frame and see Avi sitting in the rocker holding Jake while singing to him.
So count your blessings every day
It makes the monsters go away
And everything will be okay
You are not alone
You are right at home
Goodnight, goodnight
You won't need me forever
But I'll still be here
For we all have our nightmares
Even me, my dear
From now on, if you need me
You can sing this song
There's a light in the hallway
Burning all night long
So count your blessings every day
It makes the monsters go away
And everything will be okay
You are not alone
You are right at home
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
He finishes the song and stands up to put Jake carefully in his crib. I walk in careful not to wake Jake and wrap my arms around Avi's waist. He turns around to look at me and smiles. "What are you doing awake?" He asks me. "You weren't in bed so I came to find you." I explain while resting my head on his chest. I feel him lay his head in my hair and start to hum. I feel my eyes slowly close and he must notice because he picks me up bridal style and take me to our bed. Before I fully fall asleep I hear him start singing again.
