"Skylar! Annabelle isn't going to sleep...could you do your magic trick again please!?" Hazel begs looking exhausted.

Rolling out of bed I waddle down the hall and into Annabelle's room.

Looking down at her with a small smile I lift her up and cradle her.

Singing her the same lullaby as always and I stroke her cheeks with my finger.

She holds my hand with her two tiny ones and cuddles it.

Smiling I feel myself tear up.

"Are you okay?" Hazel asks putting her hand on my shoulder.

Nodding I sniffle and laugh, "Hormones...you know how bad they get."

She chuckles and gently takes Annabelle and lays her in her cot, tucking her in.

That'll be me soon.

These 3 months are gonna fly by....

"I know I ask you to do that most nights but your voice is so beautiful and she goes off to sleep in seconds when you hold her.." She sighs.

"It's a gift I guess..my mother was always good with children too.." I smile sadly.

"Would you come downstairs and sing for everyone...?" She clasps her hands together.

"Of course, but then I need a bath and sleep cause my feet are killing me!" I snort.

Making it downstairs I see everyone curled up on the sofas and I sit beside George.

He pulls me onto his lap and wraps his arms around me.

"I love it when you sing that lullaby to my little girl..." Lloyd grins.

"Hazel must know it word for word now. After hearing it every night for 6 months.." I laugh.

Everyone shares a little chuckle and Hazel winks at me.

"Skylar said she'll sing for us before she goes to bed.."

Everyone starts a commotion and I yawn into the back of my hand.

"I'll make this song quick as I truly am exhausted.." I mumble.

George rubs small circles on my lower belly and I stroke his jaw.

"My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for release.

You gave it all into the call
You took a chance and
You took the fall for us.

You came thoughtfully
Loved me faithfully
You taught me honour
You did it for me.

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me, my love.

Now I am strong, you gave me all
You gave all you had
And now I am home.

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you." I sing as George rests his head on my chest and I play with his hair.

"Your voice is so angelic Skylar.." Natasha weeps.

Laughing I push myself up onto my feet and kiss George on the cheek.

"Goodnight everybody..." I yawn as I make my way up the stairs.

Getting back to our room I forget about the bath and climb into bed.

Throwing my clothes across the room.

"Goodnight little one.." I whisper looking down at my belly.
