*I finished burping Ryder and lowered him into the crook of my arm. Laying back into the rocker, the same one I use to rock Nessie in just five years ago, I started a slow rhythmic rock, back and forth. I looked down into those big blue eyes. "Mr. Cullen, you must be ready for a nap, I don't sleep and I know I would love to take one" I giggled as he just cooed and stared up at me. "What? oh, I know what you want"
During his second night, after he had been up for a few hours and it seemed as if he was fighting sleep, I figured that I would try singing to him. He loved it! I laid in my arms, very peaceful and content.
"Ok monkey, I will sign if you promise to close your eyes" While what looked like a tiny smile, he just continued to stare. "Alright, you win...." and I started to sing what seemed like, his favorite song.
Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine
*As I finished the last line of the song, I watched him slowly drift off to sleep with that same tiny smile on his face. I know I should have put him in the little bed that Emmett and Edward picked up for him but I just couldn't bare to put him down. I didn't know how fast he would grow so I was going to cherish every second of this wonderful gift. I continued to rock back and forth and the only thing I could think was.....thank God vampires don't sleep. I wouldn't want to miss a minute of this*
