Your pov

I lay in bed trying to fall asleep. Doria was out of town, Enola with a friend so I'm home alone. I look at the clock next to me. 3:40 am. What if I call her? No she probably isn't awake, but if she is I might be able to fall asleep.

I picked up my phone and selected her contact. It rang three times before she picked up.

"Love?" She mumbled

"Hi Doria" I mumble sheepishly

"I'm sorry I called you but I can't sleep"

I hear her slightly laugh through the phone.

"It's alright love. How can I help?"

"Could you sing?"

Eudoria's pov

She asked if I would sing. I haven't done that since Enola was a baby.

"Any requests?" I ask

"Sleep song please"

Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go

May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet

May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay

May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay"

After I was done singing I could hear her soft snores through the phone.

"Good night princess" I whisper

I fall back asleep moments later never hanging up.
