The entire castle was upside down. All the staff were in one of the rooms, helping you. And you didn't even need to see Dream's face to know how he was. Outside, the sky split in half between the sun and a thunderstorm gave you all the answers.

You ended up so tired that only when you heard your baby cry for the first time, you allow yourself to close your eyes for a second. You hadn't even noticed that hours had passed since the big moment.

You dreamed very beautiful things; the king had taken care of that: you, your baby, Flidder's Green, Morpheus, Matthew. Your baby's laughter in the palace.

That wasn't even the prettiest thing you'd seen today.

When you woke up, you were now in the master bedroom. Your gaze immediately traveled to your husband, Morpheus. He was standing in front of the balcony, holding a tiny ball wrapped in blankets in his arms. He carried it so carefully and gently, running his sandy thumb over it's round little nose.

You almost cried when you realized the truth: Morpheus was singing. The stoic king was singing to his baby.

— “ Close your eyes... Have no fear.. ” – Maybe it was a game of Delirium. You couldn't believe what was in front of you. — “ The monster's gone. He's on the run and your daddy's here... ”

The best part? Your baby seemed to like it.
