"Papa! Papa!" you cried, running into your father's room, hugging your stuffed bunny close to you.
"Ugh
what's wrong (Name)?" asked Lovino, rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"I-I had a nightmare
"you stuttered out, tears starting to form at the corner of your eyes, making Lovino worry.
Walking up to you, he crouched down to your level and asked, "What was it about?"
"W-well *hic*
" you started, hiccupping on your words as you were crying too much, "I d-dreamt tha- *hic* that you did'nt *hic* love me any *hic* more
"
Lovino's eyes widened upon hearing that, wondering how you could possibly believe that would happen.
"Sai che non sarebbe mai accaduto (1) (Name)." said Lovino softly, stroking your hair.
"B-but
" you stammered, still crying.
"How about this? Why don't you sleep with Papa today?" suggested Lovino.
Nodding, you walked up to the bed and climbed up into the other side of the bed.
"B-but Papa, I can't go back to sleep now! What if when I get up tomorrow and you're really not here anymore?!"
"(Name)
" said Lovino, watching you sob in shock. You had always been a cheerful little kid, never once has he seen you break down like that. It made him feel like his heart had just been stepped on and grinded into a thousand pieces.
"Don't worry (Name)
that won't happen. Want me to sing you a song?" asked Lovino. Hearing that, your sobbing slowed, allowing the tears to clear off a little, and you nodded. Hearing your papa sing was very rare, but when he sings, all your worries just fade off and you can't help but feel all happy inside.
"Ok then." he said, pulling you close to him, rocking you back and forth as he sang.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
"Sei la mia luce del sole. Ti voglio bene, mia figlia.(2)" said Lovino, kissing your forehead and laying you down softly on the bed.
"Ti voglio bene....papa..." you managed to yawn out, before falling asleep, all your problems long since forgotten.
Chuckling, he then lay down with you, holding you close to his chest and soon the both of you were fast asleep, with big smiles on both of your faces.
(1) You know that would never happen
(2) You are my sunshine. I love you, my daughter
Dammit now I'm crying FFFFFF-
