My Little Angel
Nighttime was very quiet in skyworld, usually there be some noise whether it be the inhabitants or the guards, but tonight it was quiet it had been a long day. The same for Palutena temple as it was quiet as there was no military training or speeches given to the people. In the master room, Pit was blissfully asleep having been exhausted from his mission that all he wanted was to be home with his wife and son. He moved around a bit to cuddle with Palutena but couldn’t feel her.
“Huh… Palutena” said while half asleep.
He continued to feel around the sheets but felt nothing.
“Lady Palutena?”
No response.
“what…” opening his eyes, he is shocked to see she is not in bed which scared him.
“Oh my god, where is she?”
Getting up from his bed he began to change into his clothes to go find her but first he had to make sure his son was okay. When he went to check on him, he was shocked that his son was not in his crib. Panicked he left the room with a lantern as he set out to find them.
Half hour looking for her, he starts to become more worried as he’s looked mostly all over the mansion for Palutena hoping she and their son were okay.
“I hope there okay, I’ve searched this whole place and there’s no sign of them. I feel there’s something wrong, then again, they have just taken a walk but at this time? I hope there okay.” He thought to himself.
While still searching throughout the hallways, he started to hear something that grabbed his attention. It was beautiful and calming that made his heart fluster as if someone was… singing? “Where is that coming from?” He followed it hoping to find its source as the more he got close it became more beautiful to the voice was. Where it led him was to a balcony and when he arrived, he saw Palutena in her white nightgown holding their son rocking him as she sang.
Moonbeams and starlight, magical twilight
The warmest ray, hear it whispering your names
Rainbows at midnight, sparkling night skies
Don't go away, stay another day
That song, he remembered it. It was that same song she sang when she was by herself or when she was getting ready for bed. He has seen her singing which once in a while he would overhear her sing when she didn’t notice. He has once told his friends that her singing was like her voice came from the heavens.
My throat, it asks me to sing
And the pain goes away, like a memory goes away
Ever since childhood, and until the sun rises
To rest, when I find you
It brought back a memory from the moment when Paluenta was there for him. In his room he was recovering from an attack by medusa army, she one day she showed up in his room and sang that song every night until he fully recovered. It also became the place where they first confessed to each other and had their first kiss.
Stretch my spine, to tap dance
And the rhyme says, that I will love you
So open the circle for me to show you
I came here just to sing
Another memory was the time when she was pregnant, he always found her singing to her unborn child while rubbing her stomach. Pit always found it cute but Palutena always said she wanted to have the baby know her and singing was the best way. Pit thought differently though.
Stretch my spine, to tap dance
And the rhyme says, that I will love you
So open the circle for me to show you
I came here just to sing
As she finished singing, she planted a kiss on his forehead “Sweet dreams my little angel” she whispered
Once she was finished, he slowly walked up to her hoping not to disturb her or to scare the baby. “Lady Palutena”
“Oh my god Pit,” as she screamed but not enough to wake the baby up. “You nearly scared me to death”
“I’m sorry lady Palutena, you weren’t in bed and nor our son so I got worried and went looking for you”
“It’s alright, sorry if I scared you, our little baby was a little scared so I took him out to see the stars and sing him to sleep”
“That’s okay at least there was no trouble” he walks up to her and hugs her along with the baby. “can I join you?” he says as he wraps his arms around her bringing her into a warm embrace
“Yes, you can”
They soon began to look at the night sky seeing how beautiful it is but to enjoy how peaceful it was. It had been a surprise that their futures would ever be like this being married, having children and a place like home. Before they both couldn’t for many reasons given their status but now, they have the freedom because all they care was that they love each other no matter what.
“Beautiful night isn’t it”
“It is”
“I never imagined what life would be like”
“I know I remembered when I proposed to you, you literally cried in tears that you nearly embarrassed yourself when the guards came in and thought”
“And I also remember when I told you I was pregnant; you nearly head a heart attack that some of the doctors had to use magic to keep you from dying.”
“And I still remember it. Those were great memories”
“Memories that I would never regret having with you”
That made him smile as he went up to hug her in which she does the same before they separating.
“After so many years, I never thought I would be this happy in my life with you”
“Same but there is one thing that makes me happy about all this”
“And what that be Pit?”
“That you never stop being the person I know and love when I laid eyes on you”
Slowly pit brought himself close to Palutena hugging her and gives her a kiss which she replies to him the same. They were soon interrupted by the sound of a baby noise which they both smiled and looked him as they both planted a kiss on his forehead.
“He’s very happy to see us whenever were together”
“And very cute, that’s why he’s my little angel”
“Our little angel, just like you are Palutena”
That made her blush enough that she grabbed pit by his collar and pulled him to her face. They stayed together for the whole night watching the stars in the sky. They were happy to have a bright future with a family they always wanted and there will be. For now, they just want to enjoy this moment with their son and be happy that a bright future is waiting for this family.
