Ch 9 - 2 AM
by Lattelady
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The nightmare caught Wyatt unawares. It had been months since it disturbed his sleep. He usually forced himself awake before he was caught in the middle of it. In his mind, his Princess was fighting the Witch, but this time she lost and was consumed in a flash of green fire.

“Deeg!” he cried out, waking them both.

“I’m right here, love.” She held him reassuringly.

“I thought I lost you, before I knew what I had.” His body moved over hers, needing to feel all of her.

“Never,” she whispered and together they quieted fears that haunted them both.

Note: Ten months after 2AM. The title is taken from Billy Joel's song Goodnight, Angel. I don't own that anymore than I do Tin Man

Ch 10 - Goodnight, My Angel
By Lattelady
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wyatt stood in the shadows, leaning one shoulder against the doorframe of the nursery, a contented smile on his usually grim face.

He watched her dance in slow circles, singing softly to the fussing bundle of girl child who rested in her arms. “’Goodnight, my angel now it’s time to dream…’”

He walked quietly into the room, joining his wife and daughter in their sleepy waltz. Deeg smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. It pressed the infant’s tiny ear against her father’s chest.

The baby princess fell asleep, to the sound of her mother’s voice and her father’s heartbeat.
