I put away the remaining dishes, my ears pricking as I hear a soft song drifting out of Karis’s room. Smiling, I set down the last plate and inch my way over, stopping just out of sight. Leaning against the wall, I close my eyes and drink in the throaty voice as she sings our youngest to sleep.

It’s always the same song - a song of love, of hope, of better times. Certainly a song that defies the current environment. Holding in a deep sigh, I let the melody seep into my soul and mend the wounds inflicted by life. Some may say she’s not the best singer, but to me, there will never be a voice as beautiful as Sonria’s.

It’s haunting, deep, and enchanting. The fact that she uses it to lull our daughter to sleep makes it even more precious. I wait, keeping vigilance by the door until she’s done. Tiptoeing in, I join her at Karis’s makeshift bed, the railings keeping her from falling out, but not much else.

If I came in before she was asleep, Karis would have cried for me, and we both know she never would have gone down. It would be one more story, one more song, one more something, until we all would want to collapse from sheer exhaustion. We learned early on it was better for Sonria to put her down and I come in to say my goodnights after.

My breath catches as I stare at her tiny form scrunched up around her favorite toy of this week. She’s so small, so defenseless. Sonria feels it too. I can sense it in the uneasy way her fingers reach out for her, only to pull back so as not to awaken the sleeping toddler. Gathering Sonria in my arms, I drag her out of the room and towards our own.

I never got the chance to celebrate with her properly, and now that I know she’s less tense, it will make the celebration all that more enjoyable. Dropping a soft kiss to her lips, I wait until we’re just past the door frame before scooping her up into my arms and sliding my lips more firmly against hers.

Sonria’s breath quickens as she wraps her arms about my neck, pressing her chest into mine. Her nipples are hard points as she grinds against me, relief making her just as desperate for me as I am for her. Pulling away, I quicken my steps until we’re inside our bedroom. Reaching out my foot, I push our door shut and toss Sonria onto the bed before turning on the small monitor that feeds into Karis’s room.

Though part of me wants to shut off the mom part of her brain, I know she will never be able to - even when all of our children are grown and mated. I just have to accept it and accommodate it as best as possible. For Sonria, being able to look up and make sure Karis is okay is enough to let her relax and enjoy my touch.
