I

____1st Person POV____

Sitting down in the living room of the small house, I felt frustrated as I tried to rock on the little rocking chair to calm my little baby girl. Her cries and screams just kept on echoing throughout the small house, sounding all throughout the halls. She kept screaming for her dad, wanting him to come home from work, but he was out and would be for a few days, so this was a joyful time.

She kept squirming around on my lap, trying to escape to run about, but it was naptime so I had to keep her. I kept my arms tightly around her, growing frustrated at her tantrum. Keeping my cool though, I just calmly held her in my arms as she kicked and screamed at me,

"I WANT DADDY!!" She repeated over and over again. I tried to tell her he'd be home soon, but after a bit of repeating myself I just let her cry it out.

I could tell she was getting tired as her movements were growing weaker, but she kept up her little fight. Although I should let her cry it out and be done with it, I was getting really angered. She's never thrown a fit like this, but since she's still in "terrible twos" phase although she's three now, it was bad.

Keeping her close, I let out a sigh, "I guess Dabi's not around, so it's fine... Right?"

Looking down at the little girl in my arms, I felt a pang hit me, but I kept going with it. Swallowing a lump in my throat, I took a breath,

"Where the northwind, meets the sea, there's a river- full of memory,"

She instantly looked up to me, confusion riding across her face as her cries died down,

"Sleep my darling safe and sound- for in this river, all is found," I sang out and she began to grow really tired.

Cuddling up to me, I could feel her instantly calming down and getting sleepy. I let out a small yawn myself and continued with the song,

"In her waters, deep and true, lies the answers, and a path for you. Dive down deep into her sound, but not too far or you'll be drowned," I could hear her little snores begin to sound throughout the room, replacing her cries from earlier, and instantly I felt peace. But I, for some reason, felt the need to sing a bit more- just as a precaution,

"Yes, she will sing to those who hear, and in her song, all magic flows. But can you brave what you most fear? Can you face what the river knows?" I let out, my eyebrow cocking up unknowingly to me as I felt the music flow,

"Where the northwind, meets the sea, there's a mother, full of memory. Come my darling homeward bound. When all is lost, then all is found," I finished and felt a smile creep onto my face as I looked down only to see my little girl sound asleep.

Letting out a relieved sigh, I stood from the rocking chair and as I did, I heard a voice speak up,

"D*mn, almost put me in a trance," looking up, I was shocked yet happy to see Dabi standing there in the doorframe. Raising an eyebrow at him, I began to walk towards the hallway, where the bedrooms were,

"You're back early- and how come I didn't hear you walk through the front door?" I asked and he followed me to our girl's bedroom.

As I walked over to the small bed, I set her down gently and stayed there, looking down and smiling at her. I felt Dabi's presence come next to me as he slung an arm around my shoulders. I could hear his head lean against my shoulder, to which I laid my head on top of his as we stood there,

"I was let off early. Said that they didn't need me," he answered and I gave a small nod. I could feel him shift under my head, so I stood back up, my eyes still looking down at the beautiful little girl before us. There was a few seconds of silence as the sound of her breathing was all to be heard before I felt a kiss being pressed against my temple, "So now, when are you going to sing to me like that?"

I shook my head, letting out a little laugh. Turning away from the baby bed, I followed Dabi out of the room with a small grin, "If I did, you wouldn't be able control yourself,"

I could hear him chuckle a bit, looking at me with a smirk as we made our way down the hall, back to the living room, "Is that so?"

I nodded as we both reached the couch. As I sat down, he came down with me, pushing me back into the couch, so he was hovering over me,

"Welp let's just see about that," he leaned down and we locked lips, but almost as so as we did, I could hear the cry echo through the house once more. Letting out a groan, Dabi pushed himself off of me and looked towards the sound. Just as I was about to stand up though, he held his arm out in front of me with a small smile on his patched face, "Don't worry, I got it,"

Smiling to him, he stood from his set and began to make his way towards the hallway, but not before turning back to look at me with a smirk,

"But this isn't over," he gestured to me and I rolled my eyes,

"Didn't plan on it to be,"

And just like that, sometimes villains make the best husbands.
