night time talks

Carrie's pov





Carrie lay flat on her back with her hands over her ears, her eyes focused on the ceiling above her. Kelly lay by her side doing the exact same thing. The clock read four am and they hadn't been to sleep yet.



'Maybe we should go up.......'



'Maybe we shouldn't......' Carrie looked at her wife. 'They don't want us to....'



'why though.....they don't seem to be doing to good......'



'It's their first night home........' Carrie explained.



' He doesn't like the room.....'



'who?'



'Jakob.....'



'Jakob doesn't like our guest bedroom?'



'Yes.....'Kelly rolled onto her side.



'And he told you this?.....did he say..Auntie Kelly love the curtains but this bedspread has to go........'



'That smirk on your face means you think your funny right?.....'



'He's a baby...'Carrie laughed. 'You could lay him in the middle of the garden and he would be happy.......'



'So what's his problem then.......'



'He's a baby......'Carrie looked up at the ceiling hearing the crying getting louder. 'And a clarkson....he likes to hear himself.......'



'This clarkson will kick you out this bed in a minute if you dont be quiet......' Carrie smiled at the tone of her wife's voice. It was light and flirty.



'Didn't say I didn't like it.......'



'Maybe he's in pain........'



'Maybe......' Carrie sat up putting on the light.



'You going up......'



'I don't want him in pain.......' Carrie slipped out of the room leaving her wife behind.



When she got to the guest room door she could hear Ashley inside trying her best to calm her son. She waited a few moments before knocking. Her hand wasn't even away from the door when Ashley opened it.



'You complain and i'll kill you.....'Ashley stood by the door holding her the small baby in her arms .His little face bright red from crying.



'Not here to complain..........is he ok.......' Carrie swept her hand over Jakob forehead.



'Yes....he's just got that Clarkson temper.....' Carrie looked behind Ashley.



'Where's jas?.....'



'Drove to the store an hour ago for pain killers for me.....i think he might be staying out just so he cant hear him.....'



'And are you ok......'Carrie looked at Ashley, she looked like she hadn't slept in days.



'I just don't know what to do.....ive done everything.....read to him patted his butt...i even sung to him....nothing works.......' Carrie's eyes lit up as she heard Ashley talk.



'Can I borrow him?.......'



'You want to borrow my son?......' Ashley held her son closer to her.



'You can sleep.....' Carrie held her arms out quickly as she saw the same baby being handed to her. Before she could say anything the bedroom door was shut leaving her standing alone with a screaming baby.





Kelly's pov.





Kelly leant up on her elbows in the bed as she heard the cries coming closer, her mouth hung open as she watched her wife enter with the screaming baby in her arms.



'And you brought him here why?.......'



'Ashley tried everything.......he wont stop....' Carrie lay Jakob down on the middle of the bed.



'And you think we can stop him?.......you going to bribe him?.......'Carrie shook her head as she walked towards the closet.



'No.....but we will get him to stop.....'



'How?......'



'By singing......' Carrie walked back out of the closet holding a guitar. Handing it to Kelly she sat back down next to the crying baby.



'And why will this work.......' Kelly looked down at her screaming nephew.



'Cause ive seen your concerts........when you sing people can't help but stop and look......' Kelly smiled at her wife's sweet words. She would have kissed her if it wasn't for the screaming baby between them .



'So what do we sing......'



'Why.....'



'Cause I need to know what to play......'



'No....'Carrie shook her head, 'sing why.......Annie Lennox......' Kelly nodded as she began to play the guitar.





How many times do I have to try to tell you

that im sorry for the things ive done.

But when I try to start to tell you

that's when you have to tell me

Hey...this kind of troubles only just begun

I try to tell myself too many times

why dont you learn to keep your big mouth shut

thats why it hurts so bad to hear the words

that keep on falling for your mouth





Carrie lay back on the bed her eyes focused fully on Kelly. Jakobs screams were now reduced to softer cries. Kelly's eyes were closed as her fingers slid over the strings of the guitar.





Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me

Why

Why



I must be mad

I must be blind

I must be viciously unkind

But I can still read what your thinking.



Kelly sung the words, feeling each and every one of them. She kept her eyes shut tight. Jakobs soft cries were slowing.



And ive heard it said to many times

That you'd be better off

besides

Why can't you see this boat is sinking.





Kelly's voice shook a little at that line of the song.





Lets go down to the waters edge

And we can cast away those doubts

Some thing's are better left unsaid.

But they still turn me inside out

Tell me

why

tell me

why





Kelly took a deep breath before she began singing again. Her eyes opened focusing fully on Carrie's sad ones.



This is the book ive never read

these are the things ive never said

this is the path i'll never tread

these are the dreams I dream instead

this is the joy that's seldom spread

these are the tears

the tears we shed

this is the fear

this is the dread

These are the contents of my head

and these are the years we have spent

and this is what the represent

and this is how I feel

do you know how I feel.





Kelly looked away from her wife, the words to real to sing as she looked at her.





Cause I dont think you know how I feel

I dont think you know what I feel

you dont know what I feel.





Kelly finished the song, sitting the guitar down beside her, she couldn't bring herself to look up.





Carrie's pov.





Carrie sat stunned on the bed, it was the first song she thought of as Jakob screamed in her ear, she hadn't really thought about the lyrics of the song to much. How real they were to them. Carrie's mind went back to Jakob, looking down she saw the small baby sound asleep his little hands resting at the side of his head.



'It worked.....' Carrie cleared her throat.



'Yea....'Kelly whispered. She still hadn't looked up from her hands.



'Should I take him back up?....'



'No.....'Carrie could barely hear her wife talk. ' 'I'll grab his basket........let Ashley sleep....' Carrie nodded as Kelly left the room. She looked back down at the baby in her bed. The lyrics of the song played in her head as kelly came back in holding the basket in her hand.



'Let me help.....' Carrie jumped for the bed taking hold of the basket as Kelly gently lifted up Jakob.



As jakob lay sound as sleep in his small bed carrie and kelly climbed back into their own bed, turning out the light Carrie slid closer to her wife.



'I liked hearing that......'



'Yea?...'



'Yea........it's gave me something to think about.......'



'Yea?....' Kelly turned her head.



'Yea.......night.....'Carrie leaned in leaving a small kiss on Kelly's cheek. Kelly returned the kiss before carrie closed her eyes. She could feel Kelly's hand slide up till it was resting against her own. Opening her hand carrie waiting for Kelly to place her own in it before closing it again.









Everyone most likely knows the song but anyone who doesn't should really listen to the original and Kelly's version. Both are amazing.
