Chapter 588 Lust & Found:>76
- Joey woke alone in the dark, wondering for one brief second if it had all been a dream, and then, on the very edge of hearing, came the faint sound of singing, a song he almost knew. He climbed out of bed and followed the sound of soft singing to young Joe's room, and smiled at what he saw. Luna was sitting on the love-seat, her legs tucked under her as she sat wrapped in a light, filmy robe, Joe cradled in her arms, his empty bottle on the stand. As she sang softly, swaying gently as she rocked the infant, Joey finally recognized the tune; it was 'If I don't have you', by the Skyliners; it had been Karen's favorite lullaby for Joe, and his eyes were already fluttering sleepily as her warm contralto lulled him.
- Luna looked up and saw him in the doorway, flashing him a quick smile before once more turning her attention to the little boy in her arms, still singing softly to him. Joey watched, entranced, as Luna lulled his son, their son now, her eyes filled with nothing but tender compassion and concern for the motherless little boy she held as she sang him to sleep.
- Finally, she leaned down and kissed Joe on the forehead, then looked up again at Joey.
