Henry Stickmin Frozen AU- Reginald’s Last Lullaby
~In the actual story, there is no actual singing. As in the Henry Stickmin universe they don't burst into song but rather burst into dance. So, I'm leaving the songs in seperate chapters. I decided to write this one first as I wanted to get it out the way.
This song is a version of the lullaby that was sung to Henry when he was a baby. The lyrics are changed as Reginald is mourning over that Henry has now become nothing but a golden statue because of him.~
XWARNINGX
This song and mini part contains major spoilers to the story "All That Glitters Is Pain" if ye don't wish to see any spoilers please click away now. But if ye are anything like me and don't mind spoilers: then feel free to stay.
Without further a-do: let's begin.

"... I could never hate you, dad... I will always love you..."
The air was silent. Nobody dared to make a peep. The gold sparkles that were once raining down on them had frozen in place. The scene that was left before them was something that Reginald had prayed to never see ever. Reginald was left shaking as he slowly moved his hand up before cupping the cold surface of his son's cheek, taking in what was left of what was once his happy baby boy.
"... Henry..." Charles frowned, tears threatning to leak from his eyes.
The Government soldiers were standing there with all looks of sadness displayed on their faces. The Toppat members weren't too different.
Right struggled to hold back his feelings as tears managed to escape his eye, feeling an ache coming from his heart.
Galeforce just looked at Charles with a sad expression along with the Toppat robot who simply rested its hand on the pilot's shoulder.
Reginald was the most emotional out of all of them. Ever since he accidentally got Henry in the head he had nightmares of all the horrible damage he could do to the boy that he never wanted to actually happen. Reginald was left too weak to even fight back when he realized his worst nightmare had come true.
"... No..." the word slipped from the male's lips as reality dawned on him, "... no... no.. no no no!" he suddenly pushed himself up from his knees only to tightly hug the golden statue with tears cascading down his face. His words echoed around the quiet world. "... No..." he looked up at Henry's golden face once more- seeing the warm loving smile now permanently on his face- "... Henry I'm... I'm so sorry..." his voice cracked as he tried to hold back the tears that were desperate to come out, "... I... I didn't mean... I didn't mean to hurt you... not again..." Reginald gently pressed his forehead against Henry's, feeling tears leak from his eyes. "... I promised... that you would... be safe... I should've known I couldn't protect you..." he sobbed.
As Reginald cried, the world seemed to cry with him. Charles tried to wipe his eyes that were becoming cloudy with tears while Right looked away with Sven trying to comfort the poor cyborg.
"... Don't cry..."
"... It's okay..."
"... Daddy's here..."
"... Don't cry Henry..."
"... I know what'll cheer you up..."
Reginald blinked away his tears only to softly look up at his son with bloodshot eyes, his heart stung horribly with ache, just seeing that happy face left reminded Reginald so many old happy memories he had locked away to keep Henry safe. Now that Henry was gone, he had nothing holding him back.
"Ready to find some treasure."
"well done, Henry! You found the treasure."
"Papa!"
"Dad, can I eat lunch with you? The kids at school keep picking on me."
"Henry, who do you love the most?"
"Hehehehe I love my Dad!"
Reginald had hoped this was all just a dream. A horrible dream that when he woke up Henry would be running around with a big happy smile on his face. But the feeling of pain that lingered when he fell to his knees hitting the now rock solid golden floor reminded him that he was awake and that Henry was really gone. He couldn't look away, even when the memories of Madeline filled his mind with Henry in her womb.
"There's no doubt Madeline's condition will get worse but if it does the next few months of her pregnancy: there's a high chance we can save her son. Not her, chief, I'm sorry."
Reginald, now left with nothing but a broken heart, let the memories of his late wife enter his mind letting the tears from the past resurface. He softly sobbed as he realized his past fears were now confirmed. He truly had lost both of his loved ones.
"Oh, Reginald, he's crying."
Reginald softly hugged himself as the familiar echo of Madeline's voice filled his ears, being the only other sound despite not actually being there. Just like those many restless nights after she had left this world.
"Aw, poor baby."
The man remembered his mind filling the empty lonely nights with what could be classified as Madeline's ghost. Letting her be by his side while he was left to be a single parent to their infant son. When Right had moved in as the missing parent figure for Henry, Reginald had forgotton about Madeline's "spirit" and moved on with joy re-finding him. But now that he had lost his joy as well as the one he had left in his heart... Madeline seemed to slip back into his life even though he could no longer see her or feel her warmth ever again.
"Do you think someone needs their lullaby?"
The male looked up at what was left of his son before he forced his legs into some form of standing. He looked into Henry's eyes, picturing the tiny baby with white hair wailing after a bad dream inside his bassenet in his little space-themed onsie, only to softly close them with a heavy heart and salty wet tears slipping out. He parted his lips.
'Oh sweet little Henry,
Please don't let this horrible sight be true,
Let me listen to your heartbeats as I hold you close,
I was meant to be there to let you know:
That it's going to be all alright.
And how much I love you.
But I pushed you away,
Not knowing it was already too late.
Your mother is now with you,
Now that you're always smiling,
Hoping that you're now smiling down on the world you left behind.
I'm sorry I couldn't keep your mother's promise,
For where was I to love you,
To watch you grow and laugh,
And I was dumb enough to not realize,
How much I needed you:
And now I'm here with only what's left of you.
Henry if you're still in there...
... I just want to say...
... I'm so sorry, son'
As Reginald sang the final note, he collapsed in a defeat hug on the golden statue and loudly cried. No longer caring if the Clan and the Government were watching. He had just lost what was left of his family. What had he done to deserve this? He wished with every pound of his pained heart that he could reverse the curse he had struck what was left of his love.

A/N I'm not writing any more as it goes to characters talking.
Not gonna lie, I nearly ended up actually sobbing like Reginald writing this (especially the mother part and the lullaby lyrics.)
Below is the old version of Henry's lullaby.
Original lullaby:
"Oh sweet little Henry,
Please don't let those dark clouds find you,
Just listen to my heartbeats as I hold you close,
I'm always here to let you know:
That it's going to be all alright.
And how much I love you.
Your mother is always with you,
She is always smiling,
Please don't cry my sweet little Henry,
For we are here to love you,
To watch you grow and laugh,
And I know when I need you:
You'll be there for me too."
Hope ye liked it if ye read it. Also, who needs a tissue right now?
