Imagine. You were walking through the mall with your husband and your daughter. He was pushing the now empty stroller and you carried your 18 months girl in your arms. Her head was on your shoulder and you rubbed her back softly as you heard her yawn. "You're tired" you say to Sami. "I'm not" your girl answers and looked at you. It was impossible to make her take a nap in the beginning of the afternoon and of course, now she was exhausted. "Yeah you are. Look at you, you're struggling to keep your eyes open" you say and put a lock of her curls behind her ear so it will not fall in her eyes. "..not" the little girl managed to say, still fighting her urge of sleep. "Can I try?" Darren asks as you both stopped walking. You nodded and he reached for her to put her against his chest. He carefully put her head on his shoulder. "Close your eyes, princess" he said to her. Sami closed her eyes for a second and opened them again. "Keep them close" he corrected. "Should we sing Twinkle Twinkle?" he whispers as he starts to rock her. The toddler nodded sleepily and both started to sing "Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high...". By the end of the verse, Darren was signing alone and Sami was asleep in his arms. You just stood there astonished. He always had that power to make her sleep. You remembered how sometimes Sami cried all night until Darren came back from work and rocked her. And magically without another cry, she fell asleep everytime. Darren looked lovingly to his daughter before he carefully put her back on her stroller. "What's the secret?" you smirked. "I'm Harry Potter. That's the secret" Darren winked. You giggle as he joins you to push the stroller. "Do you think we can go home and go have a magical nap too?" you propose. Darren titled his head and seemed to think about it for a second. "Only if we take the flying car" he responds. You both chuckle and you pecked his lips. "Let's go home" he almost whispered before kissing your forehead.
