Imagine. "Y/N!" you heard your husband screaming from downstairs. It was between horror and a scream full of adrenaline. 'What happened?' you thought immediately. You felt your heart beating hard in your chest as you run down the stairs. "What happened? Is Sami hurt? Are you hurt?" you say in a rush when you finally reach them. "No, we're fine but we-" he motioned to you and him "-are in big trouble" Darren explained. "What's going on?" you asked. Before he could answer, your 2 year old daughter Sami, pulled a little on your jean to catch your attention. "Open" she manages to say. She handed you a box she probably wasn't able to open by herself. "What do we say?" you ask back. "Please" she said slowly before you open the box.

She was about to go back to her playground but her father stopped her. "Wait Sam! Why don't you show Mommy what you can do?" Darren proposed. Sami put the box on the floor and walked to the door next to Darren. You frown. What the hell was that about? The toddler stood on tiptoes to put her tiny hands on the handle. It took her a few tries but finally she succeed at opening the door. "What? No, that's a lucky shot" you exclaimed, stoned. Darren sighed and closed the door again. Sami looked at him and went back to the door. Some clumsy movements later, the door was opened once more. "What? But... We just spend those last months locking all the drawers in the house and now she can open doors?" you ask astonished. "First the crib climbing and then that. Shit she's a fast learner" Darren said. "Uhm... Ok. Ok. I guess we will have to find something about this..." you rubbed your forehead.

After eating together and putting Sami to bed, you both went to your bedroom for a well deserved rest. In the middle of the night, a few noises from downstairs woke you up. You opened your eyes wide, suddenly afraid. "Darren!" you shook him, your worry getting worst by the second. He groaned and you shook him harder. "Darren wake up! I hear noises downstairs!" you inform him. "What?" he asked in a sleepy voice. You turned on the lamp on the nightstand and Darren suddenly closed his eyes firmly. "Babe! I'm freaking out right now!" you remind him in a loud whisper. "Ok, ok, I'm going. It's okay" Darren whispered. He kissed your head and with his sleepy own, he went out of bed and headed downstairs. Not to leave him alone, you walked closely behind him. Your worries got even more prominent when you saw a light coming from the living room. "Oh my god, there's someone!" you whisper. "Sssh" Darren turned to you with a finger on his lips. He was way more alarmed and awake than a minute before. You both head slowly towards the light.

When Darren peaked his head to look and started to laugh, you got really confused. At least it was not dangerous. You step into the light. It was definitely not dangerous. Your daughter was sitting in the middle of the living room, the Nutella jar opened and rested between her little legs. Her face was covered in chocolate and her hands dipping into the big jar. "Gosh" you sighed of relievement. You burst out laughing, from the stress going and the view. "What are you doing?" Darren asked Sami. He sat next to her and took the jar from her. She extends her arms to it and did some grabby hands towards it. "Sam, we can't get up at night to eat. That's not okay" you explain slowly. You did your best not to laugh or pout when she looked up at you, her face similar as her father's with those curls and those eyes. "If you can't sleep, you have to come see us princess. Okay?" Darren added and pets her hair. The little girl nodded. You checked that she didn't drop chocolate on the carpet and luckily she didn't. Just all over her shirt, face and hands. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up" you say. Darren and Sami got to their feet and before she could do anything else, her father said "Put your hands up! Can't touch anything until you're all cleaned up".

The little girl put her hands up in the air and ran to the bathroom. It was like a game for her. You laugh and Darren put a arm around your waist, leading you into the bathroom with a fit of giggles.
