Camila is going to be slightly younger than Dinah for the purposes of this story.
"I, uh, I know I said I didn't want help with this but... um, I think I've, uh, changed my mind, if- if that's okay. I-I mean, it's okay if you don't want to anymore-"
"-Mila, honey, calm down. I already told you that this was all completely up to you and that if you changed your mind, Lauren and I will happily help you, okay?"
"I- uh, okay."
"Come here, babe." Opening her arms for the smaller girl, Dinah sends her a soft smile, giving her the courage to step forward into the hug.
Camila sniffles, tears of relief rolling down her cheeks.
"Why don't you take a nap, Mila?" The blonde suggests, pulling back slightly to wipe tanned cheeks only for the smaller girl to shake her head and cuddle closer into her again.
"No? Why not?"
"Don' wanna."
"How come?"
"Not tired."
"Come on, sweetheart, we're gonna take a nap and then we'll talk to Lauren when she gets back, okay?" She coaxes, gently leading the girl closer to her bedroom.
"Dinahhh..."
"What?" Easing the girl to sit down on the edge of her bed, Dinah smiles innocently, pretending to be unaware of what she's doing.
"Stop it."
"I'm not doing anything," she replies when Camila lets out a whine, "lie down for me, Mila."
"I don' wanna sleep."
"Come on, babe, just lie down for a little bit."
"Stop tryna make me feel little." The brunette whines again as she tries to get up, causing Dinah to lift her bridal style and set her down again in the middle of the bed before lying next to her.
"I'm not." She denies, pulling the girl closer and tugging the covers up over them both.
"Are too!"
"Shh, it's nap time."
"Nooo."
"Ah-ah. Close your eyes now."
"Dinahhh."
"Just try. If you're not asleep in the next ten minutes we'll get back up, deal?"
"Ughhh, fine."
"Good girl."

"I'm so happy she finally asked for help." Lauren smiles, shaking her head as she thinks about what Dinah just told her.
"Yeah, I mean, she was insanely nervous but she did ask."
"And then what happened?"
"I got her down for a nap. She didn't really want to but I could tell she was tired and she kept calling me out for trying to make her feel little. She was out within minutes." The younger woman grins victoriously, making her girlfriend roll her eyes.
"Dinah?" A sleepy voice calls from down the hall and soon enough the small brunette is standing in front of the two women as she tiredly rubs her eyes.
It only takes a few seconds for Camila to decide she wants to be held and the next thing she knows, she is already cuddled up in Dinah's lap, the taller woman running her fingers soothingly through her hair.
"Did you have a good nap, Camz?" Lauren coos, starting to rub the small girl's back under her shirt.
"Mhm."
