Third Person POV
Spying Grace's phone, unlocked, on the dining room table is a temptation Chester can't resist. He picks it up and goes to her camera, seeing she hasn't vlogged much for Fridiary this week. He has the perfect idea. Tip toeing to Elise's room, he sees Grace and Elise are cuddled together on Elise's bed. Chester stops, watching them for a moment before starting to film.
"Goodnight mommy." Elise whispers.
"Goodnight Elise." Grace murmurs in reply, kissing Elise goodnight. "I love you honey."
"I love you too." Elise answers, closing her eyes and snuggling down into the blankets.
Grace doesn't notice Chester at first, just watching her little girl drift to sleep. She has a smile on her face, one of the warm, emotion filled smiles that makes Chester's heart melt. Ever since they had Elise she's smiled that smile more often. Grace loves Elise more than anything in the world.
"You two are adorable." Chester whispers from the doorway.
"Hmm?" Grace asks, turning to see him filming her. "Are you recording?"
"I have been for a while." Chester remarks with a laugh.
"You dumb dumb." Grace says, shaking her head and giggling quietly.
Chester does leave her with Elise for a while, but when Grace hasn't come out of the bedroom for half an hour he goes back in there.
"Gra-" he's about to start, but stops short. "Aw, look at them."
Grace and Elise are asleep together, Elise buried in blankets and Grace on top of them, her arms wrapped gently around El's tiny form. It's too cute not to film.
"Like mother like daughter." Chester says softly. "I love my girls."

When Grace is editing Fridiary the next day, she decides to put the clips in. Why not, I mean everyone will go nuts seeing them, she thinks. The video hasn't even been published for ten minutes when her phone blows up, social media notifications dinging like crazy. Her twitter is overloaded with people fangirling.
"I'm having a cuteness overload omg XD"
"Grace 'I don't like kids' Helbig cuddling with a child...hmm"
"My fangirl heart is dying"
Grace laughs a little reading their tweets, happy that what makes her smile most makes other people smile too.
"I've been tagged in about ten gif sets of you putting Elise to sleep." Chester says from behind Grace.
"I saw them. The internet is really taken with our kid." Grace remarks.
Chester is about pull Grace in for a kiss when he hears little footsteps.
"Mommy, daddy, come look at what I drew!" Elise calls, waving them to the living room.
"We'll have to save that for later." Chester says, settling for giving Grace a kiss on the tip of her nose before they follow their daughter to the next room.
