And that is when the realization hits Alex: Maria is doing the same thing Henry does to him whenever he is stressed and needs rest. Their daughter is copying Henry.Alex is so touched and smiles.“Papa, stop smiling and sleep,” she reprimands him.“Okay, I’m sorry, princess.”The last thing Alex remembers before sleep takes him is Maria’s little hand caressing his hair and a kiss on his cheek.----orMaria, Alex and Henry's 4-year-old daughter asks Alex to take a rest while they wait for Henry to come home
