He realizes it and is amused in a way that she's asleep before he even finishes his lunch. But he'll finish it, one arm wrapped around her as he just watches the movie on his own.
About twenty minutes later, the tiny face of Dina appears in the doorway, and Stiles motions for her to be quiet. She comes to snuggle up on his other side to watch the movie, looking at Cora fast asleep.
"She looks like a sleeping princess," the child remarks.
Stiles just smiles, rubbing Cora's shoulder with his thumb affectionately. "Yeah, she does."
"Can Ms. Cora be my new mommy one day?" she asks quietly.
"I hope so," he told her just as quietly. "But not right now, okay? If she wants to be, she'll tell me when she's ready, okay?"
Dina nodded, and kept whispering, "Okay. But I really like her."
"I really like her too."
The child thought for a moment, and then carefully crawled over Stiles onto the side of the bed with Cora, and in true child fashion, managed to wedge herself into the snuggle between her and Stiles and decided that it was her nap time too.
