It was close to 10 pm and May was having a difficult time getting Tessa to sleep. The baby kept crying even when she was rocking her in the crib that she brought along for the trip, but nothing was working. "Okay Tessa, let's go for a stroll in your buggy.

Daniel started singing to Tessa who was between heaves of sobs. "Hush Little Baby, don't you cry! Gor Gor's gonna buy you a mocking bird!”
