Enter the "hero", Knight, a widower w/2 young children, twin toddlers, Luke and Isabel. Lukey is a real littile hellion and Knight has gone thru 4 nanny's already during his short time in London working Olympic games security.
... He looked over and saw Isabel on her belly, eyes closed and still. But Luke's crib was gently swaying.
His son was on his knees, chest and head on the mattress, sucking his thumb, rocking from side to side, and still asleep. Knight sat up to watch. For much of the last two years, Luke had been doing this before waking up in the morning.
After several moments, Knight snuck out of the nursery, wondering if his son's rocking had something to do with REM sleep. Was it disturbed? Did he have apnea? Was that why Luke was so wild and Bella so calm? Is it what made his son's languare delayed and kept him from being toilet trained when his sister was months ahead of the norm? Is that why Luke was a biter?
