A mom from Gold Coast, Australia, was totally unprepared for what she captured on the baby monitor.
In a clip on TikTok, footage from the baby monitor camera shows little Harper climbing out of her own crib into her brother Declan's.
After she's clambered over, Harper gently rubs her brother's back before snuggling up next to him. Declan, who seems half asleep still, moves over to make space for his sister.

"It was the sweetest, most unexpected moment to catch on the baby monitor," twin mom Sinead Finn told Newsweek.
The 34-year-old had been doing a routine check on the twins' monitor when she caught the adorable scene.
"That morning I noticed Harper was stirring, so I opened the app—I definitely wasn't expecting that," Finn said.
The twins Harper and Declan, like most siblings, have their disagreements—especially when toys are involved—but at their core, they share a remarkably close bond.
"They're each other's little sidekick," Finn said. "They've got such a sweet bond and are always checking in on each other."
As Finn was watching the encounter from the baby monitor, her reaction was instant. "I got emotional straightaway," she told Newsweek. "I just sat there staring at the screen with my hand over my mouth.
"The original video is actually over 15 minutes long, and I watched the whole thing unfold. It was such a pure little moment between them."
Finn's clip has been viewed 8.7 million times on TikTok and amassed over 832,000 likes. Over 11,000 users commented on the footage, melting hearts all over the internet.
"That's the most gorgeous thing I think I've seen on the internet," one user said.
"They're recreating how you treat them. Those kind words are their inner voice," another wrote.
A third user commented that he and his twin used to do this when they were younger. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago. "Thanks for posting, [definitely] got me in the feels," they said.
"The response on TikTok has been overwhelming in the best way," Finn told Newsweek. "So many people have commented that it melted their hearts or made them teary. I am trying to read all the comments but I'm having trouble keeping up, every time I refresh there are hundreds more."
