Blended Family: Devastated 2yr old when sister goes to dads

I'm due to be married and have a young blended family. My 5 year old sleeps at her dads every other night and my 2 year old has just realised she's actually not at school, she's with her dad and is not sleeping at home and it's breaking his little heart. They share a room together and when he wakes in the morning she's the first person he shouts for.
It started when her dad took her last weekend, when she went he cried and cried and cried and kept asking for her. He's always been a really good sleeper but when's she's not there he won't go to bed or sleep. He's normally in bed at 7 last night he was up till 11 with us and then I had to sleep in his bed for 2 hours which I have never done with any of mine. I wasn't prepared for this and I'm not sure what is best to do. Can anyone offer some advise please? 😊

Every other night seems a discombobulated way to do it for everyone - why not let her stay at yours during the week and weekends with her dad or similar so she has a bit more time at home perhaps?
