* First, I want to say THANK-YOU for the 4.1 THOUSAND reads!! Ya'll are AMAZING and I LOVE Ya'll!!

** Second, Just like the different in appearance between Patches and Patch (beanie and man bun), there is also a difference in appearance between Adam (bandanna) and Henry (pony tail, no bandanna as pictured above). 

************

Kirstie opened her eyes the next morning and found herself face to face with a green dragon. She rolls her eyes and slowly raises up to check on Patches. He was still sound a sleep, snoring quietly.

She gets up and takes a quick shower. After getting dressed, she checks on Emily. She grabs the baby monitor and heads down stairs when she smells breakfast.

She walks into the kitchen to find Tim at the stove on his crutches as he fixes breakfast. Jenika was setting the table and Adam or Henry was sitting quietly at the table.

"Morning." Kirstie says as she walks in.

"Good morning." Jenika smiles. Tim gives her a wave.

Henry, apparently, looks up at her and slowly gets up from the table. He walks over to where Tim is at the stove. He leans lightly into Tim.

Tim looks around at him and meets his wide blue eyes. 

"What's wrong?" Tim ask quietly.

Henry looks over his shoulder at Kirstie.

Tim chuckles and shakes his head. "She's not gonna hurt you. I promise."

"Will you be my friend, Henry?" Kirstie smiles at him.

He shyly lays his head on Tim's shoulder.

Tim kisses him on the forehead. "Mouse, you need to move away from the stove, alright? Some grease may pop on you."

"Did you just call him 'Mouse'?" Kirstie giggles.

"That's my nickname for him." Tim chuckles. "Because he's quiet as a mouse."

"Kirstie, it took him forever to warm up to me." Jenika smiles. "He used to treat me the same way. He'd always run away from me and attach himself to Tim. But he got better."

Henry slowly makes his way back over to the table. His eyes never leaving Kirstie.

"Morning ya'll." Kevin yawns as he comes into the kitchen. "Need help, Tim?"

"Well, you might could carry the food to the table, I can't very well do it while I'm on my crutches" Tim smiles as he puts the bacon on a plate.

"Morning, Adam." Kevin smiles as he sets a plate of food down on the table.

Henry stares at Kevin with huge eyes. He reaches and takes Jenika by the hand, lifting her arm up and putting it around his shoulders.

"Honey, that's Kevin. He's really sweet." Jenika laughs as she hugs Henry up to her.

"Is he alright?" Kevin asks.

"Kevin, this Henry. One of the other personalities." Tim says as he makes his way over to the table. "He's very, and I mean VERY shy around people he doesn't know."

"Kind of like Patches use to be." Kevin smiles.

"Speaking of the 'Wild man', where is he?" Tim asks, but as he looks up, he sees Patches shuffling into the kitchen rubbing his eyes. "Well, speak of the devil." Tim chuckles.

Patches stumbles over and sits down in Kevin's lap, laying his head on Kevin's shoulder.

"Good morning, sleepy head." Jenika smiles.

Patches whines and buries his face into Kevin's neck.

"Don't be rude." Kevin whispers to him.

"Looks like somebody woke up in an ill mood this morning." Kirstie giggles, reaching over and rubbing Patches on the back.

"Mmm bee, K..Keb." Patches mumbles into Kevin's neck.

"The beach?" Kevin asks and Patches nods his head.

"Sweetie, don't you want to do something different today?" Kirstie ask.

Patches shrugs, still not raising up.

Tim looks around at Henry and notices he hasn't touched his food. He was staring at Kevin and Little Bits.

"Mouse, you need to eat something." Tim says to him softly.

Henry looks around at Tim and then to his untouched plate of food. He picks up a piece of bacon and slowly begins to eat.

"Well, since Patches and Henry are here, we can always take them back to the zoo and aquarium." Tim says as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"What about it Little Bits? You want to go to the zoo?" Kevin asks.

Patches raises up and shrugs his shoulders, having no idea what they were talking about.

"You'll love the zoo. It has a bunch of animals." Kirstie says, handing him a piece of bacon.

"Doo?" (zoo) Patches ask reaching for the bacon.

"And the aquarium has a lot of cool stuff too, like sharks." Jenika smiles. Tim smiles, rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

Patches smiles and nods at Jenika.

Tim picks up a glass of milk and holds it up to Henry for him to take a drink. Henry leans over and takes a drink of the milk. As Tim sets the glass back down, he notices that Kirstie and Kevin were watching.

"He, uh, sometimes seems to forget that he's holding a glass and turns a loose of it and drops it. So after a bunch of broken glasses and spilled drinks, we thought it would be best if we just held the glass for him." Tim explains.

"How long does he usually stay?" Kirstie asks.

"It differs. Though usually, a day or two." Tim smiles as he wipes off Henry's milk mustache. "Luckily, Chloe only stays for no longer than 30 minutes. She's the weak one."

"Actually, we don't know why Henry is this way. He doesn't make a sound, where Adam chatters none stop. We think that his mind is at the normal age, but yet we actually have to help him more that we do Adam. It's like his mind, spaces out a lot." Tim says as he looks over at his little buddy.

"And he's extremely shy and very clingy to me and Tim, especially Tim." Jenika tells them.

"K..KIT!" Patches suddenly yells causing them all to jump.

"What!!??" She says, looking around at him still sitting in Kevin's lap.

"Mmm DOO!!!" Patches says pushing his hair out of his face. (ZOO!)

"I think someone is ready to go to the zoo." Kevin laughs.

Patches nods.
