** TWO THINGS:
 First, as most of you all know by now "Patches" has been Plagiarized. I unpublished some but not all of the chapters. I apologize to the new readers.

Second, Apparently, Wattpad removed "Patches" from him/her but now they are attacking Lottecon's "From Boys To Babies"!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kirstie was standing at the kitchen window watching Adam. He was swinging slowly on the tire swing as Mack ran around taking care of business. He just wasn't acting like the playful Adam.

She hears the doorbell and heads toward the living room. 

Kevin opens the door to a very tired looking Tim.

Tim limps in and chuckles. "Well, I see the house is still all in one piece."

"Hi Tim." Kirstie says as she walks into the living room taking a seat beside Patch.

"Where's my boy? You have him locked in a closet already?" Tim laughed, slowly sitting down.

"Oh no." Kirstie laughs. "He carried Mack outside. Uh, Tim I need to ask you something about Adam. He said he would take Mack out for me and I told him to stay in the back yard and he suddenly said 'Yes, Tim' with a slight attitude. He just started acting differently. Does he do that often?"

"Well." Tim says rubbing his eyes. "I see you've met Chloe."

Kirstie and Patch gives each other confused looks.

"Chloe?" Kevin ask with the same confused look.

"Chloe is a 13 year old female personality that Adam has. She don't come out that often. She tends to have a bit of an attitude." Tim says.

"She's not violent is she?" Kirstie ask, fearing for Little Bits safety.

"Oh no." Tim says shaking his head. "Well, her and I did get into an argument one time because of her smart mouth. She pissed, I'm sorry, she made me mad. So we were arguing. And she pushed me. Now you have to remember her mind is 13 but the body is a very healthy and strong 33 year old man. I didn't have my prosthetic on and was on my crutches. So needless to say, I busted my ass."

"Ask him about the one who doesn't talk." Patches said.

"That's aright, I can read sign language." Tim smiles. "I have a younger sister that lives in Texas that has to use it to talk. Yes there is one who doesn't talk. His name is Henry. He's very calm. Doesn't speak at all. He show's no emotions what so ever. He just follows you around like a lost child. He comes out a little bit more than Chloe. She don't show up very often."

"Hey T..Tim. I..I..I didn't know you wur hewe." (were here)  Adam says as he comes into the living room with Mack. 

"Or does she hang around very long." Tim adds before turning his attention to Adam. "Hey Buddy. I just got here."

"I..Is you weg huting?" (leg hurting) Adam says sitting next to Tim.

"As always." Tim says rubbing Adam on the back. "Are you ready to go home?"

"Yea, I gettin seepy." Adam says rubbing his eyes.

"Me too. Let's go home and take a nap." Tim says slowly getting up and picking up Adam's backpack. 

Kirstie hugs Adam's neck. "You come back soon, alright?"

"K." He says and turns to Patch sitting on the couch. "No opence, Mista Patch. I weally like playing with Patches." (no offence)

Patch laughs loudly and covers his mouth.

Tim gives Patch an apologetic look.

"Don't worry about it, it's Okay." Patch says.

"I think he knows you like playing with Patches, but don't be rude, alright." Tim says softly.

"I sowy, Mista Patch." Adam says, hugging himself and pouting.

Patch motions for him and holds his arms out for a hug.

Adam walks over and hugs him. "But tell Patches I be back to play with him, alwight." He whispers.

Patch chuckles and gives him a thumbs up. Adam gives him a thumbs up in return. 

"Thanks y'all for watching him. You really don't know how much that helped out." Tim says as him and Adam heads toward the door.

"Any time you need us to watch him, don't be afraid to ask." Kirstie says as she follows them to the door.

"You may be sorry for saying that." Tim laughs. "It was nice to meet you Patch."

"Same here." Patch says before Tim and Adam leaves.

Kirstie walks back over and sits down beside Patch. "Chloe worries me."

"I won't worry. Tim says she don't show up very much. And even when she does, she don't hang around very long." Patch says before putting his arm around her.

"And believe me. Patches can throw a pretty hard punch when he wants to." Kevin laughs. "He's been mad at me plenty of times when we lived on the street."

"Little Bits? No way." Kirstie giggle.

"Oh, Yes way. Back then he wouldn't talk. He'd get mad and draw his fist back and punch me anywhere he could." Kevin laughs.

"That wasn't always Patches." Patch laughs.
