"While you two beautiful ladies are sunbathing, or make that three" Tim says with a smile as he sees Emily with a little bathing suit on. "Kevin and I are going to run to the store. We're taking the boys with us."

"Mmm mun." Patches says holding out his hand to Kirstie. "Sin t..tor." (money, spend at the store)

"You'll have to go get my purse." Kirstie laughs.

"Don't worry about it." Tim smiles. "If he finds anything he wants I'll get it."

"You don't know what you're saying, Tim." Kirstie laughs. "Apparently, you've never been to a store with Patches."

"No, but I have with Adam. So I pretty much know what to expect." Tim chuckles as he leans over and gives his fiance' a kiss.

"You guys be careful." Jenika whispers to him.

"We will." Tim says.

"Naaa, Ti." Patches pouts as Tim turns to walk away.

He turns by to Kirstie holding out his hand again. "Mmm mun, K..Kit!"

"It's okay, Buddy. I have money." Tim says as he motions for Patches.

"Kay." Patches giggles as he runs to Tim.

Tim turns around and almost trips over Henry who was standing quietly behind him.

"Good luck." Kirstie laughs as Tim shakes his head.

"So has Henry ever said anything?" Kirstie asks after the guys left.

"Not a word." Jenika answers. "Sometimes I don't think he likes me."

"Oh, that's not true." Kirstie smiles.

"He's very attached to Tim." Jenika says with a smile. "I don't think he likes it when Tim shows me attention."

"Is he ... gay?" Kirstie asks.

"No. I think he just thinks that he should have all of Tim's attention." Jenika says.

"I noticed he didn't like the idea of you sitting in Tim's lap." Kirstie smiles.

"Definitely not. But he's a real sweetheart, though." Jenika says. "It's really sad that Henry and Patch have to share their minds with other personalities. But I don't think I could handle life without Adam. And I know for a fact that Tim couldn't."

"I know what you mean." Kirstie sighs. "As much as I love Patch, I would hate to think of my life without my little Patches."

"Patches is such an angel." Jenika smiles.

"Whatever." Kirstie laughs.

~~~

About two hours later, very exhausted looking, Tim and Kevin walk out onto the patio where the girls were having some ice tea.

"Hard day, Baby?" Jenika laughs as Tim rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

"Can't say you wasn't warned." Kirstie smirks.

"Henry didn't want anything. But Patches?" Tim smiles.

"Can't say you wasn't warned." Kirstie laughs as she repeats herself.

"We finally had to start telling him 'No'." Kevin laughs.

"But he was buying for Adam too." Tim chuckles.

"That was sweet of him." Kirstie smiles.

"KIT!!" Patches yells as he comes running out with a large shopping bag.

"Oh, my Lord." Kirstie laughs.

"Oh, that's not all of it." Kevin chuckles.

"Mmm Em." Patches smiles as he hands Kirstie the bag.

"It's for Emily? That's sweet of you, Angel." Kirstie says as she takes the bag and sets it in front of Emily. "Emily, look. Bubba brought you something."

Patches sits down in front of Emily and giggles as Emily throws her bottle aside and reaches for the bag.

Emily looks inside the bag and begins to clap. Patches laughs and claps excitedly.

She reaches into the bag pulling out a Raggedy Ann doll that was bigger than she was.

"Oh my God." Kirstie laughs. "That is so cute!"

"Patches picked that out over all the other dolls." Tim smiles.

"E.. Em wub." Patches giggles as Emily hugs the doll and falls over backward.

"Sweetie, did you not want anything?" Jenika asks looking around Tim at Henry.

Henry shyly shakes his head and lays his head on Tim's shoulder.

"Oh, he didn't come away empty-handed." Tim smiles. "I saw him eyeing a sharp leather jacket. So I got it for him."

"Cool." Jenika smiles.

Henry smiles slightly but hides his face behind Tim.

"There were also some Native Americans there selling some hand-made stuff." Tim reaches and takes Henry by the hand raising his arm up to show the girls the beautiful hand-made leather bracelet with turquoise stones. (bracelet pictured above)

"Holy cow." Kirstie says. "That's beautiful."

"Glad you like it. Here." Tim says as he hands her a small bag.

"What's this?" She asks as she takes the bag.

"I just thought maybe Patch would like one too." Tim smiles.

"Oh, you shouldn't have. Thank-you." She says as she takes out the bracelet. "He'll love it."

"Did y'all buy yourselves anything?" Jenika asks.

"No." Tim chuckles.

"We were just having a blast watching the boys." Kevin laughs.

"Henry? Patches? Don't y'all have something to give the ladies?" Tim asks.

"Mmm pez." Patches nods as he reaches into his pocket. (present)

Henry takes a small box out of his pocket and quickly hands it to Jenika.

"Naa pez." Patches says as he feels around in his pocket. (no present)

"Try the other pocket." Kevin says.

Patches giggles as he finds the small box in the other pocket and hands it to Kirstie.

"They picked them out themselves." Kevin smiles.

The girls quickly open the boxes to find beautiful turquoise earrings.

"Oh, Thank you, Sweetheart. They're beautiful." Jenika says as she hugs Henry.

"They're absolutely gorgeous." Kirstie says as she holds one up to her ear and smiles at Patches. "What do you think?"

"Boot." He giggles and hugs her neck while leaving a sloppy kiss on her cheek. (beautiful)
