Kirstie had just given Patches a bath. Over the months, she had gotten used to given him baths and not thinking of her boyfriend's body. She sees Patches as her son, more or less.

He wanted to play in the bubbles a little longer. 

"Don't make a mess." She tells him as she dries her hands. She giggles to herself know those were wasted words. His smile and nod were a waste of body movement.

The door bell rings and he screams then starts to giggle.

She laughs and rolls her eyes at his silliness.

"You stay right there." She says as she heads down starts to answer the door, passing Mack and Satchmo on the way. Petting both large dogs as she passed.

She opens the door to a smiling Adam.

"Hey, Sweetie." She smiles as he hugs her tightly. "I didn't think you were going to be here until tomorrow."

"That was the plan but I got called back to work." Chris smiles apologetically. "I have to catch a plane back to California this evening."

"Oh, that's fine. We love having Adam here." She says as Chris sets down Adam's suitcases.

"Tim already knows about him being here so he'll probably start calling your phone every couple of hours now." Chris laughs shaking his head.

"Isn't he supposed to be enjoying his honeymoon?" Kirstie laughs.

"I don't see how he's getting much accomplished." Chris laughs.

"Well, Jenika had told me that Tim and Adam had this special connection. That they both actually get physically sick if they don't stay connected somehow." Kirstie says. "Maybe he's just trying to keep that from happening."

"Probably. Well, I hate to run but I have to get to the airport." Chris says. "Adam, you behave yourself."

"I will." Adam nods as Chris hugs him bye. 

"Is Patches hea?" Adam asks after Chris had left. (here)

"Yep, he's upstairs taking a bath." She tells him as she takes his coat.

"KIT!! HEP!!!" They hear Patches yell from upstairs. (help)

"Oh, Lord. Wonder what he's done now." Kirstie say, shaking her head causing Adam to giggle. "Come on, Sweetie."

She takes Adam by the hand as they hurry upstairs to the bathroom.

The first thing they see is Satchmo sitting on the floor. He looks around at them as if to say, "I'm innocent."

"Oh No." Kirstie says, seeing bubbles covering the floor.

The large Husky had jumped into the bathtub knocking the bubble bath into the tub. Then proceeded to splash around in the water causing the bubbles to grow.

"Adam, Honey. Look in that small cabinet. There are towels in there that we use for Mack. Can you get me one? Be careful, don't slip down." Kirstie says as she reaches for Mack's collar.

"Ad?" Patches asks as he tries to look out of the mile high bubbles.

Adam giggles and waves as he holds the towel for Kirstie.

"Mack, you're about to get on my last nerve." Kirstie grunted as she tugged at the uncooperating dog.

"Mercy. What's going on in here?" Kevin chuckles. He had been to the grocery store to pick up a few things and had heard the commotion from upstairs. "Saving on water, Kirstie?"

"Oh, shut up and help me." She laughs.

After a lot of work, they finally managed to get Patches, Mack and the bathroom cleaned up.

Kirstie put the movie 'Frozen' in for the boys to watch. They laid on the floor, wrapped up in blankets, eyes glued to the movie.

"Do you wanna build a noman." Adam sings along with the movie. (snowman)

"Naa." Patches says shaking his head. "Mmm bee." (beach)

"Yeah." Adam giggles. "Me too. I hate da no." (the snow)

"Mmm co." Patches nods. (cold)

"Ms. Kit? Do you hab da moobie, Cataway" Adam asks. (have the movie, Castaway)

"Castaway?" Kirstie asks to make sure that was the movie he was talking about.

"Yeah, I like dat moobie. Pus, it's about a beach." Adam nods with a smile. (that movie, plus)

"I can find it." Kirstie says as she begins to flip through the movies.

They ordered pizzas, Kevin and Kirstie joined the boys on the floor to watch the movie as they ate.

"MMMM BEE!!" Patches shouts and claps as he sees Tom Hanks crawl onto the beach after the plane crashed.

"I think Little Bits loves the beach just a little." Kevin chuckles.

"K.. Keb, mmm ub bee." Patches nods with excited eyes and a huge smile. (love beach)

It was beginning to get late as the movie was ending. Patches had lost interest after the castaway was rescued from the beach and had gone to sleep on the floor.

"Adam, Honey, you about ready to go to bed?" Kirstie asks.

"Nooo." Adam whines. "Tim hasn't called yet."

"Is he supposed to call every night?" Kirstie asks.

"Uh huh." Adam nods. "He pwomised to call and wead me a bedtime tory." (promised, read, story)

"Oh, alright. I'm sure he'll call. He's not going to break a promise." Kirstie smiles.

"Well, I'm going to put this one to bed." Kevin says as he scoops Patches up into his arms.

"Good night, Angel." Kirstie whispers as she kisses Patches on the cheek just as her phone begins to ring.

She picks up her phone and looks at the ID: TIM.

"Told you he would keep his promise." She laughs. "Hello?"

"Hey, sorry about calling so late. I was, uh, kinda busy." Tim laughs.

"Totally understandable." Kirstie laughs. "After all, it is your honeymoon. Y'all having a good time?"

"We're having a blast. It's so beautiful down here. And warm" Tim chuckles. "Is Adam still awake?"

"Of course. He didn't want to go to bed without talking to you." Kirstie says as she smiles down at a waiting Adam.

"Yeah, sorry. I tend to forget about the time difference too." Tim says. "He wanted me to call and read him a bedtime story each night if that's alright."

"Of course. No problem. Here's Adam." She says before handing the phone to Adam.

"Hi Tim. I mith you." Adam smiles. (miss)

"I miss you too, Sweetie. Are you being good?" Tim asks as he reaches for the storybook on the nightstand.

"Uh huh. We just watched da moobie Cataway." Adam nods.

"That's a good movie." Tim smiles at the sound of Adam's voice. "You need to go on up to bed, alright. And then I'll read you a story."

"Otay." Adam says, standing up quickly, he leans over kissing Kirstie on the cheek. "Good nigh, Ms. Kit." (Okay, night)

"Good night, Sweetheart." Kirstie says giving him a hug. "I'll be up in a minute to tuck you in."

Adam nods then runs upstairs with the phone.

Kirstie made sure everything was turned off and all the doors were locked before heading upstairs.

She walks into the boys' bedroom and smiles over at Patches sleeping soundly hugging Dag. Mack laid protectively at the foot of the bed.

Adam was lying in the other bed with his security blanket with the phone to his ear. Satchmo lays at his feet.

"Yeah." He giggles. "Dare was bubbles eberwhere." (there, everywhere)

He giggles as he tells Tim about the episode that happened earlier.

"It was so punny." He looks up at Kirstie with sparkling eyes as she tucks him in. (funny)

"You weren't the one that had to clean it up." She smiles down at him.

He laughs but quickly covers his mouth and looks over at Patches.

"Good night." Kirstie says, kissing him on the forehead. "Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Foust." She says into the phone.
