"He's wanting to keep him. He is convinced it's a boy. Can you take one?" Mary asked her brother, but Danny giggled at Christopher. He like the lap the wheel chair made and liked Christopher. "I'll...take him." Christopher said and she eased Danny down in his lap. He giggled and Christopher patted Danny on the head. "Harry is at the hospital wing thing with Draco and Willow. Harry's gonna take us shopping tomorrow! Says it's like his payment for watching the babies so much and when I tried to say anything he just shot me down." Mary said. "You know your dying to get a new dress." Zachary said, lending over and giving Ruth a pat on her head. She giggled, but took a tighter hold of Mary's shirt. "Maybe so, But it's okay. He doesn't have to. Things happen. I like the babies." Mary pointed out. "How do you know that's what Thomas wants to do? He gets so...iffy when it comes to the baby." Zachary pointed out and Mary let out a sigh. "Because...He's going threw a lot just to keep him. Even the doctors recommended he terminate because of problems...But he won't. Harry can't override it, unless his life becomes in danger. They don't believe that will be the case, but it won't at all be an easy pregnancy. Why go through all that, and not keep your baby?" Mary said and Zachary let out a sigh. He agreed. "Do you know anything about this Tammy girl?" Zachary asked. "Not really." Mary said, taking the phone form her brother, and looking threw it. "Just ask him when he wakes up? He might tell you." Mary pointed out. "Why me?" Zachary said. "Because your the one he wants. You are, rather you believe it or not. He fucked up. You both know this. He's doing his best to try and apologize, but he does want and need you, Zachary." Mary said and Zachary let out a sigh. "Alright. Alright." Zachary said.

When Thomas shot up on that air bed, another bad dream, and caught his breath. He seen it was late. Mary was on the air bed beside him. He let out a sigh, and pulled the blanket up over his sister, who really should learn to dress for bed, before getting slowly to his feet. He walked to the window. It was very late, a starless night. It didn't make him fell any better. He turned to face the bed.
Christopher had talked Zachary into laying with him on the bed, who worked himself up on his side. His legs a little messaged up form in his half asleep state, didn't brother to fix them. He couldn't feel them, anyway. Thomas just slowly put his ankles together so at least they were even. Zachary was up beside him, pretty close, leaving room behind him. He wanted his brother.

"Tommy!" Zachary ended up whinny a couple hours later. Thomas had another nightmare and kicked. Kicked his brother hard on the leg. "Thomas wake up." Zachary whined, giving his brother a shake. "...no...stop!" Thomas mumbled, not awake up. "Slap his neck." Christopher half yawned, also being woken up form Thomas nightmare. A couple slaps to Thomas neck, woke him up. He shot up, backing himself against the head board. "Tommy, relax." Zachary said, easing up to sit beside Tommy at the head of the bed. He just started to cry and Zachary pulled him close. "Please calm down."

"Harry?" Zachary called for, walking into the hospital wing a couple hours later. Thomas agreed to stay with Christopher and his sister. Zachary didn't tell anybody he planned to come talk to Harry. "Zach. I though we talked about you not leaving by yourself." Harry said, coming down the hallway. "Outside of the base. It's about Tommy." Zachary said. "Is he hurting again?" Harry asked and Zachary shook his head. "His nightmares...they are getting worst and it's every time he goes to sleep. What isn't he telling me?" Zachary said and Harry shrugged his shoulders. "I couldn't say, Zach. Your brother is emancipated. By the eyes of the law, he is an adult. I can't be told. Not until..." Harry sigh. "Until it's to late to fix him! You have to...do something, Please!" Zachary whined.  "Zachary, unfortunately...I can't. You and Mary are better off with trying to talk to your brother. There isn't much I can do, I am sorry." Harry replied and Zachary looked down between his feet. "Harry, please!" He mumbled and Harry let out a sigh. "Tomorrow, okay? Willow should be home by then, I don't want to leave her. One more day isn't going to make a difference, if he isn't hurting." Harry said and Zachary slowly nodded.

"I don't want to talk..." Thomas mumbled the next day. "Thomas, your brother is very worried about you. He knows your hiding more then him or Mary knows." Harry pointed out, putting his leg to rest on the coffee table. "He doesn't need to know everything about what happened to me..." Thomas mumbled. "Maybe not then, but Thomas...Your nightmare are causing a problem and they know this pregnancy is difficult on you. They question why you are going threw it with." Harry said. "I told you why. I didn't go threw everything and then be told this is likely my only pregnancy because of what happened to me, and the fact I can't get anybody pregnant because of what happened when I was younger. I'll be damned if I don't keep my only kid. My son...Or daughter, but I know it's a boy." Thomas said and Harry nodded. "I know all this, but your brother and sister don't. It's becoming stressful of Zachary to see you in such a way, Thomas. Maybe talking about it will help." Harry said. "I'm not taking to them about what happened. Zachary knows enough because he try to help, he doesn't need to get hurt again." Thomas pointed out.
