Zach landed the jet in the garage and shut the roof. He had a hard time explaining to Junior why they had to leave early. He couldn't tell him the truth, so he told him that they had an emergency mission and would be back when they could.

He gathered up their things and left the jet with Junior following behind him. Carrying his new puppy, Zach felt so guilty that he had gotten him a husky puppy they had seen in a pet store at a stop they had made.

Zach entered the door and gave the bags to a Zach bot to bring up to their rooms. "Papa!" Junior exclaimed, making Zach spin around to face the Kratt brothers standing in the entryway to the kitchen.

"Junior got to your room," Zach said, and Junior pouted but listened.

Zach glared at Chris and moved past the man going into the kitchen. "What are you doing here, Kratt?" He hissed, not wanting to yell in case Junior was listening.

"I came to talk," Chris said, following him.

"I won't let you take my son, Chris." Zach exclaimed loudly, "He's everything I got; you can't have him. You can try taking me to court but I won't let you win," He said, tears were rolling down his cheeks now and Chris was taken back he'd never seen Zach cry. EVER.

"Dad," a small voice called, and Zach quickly wiped his tears and turned to Junior.

"Hey, bud, what are you doing back down here?" Zach asked, going over and picking him up.

"I'm hungry," Junior replied, and Zach looked up at the clock. Seeing it was five minutes after dinner, Zach sat Junior on top of the counter.

"What do you want to eat?" Zach asked, looking through the cupboards to see that they were filled.

"I came two days ago and saw that your cupboards were empty. So I bought some food," Chris said, and Zach sighed.

"Can I have mac and cheese?" Junior asked, pointing to the box of Avengers-shaped mac and cheese.

"Sure," he said, taking down the box. He removed a pot and placed it on the stove. He filled it with water and lit the stove.

He made dinner and enough for the three of them. He shared the food, and they all sat at the table and ate.

"Is Papa staying with us now?" Junior asked, and Zach froze, his fork halfway to his mouth.

"I...erm..." Zach stuttered.

"Of course I am," Chris answered, and Zach glared at him.

Junior cheered, and Zach sighed, resigning to his fate.
