Aiden and the bad guys arrives in front of Nicole's house.
"I haven't been to Nicky's since the funeral. Am I ready?"
"Well you have our full support for this" wolf pats his back.
"What if everything doesn't go well" Aiden asked.
"What can happen?" Webs asked.
At Jacks' last birthday, Lena sang off-key Happy Birthday. Full throttle, no-holds barred. Now -- I'm afraid of the silence. Aiden heads to Nicky's yard.
"Just take deep breath man, relax alright, what's the worst that can happen" wolf says as he encourages him.
"Okay...Here goes" Aiden sees Nicky and Jackson at the table.
"How old are you today?"
"Ten"
"No...I think you're nine"
"I'm ten !"
"Hummm...nine"
"Ten !"
"Nine"
"Ten !"
"Well in that case you deserve 10 birthday tickles"
Nicole gets behind her son and tickles him, counting to ten. Jackson tells her to stop, laughing.
"Ten" She notices Aiden.
"Stay here for a second"
Nicole approaches her brother. Aiden waves at Jackson, who does the same.
"So an entire year and --"
"Late. Yeah I'm sorry Nik. Really"
"Come here" Both hug.
"Let's have a look at you. You look older"
"Ah nice, thanks for that" He pushes her. Nicole briefly stares at her son.
"It's his first birthday without Lena"
"How's he doing ?"
"Still doesn't talk to anybody but me. Yolanda says it's his way to maintain some sort of control"
"Yolanda ?"
"His therapist. She's helping him. It's good. Just slow"
"It's hard but we're gonna get through it"
"Uh-hum. Jacks !"
Jackson walks to Aiden, with two of his games in the hands.
"Hey ! Sorry I'm late. Can I -- Can I get a hug ?"
Jackson hugs Aiden Aiden Pearce, "Wow ! You are...big !" Jackson smiles.
"So hey, what do you got here" Jackson gives Aiden a Glitch Wars box.
"Wow ! The Healer. Cool You bought him a real toy, huh"
"Why don't you bring up your toys ? I'm gonna speak with your uncle" Aiden gives Jackson his toy back.
"Yeah, I'll be, I'll be up there in a sec" Jackson enters the house.
"This matters. You being here. I need to make sure things are different"
"Things are different. You and Jacks, are the most important people in my life" Aiden walks with her.
"I'm not going to stop watching out for you"
"Always the big brother, huh ?"
She smiles and pushes him, and enters the house. Aiden follows her.
"Last time I was back there, it was Lena's birthday. Jackson adored her. We all did"
