(N) What was the dream about? Are you ok telling me, was Torrin ok?
(K) He woke me up softly crying and then when I held him, he started sobbing.
(N) What was the dream about?
(K) Torrin had a dream that papa decided not to marry you and he left.
(N) I see.
(K) It was because of that bully at school.
(N) Did you kick his ass.

(N) Good, do not tell papa. I will speak with Torrin.
(K) Ok, I think he needs to speak with you.
(N) I am going to speak with him.
(K) Thank you.
(N) Are you ok?
(K) I am good. I told him papa was not going anywhere. He loves you and now that he is comfotable with doing stuff I think you two will be even closer.
(N) I think so too.
(K) Are you excited he is opening up more.
(N) I am.
(K) Can I ask you for a favor?
(N) You can.
(K) Can you find out who hurt him?
(N) I am working on that.
(K) Good, I want to beat the shit out of him too.
(N) Me too.
(K) Ok, can we go check on Torrin now?
(N) We can come on.
Nico and Kaden get up and make their way to the kitchen. Torrin is not in there. They check the bathroom, and he is not in there. They walk to Nico's room and push the door open. They look on the bed and Torrin has gotten up on the bed and cuddled with Mack. Mack has his arms over him, and they are both sleeping. Nico and Kaden smile and then Nico gets uncomfortable. Torrin took his shirt off and he is afraid Mack is going to be upset. Kaden realizes it at the same time, and they walk over and try to pry Torrin away from Mack. Mack is not asleep he just has his eyes closed and his mask on. He pops Nico's hand, and he takes his mask off.
(M) Five more minutes won't hurt.
(N) Baby, he does not have a shirt on.
(M) Yeah, I know he asked to slide it off. He said you let them cuddle into your chest all the time. I was ok with it. You two need to calm down.
(K) You let him?
(M) I did baby.
(K) I get to do it soon right?
(M) You do.
(N) Ok, we will give you five minutes. We can start breakfast.
(M) Thank you.
Nico and Kaden walk out of the room and they close the door. Torrin's eyes come open and he stares at Mack. Mack plays with his hair and they go back to talking.
(M) Ok, can we talk about the dream now?
(T) A boy at my school said you were going to leave dad. I had a dream that we woke up and you decided to leave. I was upset.
(M) I promise that is not going to happen. If your dad did break up with me or we decided to split up I would still fight to see you both. We also agreed to stay best friends. However, I love your daddy, your brother, and you. I promise I am not going anywhere.
