Haha! Fooled ya! New POV!
*****Helens POV********
I woke up to Joel practically hacking up his lungs. He finally sat up and started for the Kitchen. I shot up to follow him, but realized his walk was off. He wasn't shuffling like he was before. He was walking like.......Joel!
I got up and followed him, watching his every move. He was heading straight for the medicine cabinet. I rushed toward him, grabbing his shoulder. He turned to look at me with a look of worry.
"Mom? What are you doing here?!" He asked.
"How old are you?"
"Are you serious right now?"
"Just answer the question." I demanded.
"32........." He said unsure.
"Oh thank God!" I said, throwing myself in his arms. He hugged me back, but still was pretty unsure about what was going on.
"Mom, what's wrong? I just wanted to get some cough syrup."
"I know, I know. It's just, you were like three years old for a week! Poor Courtney, she was playing the role of "mother" for all of you!"
"All of us? You mean......."
"Yep! Luke isn't calm unless he's watching Veggietales and Moriah MUST have her Elsa doll with her at all times. It's been a nuthouse for the past week!"
"Where are they all now?" Joel asked.
"Well, everyone's here, we thought it would be easier just to all camp out here instead of lugging a bunch of 'toddlers' around the city trying to get to different houses. Moriah is in your guy's room with Courtney. Jude, and Phoenix are camping out in Sydney's room, and You and Luke are in the guest bedroom with your dad and I."
"Wow! Are they ok? I mean, what happened to have us become that age?"
"We don't know. All I know is Courtney called us on Tuesday Morning begging for help. Apparently, Sydney used your phone to call her asking for food."
"And where was Moriah and I?" He asked, with kind of a scared look.
" You and Moriah were in Sydney's playroom, fighting over her stuffed penguin!" I said with a laugh. Joel rolled his eyes. He looked at his watch.
"It's 4:30 am. I remember telling her I would make her chocolate chip pancakes before....TOUR! What about tour?! We are SO late!" He said smacking himself in the face.
"Don't worry about that. Your brother, the one who isn't three years old, has that under control." I smiled.
"I'm halfway tempted to go wake up Sydney and take her to go get Chocolate chip pancakes. Or should I just let her sleep?"
"Now that's up to you. I know she has missed you and Moriah." Just then, we heard a snore. It came from the couch. Joel and I slowly walked over to the couch, and saw Courtney, Moriah, and Sydney all cuddled up and sleeping on the couch. Moriah was the one who was snoring, and before I knew what I was doing, I whipped out my phone and started videotaping her snoring in her princess nightgown. It took everything in us to keep from laughing to hard. "I'm gonna take her. I need to make things right." Joel said.
He went over to the other side of the couch, gently shaking Sydney. I patted Joel on the shoulder as I headed back to bed. I'm glad I have my son back. One down, two to go!

******Joel's POV******
I gently shook Sydney, carefully as to not wake the other two. My theory proved to be a bad one when Courtney began to stir and wake up. She looked up at me, rubbed her eyes, looked at me again, and rubbed her eyes again.
"Joel? Is that you?" She asked softly.
"Yes, and I'm not three years old as I've been told I used to be, I'm 32 again."
"Where are you going at 4:45 am?" She questioned.
"I owe this little bean pancakes." She stifled a laugh, before nodding and attempting to get Moriah back to the bedroom. Finally, Sydney decided to wake up a bit.
"Dol? What awe you dowing? I want to keep sweeping." She said, rolling over to go back to sleep.
"No, baby. It's daddy." I said softly. She immediately rolled back o we and sat up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at me with wide eyes. "Weally? Is it weally you?"
"Yes, sweetheart! Now, don't I owe someone chocolate chip pancakes?"
She nodded excitedly. She hopped up and ran into the Kitchen. "Woah, cupcake, I thought we'd go out to get some pancakes. You want to go to IHOP?" She nodded again, and this time ran to get one of her many purses. We hopped in the van, and headed to go get pancakes.
And Sydney sang the whole way.
