I'm So Glad I Found You : Quintis Fic

He's Awake!!

Chapter 33

Happy and Toby slept for the rest of the day, and night. They were really tired from the long hours of the case. They had barely gotten any sleep for the past week, and they still had to go into work tomorrow, because of their idiot boss, that didn't have to experience any of it, because of his stupid injury.
Not to mention how stressed both Toby and Happy were after the encounter with Amy, and the new discovery they had made earlier that afternoon. Other than that though, they really enjoyed today. Seeing Sage again, and eating out for breakfast, like they used to always do.

Sage, on the other hand, stayed up almost all night, keeping to herself, and watching a bit of TV, while she drew happily on the couch. The past week had been fun, hanging out with the boys and Walter, but she did like being back in her own home, with her parents just a room away.

She eventually got kind of tired, but couldn't go back to sleep. She was still really shook up from the dream she had the previous night, about Happy. Even though Happy and Toby were both home safe, and she trusted them more than she's ever trusted anyone before.

So she sighed, and threw the covers off her, and tiptoed into the master bedroom, where the other two residents were sleeping happily.

She climbed in from the foot of the bed, and snuggled up against Happy's back, sandwiching her between herself and Toby, and slept better than she had for a long time.

The Dineen-O'brien household...

Everyone in the home was up and moving around 8 in the morning. Walter had told the team that they didn't have to come in until 11 or 12, because of the last case. He could tell by the way Paige had moped around when they got home, that she was really exhausted. And if she was exhausted, it was almost a guarantee that the rest of the team was just as exhausted, maybe even more.
So he had sent her to bed very early, promising to pick up a little around the house, and making dinner for himself and Ralph, who spent most of the day playing videogames, while Walter cared to Paige, and sometimes joining him for a race or two.

That morning, Walter was sitting in his seat at the table, with his foot propped up on the chair beside him.

Ralph and him were discussing the new IQ test Walter had recently finished. Helping him clean up the little quirks that might make the results slightly inaccurate.

Paige was cooking breakfast. Eggs and bacon. Wide awake and cheery, as she bounced around the kitchen.

She set the plateful of bacon on the table, and Walter and Ralph grabbed a handful, and started chewing on their delicious piece of bacon.

Paige smirked, and grabbed her own piece, before going back into the kitchen to grab the eggs.

2 hours later...

Paige drove them all to the garage, since Walter couldn't drive with his broken leg and foot. Which was his fault for being so reckless, a few cases ago.

Getting him in and out of the car was a bit of a struggle, without having Cabe or Toby to help support his weight.

Eventually they were able to make it to the door of the garage, Paige and Ralph walking behind him, making sure he didn't fall on his face. As soon as the door swung open, they could hear a radio blasting music from the back of the garage.

Walter limped in, using his crutch. Looking over at Happy's station, and then at Toby's station.

Nobody was there yet, and yet loud music was playing, definitely in the garage. And the only one that ever blasted music in the garage was Toby, but only when nobody was around, but only to avoid getting punched or yelled at.
