 Theodore was making his rounds for the hour at work. Security wasn't as needed at the building as most people thought. Nothing ever happened. At least not in the middle of the night. He'd been asleep, dead to the world, when Anna got home with Liam, and by the time he had to go to work Anna was making sure everything was set so Liam could try and get some sleep.

Theodore's phone rang, making him jump. No one called him. Not that late at night. Not unless there was an emergency. Anna's name popped up on his caller ID.

"What's up Bee?"

"Sometimes I can't bee-lieve you still call me that. Liam's asleep. I'm worried about him. I think he needs to see a doctor."

"Why? Because he hasn't been sleeping well?"

"Not just that. He's been tossing and turning and there are times at night when I wake up and he stays in what sleep he gets, but when I cuddle up to him again he stirs and starts mumbling about... About you know who. And when he does that I squeeze him, to remind him that I'm there by his side. And his eyes..."

Theodore nodded, "His eyes are still the colorless, blank expression then? Give him time, Bee. Let him recuperate. If you went through what he had you'd need time too."

"I did go through what he did. At least most of it. I'll give him time, but please, help me keep an eye on him?"

"Will do. We'll see what happens."
