Tom's POV:

I didn't even bother to knock. I just smashed the door open. "Tord, have you seen Tomee be-" I stopped dead in my tracks at what I saw... Or, at who I saw... Tord was there... He was sitting on the floor, wearing an oversized hoodie and baggy pants. He was hugging Tomee bear close to him as he looked up at me.

"D-daddy? You daddy?" I had no idea what was going on. "T-Tord!?" He looked confused as he hugged the stuffed bear closer. "I..." He wanted to say something. I just stared at him, my 'eyes' wide.

"D-DADDY!" He yelled, grinning at me. I was just kinda standing there, having my 'eyes' glued to the small kid in front of me that was suppose to be Tord. I shook my head. "This can't be real..." I muttered under my breath, rubbing my whole face and hoping to wake up from this strange dream.

When I looked back at him, he stood up. He was holding Tomee in his hand as he came closer to me, smiling excitedly. I backed away, unsure what to do or think. "Tord, what happened to you?" I asked him.

He just giggled as he opened his arms as if he was asking me for a hug. I didn't even move. He, of course, didn't give up. He just ran up to me and I didn't have any time to back away. He wrapped his army around my legs since he was way smaller than me. We were usually the same height.

I looked down at him, shocked about what was happening. I wanted to scream for Edd and Matt to come here, but couldn't. I couldn't even move. He hugged me tighter, making me almost fall. "Daddy, I want uppy!" He yelled.

I tilted my head in confusion. "Uppy? What's 'uppy'?" I asked him, not understanding. "Lift up! I want up!" He said, now letting go of me and jumping. I hesitantly kneeled down and carefully lifted him up.

"Wheee!" He started laughing while I had no idea what was happening. He then wrapped his arms around my neck, still holding Tomee bear, and relaxed a little. I looked down. There was a weird gun just lying there in the middle of the room.

I carefully picked it up, trying not to drop the small Tord, and immediatelly regretted it. As I touched the weird thing, it burned my hand. "Ouch!" I yelped. "Huh? Daddy okay?" I heard Tord ask. Or was it Tord? I didn't know... He didn't seem to remember me. And he kept calling me 'daddy'... Urg. Disgusting.

I sighed. "I'm fine... Let's go show you to Edd and Matt to see what they think about this whole situation, okay?" He giggled. "New friends? Yay!" I almost showed a small smile, but stopped myself.

I left the room with Tord still hugging me tightly and walked downstairs. It was a bit hard since...well, stairs. My arch nemesis... And with Tord in my arms , it was even harder than before. I managed to do it without dropping him or falling down.

I walked into the kitchen where Edd and Matt were still waiting patiently for me to come. Edd looked at me and smiled. "Finally! You're back! And Tord's w-" He cut himself off, staring wide eyed at the small child.

Tord looked at them and gasped. "New friends! New friends! New friends!" He grinned at the two of them as they all just stared at him. I carefully set Tord down and he ran towards Edd. "I Tord! You?" He asked him.

Edd blinked a few times, just to make sure all this was real. Matt had the same reaction. He kinda looked scared. Tord kept smiling at them innocently. "I-I'm Edd..." Edd answerwed his question after he realized this was reality.

Tord laughed. "Funny name! I like you!" Tord started jumping and running in circles around Edd and Matt as he kept screaming in happiness. Edd looked at me as Matt focused on the red clan male.

"Tom... What did you do to him..?" He asked me. "I did nothing! When I came into his room, he was like this! There was only a weird gun on the floor that was actually burning. Somebody fired from it not so long ago." I said everything I knew when I heard Matt gasp.

We looked at him to see him kneeling down next to Tord as Tord was poking his face. "You beautiful!" Tord said. Matt smiled, tears forming in his eyes. He hugged Tord tightly. "Thank you, little one!"

Tord hugged him back. "Uppy! Uppy!" Matt, unlike me, understood what he meant and lifted him up. "Aww, you're so cute!" "I Tord! You?" "Matt! The one and handsome Matt!" I couldn't help but smile. And so did Edd. This scene was just too cute to stop myself.

Matt looked at both of us, his eyes sparkling. "Can we keep him? Pretty please!" Edd chuckled and rolled his eyes playfully. "Of course we can." "Yay!" Tord started laughing as I crossed my arms, my smile fading by each second.

"But...what made Tord like this? And can we turn him back?" Edd shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows. But why would you want to turn him back? I mean, yeah, I like Tord as a friend, but I LOVE kids!" He said. I groaned. "I'm not really a fan of them. They're annoying and loud."

Tord looked at me when he stopped laughing. His eyes started watering. "You... You no like me..?" He asked. I didn't answer when he started sobbing. Matt hugged him tighter as Tord started crying. 'Did I do something wrong?' I asked myself.

Edd glared at me and joined Matt at comforting the little Tord. "That wasn't very nice of you, Tom! Apologize, now!" Matt commanded, glaring at me. I was about to complain when Tord started crying even more. The sounds were already getting on my nerves. I rolled my non-existent 'eyes'.

"Sorry.." I apolozized to him. Tord calmed down a little, but was still sobbing. He reached his little arms for me, Tomee bear still in his grasp. I didn't know, what else he wanted! "H-huggle?" He asked. I groaned and came closer to him.

I hugged him carefully when Matt handed him to me. Tord wrapped his armas around my neck and soon, we all heard soft snores coming from him. "Well, Tom, we should get him a room. But since I don't think it's a good idea to leave him alone in his room, he's going to stay with you." Edd said.

"Okay the-wait, what!?"
