Ford lied restless in bed unable to sleep. The twins were back in California and Stan had died a year ago so Ford was completely alone. Mabel had been trying to set Ford up with lots of girls over the last summer but no relationship ever lasted. Ford was alone. It brought back memories of when he was alone in the portal, the only thing keeping him from giving up was the drive to build the quantum destabilizer. When Bill died Ford felt like a hole was left in his heart. He spent most of his adult life with Bill and was kind of lost without him.
Ford couldn't get Bill out of his mind. Ford knew there was no way he was going to get any sleep tonight so he decided to go for a walk at night. He knew where he was going before he got there. He stopped when he reached it. A stone triangle with one eye wearing a top hat sat halfway buried in the ground. Ford got closer and sat down facing the once dream demon.
"Is it weird that I miss you? I mean you were there most of my adult life, the thing that I tried to get rid of so long, that I don't know what to do without you being their. I wish I could have helped you. I know monsters aren't born, but created. What made you so broke, so twisted, so...so insane? I wish I could have helped heal you."
Ford got up to leave but before he could walk away he heard a little squeak, that came from a bush. Ford went over to the bush and looked in. That's when he saw a small yellow glowing triangle cowering in fear. Ford could tell it was Bill but as a baby. Ford picked the shivering triangle up and held him close calling the tiny triangle to fall asleep. All of a sudden bill was engulfed in light, Ford held him out and closed his eyes because the light was blinding. When he opened his eyes again he say Bill as a human toddler.
"Interesting. I'll take you back to the shack and you can live with me. Would you like that?" Ford asked. Bill just grabbed on to Ford clinging on to him and pulling him close. Ford walked back to the shack carrying the small sleeping boy in his arms. Ford tried to put the boy down on his bed but Bill clung to him like he was his life line, so Ford layed down holding the boy and they both fell asleep.
