What's wrong?

"Chris, do you want to go and play with Elizabeth and Charlie?" Clara asks her youngest son.

Chris starts to write in a notebook that he carries with him every time they go out. After he finishes he shows his mother what he wrote down.

'Yes but I'm shy in front of Charlie.'

"Oh honey, there's no need to be shy-" Clara starts off but then Elizabeth accidentally cuts her off.

"Come on Chris! Let's go play with Charlie!" Elizabeth says cheerfully while taking her brother by the hand.

Clara smiles at them as they walk off, then sighs.

"What's wrong Clara?" Katherine, Clara's friend asks.

"Oh it's nothing, I was just thinking how hard it is for me to communicate with Chris, without him writing his thoughts down."

"Well I mean, it's hard for everyone, so there's no need to worry if you can't understand him." Katherine says in a comforting way.

"Yeah, you're right. Let's change the subject then."

After an hour of a nice and a funny conversation, Charlie comes rushing in.

"Chris is crying!" She shouts out worried.

Clara and Katherine go into the other room to see Elizabeth trying to calm Chris down.

"What happened honey?!" Clara asks worried

"I've tried to get him to write it down, but his hands are shaking too much!" Elizabeth says.

"I guess he just isn't in the mental state to do it." Katherine says, sighing.

"Hey Chris, what if I give you some hot chocolate? Will you stop crying then?" Katherine asks in a sweet voice.

Chris just has more tears pour out of him.

"What do we do?!" Charlie asks Clara really frantically.

Clara tries to keep herself composed while thinking of ways to understand Chris so she can know what's wrong. However, she can't think of any way unless he writes it down.

"Oh I don't know!" She says nearly breaking into tears herself since she can't help her child.

The doorbell rang, Katherine sighs.

"I'll go get it." She says as she heads off to the front door.

When she opens the door, she sees Henry, William and Micheal. They all have shopping bags in their hands.

"We're back hun!" Henry says sweetly to his wife.

"Welcome back, and William, please help us. Your son is crying an we can't get him to stop!" Katherine says sounding a bit tired.

"What?!" William quickly enters and leaves the bags on a couch.

Soon after Henry goes in then Micheal.

"I'm surprised Micheal actually helped out." Katherine says quietly to her husband so Micheal wouldn't hear.

"Yes well, he was dragged along with us and William said he'd be grounded if he didn't help."

Katherine giggled.

"Yeah, that makes sense. Hope he didn't give you too much trouble with his bad attitude."

"Nah, I could handle myself." Henry said in a joking way.

Micheal went to their kitchen and placed the bags onto a counter, and William finally found the others in a room.

"Is everything alright?!" He asked his wife.

Clara shook her head.

"He can't write down what's wrong!" Charlie said.

William went over to Chris, and tried to help Clara to calm him down. Elizabeth just looked bored at this point, she couldn't play with either of them anymore so she decided to look for her older brother.

She eventually found him in the kitchen.

"Hey Micheal! Can you play with me?"

Micheal looked annoyed, he just wanted to go on his phone after being forced to help out.

"Join the others with helping Chris, though I think one person is enough."

"Nope! Not even 20 people can help!"

"What do you mean?"

"We've tried to get him to write what his problem is, but he just can't!"

"Why would you need him to write it down?"

"How else are we supposed to understand him?!"

"His hand movements, obviously."

"What hand movements?"

Micheal just got more annoyed at this point.

"Nevermind, just go and do something else."

"But I can't play with Charlie and Chris!"

"Ok fine! If you can play with them, will you stop bugging me?!"

"Yes!"

Micheal groaned.

"Ok, where are they?"

"Over there!"

Elizabeth lead her older brother into the room where 2 parents and children were. Chris noticed Micheal entering the room.

Chris: (Micheal!)

"What are you doing with your hands?" Charlie questioned with curiosity.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"No one said anything." Elizabeth says, confused why his brother is asking that question.

Chris: (My stomach hurts a lot!)

Micheal started to walk up to Chris, until his father stopped him.

"We don't need him feeling worse." He said coldly.

Clara was usually a positive thinker, but even she had agree with William this time.

Chris looked like he was almost devastated, his stomach was hurting really bad, and be needed someone to know.

"Wow, Chris was actually right, you guys can't understand him. I thought you were joking about that."

Chris shook his head at his brother.

"Sorry sweetie, but I think it's best you stay away from Chris this time, your um, personality just isn't the best fit to deal with Chris." Clara tried to put it as nice as possible.

"Ok, how about this, Chris, nod your head if you want me to check your stomach."

"What kind of question is that?!" William said.

But to everyone's surprise, Chris nodded his head. Micheal went around his father then crouched down to Chris.

"Is it a stomach ache or a physical wound?"

Chris: (I tripped and fell onto a blunt corner, so I think it's physical.)

Micheal rolled up his shirt, to reveal a huge bruise.

"That's really big!" Charlie said.

People all of a sudden had looks of shock on their faces when Micheal picked up Chris.

"Let's put an ice pack on it." He said in a gentle and calm voice so his brother knows that everything will be alright.

He left the room with Chris in his arms.

"Wow Elizabeth! You didn't tell me Micheal could understand Chris really well!" Charlie said.

"I didn't know he could either! He better tells me how he dies it, then playing with him will be a lot more fun!"

William and Clara just looked amazed.

"See? It's always good to have faith."

"So long as he keeps it up." William said, doubting he will.
