"Hey Carly, we're heading out. Mind looking after Lia for a couple hours?" Matt called out as he got his jacket on. Lia came running to them, hugging Matt's legs.

The 1 year old reached her arms up wanting Matt to pick her up. Matt picked her up, placing her on his left hip. "Hey baby girl." Matt said to Lia. Nate came downstairs and kissed the 1 year olds head. "Let me get Cloud ready and we'll be on our way." Nate said and called cloud over. He get clouds harness on her and Matt placed Lia down. Carly came down and held Lia's hand. "Alright. We're heading out." Nate said and grabbed his car keys. "Have fun!" Carly said. "Uh one rule is that make sure Lia goes for a nap at 2. Wake her up at 3 sense it's 12pm." Matt said hurriedly. "Got it." Carly said. Once cloud was out the door, they were on their way.

They got to the place where they are going out for lunch. "Alrighty cloud. Come." Nate said as he opened the back door. Cloud got out and Nate placed the bag on his back. They walked into the place. Cloud following closely beside Nate. "I can help who's ever next." the lady said at the other register. "Hello. How are you guys?" she asked. "Good. How are you?" Nate asked the girl. "I'm good thanks. What can I get for you boys today?" Matt ordered as he snaked an arm around Nates waist. "Is that all for you guys today?" she asked. "Yep. That's it." "Ok. Your total is $20.45. Gorgeous dog!" The lady said. "Oh...thank you." Nate said. "No problem." she said as Matt payed for their food. "Your order number is 204. I'll call your number when it's done so we can get you guys your food." The girl said. She gave Nate the receipt who dropped it. "That's weird.." Nate said as cloud picked it up and gave it to Nate again. But dropped it. "Babe...are you ok?" Matt asked as he picked up the receipt. "Uh...yeah. Yeah I'm ok." Nate said and they went to a booth. Cloud layed on the floor. "What's going on with your hand. You dropped that thing twice. Can you feel your hand?" Matt asked. "Yeah. I can feel my hand. It's fine. I'm confused." "We should go to the doctors when we get done. Ok?" Nate nodded. "I never had this happen before." "Could it be from your medicine? Maybe it's a side effect." Matt theorized. "I don't know. Let's not rush to conclusions." Nate said. Cloud looking at Nate. "Babe. What's wrong?" Matt asked. Nate looked at him, his eyes full with tears. "Nothing. Nothing at all." Nate said as he wiped the tears away and smiled. "Just thinking." he added. "Ok. Are you sure?" Nate nodded then their number was called. Matt got up and got the tray before going back to the booth. "Thanks." Matt nodded and they started eating. Nate dropped his food at least 40 times. "Nate. What's going on? I'm concerned." Matt told Nate as he was super concerned. "I don't know. Matt. I'm scared.." Nate said, wiping his hands on a napkin. "Ok. Let's go. I'll pay and get Cloud ready. We're going to the doctors!" Nate nodded as they got up. "I'll be in the car. It's cold out." Matt chucked and kissed Nate on the cheek. Nate grabbed Clouds handle after getting the bag and he went to the car. After a few minutes Matt came back and Nate looked at him. "You ok?" Matt asked and Nate nodded, wiping the tears falling on his cheeks. "Hey...we're going to get this situated." Matt said, holding Nates hand as he started driving. "Deep breaths Nate. Your getting worked up." Matt said and he looked out the window and took some deep breaths. "Good." Matt said, rubbing Nates hand with his thumb. They finally got to the urgent care and they got out and Cloud got out from the front seat and trotted beside Nate and they went inside. "Hello!" The man said at the front desk as they went to the window. "Hey. How are you?" Matt asked the guy. "I'm good. What brings you in today?" he asked. "I cant seem to hold things with my right hand." Nate said. The man nodded and looked at Cloud. "Cute dog." The man said. "Thanks." "What's her name?" "Cloud." Nate said. "That's a good name. She looks like a cloud. Husky I presume?" "yeah she is." "uh, anyway, can I get your name?" "Nathan Smith." The man typed that into his computer. After getting some more information, they were asked to sit down and so they did. Cloud layed her head on Nates legs as they waited.
