Above is a scene from Robert playing the horror Phantom from Phantom of the Opera. That is why he's not home with Heather and Dylan right now.

(1994)

Dylan yawned sitting on the floor. He had his toys scattered around, but his droopy eyes were focused on the cartoon playing on the TV.

"Has he been sleeping?" Jessica asked softly from the kitchen. She was the childs babysitter, she had been since he was one.
Jessie had became like a part of the family over the years. "No." Heather answered looking at her son. "Sounds like you havent either. Will you be alright today?" The girl asked softly. Heather smiled, holding back her own yawn.

"Why isnt he sleeping? Dose he miss Robert?" Jessica asked softly. The film he was shooting was five hours away, so he just decided to stay in a hotel rather than the drive to and from the shoot everyday.

"We both really do- But He's having bad dreams. He won't tell me about them but-." Heather sighed, taking a drink of her coffee. "But what?" Jessica asked softly.

"I think he's having nightmares about you know who- Robert." She said making a face. "Oh." Was all Jessica said.

"I don't let him see the films. I know they'd just scare him. Robert and Wes both say they havent let him see it but-."

"He might have seen a little of it from me." Jessica said in a upset tone. "Why? When?" Heather asked upset. "He was asleep. I knew he was! I put in the first- I got all the way to the ending and he walked into the room. I'm sorry Heather- I turned it off." The woman sighed. "What did he see?" She asked, eyes traveling to her son.

"Just the fight in Nancy's room with Freddy. Mainly the part of you two rolling around with feathers flying. He saw the glove cut her arm but I turned it off before anything eles." Jessie said with a frown.

Heather wasnt talking. Her mind went back to them shooting that. Back to when she just had a crush on the older man.

"Your upset arnt you? I'm fired right?" Heather blinked. "What? No! Jessica, I'm not letting you go just because he- No. Just don't watch it when he's around. Even if he is sleeping- Okay?" Jessica smiled. "Okay."

The tv changed to the emergency news making Dylan upset. "Hey my cartoons!" Both girls went into the living room to see the news man warning about possible earth quakes.

Jessica started petting Dylans hair and the boy soon started drifting off to sleep.

The phone ringing woke him up. Making him jump at the same time that his mother ran to the kitchen. Dylan looked up at Jessica.

"Wanna play with me?" The girl grinned. "Sure." And the two slipped off the couch to play.

Heather answered the phone with a bright smile. "Hello?" She bit her lip when her husband answered. "Hey baby. You guys doing alright?" Heather sighed. "We really miss you."

Dylan looked up from his toys. "Are you talking to Dad? Is that my dad on the phone?" He asked, looking to the blond woman. Jessica smiled at the boy. "I think so Dill." The boys smile grew and he jumped up and ran to the kitchen. Jessica sighed and followed the young boy.

"Yes- I really miss you too." She muttered making a face. Jessie snickered seeing her cheeks heat up.

Robert chuckled from his dressing room. He was  shooting a horror film were he played the phantom of the opera. "How much?" He joked, while getting his make up done.

Heather rolled her eyes. "A lot okay- I can't go into to much with Dylan here." Just as she said her sons name the boy seemed to appear at her legs.
