When Vinny reached the hospital, she couldn't see the boys, only a shaken and ashamed Dave shivering in a large armchair. She walked across the large white room of the Accident and Emergency Unit, minding the people in wheelchairs. As she reached Dave, he had some tears in his eyes.

"Now, in full detail, tell me what happened." Vinny said, sitting in the chair next to him. Dave sighed and began.

"It was nine o'clock in the morning, the boys were exited for you coming, and said they needed to get acorns to make an acorn broth. So, I decided to go to the store and buy some." At this, Vinny interrupted by saying

"Dave, I understand the boys have lived in the human world, but their NOT human. Do you have any idea what the human food does to their internal system? It's not built for them. You should at least give them some chipmunk food." Dave ignored her comments and continued.

"While I was away, the house was burgled. The boys tried to fight them but the two burglars threw them from the stairs and took away with my jewel interested cuff links."

Vinny's heart immediately went out for Dave. She hugged him. He accepted the sweet, yet difficult hug.

"Oh, Dave, I'm so sorry, the first time you leave them alone and this happens." Dave looked slightly confused.

"I always leave them alone. When I was planning a concert with my music teacher, when our motor home broke down in the middle of nowhere, when I went to New York,"

"New York!" Vinny cried. She didn't know where New York was, but she knew it was very far away.

Just then, a doctor came up to them. He looked to Dave, and to Vinny.

"Madame, could you leave please? You obviously have no emergency, and I need to talk to Mr Seville on the condition of his sons." Vinny was far beyond angry.

"I am the boys mother!" She cried. The doctor looked immediately sorry.

"The boys are this way, however they are asleep. Alvin has a badly broken leg, Simon a broken arm, and poor Theodore has broken three ribs. They'll have to stay in over night. I'm so sorry. For the scene moments ago also, err, Mrs, err Seville. He walked off. Vinny cringed at the idea of marrying a human.

The boys were in a three bed room. They were quite bruised, and had bandages over their broken limbs. Vinny placed their presents on the table in the corner. She went up to Dave.

"I'm sorry Dave." Dave again looked confused.

"You obviously love the boys very much. I wanted to prove to you that I could be a good mother who could provide for her children. But this, I read it in one of the parent books you gave me. This, is called negligence. You always leave them alone. God knows what could happen when their in the city. I'm sorry Dave, but I have to before something really bad happens." She couldn't look him in the eye.

"What are you saying Vinny?"

"I want my babies back." She looked deep into his eyes.

"For good."
