Gar glared at himself in the mirror and groaned.

"Rae why do I have to wear this stupid thing?" He asked looking at the sweater vest he had put on.

"Because Tim asked us to dress nice but casual. He recommended this look for you." She said as she brushed her hair.

"Can't I wear something...less itchy and ridiculous looking?" he asked. "I mean come on babe this is plaid. You know its not my style."

"I should inform you that he was actually wanting you to wear your holoring so you could pass off as human normal."

Gar raised his eyebrow and sighed.

"And let me guess. This is a sign that the boy adores me and isn't ashamed of me."

"He's not ashamed of you." Raven said softly as she stepped out of the bathroom. "Gar please trust me. Tim respects and cares about you. He just has a very hard time expressing his feelings. You know this."

She walked up to him and rubbed his arm.

"Yeah," Gar said softly. "I know...I just...I wish I could...I just want to be there for him...and he actually wanted me to be there..." Gar looked down sadly.

Raven gently lifted his chin so their eyes would meet. "Your a great father. Just relax. Okay?" she said as she gently kissed his lips.

Gar smiled a crooked smile.

"Thanks Rae." he said as he hugged her. "Can I ask you something sweetie?" he asked.

"Sure Ga-AH!" She stilled as she felt her husband's hand wonder.

"How come you get to dress all nice and pretty when I have to dress up like 'Leave it to Beaver's' dad?" He asked with a chuckle.

Raven looked up at him with a stern look.

Gar slowly removed his hand.

"You know after being married to you for years and you giving birth to two kids, one would think that you'd get used to my little gestures of love." He chuckled nervously.

"MOM!" shouted a young voice.

"Saved by the bell." said a relieved Gar.

As Raven and Gar looked towards their door, their youngest Gar Jr. and Rachel walked in appearing to be having another one of their daily fights.

"Mom! Rachel replaced my hair gel with toothpaste!" shouted the young empath.

"I did not! I was only trying to help you get ready! It's not my fault you can't tell the difference between toothpaste and your cheap hair gel!"

"You switched the labels on purpose you little brat!"

"Oh there you go again! Just cause you were born three seconds before me you think you can boss me around and call me names!"

Raven and Gar rubbed their foreheads in annoyance.

"Jr., Rachel. Can't you just postpone this fight to after the dinner?" asked Raven. "We really don't have time for this. Your brothers and sister will be here any minute."

Junior glared at his sister fuming with anger but then nodded and quietly left the room.

Rachel scoffed and folded her arms as Raven went downstairs to make sure everything was prepared. Gar knelt beside the young girl.

"Princess...you really shouldn't pull pranks like that on your brother." he said softly.

"I was just having a little fun. No one got hurt." she said innocently to her father.

"I know sweetie. But you have to understand from his point of view." Gar sat her beside him. "Your brother, wether he admits it or not, is very emotional. He's sensitive to things like that. What you think was an innocent prank actually hurt him really bad."

"But its not my fault he's colorblind." she protested.

"It's no ones fault."

"Then why doesn't he just put his stuff in different shaped bottles?"

"Rachel you know why. He wants to feel like everyone else." Gar explained. "Imagine if you were colorblind. Would you want to be treated or feel differently because you couldn't see certain things clearly?"

Rachel thought for a moment. "No..." She said softly as she looked up at him. "I didn't mean to- I mean...it was just supposed to be a joke."

Gar smiled and hugged her gently. "Try to find a way to apologize to him princess. Then he wont be so cross with you over this. Trust me. I know from experience. The longer you wait to apologize the longer he'll be mad at you."

"Okay daddy." she said. "I guess I'll try to think of something."

"Thats my girl." Gar smiled and laid back on his bed happily closing his eyes and thinking to himself. 'You done good again Logan. You done good.'

"But you know I really don't get it why he'd want to get extra fancy for Timmy's girlfriend. It's not like she's going to start dating him or something. I mean since she's going to tell Timmy 'Yes' and all."

Gar's eyes snapped open wide and he jumped up quickly.

"What was that?!" he asked loudly.

Rachel looked to him. "What was what?"

"What you just said. Something bout Tim's girlfriend saying 'Yes'! "

Rachel's eyes got big once she realized what she said. "I um... I don't know what I was talking bout! Haha! You know I'm not that smart daddy. I'm just rambling away! Hehehe well I gotta go finish getting ready and apologize to good ole' big brother Gar. Bye!"

"Rachel Marie Logan!" Gar shouted but it was too late. Rachel had quickly camouflaged herself and hurried down the hall.

So many thoughts were going through his head. He knew now why Tim was wanting to come over. But what he didn't understand was why Rachel knew before he did. And if she knew before him, who else already knew. Obviously Junior knew, Rachel couldn't keep any secrets from her twin. Did Melvin know? Or Teether? Or worse. Did Raven already know and not bother to tell him?

The thought made Gar angry, sad and betrayed. Even though they never got along well, he was still legally and emotionally Tim's father. He had hoped that if Tim needed anything he would come to him for guidance. But when something such as this, something life changing, comes up and Tim had no bother to ask advice for the subject, and also be the only one who didn't know...it hurt.

Gar rubbed his face and looked at himself in the mirror and decided that he wouldn't let anyone know that he knew. He would play it cool. And then when the time was right...well in all honesty he couldn't think that far ahead.
