Bent or broken it's the family tree

Each branch a part,

Have a part of me

This is my tree,

and It's a beautiful tree

She had grown to love them, she likes to think they had grown to love her too (even Happy, although the touch engineer would never admit it). She knew they all loved and cherished Ralph. They were a small, dysfunctional family but it worked for them. Paige would find herself sitting at the top of the stairs watching them. She had already dropped Ralph off at school which left Sylvester to work on his equations alone but after ten minutes of getting chalk on his hand he thoroughly cleaned them before reading his latest issue of Super Fun Guy comic She had bought him (she bought Ralph one too).

"Leave me alone Doc!" Paige heard Happy yell, this was just part of their routine. It happened everyday. Not long after she heard her yell there was a clunk followed by Toby walking out of the garage rubbing his head. Paige couldn't see properly but she could have sworn she saw a bump, or at least red mark. She didn't move, in about an hour or so it would all be forgotten and Toby will go back to carry on getting under her skin and Happy will pretend not to enjoy his company. It was actually quite amusing.

"What are you doing?" Paige jumped, "I didn't mean to startle you, but why are you sitting on the stairs? Sylvester would say it's a fire hazard" Walter stared down at her before sitting down on the top one up from where she was sitting.

"Nothing. I just like to sit here and watch."

"Watch what exactly?"

"Watch our little makeshift family." She beamed at him and she saw it in his eyes. He would say it was stupid that its just normal human behaviour or that technically they weren't actually a family but his eyes told her that he understood. That this was his family too, that he would do anything for her and the people she was watching. They are what he loves. He would say that he doesn't understand emotions or that emotions were useless and that they weren't rational; but his eyes told her that he understood more about emotions than he'd let on. He never moved to get up and leave, instead the pair of them sat there for a little over an hour just watching.
