Chapter2
After Teresa's mum and dad left to start their party Minnelli had set out some light snacks before dinner whilst Wayne, Grace and Cho took a nap. When he looked up from putting the last bowl of crisps down, he found Patrick observing Teresa who was colouring in her picture book unaware she was being watched. It was amusing to Minnelli and so he decided to not only make Teresa laugh but also Patrick by swooping little Teresa up in his arms and tickling her mercilessly and Patrick ran and joined in but when green orbs started to give him the puppy dog look, he stopped the tickling assault and asked if they wanted a quick nap before having dinner.
So with Patricks hand firmly enclosed in Teresa's she dragged him over to an armchair curled up together and soon they were both asleep oblivious to the photos being taken of all five kids. An hour later saw Teresa sitting bolt upright and climbing of the chair to find Minnelli in the kitchen.
While the kids where asleep, Minnelli took himself into the kitchen to prepare dinner. He was startled when a little body hugged his legs tightly. When he looked down he saw Teresa and she was shaking so he stopped what he was doing and picked her up and asked her what was wrong, The things she whispered to him made him chuckle inwardly "a monster was coming to eat me" so he got her some juice and told her "Reese sweetie monsters won't hurt you while I'm here ok" and she nodded reluctantly and sat and watched her uncle finish of the rest of dinner.
