Happy woke up so excited and thinking that she and Alex would have an amazing saturday together, a magical experience at the zoo. Once they arrived there, everything was like she had imagined, they were having so much fun. The zoo was awesome. Perfection was being the key word of the day until something terrible happened. Happy lost the boy.
The mechanic got so desperate, madly worried about Alex. Happy tried to look for him , but the zoo was so big and crowed. So she decided go to the security office ask for help.
"I need help! My kid got lost, you need to help me find him. Now!" She was so nervous that she only realized a familiar face in the office when she stopped screaming.
"You?! Aren't you the crazy driver that hit my car?" Toby asked her.
"Yes. No , I mean, I'm not a crazy driver! But yeah, I was the one who hit that museum you call a car. What are you doing here?" Happy was already having a horrible day, meet this guy again made things worse.
"I also lost my kid. I tried to look for him, but this zoo is huge, so I came here ask for help. It seems you lost yours too?" Toby thought he would never see Happy again. But here he was, with his son lost and in the same place of the crazy driver. The day was definitely a terrible day.
"Yeah. I thought it'd be an amazing day, that Alex would be the happiest kid in the world here. Looks like I was wrong." Happy wasn't a talkative person, she hates talk with strangers and this guy was an asshole and had a stupid car, but her head were full of fears and she needed to put them out. " What if he is scared? I'm so worried about him."
In that moment, Toby realized how desperate Happy was and tried to comfort her.
"Hey! The security will find them. I'm sure. I'll get you a glass of water, okay?" The truth is that Toby was also terrified, but he needed to keep his faith because Nick was the best thing that happened in his life and just the thought that something bad could have happened to his kid, made him sick.
When Toby gave her the glass of walter , Happy observed the way his hands were shaking and realized that despite his words, he was also very worried.
"Where is the security?" Just after she calmed down a little, that Happy registered that the security wasn't in the office.
"Someone saw a kid with my son characteristics, so the security went there to see if it's Nick. I was never a religious man, but I hope God help me here." Toby didn't have the habit of pray, but for Nick he would do anything.
Looking the man so worried, passing his hand through his hair and beard over and over again, made Happy do something that would surprise anyone who knew her. She took Toby's hand and looked deep in his eyes .
"They'll find the kids. I can feel it." Toby heard Happy reassure him, but the intensity in her eyes caused him shivers. Their eyes locked for a while and the doctor was appreciating her beauty when the security came into the office.
"Hey man, make something clear to me. You said you lost one boy, but actually you lost two, right? Because we found two lost kids." The security seemed wary.
"Thank God! One of them is mine!" Happy was so glad! They also found Alex. Her heart was beating so fast.
If the security was wary before,now he was confused.
"I'm sorry, but I don't understand. You guys are divorced and decided that each one should keep one of the twins?"
"Twins? What are you talking about?" Toby was the confused one now, and was getting worried again because it seemed they had found twins and not Nick.
"Wait a minute. I asked my assistant to stay with them for me to talk with you,I'll get them now."
After 2 minutes the security came into the office with Alex and Nick. The two boys were holding hands. And Happy and Toby thought they were getting crazy or allucinating. Happy was the first to break the silence.
"Holy crap!"
"They're identical!" Toby said. He couldn't believe it! How it was possible?!
"Really?! Don't tell me sherlock! I didn't have realized it!" Happy knew she was being mean, but that was how she act when she was in front of something that scared her.
Toby ignored her and went close to the 's when Nick said:
"I'm so sorry, Toby! I didn't run away, I just wanted to meet my brother again."
"Hey,It's ok. I'm not mad, I'm just confused. Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?" The man didn't understand why Nick kept this big secret.
"I was afraid you wouldn't want to keep me if I had a brother."
Nick said it with tears in his eyes and the only thing Toby could do was hug him and say how much he loved him.
" Nick, you're very important to me. I love you very , very much! And I'd still love you even if you had a million brothers!"
"Thank you, Toby. I love you too! I knew you would understand! I told Alex how cool you are and that you'd adopt him too! You will adopt him,right?" Nick asked with a cute face.
Toby loved Nick with all his heart, but he never thought about have another kid. Being a single dad of just one kid was enough for him, but he couldn't separate his kid from his brother. So he turned to talk to Alex, but the boy wasn't beside them anymore, he was hugging Happy. Toby could see how much love that woman and that kid have for each other.
" Nick, let's go talk to your brother, ok?"
Toby and Nick got close to Alex and Happy and listened the woman talking.
" Alex, I was so worried! Thank God you're alright! Promise me that you'll never do something like that again. I love you so much!"
" I won't, I swear! I love you too! Are you mad at me?" The boy asked almost crying.
Listening Alex saying he loves her was amazing, and she couldn't contain the smile that formed in her lips.
"I'm not mad at you Alex. I just was scared."
" I wanted to see my brother." Alex said and hugged her.
"But why didn't you tell me you had a brother? And how you knew you'd meet him here? " Happy had so many questions.
Alex told her everything, how he and Nick manage to run away of the orphanage and that they connected with each other through emails.
The zoo security, who was listening everything, said in loud voice something he was thinking.
"But how you guys found each other in this zoo? It's very big."
"Nick told me, in the email, to meet him in the bird exhibition that's happened in 14 pm." Alex answered the man.
"Oh boy, these kids are so smart!" Toby was enchanted by the twins.
"They definitely are!" Happy was also very proud with the boys plan.
After the twins explanation, the security realized Toby and Happy were reliable people and decided to leave the room for them to be more comfortable with the kids.
Then, Alex decided to ask something he really wanted.
"Happy, can you adopt my brother too, please? He is a very nice kid! Very polite and very intelligent! He even knows some words in spanish. Show her Nick!" Alex was so thankful that Happy wasn't mad at him. She really was the coolest adult in the world. He was sure she would adopt Nick too.
Spanish was Nick favorite subject in school, so he remember how to speak a lot of words and he usually uses this knowledge to impress people. But he didn't want to be adopted by Happy, he wanted to stay with Toby.
"No, brother! Toby will adopt us!" Nick said to Alex like it was an obvious thing.
" No , Nick! Happy will adopt us! I want to stay with her." Alex said very annoyed.
"And I want to stay with Toby, but I also don't want to be far away from you!" Nick said with tears in his eyes.
"I also don't want to be far away from you! We need to be together, we're brothers!" Alex said and started cry too.
Happy watched the boys crying and got so sad and lost. She wanted to be with Alex because he was her world, but she also wanted he to be with his brother.
"That's so sad! What're we gonna do?" Happy asked Toby.
The doctor started to think about a solution and found one that seemed totally crazy. Toby had no ideia how what he was about to propose would work because he and Happy didn't know themself and everything could be a total disaster. However, for Nick he'd do anything. So Toby distance himself from the twins and made a signal for Happy to follow him. When they were a little far from the boys he told her his idea.
"We should live together."
"What?! Are you crazy?! We doesn't' even know each other! This is just the second time we saw each other in our life!" The mechanical couldn't believe what she had just heard. How could she live with a man she just met once before today?!
Toby knew it was an insane idea, but it was the right thing to do.
"Happy, it's crazy, I know! But Nick and Alex are brothers and we can't separate them. Trust me, I'm a Harvard trained shrink and I'm aware of how bad it'd be. However, we can't be away of them either. I love Nick so much and I saw you and Alex together. There's a special conection between you two. "
" This is insane! And you call me a crazy driver, but you are the one that is mad. You're a crazy shrink!" However, Happy understood what Toby was saying and knew he was right. "But although this idea scared the hell out of me, I know it's our only option. You're right , the boys can't be apart."
"So, are we moving in together?" Toby asked with a shy smile.
"Yes, we are." Happy had no idea how it'd work , but she will do anything for Alex.
After Toby and Happy tell Nick and Alex about the news, the twins hugged them very tightly and then started to sing together around the room.
"We're going to live together, we're going to live together!"
Happy and Toby laughed and looked at each other. Happy blushed with the intensity toby was looking at her, so she turned her head to where the twins were. She was very glad to see how much the boys were excited. But she was also very scared. How would be to live with Toby?
They didn't have a good impression about each other in their first meeting. Happy could tell he was a narcissistic. He called her a crazy driver and she called him hysterical. Meantime, today she saw a new side of him. It was very clear how much he loved Nick. So maybe this man wasn't so bad. Also, he was very cute, not that she would want anything to do with him. She was just establishing a fact.
Happy's thoughts were broken when Toby started to tell jokes and the boys laughed really hard. The mechanical 's heart melted with the scene. She wasn't an emotional person , but the twins's joy was so beautiful. Then, she thought "Yeah... this man isn't so bad". Happy couldn't help but smile with this verification.
