Kevin and Joshua were 3 months old when their mother took them to Orlando to visit Irene and Henry, who hadn't seen the boys in almost a month. Sophia had wanted to stay home in Miami with daddy, who had to fix the plumbing in the kitchen before it needed to be switched out because Horatio had stalled it for too long. He had only stalled it for two weeks, but he knew that if he didn't fix the broken pipes, there would be water in the whole kitchen and he'd need to buy a new kitchen sink and probably even more.

Since Horatio had fixed kitchen pipes before he didn't need to hire a professional. Or so he believed when he laid down under the sink after he had turned off all the water. Why there was a hole in the pipe to begin with he didn't know. Sophia was playing in her room while daddy was working.

"What the hell?" Horatio sighed as he saw that there was more than one hole in the pipe.

He had been working for hours and was far from finished.

"Bad daddy!" Sophia exclaimed.

Horatio was surprised see her standing in the kitchen with her teddy in her arms. He hadn't heard her come down. She moved quietly just like him.

"I know angel, shame on daddy." Horatio said.

He reached out for a tool and when he didn't find it, Sophia did it for him. She picked up a wrench, but her little hand couldn't quite grasp it and she dropped it on daddy's stomach. It didn't hurt, but it sure surprised Horatio and because of it he jumped slightly and hit his head on the pipes.

Sophia giggled and Horatio smiled.

"Silly!" Sophia grinned and sat down on the floor to watch daddy.

Horatio grabbed the wrench and kept on working. Sophia watched. Horatio worked. It went on like that for an hour before Sophia started playing with her teddy in the kitchen.

"Son of a…" Horatio growled.

"Daddy ary?"

"Daddy's not angry. Daddy is just a little annoyed." Horatio sighed and wiped the sweat of his forehead.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, angel?"

"Me wanna sista." Sophia said.

"You have to ask your mother about that." Horatio chuckled.

"Daddy?"
"Yes?"

"Daddy go pee-pee." Sophia laughed and pointed at the big wet stain on Horatio's upper right thigh.

Horatio crawled out from under the sink and resisted the urge to yell as he noticed another hole from which water had been dripping for hours.

"How can there still be water dripping if I turned it off?" He asked himself, "And daddy did not go pee-pee."

Sophia just giggled. Horatio decided to check if he had really turned off the water and of course he hadn't. With a frustrated sigh he turned off the water completely and went back to the kitchen. Sophia was still sitting on the floor and Horatio crawled back under the sink. Just as Horatio had fixed the first holes it was time for lunch. He'd have to fix the last hole after it.

"What do you want for lunch, angel?" Horatio asked.

Sophia shrugged and grinned shyly at her father. He knew what it meant so he made pancakes. Whenever Sophia had a certain twinkle in her eyes and a certain grin she wanted pancakes.

After lunch Kyle came by with Kim and decided to help his father with the last work on the pipes. Since they couldn't both fit under the sink on the same time, Horatio crawled under it and Kyle handed him the right tools and stuck his head in sometimes trying to see as much of the hole as he could. While father and son were bickering about how to best solve the problem; Kim and Sophia played in Sophia's room. After more than an hour they came downstairs to find the two men sitting on the couch. Both of them were asleep too.

"Kyle?" Kim asked and shook her boyfriend's shoulder.

Kyle stirred and opened his eyes. He stood up from the couch and stretched his body.

"How can you fall asleep after less than two hours of work?" Kim chuckled.

"It was hard work. You try working with dad when he's already annoyed from working all morning and you'll see how hard it is." Kyle smirked.

Horatio stirred and stood up too before Kyle had the chance to wake him up. Sophia reached her arms out to daddy and he picked her up.

"Everything's fine with the pipes now?" Kim asked.

"More than fine actually. They'll probably hold for years to come." Horatio smiled, "All thanks to Kyle of course."

Kyle grinned proudly.

"Um dad, we've been meaning to tell you and Jessica something." Kyle said, "She's not here so we'll call her later."

"Okay." Horatio said.

"Kim and I are moving in with each other. Or rather I'm moving to Kim's apartment." Kyle smiled, "Not today, but I'm going to start moving things over to her, well our apartment, this weekend."

Both Kim and Kyle smiled widely and hoped that Horatio would react well. He couldn't really be annoyed with them because he had moved in very quickly with Jessica.

"That's great! I'm happy for you!" Horatio grinned and hugged them both.

"Thanks." Kim and Kyle smiled, "What do you think Sophia?"

"Kids?" She asked.

"No kids yet. In one or two years maybe." Kim shrugged.

"We'll wait a few more years." Kyle agreed.

Sophia then broke down in tears and hugged her father. Kyle looked confused at Kim, who caressed the little girl's cheek. Horatio rubbed Sophia's back as she cried.

"What did I do?" Kyle asked.

"You're moving." Horatio said, "This is like when Kevin and Joshua first came home. She didn't like sharing us with them and it took some time before she got used to having them around. Now, she probably thinks you're abandoning her."

"Sophia, do you think Kyle won't come here anymore?" Kim asked.

Sophia nodded but refused to look at the three adults.

"He will come here. Our apartment is not far from here." Kim smiled, "You can visit us and we can visit you."

Sophia looked at Kim still with tears in her eyes.

"Hey kiddo, I'm not leaving you." Kyle said, "I'm just moving out. I'm still your brother Sophia."

"Pomise?"

"I promise. I love you too much to leave you." Kyle smiled widely.

Sophia looked at her father for confirmation and Horatio smiled at her. Sophia reached her arms out to Kyle and he hugged his little sister.

"You can help me pack so you'll get used to the idea of me moving out, okay?" Kyle asked.

Sophia nodded and seemed the cheer up a little. Sophia was so caring already at her young age and she wasn't the only one who had to get used to Kyle growing up and moving to his own place or moving in with Kim. Both Horatio and Kyle's mother Julia had to get used to that too.

When Sophia went to sleep that night, she wanted to sleep in daddy and mommy's bed. Horatio put her in their bed and gave Sophia her teddy. Jessica had been happy to hear that Kyle and Kim were moving in with each other and she would be coming home the next day.

"You feel better now, angel?" Horatio asked.

Sophia nodded.

"Remember that Kyle's not leaving you. He's still your brother." Horatio said.

Sophia nodded and gave her father small smile before she fell asleep. Horatio watched some TV for a while and thought about how strange it would be to suddenly see his son move out of the house. It was a good thing though, because Kyle was happy. If Kyle was happy, Horatio was happy.
