Chapter 11: First Weekend (Part One)

"I can believe we finally finished the built ins for Kyle's room." Spencer said, admiring their hard work so far.

"Did you doubt me pretty boy?" Derek said, wrapping his arms around his husband and kissing his neck.

"I didn't mean it that way Derek and you know it!" Spencer said indignantly, turning in his husbands arms.

"I know! But we need to get going or we will be late picking up Kyle for our first weekend. We have lots to do with him so let's get going!"

"Alright, let me refill my coffee and I will meet you in the car. Grab the present on your way out as well." Spencer said, pulling out of his husband's warm embrace.

"Hello gentlemen, Dr. Rosa is just gathering Kyle. She will be out momentarily. In the meantime here is a list of people and numbers to call should something happen while Kyle is out with you. Also, I need you both to sign and date right here showing that you agree to follow the guidelines Dr. Rosa discussed with you on the phone. Do you have any questions?" the secretary asked.

"No, I think we are all good." Derek said, signing and dating the form and passing it to his husband.

"Okay, great. Kyle should be here soon." She said, accepting the newly signed form from Spencer.

"Kyle, what would you like to eat. Would you like breakfast food or lunch food." Derek asked upon getting everyone settled around the table.

"Breakfast! Can I have bear pancake?" Kyle asked enthusiastically, snuggling up to Spencer.

"Of course, do you want some orange juice with it?" Spencer questions, looking at the menu himself.

"Ya!"

"Hello, my name is Casey and I will be your waitress today. Can I get you started with some drinks?" the waitress asked, placing water on the table.

"Three orange juices and one coffee for my husband." Derek said, already knowing what everyone wanted to drink.

"I will get that going for you. Would the little guy like a applesauce cup while you wait?" She asked.

"Yes, please!" Kyle said, looking at Derek for the okay.

"Alright, I will be back with that."

A Few Minutes Later

Everyone had finally ordered and were enjoying the freshly squeezed orange juice, and Kyle was loving his applesauce.

"This is 'mazing!" Kyle said, eating another spoonful with no problem.

"I am glad," Derek said as a bell rang through the resteraunt.

"What's that!" Kyle said, looking around.

"Look see those people are eating one of the famous apple pancakes. They are huge so whenever one is ordered they ring a bell." Spencer said, pointing to the massive pancake.

(They fill a huge plate and are at least 6 inches tall. They are baked in an oven for some of the time. One of the owners makes all the batter for the different pancakes and they have one chef who does nothing but cook them. It is pretty amazing! They look good, but a little to sweat for me. You basically have to share it with a whole table. )

"Cool, can we get one of those next time?" Kyle asked.

"When we bring the whole team here next time we sure can. I know your new Aunts and Uncles can't wait to meet you!" Derek said.

"Ok" Kyle responded, looking slightly nervous at the prospect.

"Kyle, we got you this present to take back to the center with you until you get to live with us forever. Go ahead and open it. I hope you like it!" Derek said, handing the gift to the small boy.

Kyle accepted the gift and ripped it right open. Inside the package was a fluffy stuffed bear with a Knitted blue t-shirt that had Kyle Stitched on it (Courtesy of Penelope Garcia of course!)

"We picked it out, but your Aunt Penny made the shirt to go with it. Spencer said.

"I love it, thanks!" Kyle said, hugging the bear to himself and beaming. Derek snapped a picture of Kyle and his new friend and sent it to the team.

"Okay, here is your food boy! One bear pancake for the little guy and his friend. The scramble for you sir and here is the bacon and cheese omelet for you. Can I get you anything else while I am here?" the waitress asked, pulling the warm syrup from her pocket and placing it on the table.

"No, we are good. Thank you!" Spencer said.

"Spencer look I have a bear!" Kyle said, excitedly.

"Yes, you do buddy. It even has strawberry eyes and a mouth made of whipped cream. Do you need me to cut it in little pieces for you?" Spencer asked.

With a nod from Kyle Spencer carefully cut it into little pieces doing his best not to ruin the bear face. When he was done he scooted it in front of Kyle and began eating his own meal.

Thanks," Kyle said, placing a small square in his mouth and chewing carefully.

Authors Note:

Well, hope you enjoyed that chapter! Sorry it took so long to post. I was sick this past week and did not feel like doing much besides school and work.

The restaurant I put up does truly give free applesauce cups that are homemade to the children. My niece loves it when we take her there. They are just great there and the applesauce is excellent! All the food that I talk about is also real; I am not making it up or exaggerating. The place is amazing and family friendly!

Note I lowered the rating a little to gather more people. Definitely need more reviews people!

Lastly, thanks so much to my beta's! They have gone above and beyond and edited the whole story. Sounds much better!
