Back in Nick's room

Danny walked into the room and stood in the doorway.

"Okay we sorted out the kids but you need to stop shouting," he said crossing his arms over his chest.

"They started it!" Patrick shouted.

"I said stop shouting, and I think you'll find it was Nick who started it."

"No Nick started shouting because they were making too much noise," Tia butted in.

"Well they've gone to bed so you don't need to worry."

"Uh Dad, Becker and Connor probably need your help then," Anna smiled gesturing for her father to go.

"Fine, just don't make too much noise because Izzy and Alexis are asleep." Danny warned as he backed out the room to go and help get the boys ready for bed.

"God my brothers are so annoying," Nick groaned, collapsing back onto his bed.

"Same here, at least you don't have to put up with Chloe," Patrick laughed sitting on the bed beside him.

Tia was leant against the balcony railing, looking out over the living room.

"Hey where are Sid and Nancy?" She asked

Nick stood up and walked over. "Umm, they're probably in the boys bedroom or asleep in Izzy's room."

"What about Rex? I haven't seen him today," Anna asked standing next to Tia.

"Over there," Nick pointed. "You see that pillow in the roof beams; well he hides up there sometimes. He's probably got one of Izzy's teddies up there."

"Cute."

As if knowing they were talking about him, Rex sprung out from between his makeshift house and flew down to them. He landed neatly on Nick's head and chirruped in his ear, before nuzzling his neck happily and hopping onto the banister.

"Hey Rex," Nick laughed.

He got a chirp in reply.

Rex leapt of the banister and soared into the kitchen, most likely looking for left out food.

"Bye then," Patrick grinned.

"You know Nicky boy, my sister really fancies you," Pat laughed.

"Really I would have never guessed!" Nick laughed sarcastically, then taking on a more serious tone. "Wait where is Chloe?"

As if to answer Nick's question there was a knock on the door, followed by a very annoying and sadly familiar voice. "Nick, can I come in...Please?"

"Nick's not here," Anna shouted gesturing for him to hide.

"Huh, what do you mean," Chloe asked shoving open the door and walking into the room.

"Uh I mean he's not here."

Nick was there, but he was hid under the bed. Luckily Tia had pulled the covers of the bed a bit so the dangled over the side so Chloe couldn't see him.

"Why not though because this is his room. Where did he go?"

"You know I think he is in the kitchen," Tia smiled at the eight year old.

Chloe didn't like Tia much and glared at her. "Ok, I'll go look there then."

Then with that Chloe left the room and Nick rolled out from under the bed.

"That was close," he grinned.

"Too close," Pat laughed giving him a hand up.
