Jamie put her to bed that night then went out into the kitchen to have a whiskey. Frank was up doing the same. Frank smiled at the shuffling footsteps, pouring a second glass for his son. "Figured you'd need one too."

"She is really getting intense Dad..."

"That's being a mother son. Mary was like that with all her kids, especially you and Danny," Frank studied him.

"I know, Mom was protective but Eddie it's like she's scared...and Teddy isn't that scared, he doesn't know he's different," Jamie took a long sip from the glass. The whiskey felt good going down, calmed his nerves.

Frank burrowed his mustache as he leaned over the table, "But the times he is it affects Eddie. It isn't that he's different that's scaring Eddie, it's what he sees and his reaction to that."

The ball in the upstairs bedroom started to bounce. Jamie sighed, "Samuel is feeling playful."

"We need to teach that kid about bedtime," Frank took a sip from his own glass. "This goes on every night?"

"Five out of seven nights,' Jamie replied. 'Sometimes Teddy is tired so he's arguing with him other times he will play back or stay asleep." He sighed, taking a little more of the scotch to finish then poured himself more.

Frank shook his head quietly coming to realize how much they had going on. Frank got up, "I'll go stop it. You relax."

Jamie frowned with the glass in hand tightly, watching his father stand up. "How are you going to stop it dad? We've tried everything but he continued to do what he wants."

"I'm going to tell him a story,' Frank replied and headed upstairs to where Teddy and Samuel were rolling the rubber ball. "Boys" Frank addressed them as a unit. "Its time to sleep, you can play tomorrow. Teddy and Samuel, both of you go lay down now."

Teddy looked up with rounded eyes, "I try to sleep grandpa but Samuel wants to keep playing ball. He keeping Teddy up. I tell him time to sleep but he don't listen."

"Well, that's maybe because Samuel never had a bedtime story from Grandpa. What do you think of that Samuel? Do you want to hear a story?"

Teddy looked out over his friend, "He never heard a bedtime story before grandpa. Grandpa tells the best bedtime stories Samuel. "

"Okay," Frank replied. "Samuel, lie down, no more ball right bbn now, and we will have a atory."

Teddy went to his bed, laying down and waited until Frank tucked him in. Smiling Teddy lay back, listening sleepily to his grandpa so tired he didn't get to finish listening to the story. Things were quiet for the rest of the night

The next day, Frank kept the family busy, then watched Christa while Jamie and Eddie took Teddy to the center. Teddy held both parents hands skipping along with them. His blue eyes looked around at everything. "Here we are," eddie smile at him. "Say hi to ."

"Hi Doctor Duc," Teddy waved at him from behind Eddie's leg.

"Hey, Teddy, you ready to go and have some fun," he asked. "This is Amy and this is Deanna and they are like you. They see friends that other people can't see."

Teddy looked over the two girls, both older then him but he smiled anyway. "We play more games? Are they coming too?"

"Yes," he replied. "You see if they see the same things. Did you bring his carseat?"

Jamie lifted the car seat and nodded, "Will be taking a trip?"

"Yes, to a few locations around Salem and the areas," he replied

Eddie gave Jamie's hand a squeeze, "Of course we'll be going too. These girls coming on the trip as well?"

"Its better if you don't," he replied.

Eddie narrowed her eyes, "Then Teddy isn't going. I am not letting my son get in the car alone with three people we don't know."

"No, you misunderstood," replied. "You can come to the location but we want his natural reaction during his walk."

"We are coming with him. We understand what you have to do doctor and it's fine but we have to ride with him."

"You can ride with him, but when he is in a location he need to be in his own. You can watch us through the cameras in the van

Eddie turned to look at Jamie rounding her eyes brightly at him. He nodded, "Okay, that's okay. Where do we to first?"

The doctor nodded at both girls to follow him, then the same for Eddie and Jamie. They went first to a known haunted house, where a young girl was known to travel around the grounds. Jamie put an arm around Eddie's shoulders soon as her body tensed up. They had to hang back, while the professor held Teddy's hand a d he walked around. "What do you feel Teddy?"

"A lot of people here, all ladies older then mommy even. They all grandma's like my Grandma Lena. They're really sad," Teddy said slowly.

"You see that? What do the look like?" They had never seen women there.

He nodded slowly, "Yes they really old with gray hair but they're sad. They don't smile so I know they're sad "

He gave him the prayers to say, he whispered the words knowing if he let Teddy back off he could be hurt

Teddy had his eyes closed, trying to repeat the prayer but his voice shook.

"That's a good boy," the doctor replied. "Tell me what you feel and see?"

His eyes remained closed but Teddy answered, "They they moving away from Teddy now, still angry at Teddy but not as close."

" , hes describing a demon, I dont feel that here. I just feel that other negative, the doctor"

"Yes, he is feeling even more powerful beings than we can and he's still so very young," Dr Duck replied

Teddy was exhausted and starting to fuss a lot.

"Come along Teddy, you did very well today," Dr Duc was very impressed with him.

He was so tired he was tripping over his own feet and yawning

Dr Duc met Eddie who came flying out of the van to take her son. She smothered him against her chest, "Close your eyes Teddy bear, mommy is here."

"Scary Mommy," Teddy held onto her

"I know it was but you did so good," Eddie kissed him and snuggled him right.

"Wanna go sleepy, " he fussy

"Go ahead and close your eyes Teddy," Eddie slowly rubbed his back so he could fall asleep. She looked up at the doctor

After just a minute in the comfort of his mom's arms Teddy fell right back to sleep.

Jamie put Teddy in the car and they headed for the Institute again. "So...what do you think? What can be done?"

"I think he has powers that are beyond even those that older children like him possess," Dr Duc admitted. "I can recommend reaching him to protect him and advise you some things to do at home."

"How did he get this?" Jamie asked. "How di he end up with this gift?"

"The gift is very complicated and often we aren't sure exactly how one gets it," Dr Duc admitted.

"But it tends to run in families, so sometimes it is a grandparent, great grandparent, but other times... nothing," Doctor Duc admitted softly.

Jamie looked over at Eddie wondering the same thing she was. No one in their families had the gift that they knew

"Might be on my side," she speculated. "Eastern Europe has a lot of that."

He nodded, "Could be. Is there a way to know for sure? Will we know how he's going to be ?"

"I can ask my Mom," she replied. "Ill ask when I call her next week. Shell be back in New York then.'

Jamie kept an eye on Teddy sleeping in Eddie's arms during the whole ride. He wondered how Teddy inherited the gift, as far as he knew none of the Reagan's had it.
