The Next Morning.....
Eric is downstairs talking to Matt as Annie and Mary come down with the twins. Mary puts Sam in a high chair and Annie puts David in a high chair.
"Mom, will it be okay if I take Ruthie out for ice cream after I pick her up?" Matt asks.
"Does she want to go with you?"
"I haven't told her yet and I just wanted to know if it is okay." Matt replies.
"Sure."
Matt goes upstairs to ask if Ruthie wants to go which she says yes. Eric then leaves, Annie asks Mary if she can feed the twins for a few minutes so she can talk to Eric, Mary says yes.
"Eric Camden!!!!"
"Yeah Annie?"
"What is wrong with you?" Annie asks angrily.
"Nothing."
"Nothing? I heard you last night. You were sweating all over the sheet honey and there is a stain from your sweat even your pajamas smell. You go downstairs to get a drink then you go to the bathroom and back to bed. You have been like this for a few days now and I am worried." Annie asked then responded with slight anger.
"Look honey I'm fine. I'm just stressed out right now that's all."
"I want you to see a doctor."
"Oh honey I'm fine."
"Fine. I'll see you tonight." Annie then walks back in the house.
Eric then gets in the car and drives off as Mary takes Simon and Ruthie to school then gets herself and Lucy to class. After school Simon is picked up by Mary and she sees Matt picking up Ruthie then Mary drives home.
"Mom, we're home." Simon says.
"Hi kids."
"Mom, we are not kids." Mary says
"Oh you're not?"
"No." The three say in unison
"Well what are you?"
"Uh.....Young adults." They say in unison again
"But you know what?"
"What?" Simon asks.
"I'm still your mother."
"We know mom." Mary says as she, Lucy and Simon give Annie a hug.
"Oh Mary, did Matt pick up Ruthie?"
"Yea I saw Matt pick up Ruthie."
"Okay."
Simon and his sisters go upstairs to do homework as Annie finishes up on the laundry. Two hours later Matt and Ruthie come home from the park, just after they walk in Annie asks how their day was.
"Did you have fun with Matt?"
"Yea. We went to get ice cream then we went to the park." Ruthie says.
"You had a good time huh?"
"Yea. Thank you Matt." Ruthie says.
"What are brothers for?" Matt says as he and Ruthie goes upstairs.
Annie called everyone for dinner. Everyone sat for dinner except for Eric.
"Mom, do you want me to call dad at work?" Matt asks.
"Yes, please ask him what time he will be coming home?." Annie asks Matt as he leaves for the phone. A few minutes later Matt comes back.
"Well?"
"I couldn't reach him, I kept getting his voice mail at work." Matt says.
"Did you page him?"
"No, do you want me to?" Matt says.
"No, just eat."
After dinner, Mary and Matt do the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, Lucy and Ruthie clean off the table while Annie was cleaning up the twins and Simon was upstairs finishing his homework. An hour later Annie was playing with the twins in the living room with Ruthie as Mary, Lucy tidy up their room while Matt would call Eric when asked to by Annie. Two hours later Annie had put the twins down, Lucy, Mary, Ruthie and Simon went to bed. Matt went down to the church to see if Eric is there then Matt came home telling Annie that Eric wasn't there.
"Do you want me to get Sgt. Micheals?"
"Your father has to be missing for 24 hours before we can call him so lets' wait and see." Annie says.
"Okay I'm going to head off to bed now. Good night mom."
"Good night." Annie replies as she waits in the living room.
Matt is already in bed and Annie then went to bed 20 mins. later. All is quiet as GlenOak and the Camdens minus Eric sleep.
