They walked around looking at everything. They ran into Paloma and her friends Simone, Kay, Jessica, Charity and Miguel. They were off having fun. They said hello to Sam and Grace Bennett and TC and Eve Russell. Kale woke about ten and was ready for fun and games. Theresa got tickets and went on the flying bumble bee with him. He insisted Ethan go with them so Theresa caved. Martin and Pilar showed up after that and Theresa felt a little more comfortable. Kale clung all over Ethan all day. Martin tried to take him on a ride but he refused to go on without Ethan. Theresa was getting scared because she knew if she didn't get Kale away from Ethan soon they both would end up hurt. Ethan went on the ride with them and then Theresa took action.
"Ok, it is getting late and I think it is time for us to go." Theresa says to Kale.
"No, more fun with Ethan." Kale said pleading.
"No, we need to go, so say goodbye." Theresa said firmly and Kale began to cry. "Look it is late and we should go. Will see you guys later." Theresa said picking Kale up and leaving with her family.
Sheridan and Luis go with them. Kale falls asleep when they reach home so Theresa puts him down in his play pin and sits with his family.
"Theresa if you don't mind me asking, why did you leave in such a hurry?"
"Kale is very young and gets easily attached to people, but Ethan can't have children so Ethan in turns gets attached and it isn't healthy. I don't want to hurt Ethan or my son but I can't let them be around each other. They need space."
"Ok, I will talk with Ethan if you like." Sheridan said.
"Thank you, but I think I will the next time I see him." Theresa took Kale up to his bed and wondered why her son felt so attached to a total stranger. What was she going to do?
Theresa helped Sheridan at her house the next week. Ivy and Gwen joined then after lunch everyday. Kale was home from spending the day at the park with Miguel and Charity. He was playing in his play pin. He was singing a sweet little song. Gwen looked mesmerized by it.
"So, Theresa, I know I have been asking you some annoying questions, but I want to ask you if you could do a fall and winter wardrobe for me. I can pay whatever if you except."
"Ivy, I would be happy too. Sheridan's wedding will be over soon and Kale starts nursery school in August so I will have the time."
"Good, well set some dates later." Ivy said smiling.
"Ok." Theresa said smiling.
They finished getting the main bulk of things done for the wedding.
"Oh, I got Kale's tux from the shop. It fits him perfectly." Theresa pulled out some pictures and handed them to Sheridan.
"Oh, he looks so sweet." Sheridan said.
"He had fun modeling it for mama to take some pictures." Sheridan showed the others. Kale stood and Was looking at them.
"Aunty Sheridan guess what?" Kale asked. Sheridan walked over and picked him up.
"What Kale?" Sheridan said.
"I love you." Kale said and he kissed her cheek.
"Oh, I love you too." Sheridan said kissing his cheek. Sheridan walked back over holding him.
"You are so sweet."
"He has been lately. I love you's and kisses." Theresa said.
"Mama." Kale said smiling. Sheridan handed him over. Kale curled himself against her and dozed off.
"How's his ear infection doing?" Sheridan asked.
"Good, a few more days of meds but he is good. I think he is finally settling down to life and it is good." They finished working and the girls left.
Theresa smiled as she watched Kale practice being the ring barer. Maybe things were going to be ok after all.
