Hank's POV

My daughter was smiling at her cousins. I must inform you, there is nothing like family. At that moment, I had gotten the brilliant idea that we should all go out to eat to celeberate Janine's arrival.

" I have a marvelous idea, Sophia."

" What is it?"

" How about we all go to Outback Steakhouse for dinner and give my personal chef the night off? But if you are tired then we do not have to."

" That sounds good, what do you think Delilah?" Sophia said

" Yeah we can do that. Ill pay for my children."

After our agreement, I helped Kate put Janine back in her carseat. Sophia slid herslef into her wheelchair and Delilah walked her back to the garage to help her get in the car. Preston seemed more fascinated with Janine. He would always stare at her and examine her features. He would smile at her when she cooed or squirmed in his arms when he held her. He would always caress her little head while she slept. It was extraodinary how infactuated he was with her. Kate on the other hand was always talking about what clothes she would buy for her upcoming birthdays.

The butler gave them their things. We all walked out with the caravan heated up for Janine to be warm. The twins went to their mother's car. I set Janine up in the car in the back seat and got in the drivers seat. Making sure it was safe enough to pull off, I backed out of the driveway with Delilah behind me and drove off. Sophia was in the back seat with Janine sucking on her finger.

" Honey?"

" Yes, dear?"

" Have you noticed how the twins were with Janine?"

" Well I noticed the way Preston smiles at her and stuff."

" Exactly. I think it's extraordinary the way he would treat her with such care like she was his own. Usually you would expect the boy to be a little more rough."

"Yeah and Kate is the natural-all-about-clothes type, isn't she?"

" Yes."

We soon arrived in the parking lot of Outback. I got Sophia into her wheelchair and carried the diaper bag and Janine inside. Delilah and the twins followed us into the restaurant. Surprisingly, we were immediately seated to two tables put together to make a table for five. Delilah had moved chairs for Sophia's wheelchair. For Janine, I had grabbed a nearby infant car seat holder so she could be at the end of the table. Kate had sat on our side. Preston and Delilah sat on the opposite. As we waited on our waiter, I gave a hard frown to the people walking by Janine, carrying hot food over her. The worst scenarios played in my mind: one clumsy oaf might spill and hurt my daughter.

" Hank, dear, whats wrong?"

" Nothing...I want the people walking by her to be more careful."

" Don't worry, honey. Im sure they're aware-" Sophia was cut off by something in her peripheral vision. I looked where she was and there was a strange individual across the room. We could only see the flesh of his hands, which had looked like scorched skin cell tissue. He wore a black over-head jacket, tapping the salt container. He was accompanied by two gentlemen also, with their faces hidden. It had seemed to me that whoever those gentlemen were, they were receiving a lot of Sophia's attention.

" Sophia? Is something bothering you?" Delilah had asked.

" Uh...no. Nothing...is everyone ready to order yet?"

" Umm...the waiter or waitress didn't even come to our table yet." said Preston.

" Oh! Woof! I must be going crazy!" She said laughing it off. I put my arm around her chair. I started to mentally take notes on her strange behavior.

" Hi! Welcome to Outback Steakhouse. My name is Stacy and I will be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you guys off with something to drink?"

" I will have tea, please." I said.

" I will have a raspberry lemonade." Sophia said.

" I'll have a raspberry lemonade, too." Said Kate.

" I'll have a beer." Preston said playfully.

" He'll have a Sprite," Said Delilah

" And I'll have a...pina collada."

" Are you sure you should be drinking? You do have to drive home." Said Sophia.

" I'll be fine."

" I will be right back with your drinks."

I all of a sudden felt eyes watching my every move, intense firey eyes burning through my back.

" Sophia, I have the feeling that I am being watched."

" I do too... do you guys want to ask if we can change seats? I don't feel comfortable with that man over there."

Kate looked for some different seats

" It looks like there are no more seats left."

The waitress soon returned with our drinks and carefully walked around my baby and placed our drinks down on the table.

" Excuse me, do you think we can get our seats changed? That man over there is making us uncomfortable."

" Ooohh, Im sorry all the other tables are either preserved or booked. I apologize."

" Oh, well. Thank you."

By the way Sophia was staring at this man, she looked nervous. I was beginning to worry.
