A few days later, John and Randy were back on the road. Milly and Ella were with them as was Holly and Dena. But they were out shopping with the divas so, the girls were with the guys as both were not feeling well.

"Daddy, do I have to take this?" Milly asked when he gave her some medicine.

"Yes. It will make you feel better." John said to his daughter.

"That was gross daddy." She said once she had taken it.

"I know but you have to take it." He laughed. She hated taking any kind of medicine.

"Daddy. I'm cold." Ella whined to Randy.

"There." He said placing another blanket on her. "Better."

"Yes." She giggled.

"How about a movie?" John said to both of them.

"Oh, something cool." Milly replied.

"Let's watch the grinch." Ella said quickly.

"Oh, I love the grinch." Milly said excitedly.

"Alright. Let me find the grinch." John began looking through all of the DVDs that Holly and Dena had brought for the girls. Finally he found the grinch. He placed it in the DVD player.

He and Randy got comfortable on the bed with the girls and the movie started.

"Why did the Grinch hate the whos?" Ella asked when it started.

"Because he didn't like Christmas." Randy replied.

"But why?" Ella asked again.

"Because his heart was too small." Milly said to her.

"Why did he have a small heart?"

"Ella, the grinch had a small heart because Dr. Seuss wrote it that way." Randy said to her. "Just watch the video."

The whos started singing on the video and Milly and Ella joined in. Randy hoped the girls wouldn't sing through the whole thing. As the video went on, the girls continued to say the words. Once it was over, John and Randy thought the girls would be asleep but both were awake.

"Why did the grinch change his mind and bring the present back?" Milly asked her dad.

"Because his heart grew three sizes and he was happy and wanted to celebrate Christmas." John replied with more patience then Randy had at the moment.

"So, he likes the whos now?"

"Yes. He realized that Christmas wasn't about presents or decorations. It's about spending time with family."

"Oh. So, the grinch loves Christmas now?" Ella asked.

"Yes. He loves Christmas and he loves the whos."

"Oh, that's cool." Milly replied. "Can we watch the little mermaid?"

"Yes." John got up and put in the Little Mermaid.

The girls sang along with it and said the words. John could tell Randy wasn't feeling well and getting annoyed with the girls and their questions. He thought it was better to get Randy out of the room before he snapped at one of them. John knew the girls would cry if Randy snapped at them.

"Randy, why don't you go to your room and lay down? I'll watch the girls."

"Thanks John. I just don't feel well." Randy got up and kissed Ella on the head and headed to his room.

"Is daddy sick?" Ella asked John.

"He doesn't feel well. But he is gone to take a nap and hope that makes him better."

"How did daddy get sick?"

"He probably caught the same cold you guys have."

"Why are colds contagious daddy?" Milly asked.

"Because of gems. Gems are spread very easy. And gems cause you to be sick."

"Oh. Okay."

They turned their attention back to the movie and were soon asleep. John began to clean up just as Holly and Dena came in.

"Hey, baby." Holly said kissing her husband and then looking to see the girls asleep. "Where's Randy?"

"He wasn't feeling well so, I told him to go back to his room."

"Well, I better go see if he is okay. Can Ella stay here?" Dena asked them.

"Sure." Holly replied.

"Thanks." Dena quickly left and made her way to her room.

"So, Randy has the cold too huh?"

"Yeah and the girls were full of questions and he was getting annoyed. So, I sent him away before he could snap at one of them."

"Good thinking."

"Thanks. Now, I'm tired." John said walking to the other bed and lying down. "Your turn for kid duty."

Holly laughed and finished cleaning up. She hoped Randy felt better soon.
