As soon as the babysitter was gone, Tucker wanted to watch some cartoons. Miranda said, "Okay, but I would like you to meet a friend of mine. You know how daddy has his friend Sarah?"
Tucker nodded his head yes, then asked her, "Is this friend of yours going to be like what Sarah is to daddy? You know like going to live here? Are you and your friends going to be quieter than daddy and Sarah? They make too much noise at night, it gets scary sometimes. Did they know Unka George?"
"Wow sometimes I wonder which one of your Aunts you get the rambling from?" Miranda said laughing at the rush of questions from her sons mouth. While thinking to herself, that she definitely needs to find out what the heck happens when he is with his dad. Then she lead him into the living room from the front hallway. Tucker was surprised to see that whoever mommy's friend was already his favorite television shows on. Tucker was surprised when his mommy's new friend, muted the television and walked over to his mom and him. He decided he was going to be the man of the house, and as Eli approached he waited patiently to see who was going to go first. Eli got down on his knees to be able to look at the child into his eyes. "Hi Tuck, my name is Eli," he stated sticking his hand out towards him. Tucker shook the hand, and then stated, "Hello Eli. My name is William George Bailey Tucker. Before you ask me if my mommy and daddy liked the movie, 'it's a Wonderful Life' the answer is no, I was named for my daddy and my Unka George, the last two names of my name is my mommy and daddy's last names. They couldn't decided when I was in my mommy's tummy. Now can I ask you a few questions Mr. Eli?" Tucker asked quietly.
"Sure little man anything you want to know I will try my best to answer. If I don't know the answer to your questions I will find the answers and report back to you. Is that alright?"
"That is fine. Do you work at Seattle Grace with my mommy? Do you know my Aunts Cristina, Meredith, Callie, Arizona, Teddy and Lexie? Do you know my Unka's Alex, Owen, Derek and Sloan? Do you know Chief Webber? Did you know my Unka George, and if you did, can you please tell me some stories about him. I need some new ones, the old stories of him are good to, but I need to salad it around." Tucker paused to see what his answers would be, and also because he spotted his mommy laughing from the corner or the room.
"First off yes I do work with your mommy at Seattle Grace. I am a nurse there. I even watch her work sometimes. I know all of you Aunts and Uncles and I also know Chief Webber. I did know your Uncle George, and I do have some interesting stories, but can you explain what you mean by salad it around? So your mommy can stop laughing over there." Eli answered chuckling.
"My mommy favorite salad is a tess one. I have a hard time saying that word, so instead I say salad." the little man explained.
"Ok thanks for the information. I might need to know that if I ever take her out anywhere. Do you want to sit next to me on the couch? My legs are kind of falling asleep, because I've been sitting on them like this." Tuck nodded his head yes and then helped Eli get to his feet. The boys soon joined Miranda who was relaxing on the couch, reading a book. "Hey Tuck, why do you look so sad?" Miranda asked him suddenly seeing his frown. She had thought that the meeting had gone well, and she wondered what brought the frown on so fast.
"Will be having a sitter then too, huh? Daddy don't let me go to dinner with him and Sarah." Tucker said sadly.
"No? Now that's just mean, if you could go out to eat to any restaurant in Seattle which one would it be?" Eli stated. Tucker turned toward Eli and said excitedly, "Luna Park Café! I want to go there! Can we go mommy, I am hungry are you hungry mommy?" He asked her innocently.
"We can go get you a chocolate malt there, since you ate dinner an hour and a half ago. Silly boy."
"YES! Mr. Eli do you have a lot of change? We are going to need change, for the big music box that still works. My grandpa said that he had those around when he was a kid, and that the music box was a classic. He let me pick out a lot of songs, he always had the right amount of change." He said in a rush as he was racing to the front door to grab his shoes. He had gone out in his pajama's before, when his mom was called in at night, so she had gotten him pajama's that looked like regular clothes. All she would have to do is put his shoes on him and she could get him out the door quickly.
