"Alright, I found Riker and Rocky, they're in the jungle gym, Rydel's in the salon, and Ryland's with you. So where's Ross?" Said Mark, looking around the play area for his son. He wasn't too worried, Ross could only go as far as the play area allowed, it was just a matter of whether he was in one of the play shops, the arcade, or the jungle gym with his brothers.

The family had booked a birthday party for Riker and Rocky, since their birthdays were only a week apart, in one of those kids play places called Kids Village. The party had finished, but none of the kids wanted to leave yet, so they stayed for a little while afterwards to let the kids play in the open gym. They could stay there as long as they'd like, just as long as the party room was empty.

Stormie sighed. She noticed Riker racing through one of the tubes, and called out to him once he got to the netted part.

"Riker! Riker, sweetie, look at mommy!" She called. Riker stopped and sat on his knees in front of the net.

"Yeah?" He called back to her.

"Honey, where's your brother?" She asked.

"Ross?" Asked Riker, tilting his head to the side. Stormie nodded. "He's in here with me and Rocky."

"Can you send him out please?"

Riker nodded his head and darted back in the direction of which he came. A minute later, Ross emerged from the mouth of the biggest slide and ran over to his mom.

"Hi mommy." He smiled his adorable little boy smile.

"Hi sweetie." She smiled back. "Go with daddy and Ryry to the potty, ok baby?"

Ross nodded and grabbed his father's hand, skipping along while his dad led him to the bathroom.

Stormie watched the boys leave, then settled back to watching the jungle gym for glimpses of her two birthday boys. Then, a scream that sounded too much like Rydel's sounded from the area where the play salon was. Stormie rushed to her feet and ran over to the play salon, only to find her little girl curled up on the floor sobbing, a little boy standing across from her shocked. Stormie scooped Rydel up in her arms and tried calming her down.

"Delly, what happened?" Asked Stormie. The little boy - he was about Riker's age - seemed to find his voice.

"I'm so sorry, Miss." The boy started to explain what had happened. "I wasn't looking where I was going and I ran into her and knocked her down. She hit her eye on the corner of the table on the way down. I think it's bleeding. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" He rambled, close to tears.

"It's alright. Just watch where you're going next time, ok?"

The boy nodded and darted off.

Stormie brought Rydel over to where she was previously sitting and placed her in her lap, lifting her chin to get a better look at her eye. There was a decent cut under her right eye, not deep enough to need stitches but it sure looked painful. Stormie could tell Rydel would have a black eye for the next week or so along with the cut.

"Honey, you have to stop crying," Stormie said, trying her best to calm Rydel, "it'll only make it worse."

"What happened?" Asked Mark as he made his way over to the girls.

"A little boy accidently ran into her and she hit her eye on the corner of the table as she fell down." Explained Stormie.

"I'll go find someone and get a first aid kit." Said Mark, "Ryland, stay with mommy. Ross, go find your brothers and get them out of the jungle gym." With that, Mark ran off in search of a first aid kit, while Ross went into the jungle gym to search for his brothers.

A few minutes later and the three missing Lynch boys made their way over to their mom and sister, Riker a good foot or two ahead of the others. Stormie's heart broke even more at his heartbroken expression. She knew that both Riker and Rydel loved each and every one of their siblings with all their hearts but they shared a special bond with each other.

As soon as Riker sat down next to his mom, Rydel climbed into his lap and continued sobbing her little heart out onto his shoulder. Riker wrapped one arm around her while the other stroked her hair calmingly.

"What happened mommy?" He asked. Stormie continued to explain to the boys what happened. Just as she was finishing up, Mark came back with a tube of Neosporin and a band aid.

"Look Delly, Its a Hello Kitty band aid." Said Rocky. Rydel lifted her head off of Riker's shoulder and looked at Rocky, then her dad. Thankfully, that calmed her down a bit, her crying reducing to sniffling.

Stormie took some tissues out of her bag and wiped Rydel's tears away, dabbing some Neosporin on the cut, then covering it with the band aid.

"Alright, lets get back to Mamoo and Papa's." Said Mark. Riker Stood up, Rydel still in his lap, and tried carrying her out to the car. He made it about two steps before almost toppling over. Mark caught him and took Rydel out from his arms, allowing him to walk next to them and hold Delly's hand.

They settled in the car and made the 45 minute ride back to Mamoo and Papa's. Within the first ten minutes, all the kids were passed out in their booster and or car seats - Ryland first, then Rydel, cuddled up with her blankie, followed by Ross, Rocky, and lastly Riker.
