492 Toms POV
The next day, Danny was smiling a lot, pulling me around with him happily. He helped me in the bath, and got changed into his jammies too, smiling at me widely. "now Tom, Carrie wants to spend some time with you today. Thats alright, isn't it?" Danny asked, his hand on my cheek, stopping me from looking around. I nodded, I liked spending time with Carrie, she was funny. "good, come on!" Danny pulled me downstairs, sitting me on a cold table.
"want breakfast?" Danny asked, warm things coming round my middle again as he stood in front of me. My insides grumbled loudly, it didn't feel good. "shhhh!" I told it, I didn't want anything, and if Danny heard, he would make me have something. "no, no shhing, I'll get you some toast." Danny put his finger to my face, stopping me from talking. "no grumbles!" I said as soon as I was let go. "there were grumbles, don't lie. You need to have this, and then you and Carrie can play, alright?" Danny brought over some brown and red things. He broke a bit off, and made me eat it, all of it until there was nothing left. "there we go, good boy. I'm proud of you." Danny put his lips against my hair, making my tummy do a funny flip. "ha, funny flippy tummy." I smiled a little.
"aw Tommy, is your tummy being funny?" Danny smiled, the warm things around my middle tightening. "flippy." I answered, leaning into his warm body. "aw." Danny pulled me closer, warming me up. "morning guys! Ready to have some fun together?" Carrie appeared, jumping up on the table. "yeah, can't wait, can you Tommy?" Danny let me go a bit, I made a whining sound and grabbed him, he couldn't go anywhere! Danny never went away from me, ever! "alright, I'm here." Danny came closer, pulling me up and onto my feet. "right, well I wanted to make cookies today, and I was thinking that you could help me. Would you like to help me?" Carrie asked, wild yellow hair flying as she pushed it back.
I nodded a little, it didn't seem too bad, helping make cookies. "yay! Thank you Tom, this is going to be so much fun!" Carrie jumped over, her arms going around my neck in a hug. "good Tommy, I'm proud of you. Now lets get out everything we need, yeah?" Danny made me take out all the bowls and things we needed. More people came in, the tiny yellow haired boy who was always here bounced over and helped out too. The muscled black haired man stood behind him, holding him tight.
Everyone did most of it, I liked to stand and watch, looking around at the people here. I knew all of them, I think, but I didn't know their names. "right, cookies are in the oven and baking, I think we're done here!" Carrie smiled, rubbing her hands together. "yay! Well done Tommy, you did well there." Dannys lips were next to my cheek, warm things around my middle squeezing tight.

"I'm proud of you Tommy, you did so well there!" Danny praised, kissing Toms cheek, making him let out a small giggling sound. It lasted a small second, but it happened, and I hadn't seen Danny smile so wide in weeks because of it. "fluffy!" Tom suddenly writhed out of his lovers arms, dropping to the floor and crawling after Marvin again as the cat went outside. "don't go too far Tom!" Danny called, running out the door after the boy, all of us following along behind.
"Danny, sit down and relax. Toms fine." Harry pulled Danny back, before he started following Tom all over the garden, like he would have done in the house. "but he needs supervision!" Danny whined, looking worried. "Danny, he's in the garden, and the four of us are all out here, and you can watch him from here too. There's no need to follow him around like that, not when you can see him at all times." Harry pushed Danny into a chair, forcing him to sit still. "but, he's ill, he doesn't think, he could hurt himself!" Danny bit his lip, trying to get back up again. "he may be, but Danny, we're in a garden for starters. There's nothing here really that could hurt Tom, also, if he does hurt himself by accident, then he should then learn to avoid that thing, so after a few tears, he'll be fine." Harry answered, pushing Danny into his chair. "you can't wrap Tom into bubble wrap to protect him from all harm, let him run and play for a while." I sighed, I did admit that I wanted to clear the perfect path way for Tom to follow before he got himself dirty or hurt. But it would be good for Tom to run around freely for while without Danny shadowing him.
"fine, but if he hurts himself, I blame you guys." Danny gave in, sitting still, watching Tom crawl around on the grass, exactly behind Marvin, for once his head managing to stay still, focusing on Marvin. "he's focusing...actually focusing...wow." Danny commented, smiling when Tom giggled as Marvin rubbed against his face. "Marvins moving, so he's always moving." Carrie explained, sitting on the table, watching her brother crawl across the grass. "hmm, I guess, but still... he's actually focused on something. Its a bit of a shock." Danny shook his head, like he was clearing his head of thoughts, before going back to watching Tom normally, making sure he was fine. "Tom stay away from the bushes! The field isn't ours!" Danny called as Tom wandered just a little too near the bushes at the end of the garden.
Tom didn't listen, I don't think he heard, like he didn't hear a lot of things. "I better go get him. He's not going to listen." Danny sighed, getting up. "no, I'll do it. You always get him out of harms way. I'll get him." I stopped him, smiling and getting up, jogging over to the small blonde. I wanted to at least try and talk to him anyway, it had been a while since we had had spent any sort of time together. "hey Tom, you might want to move away from the bushes. This is where our garden ends." I smiled, crouching down so I was a similar height to Tom. He didn't seem to notice, just carried on crawling around the bushes. "Tom, you've got to move, just away from the bushes, come on." I held out my hand for him, and got nothing.
"hey, come on, you're getting all dirty here. Danny will have a fit when he finds you all dirty." Now that made Tom look round to face me, though his eyes were glassy, like he was looking through me, not at me. He also looked a little lost, his eyes gave just a hint of being lost, like Tom didn't know where he was still. "there we go, come on. Come back onto the grass, alright? Its cleaner there." I tugged a little on his hoodie, wondering how the hell Tom wasn't baking in this hot weather, "aren't you hot in that?" I asked, pulling Tom round to face the other way. He smiled and ran after Marvin again, getting himself filthy as it started to drizzle with rain.
