Here's more of the story but Jean along with Sam's parents are worried about Sam but his kids help cheer them up plus Sam has to get an operation.

That night, Benny, Chia and Jean were at Eagle Mountain but keeping watch over Sam as the doctors said it would get worse before it got better making Jesn worry, because he cared about his best friend plus knew Jay and the Mini Eagles missed him, as it was his turn to watch him.

"H-Hey Jean, how're things going, with the others?

Especially the Mimi Eagles?" he said softly coughing trying to get out, but fell.

"Sammy they need you but you have to get better first, but I know you'll pull through as you're pretty tough." he said.

"Yeah but I hate it here, and lonely when you guys aren't here." he said coughing as Jean massaged his back.

He was trying to be brave for his sake but was getting choked up, as he felt him hug him and it was comforting him.

"Ssh it's okay, go rest up." he said as Jean was asleep on the bed.

Chia had seen this but was knowing that Sam would get better soon.

But she knew they both needed cheering up and knew the Mini Eagles could help.

"Brandma!" tbe Mimi Eagles said getting excited seeing Chia hugging her legs as tbe female beatnik eagle cbuckled.

"I know you guys miss your Daddy but he's really sick and needs cheering up, Uncle Jean too.

You guys got any ideas?" she asked.

"We can try." Liberty said as she smiled.

They were making cards and various things but putting on their own version of their father's segments on the show and a debate they'd made up as Chia was recording it chuckling at the antics knowing the older ones would be stunned as Kermit heard Constantine chuckle.

"Tbey really care about Sammy, huh?" he said as Chia nodded.

"Well Sammy adopted them, so he is their father.

They are wanting him home but he's pretty sick and that's something they shouldn't see as they look up to you guys." she told him as she saw Jean here.

"Sam is getting an operation to remove what is making him this sick." he said as Tgey were out of the room so the Mini Eagles wouldn't hear but Sneaker was as Yankee had asked her.

"They will be very happy, to hear this." she said entering the auditorium seeing the Mimi Eagles huddle around her.

"Your Dad is getting an operation to make him better, that's what Jean said." she said as they were excited making her happy.

Chia wondered why Tgey were so happy but had a feeling Sneaker had told them the news and knew that Sam would like what Tgey had been doing.

"I'm going back there, and show him the video." she said.

Jean nodded as he was quiet but going there after dinner but hoped things would go well but this reminded him of something, when he was getting back surgery and Sam had been so afraid he might lose him, that was the feeling he had with this but pushed that thought away.

"Uncle Jean it's okay, as Dad will get better!" Yankee said.

He smiled at her optimism as her siblings were like this but they were being so tough, like their father seeing her go play leaving them.

"How's a certain Grumpy Eagle doing, as we're worried about him?" Kermit asked making sure the others weren't around.

"He's getting an operation to take care of the sickness, but he's scared.

I can sense it in him, but we have to be brave for his sake since he wants to be with the Mini Eagles and watch them grow.

And to be with me." he answered softly.

"I see but this is Sam we're talking about, he is pretty tough but there's a softer side to him, one he doesn't show a lot?" Kermit asked.

Jean nodded in reply, knowing his friend hid his softer side from the others unless he was around like the wonderful hug they had shared, lost in the memory.

"Jean, you okay?" the amphibian asked.

The question snapped him back to Earth, sighing.

"Sorry I was remembering something special, when s certain eagle hugged me and said he was never happy, until he met me and I think he was right." he replied.

Kermit understood but knew that after meeting Jean, Sam had changed as he was trying to be social, or talk to them more instead of hiding or being by himself, and knew he would be okay, unaware a certain Bad Frog was listening.

"Constant, get out of here!

Now isn't a good time, for whatever prank you pulled now!" he snapped.

"Ooh somebody's in a mood!" he said leaving.

"It's okay, at least Sneaker keeps him in check." he heard Jean say.

He went to check on the Mini Eagles, knowing how Sam cared about them but saw them out like lights knowing they had hope, their father would pull through.
