When AJ answer the door to let Nick in he wasn't very happy. Nick gave a little laugh." "Hey AJ, how you doing?" "I was doing fine until you called and said that you were coming by." "Hey you can blame it on Kev and Bri. They were the ones who told me to come over and I quote 'why don't you go bother Howie and AJ'." "Yeah well, wait until the next time I see them. Since your here come on in." Nick walked in carrying bags of stuff.

Howie was sitting on the couch. "Hey Nick, how is going?" "I was bored so Kev and Bri told me to come over here. Anyway, where is Alexandria I got some stuff for her." "She's upstairs taking her nap, what do you have for her?" said Howie. "Well Brian and Leighanne told me to give her this doll. Kevin and Kristin told me to give her these books. And I brought her this." Nick pulled out a playstation 2 and some games as well including a Barbie game. "Nick, you brought a 4 year old playstation 2" said AJ. "Hey I have to get her into training now. I need someone to play with, I only have two weeks to get her prepared." Howie and AJ shook their heads.

When Alexandria awoke from her nap, Nick couldn't wait to show her how to play video games. But for some reason she didn't want to leave Howie. As soon as she came downstairs she stood in front of him, so Howie pulled her in his lap. That's when Nick began to show her the toys that he brought with him. "Okay, I brought you this playstation 2 because I need someone to play with me. So let me show you how to play a game." Nick got up to take Alexandria from Howie but she turn her head away from Nick." AJ and Howie just looked at Alexandria. Nick felt a little hurt and sat back down. "You know I think that I will be going now but I'll see you guys tomorrow" and Nick got up and went to the door. AJ said "I'll talk to him" and he ran after Nick. "Hey Nick wait, I know that you felt hurt back there. Don't worry about it, its not you. Alexandria just woke up but tomorrow bring your player or whatever it's called and play with her on the breaks. Hey me and D may try later and play a game with her, okay?" "Yeah thanks, J."

When AJ walked back in he saw Howie holding Alexandria. "Here Babe, I got to go to the bathroom." When Howie passed Alexandria to AJ she wouldn't let go of Howie. "Come on Alexandria go to Daddy, Papa has to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." Howie tried to pass Alexandria to AJ again but the same thing happen. Now it was AJ's turn to felt hurt he wasn't hurting a little bit he was hurting a lot. "You know you can stand out side the bathroom while I go, okay?" Alexandria nodded her head. They did just that.

Howie came back downstairs with Alexandria in his arms. AJ was sitting in a chair channel surfing. Howie saw the look on his face and knew that AJ was pissed. So he and Alexandria sat on the couch. Both of them were thinking about the reason behind her actions. She was fine before her nap; maybe she had another nightmare. What are these nightmares about? Why did she go to Howie and not AJ? 'I'm her father, dammit!' thought AJ.

When it came time for supper, Howie went to put her down in the chair and she still would let go. "Come on Alexandria you got to sit down and eat. I'm not going anywhere, see I'm sitting down next to you and so is Daddy." Alexandria took her seat and they sat down to eat supper. Howie and AJ didn't talk to each other and since Alexandria doesn't talk, there was no talking.

Alexandria fell asleep while they were watching television. Howie put her in her bed and then went back downstairs. "Babe, I forgot to tell you this before. Last night when I went back to our room Alexandria was sitting up in bed waiting for us." "Yeah" "It wasn't the fact that she was waiting for us it was the look on her face. It was like she was scared that we weren't going to come back." "Do you think that's what her nightmares are about?" "I really don't know but that could be one of the factors. Who knows what happen to her." AJ got up "GOD I wish her know who her mother is or had some more information about her." Howie got up and put his arms around AJ. "I know me too but we have to deal with this one day at a time." "You know that I couldn't do this without you." "Of course you couldn't" said Howie with a laugh. "Let's go to bed, so we can see how much sleep we can get before Alexandria comes in the room. Do you know how many times I got kicked." "Hey daughter like father, now you know how I felt." "I don't kick in my sleep. Yeah you do the first couple of times I thought that I was going to be black and blue." "Oh D, you better run." Howie began running up the stairs and AJ followed.
