When Howie, AJ and Alexanderia walked into the restaurant the guys and Krystal was sitting at the tables in the back.
"Hey everyone" said Howie.
"Good morning or is it afternoon, whatever you guys know what I mean" said AJ taking Alexanderia from Howie and placing in-between them.
Everyone just looked at the pair because they seem a lot happier than they did the night before.
"We're fine, what about you guys?" said Kevin looking from AJ to Howie and with everyone else looking at AJ and Howie to.
"We're okay, did the waiter or waitress come by yet?" said AJ looking around.
"No, we're still waiting on the menus," said Brian in a confused manner.
Alexanderia was moving from side to side in her chair AJ and Howie learnt that this was her bathroom dance.
"Do you need to go to the bathroom?" asked Howie.
Alexanderia nodded her head.
"I'll take her," said Krystal who held out her hand for Alexanderia to take. Before Alexanderia took Krystal's hand she looked at AJ and Howie who shook their heads to let her know that it is okay. She took Krystal hand and they headed to the washroom.
"Be careful that she doesn't get her cast wet" said Howie.
"I know Howie relax" said Krystal with a smile.
Howie and AJ watched Krystal and Alexanderia go in the bathroom and then they turned to face the other guys who were looking at them with confused looks on their faces.
"What?" said Howie and AJ.
Nick decided to speak "we're just worried about you guys."
"We're fine guys, everything is okay" said AJ.
"It's just that last night with everything you guys were so upset but now you guys look happy, it just doesn't seem natural" said Brian.
"We want to act like everything is okay when Alexanderia is around. You know kids can tell when something is up," said Howie.
"Okay we see your guys point and will try and do the same, right guys?" said Kevin looking at Brian and Nick.
"Yeah" said Brian and Nick.
"What do we have to do today Kev because I need to talk with Mrs. Doubtfire" said AJ.
Howie looked at AJ when he said I, didn't AJ mean we because he wanted to be there too. Alexanderia was his daughter too.
"AJ don't you mean we" said Howie glaring at AJ.
"Yeah that's what I meant, we" said AJ giving Howie an apologetic smile.
"Let's see since we're playing three shows we space out the interviews for all three days. Um, today when we get there we have sound check and then, wow we have nothing else."
"Then after sound check we have a talk with Mrs. Doubtfire. But during sound check, I think that Alexanderia should be there," said AJ.
"Sure, if you think it is necessary I don't see the problem she shouldn't be in the way, though" said Kevin.
"Kevin when has Alexanderia ever been in the way" said Nick.
"Yeah, you're right, sorry."
"It's okay Kevin," said Howie who wasn't really sure if it was okay but didn't want to let Kevin know.
Krystal and Alexanderia came back from the bathroom and as soon as they did the waitress came with the menus. They ordered and halfway through their meal Marcus came over and handed AJ the page with Alexanderia's medication. AJ thanked Marcus, who said "No problem, just add it to the list of favours that you own me." Which just made the others laugh.
The task was trying to get Alexanderia to take these pills.
"Come on sweetie, as soon as you take these pills your arm won't hurt anymore, I promise," said AJ.
Alexanderia shook her head no. AJ took a deep sigh and then said to Howie "you try it D, I give up."
Howie took the pill bottle from AJ and looked at Alexanderia "Alexanderia, sweetie look it's not that hard and you
won't taste anything. Watch me" Howie took a Tylenol from his own pocket put it in his mouth and took a sip of his water.
"See," said Howie opening his mouth and lowering it so Alexanderia could look in. "It's all gone and you just have to do the same thing. Papa will do it with you, okay?" Howie had his fingers crossed hoping that she would.
Alexanderia nodded her head and she copied everything that Howie did and she managed to swallow her pill.
"There you see Daddy was right when he said that it won't taste bad."
Alexanderia nodded her head.
AJ had a trouble look on his face because Alexanderia could take her medication when Howie asked but not when he asked. But he quickly put a smile on his face just in case one of the others saw the look.
"Guys we should be heading back to the buses, we still have another hour left," said Kevin.
They called the waitress over for the bill and once it was paid they headed to their buses.
