Once they were in the hallway AJ let out his frustrations "who does this woman think she is? I mean how dumb does she think we are? I don't trust her? I don't trust her but we can't fire her because there is still not enough reasonable cause. She could sue us. Do you know what we need? We need one of those Nanny Cams that they show on TV, when parents think that the baby-sitter is harming the kids. Yep, that's what we need."

"J, let's just return to our room and have you calm down before we go pick up Alexanderia. I just think that the state you are in now might make her nervous."

"I think that, that's a good idea."

Meanwhile Nick and Alexanderia were eating a snack; Nick had ordered all kind of food from room service. If Brian were there he would have a fit because there was nothing healthily in what Nick order. But Nick didn't care because he thought that with everything that Alexanderia had been through that she deserved to have some junk food.

Once AJ and Howie got to their room AJ fell on the bed. "You know that were alone and we haven't been alone in so long but I'm so tired I don't think that I can do anything anymore. I know that having a kid was going to be hard but I get the feeling that we are dealing with a little more baggage then other parents have to go through."

AJ was surprised when he didn't hear anything from Howie; he looked over and found that Howie was asleep. AJ took off Howie's shoes and put a blanket over him.

"Get some rest you deserve it" and he kissed Howie's forehead. AJ curled up beside Howie and closed his eyes hoping his tiredness would over take him and he would be able to forget all the problems.

Alexanderia was having a good time with Nick. To Alexanderia Nick didn't seem like an adult but a big kid. Nick and her have been playing video games and then they had an indoor water fight. Nick covered her arm with a plastic bag and to make sure she didn't feel weird he put one on his foot. And told her that this was their protective armor. He knew that the other guys especially Brian wouldn't agree that having a water fight in an hotel room was a good idea. But it was something that he wished he got to do, so why not let Alexanderia have the chance.

Now that they have finished eating their snack, Nick was tired. Alexanderia was tiring him out. He couldn't believe it, he was getting old "I guess this is how Kevin feels," he thought to himself with a laugh. Maybe he could convince Alexanderia to take a nap with him.

"Hey Alexanderia, why don't we stop for awhile and take a nap. Cause Uncle Nick needs his nap, okay?"

Alexanderia nodded her head and walked over to Nick. Nick bent down and picked her up. "After our nap I'll call your Daddy and Papa to come and get you, okay?"

Alexanderia nodded her head. And Nick carried her to his bed; he took off her shoes and pulled back the covers so she could crawl in. Nick was getting ready to go lay down on the couch when Alexanderia reach out for him.

"You want me to stay here?"

Alexanderia nodded her head yes.

"Okay, I'll stay but I worn you that I snore loud, can you move over a little bit, thanks."

Alexanderia wanted to tell Nick that it is okay that he snores because her Papa snores too.

"Alexanderia get your ass over here now" said a voice of a man sitting on a couch.

Alexanderia walked over to him wondering what she did wrong. She listens to her mother and stay away from Bret and not to make him mad. She played in her closet all day. Alexanderia had her head down when she stood in front of Bret.

"You little bitch, look at me."

Alexanderia didn't look up at him. She then felt a slap across her face. After the slap she looked at Bret.

"Next time I tell you to do something you do it, you hear me?"

Alexanderia nodded her head yes but when she saw Bret hand ready to come across her face again, she closed her eyes and when she open them instead of Bret in front of her it was Mrs. Doubtfire.

"Now you listen here you little brat. If you tell on me I swear to God that I will beat you until your Fathers can't recognize you. I'll make sure that they know that it is your entire fault and that they send you to place for bad little girls. Do you understand?"

Alexanderia nodded her head. Another slap came across her face "what did I tell you about nodding your head. Next time you do that, I'll give you a slap."

"Now do you understand me?"

"Yes" Alexanderia, said in a voice above a whisper.

Then Mrs. Doubtfire turned in to Bret hitting her and then Bret turned into Mrs. Doubtfire hitting her and it went on like this. Back and forth between Bret and Mrs. Doubtfire hitting her.

Alexanderia let out a scream and called out for Howie.

"PAPA! PAPA! PAPA! PAPA!"

The scream scared Nick who jumped out of the bed. He picked Alexanderia "Alexanderia, sweetie what's wrong? Can't you tell Uncle Nick?"

"PAPA! PAPA! PAPA! PAPA!"

"Okay, I'll call him" Nick put Alexanderia down and headed to the phone.

"Come on, come on, answer the damn phone."

"Hello" said AJ in a groggy voice.

"J, you and D need to come over here now! Alexanderia is screaming for Howie and I don't know what to do. You guys have to come quick!"

"Calm down Nick, we're on our way."

"Please hurry" said Nick before he hung up the phone. He picked up Alexanderia again who was still crying and screaming for Howie. "Don't worry Papa and Daddy will be here soon."

AJ woke Howie up "D, come on we got to go there something wrong with Alexanderia."

Howie jumped up and put on his shoes. Him and AJ ran to Nick's room and there, they could hear Alexanderia from the other side.

AJ knocked on Nick's door and a frantic Nick answers the door. Howie and AJ walked into the room and Howie walked over and picked up Alexanderia.

"Shh, shh, it's okay Papa is here now and he won't let anyone hurt you okay."

AJ stood there not being able to move, he watched Howie and Alexanderia. Glad to hear Alexanderia talk but calling out for Howie not him, not for both of them but just for Howie. He was getting that feeling he has been getting lately. He asked himself "why did she only call out for Howie? I'm her father! She's suppose to call out for me!"

Alexanderia was calm now but Howie was still rocking her back and forth. AJ decided that he should go over and see how she was doing.

"Hey, sweetie, how are you doing? What happen?" asked AJ taking Alexanderia form Howie. He was glad that Alexanderia let him, he brushed off his feelings from before. Maybe she had called out for Howie because she knew that he needed some connection. "That's it" AJ told himself.

"Nick can you tell us what happen?" Asked Howie.

"I don't know we were taking a nap and I was woken up by her screams. I think that she had a nightmare. I didn't know what to do. I tried to calm her down but she just kept calling out for you. So I called you."

"You did the right thing, nothing to worry about. Look she's okay now," said AJ.

"Nick why don't you get some more rest before the show. We'll take Alexanderia back to our room. We got another hour before we have to be at the arena that should be enough time for you to rest," said Howie.

"I think that I might down that. Alexanderia I did have fun with you today, we have to spend time together again, okay?"

Alexanderia nodded her head and as soon as she was done she place it back on AJ's shoulder.

"Thanks, Nick" said AJ and Howie.

"No problem guys" said Nick closing the door after they left. Wondering how AJ and Howie do it.
