Chapter 4: Count On Each Other

W: Okay boys, I have some work you do so what do you guys want to do?

C: Daddy we got homework today.

W: Really?

J: Yep.

W: So you're going to do that now okay?

C: Okay we will. Let's get our things.

J: Will you help us because my daddy always helps me with things I don't understand?

W: Sure thing, now go get your things.

M: What about me daddy, I don't have work.

W: Do you want to colour something?

M: Mm-hm.

W: Okay then go get your colours and I will get you something.

M: Thank you daddy.

The boys kept themselves busy with their work occasionally asking William how to do their work. When they finished they all went to watch tv while William sat at the dinner table doing his work instead of in his office. Just then a car pulled up and Michael arrived.

J: Daddy! (He cheered when the door opened)

Mi: Hi bud, watching tv ay?

J: We did our homework already and Uncle William even helped us.

C: And we had lunch.

Mi: Tasty, did you leave me some?

J: Uh-huh, Uncle William did.

Mi: And where exactly is Uncle William?

M: In the kitchen.

Mi: Okay, I'll go talk to him quickly and then we can go.

J: Oh, okay.

Mi: Don't worry, you'll see everyone again.

...

Mi: What are you smiling about? (He asked entering the kitchen)

W: You.

Mi: Why?

W: Oh no nothing.

Mi: No tell me. (He demanded also smiling now)

W: You come in and immediately start lecturing the poor boy.

Mi: I did no such thing, I was just asking him a question.

W: More like multiple questions, so maybe you were interrogating him instead.

Mi: I heard that there was food for me somewhere.

W: Yeah, I'm sure that there is food at your house.

Mi: I was told that there was food here, now.

W: Oh in that case...

Mi: Yes?

W: Haha, it's in the microwave.

Mi: Thanks.

Michael finished his lunch and then he and Jake left. The boys had bath time and then went to watch tv while William made a few phone calls. When he finished, he made dinner for them and then they sat down for dinner, they talked for a bit while they ate and then he read them a story just before they went to bed. William then went to go watch tv before going to bed himself.

The week went on without any troubles and everyone was enjoying themselves.

—-Friday—-

William brought Mathew to school and just as he was about to leave he heard Michael calling him name so he turned around and leaned against his car waiting for him to get there.
