Julian squeezed her hand. "I went to the supermarket and bought an apple, a ball, a car, and a dog." They played the game all the way to the ice cream store, and Tommy visibly calmed down, though he remained a little reserved and quiet. When they were parked, Julian helped him get out of the car, and held his hand as they entered the store. They all ordered their ice cream, and Julian made sure to guide Tommy's hand to the ice cream cone as he handed it to him.

Alicia and Lily both watched Tommy carefully as Julian handed him his ice cream cone. Lily slowly licked hers as they all sat down. Alicia stroked Tommy's back. "What do you want for lunch bud?" She asked
-
He shrugged slightly. "I don't know. But I want to be home."
-
Alicia smiled. "Then we can go right home as soon as you finish."
-
He nodded and quietly ate his ice cream.

Lily looked at Tommy. "I can read you Dragons love Tacos when we get home." She said with a smile.
-
He looked at her and nodded, scooting a little closer to her.

Lily wrapped an arm over his shoulder and Alicia smiled at them. How did she end up with two wonderful children? She smiled at Julian and squeezed his hand as she licked at her own ice cream.

Julian squeezed back, watching the kids. Tommy laid his head on Lily's shoulder, staying close to her. Julian looked at Alicia. "We should probably call doctor Collins soon."
-
Alicia nodded. "Do you want to or should I schedule appointments for all of us?"
