While all hell was breaking loose in the office, that would soon be Edwina’s, Theo was having the time of his life. Michael knew that this time was limited as he knew that Theo would soon move upstairs into one of the other rooms and share a room with one of the other boys.  He wouldn’t be able to come and visit him. Theo would be okay now, he would forget him, and Michael would be alone again....

Soon, Theo was sound asleep....

MICHAEL- “Sweet dreams, sweet boy. Little wren. Until we meet again....”

THEO- “MIKE MIKE!”

KATE- “Would you please stop calling me that!  My name is KATE, now you either get in your bed for your nap, or I will just lock you here in your room and you can put yourself to sleep, little man!”

THEO- “NO!”

KATE- “You certainly got that word down. Okay, I warned you. This is the last time I have to do this thank goodness! I am locking you in here so you don’t wander around the halls. You WILL go to sleep sooner or later. I am out of here, young man. Goodbye and good luck to you!”

Kate turned away from the toddler and left the room, locking it behind her. She would give the key to Edwina, Theo would be her problem after today!

KATE- Thank Goodness it is over...FINALLY!! Now we can get out of here.”

CHARLES- “I first need to talk to Edwina...”

KATE- “Fine, but then can we leave?  I am so happy, Charles!”

CHARLES- “Me too sweetheart, me too...hey?  Who are you?”

KATE- “I’m Kate silly...”

CHARLES- “That kid over there he looks like....”

Michael disappeared as quickly as Charles saw him....

KATE- I don’t see anyone, Charles, Call Edwina in, let’s get this over with!!”

EDWINA- “Seriously, Kate?  I taught you everything and now you are leaving with MY fiance?”

Kate sat there and said nothing, she just looked ahead at Charles.

EDWINA- “So you are not going to talk huh?  So mature.”

CHARLES- “Edwina, listen it wasn’t going to work with us, and now I have a chance to leave this god-forsaken place and town. You will be well taken care of here. They want you to stay on as director.”

Edwina was still looking at Kate.

EDWINA- “Fine...go and take this slut with you.  But do not EVER come back on this property or I will have you both arrested!”

A few weeks later, all the financial things were settles, and the state completely took over, but they had no intention of running the house...

WALT- “Miss Baker, they want you to stay on, there is a yearly salary of 35k and you can reside here in the home.”

35k was good money, more than she ever made before, and no rent?? This would be perfect.

EDWINA- “I thank you Mr. Ebert.”

WALT- “You keep the house running, and making money, there will be pay incentives for you as time goes on...but in twenty years, the State will sale the property.  At that time, if you are interested, you can purchase the home and continue to run it, or allow it to sell.”

EDWINA- “Why only twenty years?”

WALT- “That was the agreement with Mr. Penngrove.”

EDWINA- “Twenty years is a long way off, I will worry about that when the time comes.”

WALT-  “I will be your sate representative, if you need ANYTHING, please feel free to contact me.”

“There we go, all clean now, with a clean diaper...you sure are a cute little guy. Did I hear them call you Theo? Well, little Theo, I am Michael. We are going to be best of friends, I can just tell!”

Michael reached down to pick Theo up, and he could have sworn the baby smiled at him....

MICHAEL- “So what now? Now, don’t fuss, I know I am not used to holding a baby, but I am sure you will like this....”

He stood and rocked him, and he quieted down again.

MICHAEL- “You are no bigger than a little wren. You like singing little wren? I only know one lullaby.... but I will try and sing.  When you get bigger we can sing it together.

Lullaby and Goodnight

[mwgaybachelor]

“Hey there little guy, what’s all the fuss about?”

Once Theo heard a voice he began to quiet a little, but still was not happy.

“Oh, I think I know what’s wrong with you. You need changed, I can smell you!  Come here let’s get you a clean diaper.”

[mwgaybachelor]

KATE- “Theo...please stay out of the closet....why do you insist on trying to get in there all the time!?”

THEO- “Mike Mike”

KATE- “Of all the words, all you can say is Mike Mike...where the hell did you get that from.  Come on we need to put you down for your nap. I have to meet with Charles soon. Mr. Estep is here.”

THEO- “NO! Mike Mike”

KATE- “Did you just tell me no!? I don’t think so young man, now you get over here right now, it is time for your nap!!”
