"Baby, relax. Everything will be okay, I promise," she thought, while casting sympathetic eyes in his direction.

Stephen nodded subtly, and followed the rest of his family on the journey to room 416. Upon knocking on the door, a smiling face greeted them instantly.

"Don"t tell me all of you are housekeeping?" Grandpa laughed, before looking at every one of us. "You sure do wear some fancy uniforms just to change our sheets!"

"Very funny, Dad," replied Theresa, rolling her eyes while the twins snickered.

"Oh, Chris and Chase, you both are looking sharp," replied Grandma, appearing behind her husband and taking her chance to play the ogling matriarch.

"Thanks, Grandma," they replied lazily, as one, before the rest of us shuffled into the room.

"Grace, I see you are still sticking around," teased Grandpa, as soon as he caught sight of her.

"Haven"t found any better options yet," joked Grace in return.

""Atta girl," he laughed. "Just keep on looking, I"m sure you"ll find someone!"

"Both of you, cool it," replied Stephen with a smirk, glad to have a little fun to take the edge off.

"Is that Stephen?" came another voice from inside the room. Stephen looked past his grandparents to see his Aunt Linda standing near the edge of her bed, having already greeted her sister. Aunt Linda was a near carbon copy of his mother, both sharing similar dark hair and brown eyes. That"s where the similarities seemed to stop. Whereas his mother had always been rather on the thin slight, Aunt Linda could more accurately be described as plump, or full figured to be polite. Her personality was always a bit more reserved than Theresa, who was a bit more open and out-going.

Still, she had always treated him well, and like a second son to her considering how close he was to Danny. With how much time he had spent at her house, he had almost considered her a second mother.
