It was the day after Halloween and Ana was cleaning up the remaining of the mess from the night before. Christian was in his office doing some last minute work before he spends some time with the kids.
Teddy and Phoebe came racing in the room, laughing as they passed Ana.
"Teddy. Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Yeah" Teddy handed Phoebe the ball and told her to meet him outside.
Ana sat down on the couch and Teddy took that as a sign and sat down beside her. He knew that she wanted to talk about last night. "Did you think about what happened last night?"
"Yeah, I did and I am sorry that I let that happened. You trusted me to look after her and I let you down." Teddy said with sincere. He loved his sister and he wanted to make sure she was alright, but last night was something he knew he couldn't take back. "She could have gotten hurt or worse and I wasn't there to protect her."
"We always trust you when it comes to Phoebe and we know that you would look after her no matter what, but what we didn't like about it was the fact you didn't call us when she disappeared. We could have helped and we wouldn't have gotten mad."
"I thought about it when I was going to be last night and I think maybe it's not a good time for me to look after her when I'm alone." He confessed as he looked up at his mother.
Ana understood. Teddy was always years before his time and he was able to think about a situation and come up with a solution. He gets that from his father.
"Ok, I understand. Maybe we can come up with a way to make you feel like you can help us out that will work for everyone."
A smile appeared on Teddy's face. "This doesn't mean, you're off the hook. I am going to talk with Phoebe and let her know what she did was not acceptable. Why don't you go talk to your dad and tell him what you told me?"
She gave her son a hug and he got up and walked over to his office. Ana smiled towards her young son and took a minute to flash back to the day he was born, and now he's all growing up. She was proud of him and she couldn't change it for the world.
