After an all-day tour around their home, Brock And Michael eventually fell asleep as they were very tired. Helen found them snoozing on the couch as she just giggled and put them both to bed.

Suddenly, she heard someone knocking and opening the door. She seemed delighted as she approached the door.

"Dearie, you're back!"'she exclaimed as Cranky closed the door. "How's work?"

Helen gave her husband a glass of water as he gulped it whole.

"Fine as usual." Cranky replied. "Except for the fact that kids kept messing with my moustache and calling me 'Resident Hairy Lollipop Holder'."

"Hee hee!" Helen giggled as she gave him a kiss on the forehead. Cranky seemed to blush a little as he smiled his first smile that day.

"What's up, darling? You seemed very excited." Cranky asked as he noticed an unusual extra broad grin on his wife's face.

"You won't believe what happened today, dearie!" Helen replied enthusiastically.

"What is it?" Cranky asked, curious.

"We have a foster son!!!" Helen squealed as Cranky stared at her blankly.

"WHAT?!?" Cranky exclaimed.

"Shh! The kids are sleeping!" Helen shushed as she took Cranky upstairs to Brock's room.

Helen gently opened the door as Cranky saw his son sleeping with an unfamiliar kid.

"Who is he?" Cranky asked, a little mad.

"I found him all alone in the playground." Helen replied. "His parents don't want him anymore."

Cranky let out a groan. He didn't seem pleased.

"Horrible." He said.

"I know, right, dearie?" Helen asked, softly patting him on the back. "He seemed rather familiar though, don't you think?"

Cranky looked at Michael as he frowned.

"Sort of." He said. "A little."

"I know, right, dearie?" Helen replied. "I know I've seen this face somewhere before..."

They went silent as they thought for a while.

"Well, I haven't taken my dinner yet, darling." Cranky broke the silence. "Have you taken yours?"

"No." Helen replied. "C'mon, dearie, let's go downstairs."

As soon as Helen closed the bedroom door and their footsteps died away, Michael opened an eye.

"Familiar...?" He seemed to mumble. "Have I been here before...?" He then went back to sleep.
