It wasn’t that far to the park and Charlie had his chalk broad écriture profusely on it all kinds of four digit numb3r problems once at the park she started to look for the others. David came to them and bent down to Charlie’s level after greeting Margret “hey little man what have toi been up to I see toi are in your PJ’s” he paused a moment “oh and Margret don, Colby, Ian, and Nikki have two months off cause special circumstances and we’re over there” David added, pointing the direction to the other. Charlie looked up at him and pouted big chiot dog eye’s pain filled them as the numbers came plus and more. “Is he ok?” David asked concerned. “Ya when he first started seeing numbers he multiplied four digits but three months after that he got tests and stuff like that but five months later he was two mois away from his 4th birthday like he is now so I’m guessing the numbers are taking their hold which gave him headaches” she a dit in a scared kind of worried voice. “Oh man wow I didn’t know he got a headache with all the numbers” David a dit looking at the pained expression on the toddler. “Mommy I wants out” a dit the small voice that came from Charlie in the stroller. “Ok baby hold on just a minute and we’ll be near a sand box and the others soon baby ok?” she a dit s’embrasser him on the forehead in which he just nodded his head yes. Once they got their don, Ian, Colby, Allan and even the girls were playing baseball. Once Margret let Charlie out of the stroller he ran over to the sand box leaving his chalk board in the stroller. Charlie quickly threw two hand fulls of sand out of the sand box and continued the building of his equations and as soon as he was done. He ran over to Meghan who was on the sidelines yelling for Amita to run faster and grabbed Meghan par the hand and dragged her over to the sand box and as soon she got there she saw the equations. She had no idea what she was looking at “very good Charlie” she a dit in a not knowing voice he rolled his eyes and she looked puzzled. “Meghan yews kidnap case.” Charlie a dit So suddenly that made her eyes go wide. “what did toi say Charlie” Meghan asked. Charlie looked at her “this my quation for bois d'if, if, yew kidnap case done, done, now Donnie won’t be mad at me” a dit Charlie still looking at her puzzled expressions. “Ok? That’s good right umm ok” she a dit and he rolled his eyes again. “The quation state it east L.A. address 12 and fiwst Downey stweet seconde house on the wight” a dit Charlie who sat down in the dirt and looked back up at her now knowing face. “you are sure Charlie” she felt weird asking Charlie now that he was a toddler. But Charlie nodded his head yes vigorously. “ok then I believe you” Meghan got out her phone and called Merck and told him about the tip and got back off the phone. “Does this mean Donnie not mad anymore” asked Charlie hopingly. “Ya I think he is probably proud of toi Charlie” a dit Meghan ruffling Charlie’s hair “by the way how did toi know about the numbers huh” asked Meghan. It was Charlie’s turn to look confused “I found them on the couch…. Awwe the sky is cwying” he a dit reaching up for her, as the sky began to cry as he put it. “Hey toi guys it’s raining lets go” she a dit picking Charlie up. Charlie put his passi in his mouth and reached up putting his hands out to catch the rain drop and looked into his hands at the rain and showed it to Meghan “look” he a dit smiling at her. “Ya I see that Charlie” Meghan a dit setting him down in the stroller, while Margret buckled him up. “Come on Charlie time for accueil ok” a dit Margret putting the capuche, hotte on the stroller up so Charlie wouldn’t get wet. Then they put him in his car siège he looked at them sleepily and waved bye to Meghan as the rest of the boys got into the car don had to ride in his mother’s lap as there wasn’t enough room in the back siège to sit once they sat up the car seat. “Mom once we get accueil can we have some biscuits, cookies cause me and the other guys are hungry” a dit don looking happily at his mommy. “Sure baby but after toi wash up though” a dit Margret looking back at her sleeping baby. “Ok we’re here boys ok Colby and Ian tomorrow toi will be with David and he will call your parents to come get toi Donnie take your Friends inside while we get Charlie” Allan a dit unlocking their doors. Margret walked to the front porch and unlocked the front door while Allan went to the back siège to get Charlie who woke up and looked at Allan with a pout. “Daddy” a dit Charlie reaching up for Allan to pick him up. “Hold on a seconde Charlie let me get the umbrella” Allan a dit raising it to block the rain as he picked up Charlie. “Hungwy” a dit Charlie laying his head down on Allan’s shoulder. “Once we get inside toi can have some nourriture ok Charlie” a dit Allan putting the umbrella down at the door. Charlie fell asleep as soon as he hit Allan’s shoulder. Don, Ian, and Colby where running all around the house screaming and playing with their FBI badge’s which were real while Margret was trying to put things away and contain the boys. “Boys if toi do not calm down I will separate toi in different rooms” a dit Margret in full mother mode and this made them stop dead in their tracks. “Maggie could toi take him I’ll go get nourriture started” Allan a dit handing Charlie over to Margret. “Sure, come here my little darling” Margret a dit taking him and rocking him back and forth and s’embrasser him on the forehead. “MOMMY CAN WE GO OUTSIDE” yelled don in an asking tone. “Certainly not Donald Eppes it’s pouring outside do toi want to catch a cold ou something” asked Margret in an authority voice. “Ok mom” don a dit glumly then brightened his face “mom can we bring Charlie up stairs and play with him” asked don jumping up and down. “Sure after he’s had a nap” Margret a dit rocking Charlie back in forth humming a lullaby. “Fine mom” don a dit and motioned to his Friends to follow him upstairs. A few moments later dîner was ready “DONNIE DINNER” yelled Allan up the stairs. “K DAD WERE COMING” don yelled back.
Weeks had past and none of them showed signs of turning back any time soon. They tried to reach Ian and Colby’s parents but couldn’t so they were taking turns switching between the Eppes and David’s tonight they were at the Eppes along with the girls and almost all the agents because it was Saturday family night they decided would be at the Eppes’s house and a plus was that it was Donnie’s birthday party a few weeks after his actual birthday and he was now nine. “Happy birthday to toi happy birthday to toi happy birthday dear Donnie happy birthday to you” they all sang except Charlie who mumbled over all the words. “Mom I already blew out my candles let’s eat cake then presents” don a dit rolling his eyes just a bit. “Alright, alright Donnie here” Margret a dit handing out pieces of cake to everyone. “Mommy!!” screeched the three an old crying and throwing a fit. Margret rushed over there frowning “what’s wrong Charlie” she asked concern in her voice. He pointed to his head “hurts want it stop now” he screamed out and his nose started to bleed and his eyes rolled back. “ALLAN CALL FOR AN ambulance NOW” she screamed as she picked up Charlie who started shaking. All of them looked at Charlie in shock. Don came closer “what’s wrong with him mommy” he asked his lower lip quivering. “I don’t know Donnie. But I’m sure he’ll be fine baby toi just s-stay her—here with David and the others he’ll be ok” Margret a dit but couldn’t hold the fear from her voice. “Promise” don a dit looking straight into Margret’s eyes seeking truth in her words. She smiled a little “promise” she answered back and joined her pinkie with his and they shook pinkies on it. Don leaned down to Charlie “you’ll be ok buddy just wait you’ll be as strong as superman” he whispered. Charlie’s breathing was now coming in gasps once the ambulance came and took Charlie to the hospital Margret went with Allan took the car leaving everyone else behind.
Don, Colby, Ian, Amita and Nikki were sitting around the table, tableau waiting. The cake still in the middle of the table, tableau while they just stirred their peace’s of cake with a fork. “You think he is dead because he had cooties” Nikki whispered quietly to Amita. “No his daddy got him vasinated remember” Amita a dit looking at her cake. “Do toi think he will live” asked Colby to David. “I’m sure he will be fine Colby. Charlie is a tuff little dude he’ll make it” David a dit sitting in the computer chair. Don’s head was still down but he started talking “this is my fault I should have told mommy and daddy that he was sick when I got him up from the couch” he mumbled his words so David and Meghan had to strain to hear him. “Don this is not your fault toi were just excited for your party ok it’s no one’s fault” Meghan a dit confidently enough that don actually believed her but he still blamed himself for it. “B-but if I would of told mom that he felt hot he would be ok not sick and his immune system is weak because of that stewpid doctor who gave him pills that didn’t make him better they made him worse doctors are supposed to make it better not worse” don a dit looking up at Meghan with the same big brown eyes that Charlie usually had even in his thirties. “Well don some time’s people make mistakes and sometimes it can make things worse” a dit Liz crouching don to don’s nine an old level. “Nu uh they are supposed to make it better” don a dit crossing his arms. “Well yeah but some time they make a mistake that is bad and they feel bad they do but they can’t undo it until the stuff gets out of his system” Liz a dit looking don in the eyes. “ya but this is Charlie no one makes a mistake with him without answering to me” don a dit his brows furrowing with anger. This made Liz Meghan and David smile even as a kid don was really protective. “what Liz is trying to say is we all make mistakes but it gets better” David elaborated. “not everyone makes mistake like Charlie he hasn’t made a mistake in math ever” a dit don confidently. “ya I know he hasn’t” Meghan a dit sympathetic look. Allan returned soon after looking as though he aged another ten years. “DADDY IS HE OK” don yelled “is he coming back home” he kept asking questions and plus questions. “no he isn’t not until the blood test comes back Donnie” Allan a dit frowning. “did they tell toi anything Allan” asked Liz worried Meghan and David looked intently at him. “just that he seems to have respiratory infection a bad one” Allan sighed. “well when is he coming accueil daddy” don a dit jumping up. “not for a while son” Allan a dit sadly. “oh” don a dit and sat down quietly mumbling “happy birthday to me” and laid his head down on the table. Meghan patted him on the back “I’m sure he’ll be ok” she a dit thankful that she sounded plus confident than she felt. “hey man toi still got presents to open” David tried. “NO” don shouted as David reached for one “we wait for Charlie” he finished and David sat down the present a little box that was poorly wrapped that a dit (from: Charlee to: dony) signed in little kid hand writing. ‘oh he thought he must’ve none it was from Charlie’ he sighed.

A few weeks later Charlie was out of the hospital still a little weak but better enough to come accueil that when everyone gathered around and watched don open presents. He opened David’s first which was a little plastic water gun/ the Meghan’s she gave him five new baseballs/ Then from Liz it was plastic badge that snapped onto his belt/ then robins it was a baseball cap/ then from Margret and Allan a pair of baseball cleats/ then the ones form Colby and Ian it was two muddy baseballs that they played with/ and finally he came to one that a dit (from: charlee to: dony) he opened it very carefully there was a key chain he and don found at a park and a toy soldier that Charlie had buried in the back yard when he got mad at don and finally five toy cars one a dark blue racing car, two a Porsche that was black with red flames, three a green monster truck, four a silver box car. And five a blue Prius each thing he gave don had little dots of mud on them which suggested he found them all out side. “Where did toi get all this stuff buddy” don asked poking at all the stuff. “well fowe week’s now we went to pawk and each week I take to hand fulls of diwt out each time I would find something like those car’s see this one” he pointed to the green monster truck “I found the first time we went to the park before bringing Meghan over their I thew two hand fulls of diwt out and saw something shiny I was going to give it to toi then but wealized youw bifday was coming each week I would fined another car until last weak youw bifday” Charlie explained only coughing three time. “awe thanx buddy” don a dit hugging him. Don played with his new stuff all night and all morning until breakfast he let Charlie sleep in the same room as him and even sit par him during a movie that night everyone was asleep Nikki and Ian changed back to adult’s the suivant night was Colby and Amita who thought Charlie was the most adorable thing ever. Then finally don and Charlie who woke up in lit with each other.
They didn’t know how it happened but once they saw Margret it didn’t matter and they all determined it was actually and experiment gone write cause Margret was back with them they had dîner there every Saturday don and his team and Margret was happy to have her two adult boys back even though they sometimes still acted like kids and when it came around this time each an they would turn back into their younger selves and Margret and Allan both went through the same experiment and turned into the young mother and father ages and the rest of the team to
They lived happily crazy after
The End finally
