Letter to the universe.

To whom it may concern,

I respectfully refuse this as monday morning. I don't like it, and I don't want it, please take it back and give it to me in a couple of days. Whoever thought, that was a long enough weekend is clearly on something, and I don't like it. Please don't make me go to school.

I hate you mondays. Sooooo hard.

Salome.

Hiro picks him up and carries him to the bathroom. "Is this your toothbrush?" He points to one that's obviously too big.

"Nooo!" Giggling, he shakes his head and points to the cutest, littlest tooth brush there. "Jonba's toof brush."

"Oh, that is so cute!" He picks up the toothbrush, runs it under some water. "Do you have your own toothpaste?"

Why yes, yes, he does. Reaching down he picks up bubble gum flavored, children's tooth paste and hands it to Hiro.

"Ok," he says as he puts a bit of the toothpaste on the brush. "Is this the right amount?"

Nods and then bares his teeth so that Hiro can brush his teeth. Salome, who has gotten dressed, walks to the bathroom and leans against the door to watch the two of them.

Hiro begins brushing Jonba's teeth gently. He's never done anything like this and he doesn't want to poke little tender gums. Unconsciously he's making the same face Jonba is with his teeth all bared. "Open wide."

Despite the fact that the boy is two (and some change) he is very well behaved and sits still when Hiro brushes his teeth. Of course he thinks it is very funny that the man makes the same faces as mommy does when she brushes his teeth too. Obediently he opens his mouth wider so Hiro can get the few teeth in the back. He sneaks a wave to mommy when he thinks Hiro isn't looking.

Hiro diligently cleans the back teeth, but he sees the wave. He gives Salome a wink When he thinks he's done, he fills up a little cup for Jonba and holds it out to him. "Ok, now it is time to rinse."

Jonba takes the cup and takes a drink of water before shaking his head around. Since he doesn't know how to gargle he shakes himself till he's dizzy and then spits the mess into the sink. "Jonba Done!"

Hiro grabs a towel and dries off his face, the cup, the mirror and his glasses. "Let me see those choppers." He smiles, showing all his teeth.

Jonba flaps his arms wildly because he wants to get down and go play, but still obediently grins to show off his pearly white teeth. "Oh very nice, you two have done very well."

He puts Jonba down. "We will be going soon." he tells him. "I hope I did a good job," he tells Salome. "I have never brushed a child's teeth before."

Jonba takes off running, slams into Salome's legs and then bounces away. "Well you know they are just going to fall out anyway, so if you do a bad job then who cares?" Grinning, she steals a kiss before taking his hand and motioning for them to go downstairs.

"Oh, that is right. They are baby teeth." He feels rather stupid about that. He puts his arm around her waist as they head down the stairs.

The limo is waiting outside when they get down to the main floor. "Should we tell Gretchen where we are going? So she does not worry?"

"Hiro, darling, I love you and I never, ever want you to change." Smiling she kisses his mouth and then looks deep into his eyes - happy to be able to maintain eye contact with him. Finally, she pulls away and takes a step backward.

"Get the boy, and I'll tell grandma that we are going."

He takes her face in his hands and kisses her back. "I will stay exactly as I am today." He squeezes her hand as she goes to talk to Gretchen.

"Cookie Monster, where are you?" he singsongs. He knows approximately which direction Jonba headed, but he didn't see where he ended up.

Salome goes and searches for her grandmother to tell her what they are planning on doing, smiling broadly.

Jonba is on the front porch, playing with his trucks, when he hears Hiro he giggles and gets up ducking behind a flower pot to hide from the older man. He peeks over the tops of daisies to watch out for Hiro.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are," Hiro says, looking around. He sees he trucks, but no Jonba. "Are you hiding, Cookie Monster? I will fiiiind youuuuuuu."

The driver snickers a bit. He can see Jonba and Hiro and he thinks it's all very silly. He has kids of his own.

As soon as Hiro gets close enough, Jonba jumps out and growls his tiny fingers out. "Rawr! otousan!"

He wraps his arms around Hiro's leg and giggles madly.

Hiro jumps back a little when Jonba jumps out. "You scared me, Cookie Monster! You came out of nowhere!" He starts walking around with Jonba attached to his leg. "Oh no, I have been caught by a Cookie Monster! He is going to gnaw off my leg!"

"He's never going to let you go, you know." Salome steps out on to the porch, grinning at the two of them. Jonba continues to laugh and hold on to Hiro's leg, he jumps off when he sees Salome and rushes to hug her quickly. She scoops him up. "Ready to go, darling?"

He smiles and makes a bow towards the limo. "Our carriage awaits, m'lady." The driver smiles and opens the door of the limo for them. It has a DVD player in case Jonba wants to watch anything while they go. Hiro knows that most kids don't like long car trips after they've explored the interiors.

There are a couple of blankets on the seat. One of them is obviously for Jonba as it's smaller and has pictures of Elmo on it. The other is multicolored and more than big enough for both of them. "It is sort of chilly tonight," he says.

Jonba climbs in because, hey, he's a kid and kids love to climb over everything and this is just another chance to climb around and break himself! He makes a bee line for the Elmo blanket and shows it to Salome and then Hiro as soon as they climb into the car.

She crosses her legs and holds Jonba as he points out the picture to Hiro, pointing to the muppet. "Elmo, Jonba love Elmo. otousan like Elmo?"

"Otosan likes Elmo, too. That is why I got his blanket for you." He takes the big blanket and throws it across all of them He thumbs the intercom and tells the driver to take them to IHOP.

The big limo heads into the night. The inside is warm and comfy.

"Do either of you want something to drink?"
