COFFEE, HE desperately needed coffee. Newton started a small pot as he put bowls, cereal, and milk on the table. He cut up some bananas for Eric and Rosie, doing his best not to inhale. He hated them with a passion, so he avoided bananas if he possibly could. But it seemed he was in the minority as far as his family was concerned.

Cartoons began playing in the other room. “Eric, turn off the television and come in here and eat.” He knew his kids so well. “Rosie, stop playing in the bathroom and come down. Breakfast is ready.” Yup, he had eyes in the back of his head.

The kids trooped in. “Did you put…?” Rosie started. “You did. I love bananas.” She grinned at him because she knew he hated them.

“Yes. The things I do because I love you.” Newton kissed the top of her head. “Now go ahead and eat your breakfast. Remember that Chase is going to come to the zoo with us and we’re going to get some lunch, but not until later. So eat well.” He poured milk for Rosie and then let them eat, trudging back upstairs so he could get cleaned up and dressed. Damn, he needed coffee.

By the time he was dressed and cleaned up, the kids were done, and he put the rest of the food away. Both of them had put their dishes in the sink, which was a God-ordained miracle. They were watching cartoons, so Newton took the chance to sit down in his favorite chair for a few minutes with his coffee. His ankle was getting better, but he’d put his foot brace on, and that would provide added rigidity and support if he was going to be walking through the zoo.

How long Newton relaxed, he wasn’t quite sure. It was a wonderful morning, and Newton had had one hell of a week, so he closed his eyes and rested until the doorbell rang. Eric hurried by him to open it and let Chase inside.

“Can we go to the zoo now?” Rosie asked as she bounced next to the sofa.

“Yes. We can go. Turn off the television and put your toys away.” He got up, using his cane to take some of the weight off his foot.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Chase asked. “It hasn’t been that long since you hurt yourself.”

“I know. But I promised the kids we’d go, and they’ve been looking forward to it. Since it’s autumn, Eric can do more because it isn’t too hot or cold, and I don’t want to deny him if I can. I’ll have to take it easy, and I can rent a scooter if I have to.” Newton smiled. “I’m glad you’re going to come with us.”

“It sounds like fun. I haven’t been to the zoo in years.” Chase hugged him tightly as Rosie and Eric got their things.

“Do I need my monitor?” Eric asked.

“Yes. Get your bag so we can put it in the car.
