As Michael left, he gave Henry a hug, relishing the feeling of holding someone who could one day be running a billion-dollar empire as the future CEO. Imagine the bragging rights—telling everyone you once held little Henry in your arms. How cool would that be?
Michael soaked up this moment of pride before passing the chubby little guy over to Cooper, and watched the uncle-nephew duo stroll off. Cooper, with Henry in his arms, was grumbling the whole way. "Your mom wanted me to take you out, but we're doing our own thing. If she wants you back, let her come find us at the amusement park. Nephew, you want to skip the mini-train? Let your uncle take you. And another kiss for you," he said, giving Henry another smooch. Henry, used to it by now, just opened his mouth like he was ready to bite back whenever someone kissed him.
Mia tried calling her brother to get her son back, but Cooper wasn't answering. Frustrated, her husband became the obvious target for her ire. "Andre, do you know where your brother took our son?"
"The amusement park," Andre replied nonchalantly.
Mia was floored. "You knew and you let him? Come get me, we're going to fetch our son. It's crowded, and what if something happens? Cooper's on his own. What if he needs the restroom? He can't even go into the nursing room. You know your son, he can't walk, just stands there bawling and plops down in a tantrum. Get home and pick me up, pronto."
Andre quickly wrapped up what he was doing and got to his feet. "I'll be there soon."
He drove home, and before he even parked, Mia was waiting at the door with Henry's bag, freshly showered and still smelling like soap. She hopped into the passenger seat. "I’m turning in early tonight. Agree or not, it’s happening," she declared with a mix of tiredness and resolve.
Andre cranked up the heater, worried his wife's damp hair would give her a chill. Looking at the packed canvas bag she carried, he asked, "What's all this?"
"Everything for Henry—food, drinks, diapers, wipes, a change of clothes," Mia replied.
"Little guy sure needs a lot," Andre remarked, steering the car towards the amusement park.
Meanwhile, at the park, Cooper was in a debate with the ticket seller, while Henry was entranced by a singing, spinning mini-train. "Why so strict? I told you, I'd hold my nephew. I'll keep him safe; that's on me," Cooper argued.
