At the Martinez family's crib.

The lights in the living room were still on.

Trenton was snoozing on the couch.

Derek grabbed a thin blanket, gently covering Trenton.

Trenton was a light sleeper. Derek's movement woke him up.

He opened his eyes and asked, "Is Owen still not back?"

Derek replied, "He might not be coming home tonight. If you need him, you can give him a call; there is no need to wait. It's late; it's the wee hours."

Derek softly nudged him to go rest in his room.

Trenton said, "I didn't realize it was this late."

Trenton pondered for a bit, then said, "I'll go rest. If Owen comes back, wake me up early."

Derek said, "Sure."

Derek immediately helped Trenton to his feet.

Just then, they heard a car outside.

Trenton sat back down, gesturing for Derek to go check.


Derek agreed and hurried out.

Sure enough, it was Owen Martinez.

Owen was a bit surprised to see the lights in the living room still on. Seeing Derek coming out to greet him, he guessed his grandpa was waiting for him.
