Ezra woke to a sharp noise and, pushing the blankets away from his body, looked down and saw a bump on his tummy. AWWWW! There was something in his tummy! Waaaaa! Monster! Little whimpers of fright escaped him. He poked at it then realized that it was just his teddy that somehow got shoved up his nightgown. Ezra took the stuff animal outa his clothing.

Lightning flashed and thunder growled and when the bit of noise was over, Ezra was hiding under his bed with his teddy clenched tightly to himself. He didn't wanna be here by himself but he promise to be brave. Daddy Chwis and Vin went patrol and gonna come back later. "Ezwa'll be bwave!" was the fierce whisper in the dark room.

The heavy sky again broke apart with light and noise, overwhelming a certain green-eyed boy. "Let's go to Unca Buck! I's pwotect you Pudgy."

So hugging his teddy, in a little nightgown, and wearing little down filled moccasins on his feet to keep them warm, Vin made them for him and he was so happy, he made his way down the scary hallway on the second floor of the Saloon. Ezra didn't know why Buck didn't wanna share a room but Buck says he's got business too and Ezra wonder if business is over for Buck. Lightning and thunder took the little boy unawares and that soon brought the argument in his mind over bother Buck to rest. With a squeak, Ezra ran the rest of the way to Buck's room. The shadows were moving and they frighten Ezra, who thought they were monsters coming to grab him.

Ezra knocked softly on the door but heard strange noises inside Unca Buck's room. His already large green eyes widened further. Opening the door slowly, Ezra looked at the bed and saw a giant shape thrashing. "Waaaaaaaaa! MONSTER!" Ezra was frozen on the spot and when the words left him, he was sure that whatever had ate his Unca Buck was gonna finish him off.

The large lump uttered a little scream too and a muffled "Ezra" could be heard. This was not good. The monster knew his name. "I's save you Unca Buck." Ezra grabbed something and started to whack at the lump.

A naked women slipped out of the piled of blankets and huffily took Buck's robe and threw it on. "See me next time without the kid Buck." She turned and walked outa the room, imagine having been walked in on by a kid and then hit!

Buck's rumpled head appeared also and he quickly snatched some pants and put them on. Ezra just looked on. "Unca Buck?" was the innocent question.

"What li'tle pard? Whatcha doin here for?"

"Scared Unca Buck. Why ya and lady nudie?" He stared at him.

"Nudie?"

Ezra nodded his head. "Mamma had fwiend wif paintin of people wif no cloths. They say it's a nudie."

"Oh, nude." Large innocent green eyes looked at him inquisitively. "Why ya scared?" Buck asked trying to steer the conversation away from that topic.

"It loud and there's monsters." Mournful eyes stared at Buck. "Why's you and lady nudie? Do you do that wif Daddy Chwis and Vin? Why I not sees then? No like Ezwa?" Lightning flashed and thunder sounded again. Ezra screamed and jumped into bed with his Unca Buck. He feels safer with his Unca. "Unca Buck. Why's was you and the lady nudie?"

"Well Umm…do you know 'bout the birds and the bees Ez?"

"Bees hurt you and birdies make stuff dirty."

"Yeah well, a man's like a bee and a women's like a bird and well the bee stings the bird to make something or have a bit of fun…ya get it?" Ezra shook his head. "Well when a man stings a women, she's gotta…they get naked. Then if she's stung real good…" He looks at too innocent eyes stared at him. "Um…the stork is then told. Them's big birds the storks and it brings a baby to the women who was stung good."

Ezra puzzled it out and nodded that he understood. Buck was just too happy that the explanation was over and cuddled Ezra in the next explosion of sound and light.

Ezra was wide awake and waiting for his Daddy Chwis and Vin to come back. His little feet encased in moccasins were nice and toasty and Unca Buck was like a big doggie that snore beside him.

The door to Buck's room was burst wide open with the two people Ezra was waiting for. They were about to yell that Ezra was missing when they caught sight of him on the bed. He threw himself outa the bed with a sleeping Buck and said excitedly to Vin. "I's had adventer. I sees Unca Buck and a lady nudie! Unca Buck says he was like a bee and stinging a lady and says the stork'll come wif a baby for Unca Buck!" Ezra squealed out. "I's gonna have a little fwiend and teddy too!" Ezra had come to this conclusion from Buck's talk last night and was happy to share the fact that he was gonna have a friend to play with.

Chris and Vin however were both shocked still after Ezra had uttered that he saw Buck and a woman naked. Chris's roar threw Buck outa his very nice dream. "WHAT! BUCK! GET YOUR ASS OUTA BED AND EXPLAIN THIS NOW!"
