After dinner, Paris' homecoming celebration continued and Prince tried to talk to Paris, but she avoided him 의해 sitting closer to Michael and her aunts. But she could not avoid Blanket,who crawled over to her demanding her attention. Soon it was bedtime and everybody began to leave. Michael thanked his family, Diana, and Elizabeth for all of their help. He even forgave Joseph for going to the police station and hugged him goodbye.

Grace, relived that she still had a job took the children upstairs to get them ready for bed. She bathed all three children,helped them brush their teeth, and dressed them for bed. Then she read their 가장 좋아하는 bedtime story, Good Night Moon,took them to their rooms, and kissed them good night. When she was finished, she walked downstairs to help Kai clean up the kitchen.

After the children were in their beds, Michael went to 키스 them goodnight and to talk to Paris.

"Paris?"

"Yes, Daddy?"

"Come here, Princess. We need to talk.", he said.

She walked over to him and he picked her up and sat down in the rocking chair. He set her on his lap and sighed.

"Paris, why did 당신 leave the house today without permission? 당신 almost gave me a 심장 attack."

"Because I ran away, Daddy.", she said sadly.

" 당신 ran away? Why?"

"Because Prince hates me."

"Why do 당신 think that, baby?"

"He told me that he wished that I would disappear and never come back because I told on him."

"Why did 당신 tell on him?"

"Because we were playing in the living room and he jumped on the 침상, 소파 and broke the picture on the table, so Grace punished him."

"Well, she was right doing that, but 당신 should have been punished too, young lady because 당신 know better don't you?"

"Yes, sir."

He sighed deeply and ran his hands through his hair.

"Paris, please don't do what 당신 did today ever again. Can 당신 promise me that 당신 won't run away again? If I ever 로스트 당신 again, I don't know what I would do."

"I promise, Daddy."

"You know now that I have to punish you, right? I don't want to do this, but tomorrow 당신 can't play in the playroom. I want 당신 to stay in your room and think about what 당신 did, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy."

"As for Prince, he's in trouble too and he has to stay in his room too tomorrow. Its getting late and 당신 better go to 침대 now."

"Good night, Daddy.", she said and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good night, my little Princess.", he said and kissed her on the cheek.

Then he left her room and went to talk to Prince. He told Prince that he was in trouble for playing in the living room. Like he had been with Paris, he was very calm and he did not raise his voice 또는 threaten to beat him. Prince listened to everything that his father had to say and accepted his punishment without protesting. Then Michael kissed his son good night and left the room.

After Michael had left, Prince snuck out of 침대 and went to talk to Paris. He opened her door and closed it behind him. Then he walked over to her bed.

"Psst Paris?", he whispered.

"What?", she said sleepily rubbing her eyes.

"I need to talk to you."

"Can it wait until the morning? I'm sleepy."

"I tried to tell 당신 this-", he began.

"Why are 당신 talking to me anyway? I thought that 당신 hated me."

"I don't hate you. Well, I do hate 당신 sometimes because 당신 drive me crazy and 당신 get me in trouble-"

"Well, I hate 당신 too because 당신 are bossy and 당신 always try to tell me what to do.", she retroted.

"Let me finish please."

"Fine."

He sighed and said,"But 당신 are my little sister and I'm s'pposed to 사랑 you."

"Okay I 사랑 당신 too even if 당신 are bossy."

"I'm going to get out of here before Grace 또는 Daddy catches me. Good night, Paris."

"Good night, Prince."

After he had left the room, Paris sighed and went back to sleep.
