"Surprise!" Both Henry and Michelle call out in perfect unison, clearly having practiced on the taxi as they made their way towards Ted's new home. What's certainly not practiced is the way Henry goes in a beeline straight towards Lucky instead of Ted, sinking into his knees as he ruffles the dog's chest. "Daddy's got a dog!" He cries out in clear excitement.
Michelle, looking a little dishelved like anyone who's got out of a plane normally does, holds their son's luggage as she smiles apologetically at Ted. "You definitely trumped our surprise with this one," she points out with a chuckle. "Henry--"
Before she says anything, their son is up on her feet again, wrapping his arms tightly around Ted's waist as he clings to him.
