Summary: T.J. worries about what to read to his son. #14 in the Haven post-ep collection.
There's one terrifying moment when T.J. realizes that the Velveteen Rabbit features a child dying of scarlet fever, but he stops himself before reading that part aloud, and nothing happens. He becomes intensely selective about what he reads to Aaron - he has no idea what his Trouble will do with Dr. Seuss, but Hop on Pop seems like a bad idea.
Eventually, T.J. realizes that Aaron just likes the cadence of his voice, so he reads gardening magazines and cookbooks to his son. And he finds out that his Trouble makes a pretty tasty batch of chocolate chip cookies.
