Rated T
Summary: B/A married with Triplets, John, Haley and Tracy Goren. The continuing saga.
Memorial Day
Sergeant Robert Goren of The Criminal Investigation Division of the U.S Army was sitting at his desk lost in loss … loss of his fellow comrades. He scanned his archives, old photos of a time long ago. A sound shook him from his reverie … it was John … pint size John Goren, the runt of the Trips.
"Hey my little man, come up here on your dad's lap and look at some pictures with me."
Bobby picks up John, whom crawled into his dad's study to find him, and places him on his lap.
"Look at your old man. I was just a pup in this picture. See how young and handsome I was."
Both father and son turn toward the door when they hear a creek in the floor.
"You're still handsome … old, but handsome."
Bobby lets out a hardy laugh … John follows suit and begins to laugh a laugh that resembles his daddy's but a pint size version of it. This makes Alex laugh, which leads to Tracy and Haley's investigation of the commotion in their dad's study. They all begin to look at the pictures of his days in the Army … it saddens him.
"Honey … what's wrong?"
"A lot of these men are dead, Alex. Do you realize that Monday is Memorial Day? I've lost my Mother, my Brother and so many friends. Let's not even talk about my father … either one of them. Most people would say that my life was cursed from the start, but look at us, look at our beautiful healthy babies. I'm truly blessed. He leans over and places a sweet kiss on his wife's lips. Thank you for loving me, Alex."
Alex has tears in her eyes. "Thank you for loving us, Bobby."
He looks down and shakes his head as if to say … he's the lucky one in this deal and he knows it, but she counters.
"You know Robert Goren, if you would just look back in time, you should remember that I wasn't happy until you said those three little words to me."
"Want some skittles?"
"Yeah … those three."
They pick up the Trips and put them to bed. They enjoy some "alone" time and Bobby has an epiphany at the wrong time.
"Oh God, Bobby … there … OOH … THERE … YES … right ………. OH! ….
"A Memorial Day COOKOUT!"
He stops making love to her and starts making a grocery list. Alex pulls her hair out in frustration.
"Ah … excuse me … ADD boy … wife, naked in your bed … hello. Hotdogs on the grill can wait … I would like to relish yours right now!"
Bobby looks down at his very erect hotdog and makes love to his wife, but he is a multitasker … and a good one at that. He's able to please his wife while planning his menu for the Goren's First Annual Memorial Day Cookout.
