Ficlet One: Hero's Week

Kyle Age 7: Martine Elementary School

"Hero's are not always people who fight crime or fires, they can be anyone in your life. We are going to go around the room and tell everyone who our real life hero is and why. I will start. My hero is Grandmother because she was always there when I needed her. Okay, Ari why don't you start."

"My mommy because she loves me and my sister!" cried Ari, without having to think about it.

"Good job Ari, Emily why don't you go next." Miss. Johnson said.

"My sister k-k, she teaches me new things!" Emily said.

"She must be a great sister then. Who is your hero Kieran?" Miss Johnson said.

"Daddy, he was a solder!" Kieran said.

"Can you have two hero's teacher?" Kyle asked tentatively.

"Your Daddy is very brave then. Kyle, why don't you tell me who your hero is?" Miss Johnson said.

"Of course, you can ton of heroes in your life."

"Well, my Daddy and Papa are my hero's because they gave me my forever home. They also save people all over the country from bad people." Kyle said, glancing up at his teacher while thinking about his loving parents.

Indeed Kyle was a very lucky little boy. He had two loving parents who helped him grow and mature into the little man he was. Sure they were gone often, but they always called and sent him postcards from where they were. Best of all was that when they were gone Grandma Morgan or Auntie Penny always came to stay with him. They always gave him treats and present that his parents never gave him.

"Hi Daddy," Exclaimed Kyle, as he stumbled to Spencer to be wrapped in a hug.

"Hi sweetheart, how was school today? Did you do anything interesting in class today?" asked Spencer, lifting his son into his arms and hugging him tightly.

"Well we talked about Hero's today! We got to say who ours were and I said you and Daddy were my hero because you gave me my forever home."

"Thank you sweetheart, but you're my hero because you agreed to become our forever child without really knowing us." Spencer responded after a moment due to becoming chocked up.

"I agree with daddy." Derek said, embracing his family tightly.


Authors Note:

I hope you enjoy the fun and fluffy clips into the life of Kyle, Spencer, and Derek's life. I will post these whenever I find inspiration. This one I wrote a few weeks ago after we did "Hero's Week" with the after school program kids I work with.

I will send these to the beta to edit and will update them when they have been updated.

Happy Halloween, R&R!
