The characters belong to CBS and I make nothing from this.

Tony sat down on the couch in their house and thought about the last two weeks. He knew that the kids were suffering because he wasn't able to move on. He couldn't figure out a way to dig out of the hole that he was in and decided that he would just talk to Abree and Liam, they were more than old enough to understand what he was saying. With that decided he called and left Abree a message to come for dinner tonight and a family meeting after and called Liam down from upstairs and told him that they would be discussing his troubles at school and some other matters after dinner that night with his sister.

As Liam left the room, Gabe and Rett came running through the house yelling, "Pappa, Pappa guess what happened today?"

"Well, I don't know, what happened?", Tony could tell that the smile on his face was huge but just looking at these two could swamp him in love. The boys were so excited about something but he had no idea what.

"Aren't you gonna tell me what has you so excited?", Tony asked.

"Pappa, there is gonna be a show for parents next week and we get to be in it," Rett said.

"Really? What are you gonna do?"

"We are gonna get to sing a song and we want to sing one for you and Daddy," Gabe replied.

Tony felt his eyes water and his throat get tight but he managed to squeeze out," Wow. I think that is a great idea! Do you get to choose the song or will your teacher choose it for you?"

"We get to choose and we would like to sing and we want to sing one of Daddy's favorite songs, the one you danced around the kitchen to but we can't remember the name of it. Will you tell us?", Rett asked.

"The slow one or the fast one?"

"The slow one, y'know the one that always made Daddy smile at you and sing to you?", Gabe said.

"OK, well that one is called Lost and it's by a singer named Michael Bublé and I think that it would be just perfect for you to sing." Tony was so close to breaking down he wasn't sure what he would do to avoid scaring the boys. Thankfully Liam came bounding down the stairs and saved him by calling at the boys to play outside with him. Tony looked over and mouthed, "Thank you" to Liam and went upstairs to try to get himself under control.

Tony looked up at the ceiling from where he was laying on the bed and said, "Jethro, I am amazed by our children again. They want to sing a song for us at their school show, the one we danced to in the kitchen, but what amazes me is that they remember us dancing and laughing and loving. That renews my faith in being able to raise them by myself. I was worried that I couldn't teach them everything that they need to know without you here to help me but I think now maybe I have a chance to ensure that they always remember you."

Tony sat up and went over to the ipod stand and picked it up, walked out the door, down the stairs and out the door to the backyard. When he got there he sat the ipod down on the table on the deck, turned on Lost and went to play with his kids. He was finally beginning to feel more at peace with himself and decided that it was the perfect day to start a new tradition in their family, a way to help the twins remember their Daddy and the good times that they had together. He knew that in just a few more hours he would sit down and discuss things with his older children but until then playtime looked fun.
