Author's Note: Hey guys. This idea actually came from a friend of mine who was helping me come up with ideas and I asked her to lookup things for the letter Y. I have been getting good feedback, including that my past few chapter have been disappointing in linking my ideas with the actual chapter, so I apologize for that. It's just these last few letters it's hard to come up with things that will work. Alright. Here goes nothing I suppose.

Y is for Yukon (As in the car)

Twenty two year old Jamie Reagan was happily driving through New York on a sunny, Friday afternoon in mid-May. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, just the warm sun beating down on his silver Yukon, and miles of road in front of him. He was driving home from Harvard for the summer, and also for his oldest nephew's Kindergarten graduation ceremony. It was a surprise for the whole family, as he hadn't told anybody he was coming home a week earlier than expected for the summer.

He had been there for Nikki's, so he wanted to be the good uncle he was and not miss out on this big milestone. Jamie was planning on staying in a hotel that night so he could show up at the ceremony the next day as a complete surprise, without being a burden to anyone else he knew.

He had packed all of his things the previous night, so that when he had finished his last class for the day, he could just go pick it up and hit the road. So that's where he was now, driving patiently to get home. It would be nice to get off a week early, he had to admit, even though it had put him under loads of stress. It meant he had to take all of his finals back to back to fit them in in time for him to leave, but it had been worth it.

Jamie was driving behind a large truck when it happened. It was lucky he had been paying attention, or it could have been a lot worse. A car behind Jamie got into the lane of oncoming traffic, attempting to pass both him and the truck. Unfortunately, there was a car over there, which swerved in front of the truck, and they crashed. Jamie slammed on the brakes, turned and ran into the truck. Luckily, the hit wasn't major, so the airbag hadn't deployed. He hit the entire left side of his body on the car door, including his head. He heard a crack when his arm hit, and he could feel blood dripping from his forehead.

Breathing heavily, Jamie went to check on the people in the truck and the car. The only person who had been in the truck climbed out, looking pretty good with the exception of some cuts on his face and arm. The woman in the car wasn't too much worse, just what appeared to be some bruised ribs.

After verifying a second time that everyone was alright, Jamie pulled out his phone and called 911. He then went to check the damage to his Yukon, which thankfully wasn't much more than a dent in the front bumper, which could be fixed easily.

When the first responders arrived, the first thing they did was take everyone's statements. Jamie gave his quickly and did his best to describe the car that had passed them and kept going. After he was finished, they instructed him to go check with the paramedics to see if he needed to go to the hospital or if he could just go on his merry way.

Unfortunately, the paramedics ruled that he needed to get his arm put in a cast, so they put him in the ambulance and drove him to the hospital. The ride felt like it was ages, mostly due to the fact that his injured arm was strapped down, and every time they hit a small bump in the road, pains hot through his entire arm.

After giving Jamie stitches and checking to make sure that his head injury hadn't resulted in a concussion, they took him to get his arm x-rayed. The doctors confirmed that his arm was indeed broken, so they took him to a room to wait. Once the doctor arrived, they casted his arm and gave him a sling. He was glad he was right handed, or else he wouldn't have been able to sign his discharge papers.

Realizing he was only about twenty minutes out of the city and thirty away from his hotel, after he was discharged from the hospital he called a cab to come pick him up. Jamie had the cab take him to the garage, where they had taken his Yukon to fix the damage.

When Jamie arrived, the mechanic told him that it should be all fixed up and ready to take home in about two days. So he signed all of his paperwork, gathered his belongings (which had been in the car), and took off to find a way to get to his hotel.

As Jamie walked down the busy New York City street, he heard a police siren and smiled, wondering if that was either of his brothers. That happiness immediately turned to regret, knowing he wanted to be out there with them. The sun had set by now and the city lights blocked out most of the stars. People were chattering on their phones and window shopping.

It didn't take much for Jamie to remember how much he missed it here. Even in the business of Boston, New York was his home and always would be. He remembered Spencer telling him once that "Home is not where the heart is, it's where your heart longs to be." And his heart longed to be here, in New York. But he had to please his mother. Besides, it wasn't about him now, it was about Jack and his graduation from Kindergarten.

After walking the city aimlessly for around forty-five minutes, Jamie finally made his way down into a subway station and got on a train that had a stop close to where his hotel was. So he lugged all of his stuff onto the train and picked spot close to the back, remembering to stand, because he knew there was always someone who needed to sit more than he did.

When he got off at his stop, it was close to nine. He managed to check into his hotel and find his room. All he did before he collapsed into sleep was change and set his alarm.

The next morning, Jamie's alarm woke him up what felt like all too early. Sighing, he shut it off and went to the bathroom to shower. He was finding it difficult to move. He looked in the mirror and cringed. The red gash on his forehead, even with the sutures in it, looked angry and bloody. A bruised had formed itself right by Jamie's eye, directly under the cut.

Taking his short off, Jamie winced at the sight of a large bruise all the way down his left side, which thankfully wasn't too dark or he would have to consider going back to the hospital. He showered and got dressed. Checking the time, Jamie realized he had just enough time to go eat some breakfast before he had to go to Jack's school.

Jamie went down to the lobby and grabbed a bagel and some coffee. Sitting down, he ate quietly while watching the news on the TV playing in the small dining area. Another person arrested, another car accident, nothing too interesting. He got bored when he realized he wouldn't see his dad TV today, so he decided to head out to the school.

In a cozy home on Staten Island, six year old Jack Reagan was nervously picking at his toast.

"Jack honey, eat your toast. We have to leave soon if we want to get good seats. We promised your Uncle Jamie that we would get good pictured to send to him." Said Linda, going over to her son.

"I wish he was here." Jack frowned.

"I do too, it's different without him at family dinners. He's already been gone a year. But you know if he could've been here, he would've. And remember yesterday morning he even called you to wish you good luck, because he knew he had a class this morning and wouldn't be able to. I'm sure he's so proud of you today."

Jack smiled. "You think so?"

"I know so. Now let's go. We really have to leave now, your dad and Sean are already in the car."

"Yes mommy"

When Jamie arrived at the school, he couldn't help but feel out of place. The ceremony was taking place in the school gym, so he just found a seat in between two families, but it was in direct view of the stage, so he knew his nephew would see him as he got his little certificate.

Looking around, he found the rest of his family seated a section over, and a row down. Jamie smiled when he saw them, wishing he could just run up and hug them all, but he knew he had to wait to make this surprise great. After about five more minutes, the music started and the little children started parading in.

As Jack scanned the crowd, he found his family smiling at him. Jack smiled and waved back to them, suddenly feeling much more confident. The principal gave his little speech, then it was time to hand out the certificates.

Name after name was called, and after a while they eventually reached the letter R. "Jack Reagan." Called the principal.

Jack walked up to the stage, and that's when he saw him. His uncle Jamie, with a grin of pride on his face, despite the sling on his arm and the mark on his head, Jack's grin widened when he locked eyes with Jamie, and Jamie put his finger on his lips, letting him know not to tell anyone he was there.

After the ceremony was over, all of the kids made their way outside followed by the families that had come in support. After about five minutes, Jack spotted his mother, and he ran to her, waving his certificate in the air. "Lookie what I got!"

Danny smiled and ruffled his oldest's hair. Amazing bud, I'm so proud of you."

Jack smiled and everyone crowded, Linda with the camera. "I know you don't want to take pictures Jack but we have no."

"But mom-"

"Don't but me. Don't you want to do something nice for your uncle Jamie?"

"Mom just let me-"

"No Jack. Get in there." Linda persisted.

Just then an all too familiar voice sounded from beside the Reagans. "I think what he's trying to say is that you won't need to send any pictured to Uncle Jamie."

Jack grinned "Uncle Jamie!" Three small voiced chorused, and immediately Jack, Nikki and Sean ran to their uncle, hugging him tightly.

Jamie winced slightly due to his side but smiled through it, hugging all of them back. "Surprise"

The entire family was slightly shocked at Jamie's appearance. His stitches, sling and bruise widened eyes, but in that time it didn't matter. Hugs were given out, and everyone was all smiles, until Danny had to ask.

"I think you owe us a pretty good explanation kid."

"Yeah well. I managed to squeeze all of my finals into this week, so I would be able to come home early. I wanted to be here for Jack's big day so I decided to surprise you all. So after my last class yesterday, I started on my way home. But when I was driving, there was a minor accident. I'm okay though."

"Hell Jamers, this is a nice surprise but you look like someone killed you in the ring." Joe said, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"I know. I'm doing alright though." Replied Jamie, before kneeling in front of Jack. "Hey kid, you did well today. You're growing up little one. I'm so proud of you."

Jack smiled and hugged his uncle tightly.

"Well we're all glad you're home." Said Erin

"I'm glad too sis."

"How'd you manage to get out of that accident so clean son?" Asked Frank.

"I slammed on the breaks, and the car responded pretty quickly so I managed to not hit the truck in front of me at a very fast speed." Replied Jamie

"See Mary, I told you that that Yukon was a safe bet." Said Henry

Mary just rolled her eyes, and the rest of the family laughed.

Author's Note: So there you have it. I now this chapter was a little rushed, but I wanted to get everything in. I'm actually using this chapter as a chapter in another story but that's beside the point. It also wasn't too whumpy which I hope you didn't mind, my last chapter won't be too extreme either, because I wanted to wrap things up somewhat light-hearted. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I shall see you next time my lovelies.
