Notes: I drop a little info in this fic about something that came up in the
past. It'll be discussed better in the next chapter.
Adam's Family
Adam had picked up Jesse up from the airport before he had to go to Eden Hall for the JV team's first practice. They see each other two or three times a year since Jesse lived in San Jose California and Adam lived in Edina Minnesota. They both carried Jesse's two bags into Adam's house. Six year old, Erica Banks ran up to her dad. "Daddy." She said hugging him.
He picked her up. "How was first grade?"
"Good! Olivia and Cathy are in my class and we got the best teacher." Adam put her down. She and Tyler went upstairs to their rooms.
Gina Banks, Adam's wife, came into the room. "How was your first day Adam?"
"Same old thing."
"Jesse would you like something to drink?" Gina asked.
"No I'm fine. I'm going to go call Annie she should be at work still. She's sorry she couldn't make it." Annie was Jesse's wife. Annie owned her own craft store in San Jose and couldn't leave. They had a two-year-old daughter named Denise. Jesse wandered out the back door and called Annie on his cellphone.
"Any chance of winning state this year?" Gina asked. She knew full well what would happen to Adam's job if they didn't make at least state this year.
"No not really. I mean there always is a chance but probably not with this team." After being put on the Ducks, he knew never selling a team short.
"You know you could see if that contract is still any good." Gina said.
"The contract is nineteen years old. But don't mention it to Jesse. I never told the others about the contract. Besides I like coaching."
"Okay." Gina said. "I'm going to go check on the kids. They are being too quiet."
Jesse came into the room. "Annie says hi and again apologizes for not being able to come."
"Maybe we'll all come out there to see you at Christmas time if you aren't playing a game that is. If you are we could just visit Annie and Denise."
"They'd like that. So you ever talk to the others?" They sat down in the large living room of the Banks.
"Not really. Most don't live around here anymore. You play Guy and Charlie much?" Guy and Charlie both played for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
"Have a game against them in two weeks." Jesse said. "It was nice to manage to get a week off."
"Glad you are here. Maybe you can help me figure out what to do about my team."
"I can try. Hey maybe you've got yourself another District 5 team."
"One can only wish."
