"Dad? Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking about something."
"Well mom, Matt and the kids are over on the home side bleachers. You're not supposed to be on the end courts because someone can throw the ball too high and well wham you're outta there."
"Oh I see your mom thanks." Eric says as he walks towards the bleachers where Annie is as Mary walks into her locker room.
After Mary's team wins Eric and the gang get home to celebrate with ice cream. Annie is with Eric putting the twins down in their room.
"Eric, what were you doing at Julie's work?"
"I was just buying her something to eat for lunch. What are brothers for?"
"I'm sure that Simon does something for Ruthie."
"Eric whatever you are up to forget it."
"What Annie come on, I just wanted to show Julie that I am proud of her and for her to keep up the good work. You do things for me and I do things for you and Julie is my sister."
"I know but just don't do it."
"Fine."
After the twins are down to bed Eric is in his den reading his sermon that had something to do with brothers doing something for sisters.
"Well maybe I can just make some changes but the topic should be the same."
Later that night Eric goes to bed as the rest of the Camdens are asleep.
Two days later..
At work Eric gets a notice that there was a softball tournament for brothers and sisters of the ministers.
"Hey Eric." Morgan comes in.
"Hey, did you hear about this?"
"Yea, I'm not sure if my sister, Julie will go."
"My brother Albert, is going."
"That's great. What should I do? Annie asked me about Monday."
"No way."
"Yes. It's like it's against the law to do something nice for your sister or sibling for that matter."
"Just walk up to her after she is finished, with no students then show her the flyer she will know you are not making this up."
"Will do."
When school was out, Eric went to Julie's school to see her. Julie was in her room grading papers as Eric walked in.
"Hi sis."
"Eric? What are you doing here?"
"Well I wanted to show you this." Eric says as he shows the flyer to Julie.
"A softball game?"
"Yes, I just wanted to spend more time with you."
"Do you know how to play?"
"It doesn't matter, besides most of the ministers don't know how to play."
"I don't think so Eric."
"Why not? What is it?"
"Eric, I just don't want to play because I have other things to do."
"Do you want to get some ice cream with me later on tonight?"
"No. Listen Eric I know you are up to something."
"For the last time I am not up to something."
"Eric, enough I don't want to hear it anymore. Stop it."
"Okay." Eric leaves as Julie finishes grading.
Eric goes to the church to work on his sermon, then goes home when he notices that the Hamilton's van is in the street near the sidewalk as he drives up in the drive way.
Eric and Morgan were in his room changing David's diaper while Keesha talked with Mary in her room, Nigel was in Simon's room and Lynn was in Ruthie's room and Annie and Patricia is sitting and talking to each other and the baby monitor happens to be on so they listen to Eric and Morgan's conversation.
"Well Julie said no. She thinks I'm up to something."
"I'm sorry Eric."
"Is it okay if I spend time with my sister?"
"Do you feel like she is pushing you away?"
"Yes I do. Maybe someone is harassing her?"
"What?"
"Yea."
"Eric, I'm sure no one is harassing her, she can always tell Hank or someone."
"Well, um.... maybe she is drinking again."
"Oh Eric don't you dare ask her, that is a leap not a jump to conclusion."
"Well, what am I supposed to do?"
"I love my sister and--"
"Eric, maybe you should talk to Annie about it."
"NO WAY!! My wife already gave me a lecture about doing something nice for my sister and I don't want another one!!"
Everyone was called to dinner as they ate and talked about school, Annie and Patricia never told Eric and Morgan that they were listening in on their conversation.
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking about something."
"Well mom, Matt and the kids are over on the home side bleachers. You're not supposed to be on the end courts because someone can throw the ball too high and well wham you're outta there."
