"Hey Mom." Charlie Conway said as he came in from hockey practice. He half- hazardly threw his bag in the couch and walked into the kitchen.

"Charlie, can you come on in here we need to talk." Oh great, Charlie thought to himself. Grabbing a coke he wondered into the dinning room and flopped down across for his Mom and Coach Bombay.

"So, what's up?"

"Well Charlie we have some news." Mom paused and looked at Gordon who took her hand.

"Oh my God you're pregnant. I, I cant believe this how could you do this." I stood up throwing back my chair.

"No, oh no Charlie, Mr. Ducksworth called and gave us some news."

"Oh thank you GOD!" I finally exhaled for the first time for minutes. "So.. then what is it?"

"My second cousin and his wife died."

"Oh, that's horrible, so if that's all can I go?"

"Charlie sit back down, they had a child, and he is going to be coming to live with us. He's sixteen like you, and he plays hockey, and hopefully you'll be able to be friends." Casey said trying to read her sons body langue.

"Charlie, I think I should warn you, you did know this boy at one time. His name is Adam, Adam Banks, from the Hawks."

My brain whirled while I tried to sort all this out. Adam Banks in my house, this is going to be hell.
