Alan ran through the kitchen with his son in his arms and daughter in
toe behind him he picked up the phone his voice rushed and mean
"Hello?" "Alan it's Niki Boone, I called to invite you to the '71 Titan 25 year reunion/ Daddy and Coach Yoast' retirement party at 7:30 in the gym of the old T.C. Williams high school can you come?" A smile came across Alan' face he hadn't seen most of the team since Gerry's funeral fifteen years before he still lived in Alexandria but most of them had moved to places like Richmond to work. "Is family invited?" "Yeah I just need to know how many?" "Six, I got four kids you know." He said jokingly "Really. Well I look forward to meeting them of Friday." "Bye." Said Alan hanging up the phone and yelling across the house
"Megan guess what." He yelled. "For once all the kids are up and ready to go on time?" "No that would be nice though.... Anyway that was Niki Boone Coach Boones' daughter and they are throwing a 25-year reunion for us and it's also a retirement party for Boone and Yoast. So it's Friday at 7:30 okay so don't forget." She smiled and nodded and took the little boy from him "Now go get your sons out of bed." She said smiling and pointing him towards the stairs
"Why do I have to get stuck with this job?" he whined walking towards the stairs "Because I have to fix your daughters hair that's why." Said Megan grabbing the little girl by the hand and taking her to the bathroom to do her hair.
Alan opened the door to the room and saw his sons both still conked out. "Okay Cooper, Gerry get up." He yelled they knew that tone of voice and it was never good their father was obviously not having a good morning because that was the get up or suffer the consequences voice and it sent them both running for the bathroom.
As Alan was walking back down stairs he stopped and looked at the family portrait that was on the wall. All of the children had his flimsy blonde hair that hung in their faces and he looked up towards where the sky would usually be if it weren't for the ceiling blocking his view. "I hope I made you proud superman." He said under his breathe as he walked back down stairs
