The next morning...

Carter was putting her shoes on and waiting for Jack to wake up

"We should get going... I told Mark we would be there for breakfast" she thought

knock-knock-knock. Carter quickly tied her shoelace then answered it

"Ya ready?" He asked looking at his watch.

"Yeah" she said grabbing her purse.

"Then lets go" he said cheerfully. She smiled and headed out the door.

"Hi" Mark said answering the door.

"Hey Mark" Carter said giving him a hug. "Any news?" Mark shook his head.

"Come on in, before your breakfast gets cold" He said opening the door wider.

"Thanks" Carter said walking in the house, with Jack following.

"something smells good!" Carter said walking into the dining room. She looked at the eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast and orange juice. "

"Looks delicious," Jack added sitting down.

Carter nodded, then sat down

After breakfast, Carter asked if she and Jack could take the boys to the park. "We will be careful" Carter assured her brother. "They need to get their minds off of Elizabeth." she added.

Mark nodded. "I guess you're right" He said looking at his wife. Carol nodded and looked over at the boys

"ok boys, go get ready" She said with a smile.

"Yes!" They both yelled racing upstairs to get their stuff.

Jack smiled. Theyreminded him ofhis son "Charlie always loved going to the park" Jack thought to himself. Just thinking about Charlie hurt. "We better get going" He said standing up. "Thanks for Breakfast... It was great!"

Carol nodded "Anytime!" She said, turning towards the stairs. "Mr.O'Neill is leaving!" She yelled up the stairs.

The boys rushed down with their base ball gloves and the ball. "We're ready!" Tommy said cheerfully.

"Ok in to the car we go!" Jack said heading out the door.

"Which park are we going to?" Tommy asked.

'uhh, I don't know, What do you think?" Jack said looking at the two boys in the review mirror.

"THE ROCKET PARK!" both boys yelled at once.

"Ok! That's settled... where is it?" Jack asked the boys.

After directing Jack to the park, The four of them got out of the car.

"Do you want to play catch with us?" Matt asked Jack.

"uhh" he started, looking at Carter.

"Its ok Jack, go ahead, I'm going to check my email" she said pulling out her laptop.

"Ok!" He told the boys. After about an hour of playing catch, they heard the ice cream man. Matt reached in his pocket for money, but Jack stopped him.

"No, It's my treat." He said handing both boys a dollar.

"Gee! Thanks!" Tommy said running towards the ice cream truck, with Matt right behind.

"Want anything Sam?" he asked Carter.

"No thanks Jack..." She said looking up from her laptop. She smiled. "I think we should get going..." She said, looking at her watch. Jack nodded. The boys started walking towards them.

"Come on boys! Are you ready to go?" Jack asked them. They both nodded while taking a lick of their chocolate ice cream cone. "Alright! then lets go!" Jack said, picking up the baseball gloves and heading towards the car.

Carter followed them to the car.

"MOM IT WAS SO MUCH FUN" They both shouted running into the house "WE GOT ICE-CREAM AND" the boys stopped "what's the matter?" they asked.

Mark shook his head. "You two go play..." The boys ran upstairs. "We just got this" Mark said handing Sam a note...
