L yup I hope Kevin put the kids to bed
M yea I am surprised Ben hasn't come and got me he went to bed early last night
L oh was his head hurting?
M yup and he didn't want to take the medicine today because than it makes him tired so he took Motrin instead.
L oh well let's go see what they are doing
They look in the playroom and they see Kevin is cleaning up and Ben is asleep with Kathy oh the sofa.
M oh look at him he looks so peaceful and good with Kathy I hope he is this good with our kids

K hey you 2 what's up
L nothing how and when did you get all the kids to sleep and Ben? You could have got me and I would have helped
K oh well that is alright they were fine Kelly fell asleep shortly after her last bottle, and mike and tom went at 9 30 they actually said they were tired but they were a little mad to. And first Kathy didn't want to go in her bed she wanted to lay with Ben. And I went out of the room to get something and the next thing I know is Ben is asleep to. But he said his head was hurting a bit so he went in your purse Mary and got Motrin.
M wow Kevin that was a great job getting all the kids to bed
L yes it was. Why were mike and tom mad?
K oh because they thought they were all good at playstation 2 because sometimes they win against me so they wanted to see how Ben was. So mike played him in baseball and tom played him in football and they both lost. And he even beat me so they got mad that they didn't win and that I got beat my brother so now they think Ben rocks and I stink.
L oh I see your own brother beat you
K yup. Does he play a lot?
M yes he does him and George play and the guys at the firehouse. And even I play him once in a great while and win so yeah he does play a lot.

M night
Mary went to the room and got her pj's on and got in bed and the babies were kicking a lot. She saw Ben's cell phone on the nightstand and saw that he had 2 voice messages so she decided to check them in case they were anything important.
1st message hey Ben I know you are in glenoak now but I wanted to let you know that me and your sister are coming in for the wake and funeral so we were planning on getting a cab to the house you are at or just to the church what ever we have time to make it to. Our plane gets in at 8 30 so if you could call me on my cell or your sister's. And I was so glad that you weren't in that fire the other day it looked so bad. Well talk to you when we get there. Love you.
M oh great I am glad they could make it I will have to tell him in the morning.
2nd message hey Ben it is mike I was wondering how you were doing? Since I didn't get to see you after the fire. I talked to the caption he told me about your head and your bunt hands. I hope you are ok man. But hey I have good news the 2 babies you saved are fine and are now out of the hospital because of you they lived the doctor said if you won't have gotten them out they would be in bad shape or even dead. Great job man you are a true hero. And the other kid also is going to be fine he just has some burns on his arms. All the mothers came to the station looking for you they want to thank you and they actually talked to the captain and want to have a party for you saving their children they are so grateful. So we didn't know when you are coming back but call me and let me know how you are.
M wow my husband a hero that is great can't ask for any better.
Then Mary went to sleep.
6 30 Matt hears jack so he goes and gets him and puts him in bed with them cause it is to early to get up and he didn't want him to wake anyone than jack fell right back to sleep and so did Matt at 7 30 jack wakes up again so Matt and Sarah get up.

So I went and I got many people out but when I went up the 10th floor bricks and hard things were falling on me and that is how I got the deep cut on my head. But anyway I saved 2 babies and a little kid and I took off my gloves to protect them and my hands got burned. So then my captain took me to the ER and I have another week off and I have medicine. So I will be all right. But this morning I found out all the kids are all right and the mothers came looking for me they say they don't know what they would have done with out me and I am their hero.
