Life Lessons

"Daddy!" Rebecca remembered Katherine and her racing towards their fathers as the two brothers walked through the door. She remembered the tears in her father's eyes as he held her and the innocent confusion in the eyes of her three year old cousin. "It's not fair;" She mumbled silently as she watched the three year old sleep. "Andy was nice;" She felt tears in her eyes as she swung her feet over the side of the bed. "Katie;" She shook the three year old shoulders as her brown eyes groggily opened and tears formed.

"No!" She began to cry loudly, "Sleep;" She cried.

"Ssh;" Rebecca pulled her up despite Katherine's struggles, "We're sleeping with Auntie Jules and Uncle Sam;" She told her.

"No!" She cried holding her favourite doll tightly.

"Yes;" Rebecca responded; "And be quiet we don't want to wake everybody up;"

"Becky mean;" Katherine crossed her arms over her chest as Katherine led her into the room Jules and Sam were sleeping in.

"Go and wake them up;" Rebecca gently pushed her cousin towards the bed," Go;" She urged again.

"Uncle Sammy;" Katherine tugged on the sheets, but Sam didn't wake up. "Uncle Sammy;" She tugged tighter.

Sam mumbled as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at his watch "It's 1:00;" He mumbled still half asleep.

"Uncle Sammy;" Katherine cried tiredly and Sam finally turned to look at her and then at Rebecca.

"Come on;" He gently lifted Katherine up, "Be quiet, I want your Aunt to sleep through the night;" He said as he helped Rebecca climb onto the bed. "I'll keep the nightmares away;" He told them as Rebecca crawled under the covers. "You just sleep;" He told them soothingly. "Just sleep;"

"Katherine! You idiot! Get your foot out of my face!" Rebecca angrily pushed the three year olds foot away waking her up.

"Mean Becky! Mean! Nice Andy!" Katherine grabbed her hair and pulled it as woke up.

"Don't ever say his name again! You don't deserve to say his name!

"Andy nice!"

"You spoiled rotten-"

"Uncle Sam! Let me go! Rebecca fought to get out of her uncle's tight grip on her as he placed her on the ground.

"That's enough Rebecca; you, know better, go and get changed before you wake up your aunt." Sam told her.

"To late;" Katherine told him as Jules groggily opened her eyes.

"Uncle Sam-"

"No, Rebecca go and wait, I want to have a word with you;" Sam told the ten year old as she dragged her feet out of the room.

"Sam, give her a break;" Jules told her husband as she rubbed her eyes. "Think of what she's going through."

"I know what she's going through;" Sam reminded her as he climbed out of bed, "I'm going to go and tell her a little story;" He said as he walked out of the bedroom and walked into Rebecca's room and found her sitting on her bed. "Rebecca;" Sam walked towards the bed and knelt down beside it, "Rebecca;" Sam gently lifted her head she was looking at him. "Rebecca I'm going to tell you a story alright." Sam told her.

"Fine;" Rebecca responded in a barely audible voice.

"There was once a young boy who like you lost a sibling and he was miserable he thought his parents hated him, he started doing bad things he bullied his friends pushing them all away and he started talking back to his parents and he turned into a troubled kid. This boy's father was really important and everybody looked up to him but he was always working and he used to make time for his family but when his daughter died he became sad and his son hated him so much that he kept on running away. He didn't understand that his father was sad too and all he wanted was his son to talk to him and tell him what was wrong; but the son wouldn't. This boy was ten, just like you Rebecca and he pushed everybody away even though they all loved him. I know it's hard but you need to try and understand that Katherine doesn't understand what's going on, she's only a baby. She's three and you're ten."

"What happened to the boy?" Rebecca wondered. "Did his family really love him?"

"His family did love him, Rebecca,"

"Even his father? He seemed pretty mean."

Sam chuckled; "Yes Rebecca, even his father." Sam told her, "Come on I think you owe Katherine an apology."

"Okay Uncle Sam;" Rebecca stood up.

"Jewel, Stacy's making pancakes if you want any." Sam spoke as he walked back into Jules' childhood bedroom.

"Okay," She responded waving him off. "I probably shouldn't eat I just threw up dinner; besides I'm fat." She told him as she lifted up her t-shirt and showed him the tiny bump forming on her abdomen.

"You are not fat;" Sam told her walking up behind her and placing his arms around her waist. "You are carrying our child and you are very beautiful, very beautiful." He whispered in her ear as he moved his thumb over her abdomen in gentle circles.

"How did it go with Rebecca?" She suddenly remembered. "You didn't tell her about your sister did you?" She asked.

"I told her the story of a boy who made all the wrong choices until a person who holds a very special place in his heart changed his life around."

Jules smiled, "You Sam Braddock are the cutest person I know;" Jules smiled, "Your only problem is your parenting skills and I'm surprised to say it is because you are to strict."

Sam's face turned serious "Jules that was not strict, that was fair;"

"I think it was too strict;"

"Well maybe it was but it worked; she apologized to Katherine and she's downstairs now talking so I would say that was a job well done." Sam responded.

"I still think it was too strict;" Jules told him, "Come on I'll eat a little bit and then I think we should tell everyone."

"Whatever you want Jules;" Sam told her as he followed her out the door.
