As they made their way across town towards St. Brendan's high school, Danny began to think of how Jamie might react. Would Jamie be mad that he wasn't told that his brother was coming home? Would the school even allow him to see Jamie?

"Danny, don't worry, he won't be mad that you didn't tell him, he'll just be happy to see you," his father comforted. Riding in the backseat of his father's issued SUV, all he could offer was a small smirk. "Hey we've missed that. You have no idea how grateful I am that you are home safe."

"I've missed all of you guys too," He whispered. "What if they don't allow me in to see Jamie?" finally voicing his concern. He had come all this way and could be denied seeing his brother. Sure he could wait a few hours but he really did not want to. He needed to see his baby brother.

"I know people, they will let you see your brother," Frank replied.

For Jamie, the last year and a half was a mixed bag. He had excelled in school, he was first in his class when he had promoted from 8th grade to high school. His had a good group of friends and had made varsity in every sport he had tried. He and his brother Joe were closer than ever. He had a niece he adored and spoiled, much to the ire of his sister. But none of that seemed to matter. For the past 18 months, his oldest brother Danny had been overseas fighting in Iraq. His entire family struggled with Danny being gone. Linda, Danny's girlfriend, was present at almost every family function, due to the insistence of his mother. They all knew she was going to be part of the family when Danny returned; he just had to make it official. Jamie wouldn't allow himself to fall behind on anything; he owed it to his brother. He just wanted Danny home.

"Excuse me, Jamison Reagan, could you please follow me to the office," Mr. Lane, the principal, asked interrupted his thoughts. He wondered what he had done to warrant a visit to the office, however he followed without question.

As soon as he stepped into the hall he noticed that Mr. Lane had stopped just a few doors short of the office.

"Mr. Reagan, I assure you, you are not in any trouble. Your father asked that I come and get you," the principal explained.

"My dad is here? Why is my dad here?" Jamie asked scared. The only thing he could think of was something had happened to Danny. Was he there to tell him that his brother was gone? His mind continues to run wild.

"Please stay here, I'll return shortly," Lane explained.

Jamie somehow found the bench next to the office. He is so off in his own world he doesn't hear the door to the office open and see his brother step out.

"Hey, kid," Danny greets as Jamie's head snaps up.

With tears in his eyes, Jamie embraces his brother and holds on for dear life not wanting to let go. His hero, his brother was home, safe and sound.

Danny knew that this would be the hardest reunion of them all. Even though he and Jamie had fought a lot growing up, he felt guilty that he had to leave his baby brother. He had been there for Erin and Joe when they had started high school, he had always been there for them. Danny felt as though he had let Jamie down by enlisting in the Marines and leaving when he did.

As they walked up to the high school, he hoped that it wasn't lunch time. He didn't think he could handle being seen by everyone. Danny knew the school like the back of his hand. He had spent four years here. He had spent a fair amount of time in the office in his first couple of years of high school. As he walked into the office, with his father right behind him, he started to feel a bit nervous. Would Jamie be angry? How would he react?

"Hello, welcome to St….Oh hello Commissioner, what can I do for you?" A secretary he didn't recognize greeted.

"Is Mr. Lane here?" he hears his father ask.

"Yes I'll get him for you, just a sec," the secretary smiled.

"Hello, Commissioner, how can I….Danny, what are you doing here?" The principal asked as he realized who was standing new to Frank. Danny couldn't help but smile, even though Mr. Lane and he had not started off of the right foot, they both came to respect each other. "I thought you were supposed to be in Iraq."

"I just flew in today. No one knew I was coming," Danny replied.

"No one? Jamie doesn't know?" the principal asked shocked. He knew that even though there was a large age gap between Danny and Jamie, they were still very close. He knew all four of the Reagan siblings were close.

"No, my dad didn't even know. I was wondering if maybe we could take Jamie out of class. I…" Danny began but stopped fearful of sounding childish. "I really want to see him. I haven't seen him for 18 months and," he tried to finish but was interrupted.

"Of course, I'll go get him," Mr. Lane explained. As he walked by, he felt Mr. Lane's hand on his arm.

As he sat down in the office, he finally allowed himself to feel the emotions of being home. He had cried when he was reunited with his dad, but this would one would hit him full force.

"Danny, Jamie is here."

Inhaling he walked out of the office and into the hallway to see his baby brother sitting on a bench, his shoulders shaking.

"Hey kid," Danny murmured as he watched his brother's head snap up. He was shocked at the tears that shone in Jamie's eyes. "I'm here, I'm okay, I'm…" he broke down.

Standing in the hallway of his high school he held his baby brother in his arms. He was glad to be home. To be with his family.
