Disclaimer: i own nothing

I did create the Character of Dani, she's Jimmy's little sister and DK's wife and I created her kids Lilly, Addison, Rachel and JJ and DK's daughter Meg.I also created Kim and Jimmy's youngest child Lexie.

"No one told me you were coming home to" Lilly said when she saw Joey taking his shoes off at the front door.

"I'm only here for the day, I have to drive back to school tonight I have class at 8am"Joey said as he his 4 year old cousin JJ ran over to him.

Joey's face lit up with his trademark smile when he realized that JJ was handing him a a toy fire truck. "I haven't seen this one before Buddy is it new" Joey asked as he sat down on the floor with his cousin.

JJ nodded in response and then took off to his bedroom. "I got this one to" JJ said handing Joey an Ambulance.

Joey examined the Toys and realized that the new fire truck had rescue 2 on it. "This is just like Uncle J's truck isn't it" Joey asked as JJ nodded.

"It's a repla truck from the Easter bunny" JJ said as he took the fire truck back from Joey. "Want to come play fire trucks" JJ asked standing up.

Joey really wanted to spend time with everyone and his grandparents had just arrived but he gave in and decided to follow JJ. "Yeah bud I'll play fire trucks for a little bit" Joey said.

"Sweet, I got a new SUV like Uncle Billy's last week Kara gave it to me" JJ said Joey nodded and smiled. Joey took in the sight of his youngest cousin's bedroom as he sat down on the floor. Much like Joey had when he was a kid JJ definitely loved Fire trucks and Ambulances to. "You can play with this one if you want" JJ said handing Joey a ladder truck.

"Thanks little dude" Joey said smiling.

A few minutes later Grandma Donna came in to say hello. "your mom thought I could find you up here how's school going" Donna asked.

"School's great I love Syracuse" Joey replied.

"That's good and this is a nice surprise having you here your folk's didn't say you'd be home" Donna commented.

Joey handed JJ the ladder truck back and stood up from his spot on the floor and responded" I drove home to surprise my mom"

"Well that was nice of you when do you have to return to school" Donna questioned as Joey sat down on JJ's fire truck bed.

Joey just nodded in response as he watched his cousin play happily.

"You okay Joey" JJ asked wondering if something was wrong with his cousin as they watched Donna retreat out of the room.

Joey sighed and looked down at his cousin, "Yeah Bud I'm alright just thinking about how much I miss being home while I'm at school"

JJ just nodded and went back to playing with his toys.

"Are you hiding from everyone for a reason" Dani questioned poking her head in.

"Nahh just spending time with JJ" Joey said.

Dani nodded and then looked down at her youngest. "J, have you shown Uncle J your new truck yet".

JJ looked up at his mom and shook his head, "Nahh not yet do you think he'll like it" JJ questioned.

"Go show him I'm sure he will" Dani responded as she sat down next to her nephew. "Grandma said you seemed a little down"

"I'm fine Aunt D, just realizing why I don't like to come home, makes me realize what I miss when I'm not here" Joey mumbled

"Alright just checking in on you my favorite nephew" Dani replied as she stood up.

"Smell's good" Joey mumbled as he to stood up and then followed his aunt downstairs.

Later on back home

"Mama I should get going I want to make it back at a decent hour" Joey yawned.

"Hunny if you're tired maybe you should stay" Kim

"I really need to head back I have class tomorrow" Joey groaned from his spot in his father's recliner.

"I wish you were home more" Kevin grumbled.

"Me to Kev, me to if you were a little older I'd offer to bring you to school with me but maybe next year"

"When will you be home again" Kevin asked.

"In May when the semester ends" Joey said as he got up from Jimmy's chair and retreated up the the stairs to grab some clothes.

"Don't you have clothes at school" Jimmy questioned

"Yeah but these are clean" Joey said as Jimmy shook his head and Joey continued to rifle through his dresser draws.

"Do your laundry" Jimmy replied.

"I do my laundry" Joey said as he sat down on his bed and looked around the room that he had pretty much grown up in. When Joey was 8 years old his parents had moved into together remarried and had Kevin.

"You miss this place" Jimmy questioned.

"Oh yeah so I was thinking you only need a year of college to join the academy right" Joey questioned

"Yeah bud you do" Jimmy replied.

"Would you be mad if I chose that over finishing college" Joey asked.

"Absolutely not but I think you should finish school, it won't hurt to have that degree" Jimmy replied.

"I'm not going to use it anyway" Joey mumbled.

"Then change your major, and finish school I don't want you going to school for something you don't like" Jimmy commented.

"Your right" Joey mumbled.

"Alright Champ it's getting late you should head out" Jimmy commted as he glanced at the fire truck clock on the wall.

"Thanks dad for being a parent and not a friend this time" Joey replied as he set the pile of clothes down he was holding and hugged Jimmy.

"Anytime Champ" Jimmy said with a nod hugging his son back.

Joey then headed downstairs and said goodbye to everyone before driving back to school

4 hours later just after midnight

"How was home" Derek asked briefly looking up from his book.

"It was good" Joey said as he pulled his jeans off and threw on a pair of basketball shorts.

"You know we have morning practice right" Derek questioned.

"What" Joey asked as he crawled into his bed and dove under the covers.

"Yeah 6 am at the practice fields" Derek replied.

"When did coach schedule that" J oey asked as he reached for his phone and began to check his calander.

"April fools" Derek replied.

"Jerk" Joey mumbled as he drifted off to sleep.

The rest of the semester flew by pretty quick before Joey knew it Lacrosse season was over, and the semester had ended.

End of finals week

"So you excited to live elsewhere next year" Derek asked.

"Yeah it'll be a good change" Joey replied as reached into his dresser and pulled out a stack of t-shirts.

"So you're definitely coming back right" Derek questioned as he also began to pack.

"Yeah that's my plan anyway, graduate from college and then join the FDNY" Joey replied.

"So why not just join now" Derek asked.

"I promised my mom I'd go to college first" Joey replied as he filled a duffle bag with clothes

"Think that you'll keep that promise" Derek asked.

"If I don't she'll kick my butt" Joey replied.

Moving out

The Saturday after finals week Jimmy and DK drove up to help Joey move out of his room.

"Holy stuff kid" DK commented eyeing Joeys room.

"My car's already full to" Joey said.

"Jeesh you have enough sticks" DK asked eyeing Joey's Lacrosse bag, that had 4 sticks sticking out of it.

"Always need to have extras" Joey replied.

"Kind of glad Addison played soccer and the girls swam" DK replied.

"Your Brother's playing this spring" Jimmy commented.

"Finally" Joey said as he walked over to closet and grabbed another stick.

"That your good one" Jimmy asked.

"It was till I broke it" Joey replied as he put the stick in his bag.

"Alright so what goes down now" DK asked.

"Whatever's left" Joey mumbled as he moved another plastic tub full of shoes.

As Joey reached for another box Jordan one of his friends from the team stopped in "your still here, I thought you moved out yesterday".

"Nahh man I loaded my car last night this is the last of it Derek moved out yesterday though" Joey replied as he picked up his Lacrosse bag and then another box and started for the door.
