Sophmore year

Joey and Derek had decided to room together again,and this year they lived in Lawrinson hall. They had decided to live there because of it's close proximity to the Carrier Dome.

"Ughh I wish we could just live off campus" Joey whined in disgust as his neighbors blasted music and the fish bowl on his desk vibrated.

Derek looked up from his book and nodded in agreement, "Who lives over there" Derek mumbled pointing at the wall with his thumb.

"I think a couple girls" Joey replied.

Hearing that Derek turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "we should go make nice with the neighbors".

Joey shot Derek a look and rolled his eyes, "how about you go make a fool of yourself, I'll stay here and do home homework".

Derek just smiled and stood up from his desk. "I shall return with 2 girls for us to hang out with"

Joey once again just shook his head, Derek was relentless sometimes.

Next door

"Hi Ladies" Derek said knocking lightly on the open door.

"Hi" one of the girls replied.

"I'm Derek I live next door with my friend Joey, we were wondering if you two would want to hang out" Derek asked trying to play it cool and not look dumb.

"Sure we'd love to" one of the girls replied as her roommate shot her a look.

It took the girls a few minutes before responding "Nikki we don't even know them".

"Oh get over it Jenna let's go" Nikki said practically pulling Jenna out of her bed.

Jenna rolled her eyes t her roommate before finally agreeing and following Derek.

Back in the boys room

"Joey Meet Jenna and Nikki" Derek said as they all walked into the room.

"Hi" Joey said flashing his trademark smile and dimples and closing his textbook. "someone can sit up on my bed if they want".

"I will" Jenna said taking up Joey's offer and sitting on his bed. "you know someone who's a fire fighter" Jenna asked Noticing the FDNY blanket on Joey's bed.

"My dad" Joey replied.

"Nice" Jenna replied.

"Yeah I'm going to follow his footsteps someday" Joey replied.

"Really" Jenna asked.

Joey nodded "that's my plan".

The 4 new friends watched a movie and just hung out till it got late and the boys both wanted to go to bed.

2 weeks later

Joey and Jenna were getting close but were still just friends and Derek had decided that Nikki wasn't his type so he had given up altogether.

"Man find me a date would you" Derek whined from his spot on his bed.

Joey grumbled in response and rolled over, "I'm sleeping some of us have a 4 hour drive ahead of them"

Derek didn't say anything back he just closed the book that was open on the bed next to him and reached over and shut off his lamp. It was getting late and he felt bad for waking Joey up since he was planning to drive home in the morning. It was Lexie's 5th Birthday.

330 am

Joey rolled over as his phone buzzed beneath his pillow, He thought about sleeping till 6 and then driving home but he wanted to be home early enough to spend a lot of time with his little sister. A few minutes later he gave into the buzzing and climbed out of bed trying to be quiet and not wake Derek, Joey quickly grabbed the bag he had packed the night before and then slipped out of the room.

He made it home to Brooklyn around 8 am because he had hit traffic, and gotten stuck trying to get to his house.

Jimmy looked up from his chair hearing the front door open, and saw his oldest make his way inside "Hey Champ".

Joey set his bag down and took of his sneakers and his coat before looking in his dad's direction "Hey".

"Everyone else is still asleep" Jimmy mumbled as Joey nodded and made his way to the stairs "I need to sleep for a little bit, Derek was up till midnight so I only got like 3 hours of sleep last night"

Jimmy nodded "go get some sleep Champ your sister will be excited to find you in your bed when she wakes up"

Joey nodded and tip toed up the stairs, once in his room he dove underneath the covers and fell into a much needed slumber.

An hour later

Lexie peaked into her older brother's room and saw that he was home from college. She then took the opportunity to wake him the only way she saw fit. Lexie stepped back a couple feet and got a running start pouncing on her big brother as he slept peacefully. "WAKE UP"

Joey groaned upon feeling the impact of his little sister and cracked an eye open "morning to you to Lex"

Lexie smiled and then decided to be an evil little sister taking Joey's blanket's off one at a time.

This sent Joey over the edge a little bit "Lex knock it off I'm awake" Joey then reached for the blanket his little sister was holding and took it back.

Lexie reached for the blanket and Joey gave her a warning look "get up and watch Scobby Doo"

Joey sighed realizing he was fighting a losing Battle he sat up in bed. "how about we watch Scooby Doo in here".

Lexie shook her head, "we can't Daddy took the remote to your TV away because I was sneaking in and watching cartoons at night".

Joey shook his head at his little sister. "Give me a few minutes Lex and I'll be downstairs".

Lexie smiled knowing she had won, "okay Big brother". Lexie then took off out of Joey's room and he climbed out of Bed throwing on a pair of "Orange Lax" shorts and a t-shirt.

Once downstairs Joey found a spot on the couch and Lexie curled up with him to watch Cartoons.

Jimmy took in the sight of his oldest and his youngest and smiled at the sight of them. Of his 3 kid's they were closest. Kevin and Joey were pretty close to but nothing could beat the the bond Joey shared his with his little sister. As he watched them Jimmy thought back back to when they had told Joey they were having another baby.

Flash Back

Joey looked up from his dinner plate he'd been cautiously playing around with his food for the last 10 minutes trying to come up with something to say "Another baby are you crazy".

Jimmy looked up from his own plate of food, "no it was a surprise"

Joey continued to play with the carrots on his plate, "how is that a surprise"

This time Kim spoke "because this was totally unplanned Joey"

Joey nodded "yeah and so was Kevin" Joey then got up took his plate to the sink and grabbed his Lacrosse stick and took off out the back door.

Jimmy watched his son and shook his head, "He's a teenager he'll come around"

Kim nodded and looked over at her youngest who seemed totally unphased by the scene that had just unfolded in front of him.

Meanwhile outside

Joey had a bucket of Lacrosse balls and was shooting them at the net in the backyard.

Jimmy stepped outside and watched him for a few minutes, "you feel any better"

Joey didn't respond right away he just reached into the bucket of balls and grabbed another, there were probably 15 balls sitting on the ground inside the net, "who said I was upset"

Jimmy just rolled his eyes, sometimes his boy could be as stubborn as he was himself, "I just know something's up, is it more than what we just told you"

Joey reached for another ball and tossed it at the net, "Hanna and I broke up"

Jimmy nodded "well your only 14 Joe so how long could it have lasted"

Joey reached for yet another ball "she kissed another boy"

Jimmy hung his head and instantly felt for his son, "I'm sorry buddy"

Joey shook his head, "don't be it's not your fault"

Jimmy nodded "so you excited"

Joey nodded and walked over and began picking up the lacrosse balls "I guess"

Present time

"What's on" Jimmy questioned.

Without turning their heads both kids responded "Scooby Doo"

Jimmy just shook his head and laughed a little "where's Kev"?

Again without turning both kid's shrugged their shoulders

Kim walked in from the kitchen with a cup of coffee and smiled at her husband and kids "he's still sleeping"

Jimmy nodded "you two want Breakfast"

This time Joey turned to acknowledge Jimmy, "I stopped at Dunkin Donuts on my way into the city so I'm good for now"

Lexie looked at her father and her face lit up, "will you make pancakes"

Jimmy nodded as he made his way to the kitchen "whatever you want Lex it's your day"

Lexie then jumped off the couch and followed her father into the kitchen, "can I help"

Jimmy nodded and pulled a stool over to the counter, "of course you can"

Joey soon joined the two in the kitchen, "I see I've been replaced, you know Lex I used to help out with the pancakes, and Kevin did to"

Jimmy smiled a little and reached for another spoon, "you haven't been replaced Champ never will be"

Pretty soon all 3 kid's were in the kitchen helping with Breakfast, Lexie was mixing Kevin was pouring the mix on to the pan and Joey was flipping the pancakes.

Kim who had been reading a book in the Living room walked into the kitchen ad smiled "somethings never change do they"

Jimmy turned at the sound of her voice "no they don't, Lex be careful your getting batter everywhere"

Lexie giggled and then put her pancake batter covered hand up onto Jimmy's face, "but you love me anyway"

Jimmy nodded and reached for a paper towel, "that I do little lady, but let's get you all cleaned up before Mama has a fit" Jimmy wiped his face and then picked Lexie up and set her on the clean counter before reaching for another paper towel to clean her face and hands with.

Kim just smiled and then walked back to the living room to finish her book.

It was moment's shared in the kitchen like this that made Joey love coming home from school for weekend visits.

Joey reached to flip a pancake just as Kevin accidently doused him in Pancake Batter, "Kevin you have got to be kidding me"

Kevin looked up at his be other as he pulled the spoon back, "sorry Joey"

Jimmy just shook his head and handed Joey a paper towel, "you know you kid's really are something else"

Lexies party was later in the day, it was Disney Princess Party, "Joey put this on" Lexie was holding on to a silver Tiara with pink rime stones

Joey rolled his eyes and scowled at his little sister, "no way Lexie-Loo"

Lexie looked up at her brother and gave him a puppy dog look.

Joey shook his head, "sorry kid your big brother will do a lot of things but not that"

Joey then wandered over to where his Aunt and Uncle were standing, "she failed eh"Dk questioned.

"That she did Uncle Derek" Joey replied.

"How's school"DK questioned.

"Ehh it's school it's alright" Joey mumbled.

DK nodded "your dad says he thinks you have a new girl"

Joey shook his head, "man I don't know yet, we're still getting to know each other" Joey replied.

DK nodded "where's she from", as Walsh wandered over.

"Long Island" Joey replied.

Walsh and DK both nodded, "nice where about"

"Massapequa actually" Joey replied.

DK nodded "small world"

Joey nodded in response as one of the little kid's nearly tripped over his foot.

"Careful Shiloh" Lavine called out.

The little girl caught herself and nodded at her mother.

Lexie enjoyed her birthday party and was glad that Joey got to be home for it. The next day after Church Joey headed back to school. He was going to leave Sunday night but realized he had homework to do.
