"Up and at em, big brother." I whisper with a smile.

Lucas's eye opened up, "What?"

"You, me, Blake, the kids, the Rivercourt. Up up." Nate announces.

"It's a beautiful day brother."

"Nice! All right, now go in for a lay-up." Luke tells the kids as they run off.

"The kids are growing up fast."

"Tell me about it. Jamies been asking a lot of questions lately. All of a sudden we're supposed to be the grown-ups that have all the answers."

"Birds and the bees already?"

"That would be easier. No, they're actually, um ... they're about Keith. Ever since Dan admitted to Jamie that he killed Keith. Actually, I was thinking maybe you could help. He feels bad he never got to meet Keith. You and Blake knew him better than anybody. I thought maybe you could talk to him."

"You know what, I've got a better idea."

I look at the kids before i glanced at my brothers, "the twins said they dreamt about Keith the other night."

"What?" Lucas raises his brow.

"They said that he forgives Dan and that we should too. That he's been watching over us and that we need to see Lily more often."

Both of my brothers stare at me.

"That's insane." Nathan comments.

"You don't think i know that?"

"Keith would never forgive him."

"You seem to forget that Keith loved his brother almost as much as he loved us."

"Where are we?" Jamie asks looking around.

"When We were your age, Jamie, this used to be our favorite place in the whole world." My brother answers with a smile.

"Why?" Kayse walks forward.

"Well, this is your great-uncle Keith's auto shop. Well, the guy that owns it now ... he gave uncle Luke a key so We can come whenever We want."  I explain smiling at the old memories.

"Cool." Keithy awes as he picks up a tool.

"Hey, whoa, uh, be careful."

"This was a great idea, Luke." Nate states wrapping an arm over my shoulders.

"Yeah, well, the mustang needs a tune-up anyway."

"All right, I'll pull it in."

"Hey, Nate, uh, I wanted to ask you... when Haley was pregnant, did you ever worry about all the things that could go wrong?" "Of course. Just ... Stay off the internet. It's full of horror stories. Haley looked up one of her symptoms one time and was convinced Jamie was gonna be born with two heads. You know what the doctor told us? Childbirth is the ordinary miracle. You can't believe it happens every day. Jamie, do you want to help me pull the mustang in?" Nathan asks his son.
