Lily was helping Fiona making lunches for the kids. Ian was making uo some work in the counter with the help of Lily, who was not much help. Debbie then walked in.

"Where's Grammy?" Debbie asked looking around to see if she was here. "Frank took her to Sheila's late last night. She was having trouble breathing." Lily answered.

"The chemicals from the fire were aggravating her emphysema." Ian said not looking up from his homework. "Will the chemicals give us emphysema?" Debbie asked. "Probably, but we won't know for 50 years." Lily added as she finished doing lunches.

"Carl, the team gives you one helmet and if you break it, we can't afford to replace it." Lily scolded seeing him walk down the stairs bumping his head anywhere in the walls.

"Don't matter. Season's over." He said confusing her. "Over? But it hasn't even started." Lily said confusedly.

"Coach got arrested for exposing himself at the park." Carl explained sitting down at the table about to eat breakfast. "He was peeing being a shed. A couple of seven year old girls saw it." Debbie said.

"I don't get it." Carl started, "half the world has penises. Why do people get so upset about seeing them?" He asked and for the first time it was actually something, not dumb.

"Context."

"What's that?" He asked. "When, how, where and with who." Ian said getting his things about to leave. "Ian, you played, you could coach." Carl said, but Ian shook his head.

"Uh, can't. I got to work after school, bud. Sorry." Ian said ruffling his hair. "You going to school early?" Lily asked giving her brother a look. "Chemistry study group." He said sending her a wink, and left.

"Can you coach?" Carl asked looking at Lily. "Sorry, bud, but I know nothing about football." Lily said giving him a small smile.

"It's just boys crashing into one another. With pads. And some rules." Debbie said.

"Ask Lip." Lily suggested. "He won't do it." Carl said and Lily just looked at him. "Wake him and ask. Can't hurt." She said.

"Lip!" Carl yelled.

"I could have done that." Lily scolded, "Upstairs, please." Carl rolled his eyes and left. "Have talked to Lip?" Lily asked and Fiona shook her head.

"Couldn't wake him." Carl walked in and Lily nodded. "Debbie, go brush your teeth. And tell Lip that ice cubes are going down his shirt next. He's missed a week of school already."

"Morning, Gallaghers." Steve walked in with his wife. "Who likes coffee and doughnuts?" He asked and Lily rolled her eyes.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Lily asked annoyed "Double latte, two sugars." He said. "What the fuck are you doing?" Fiona now asked.

"We were out getting coffees, and I thought, Hey, school's started. Why not pop by and give the kids a ride like the old days?" He said as if it was normal.

"No heads up so I could put pants on?" Fiona asked going to the dryer putting her jeans on. "I like you with no pants on." Steve said and just then Daniel walked in.

"Donuts?" Daniel said getting a donut from the box handing one to Gianna.

"Jimmy-Steve what brings you here?" He asked taking a bite out of the donut.

"Jimmy-Steve?"

"Yeah, that's what we call you." Daniel said pointing at Lily and himself. "Or is that not your name?" He asked teasing him.

"We never know with you Jimmy-Steve." Daniel said patting his back.

"You come back with a new name, a wife, what's next a kid?" He asked as everyone looked at him.
