"And this is your birth certificate, you're gonna need this and that letter on the counter when we go. Have you studied this morning, do you need my help..." Mike rambled on before Caleb cut him off, "Dad, I'm good" he laughed.

Caleb was so excited to finally get to take his driving test, he's been studying for it since he was 14. Cars are his absolute favorite!

"Good luck baby boy!" Carrie sad and she planted a big wet kiss on her clearly mortified son. "Moommmm, stop" he laughed trying to get away. She let him go and smiled before kissing Mike.

                           **At the DMV**

"125, 126, 127, 128..." the numbers were called ever so slowly as they are in DMV's across the country. The father and son sat and waited for what felt like hours for Caleb's number to be called.

156, finally!! Caleb jumped in line and got to a clerk sitting behind a window with a hole to speak into and another to hand over power work.

She looked over the forms and looked at the 16 year old, "it says on your birth certificate your name is Isaiah Michael but this letter says Caleb on it, did you legally change your name?" the clerk asked and he had to explain the situation.

"So in order to get your license, you would have to decide which name you would like to go bye and you'd have to legally change it" a giant lump grew in his throat, he had to make a split second decision asap!

Your gut instinct is always right, and that's what Caleb went with. He walked over to his dad and sat down to wait again to take the test.

"How did it go?" Mike asked, knowing that there had to of been a little trouble since the boy had two names. "Oh, it was fine. I slid right through!"

By the time lunch came around, Caleb was done with the test and was a proud licensed driver!

"Congrats buddy! Let me see the picture" Caleb showed his father making sure to watch the expression about to creep on his face.

"I'm so happy for you buddy! Your mom is gonna be even happier when she sees" Mike said as he grinned and held his boy.

                        **Later that Night**

Mike, Carrie, Caroline and Caleb all sat together at Andreas pewee hockey game, cheering her on.

"Mom, check out my license" Caleb grinned as he handed her the card. Carrie smiled, and the smiled slowly turned into a grin when she noticed the name on the card.

"So can I call you Isaiah now?" Carrie asked, now with a steady stream of tears falling down her face. Isaiah laughed and nodded, "yeah mom, my name is Isaiah again"

Carrie was over joyed. She couldn't believe it, life was slowly coming back to normal and that news was the icing on top of the IveyCake!

The game came to an end, and Andreas team won so the Fishers went out to celebrate at their favorite downtown restaurant.

They sat for a while and ordered, Isaiah was watching the people around him and out of the corner of his eye he saw something every familiar.

His heart went into his throat, "no it couldn't be" he thought to himself.
