Wandering Reagan

Nephews

Jack was waiting out front of Sean's  school after finishing classes for the day. His dad had said that they were going to be picked up from there before heading to their grandfather's for the night.

He felt a tap on his shoulder from behind him, slowly turning around.
"Hi Nipote"
"Zia" Jack said carefully hugging Charlie.
"So you're taking us to grandpa's while dad goes on a date"
"How do you know he's got a date?"
"He's been smelling of perfume the last week, he's smiling more and the double Tree left a message saying his room was ready for tonight"
"Double Tree is a private hotel. I know someone with shares in it. And you're right he does have a date"
"You've met her am I right?"
" Yeah and so have you too. And she's going to be around a lot"
"Its Maria isn't It?"
"Yeah you okay with it? I know your mom only just passed away"
"Mom & I talked about it several times before she died"
" your mom and I talked about a lot of thing like you not joining the military forces, which with what I've seen I have to agree with her"
"I changed my mind about 3 months ago, I just haven't had the chance to tell anyone"
"So dare nephew what have you decided to do?"
" You are the first one to know but I want to be a pediatric nurse. I got into the programme I found out today."
"I'm proud of you and I'm sure your mother would have been too. If you need any financial help just let me know. Don't got to anyone else  in  the family ".

The two of them could hear a few of the parents talking about her. It wasn't until someone familiar walked up to her did the parents stop.
"Oh My God Charlotte Reagan,  it's been along time. I haven't seen you since school,  so what 15 years the army has done you some good."
"Lincoln Cravath it has indeed. Lincoln this is my nephew Jack, Daniel's oldest. Jack Lincoln was my best friend even though we were from different circles. Cairde go deo is cuma cen "
"Friends forever no matter what. So who are you picking up?"
"Sean, Daniel's youngest son. I'm taking them to dad's. What about you?"
"My youngest half sister Kennedy-Mae.  Here is my card, give me a call if you want to catch up." He handed her his card as they heard the bell ring.

Sean walked out with his "girl" friend on his arm, but the second he saw Charlie he let go, ran down the rest of the stairs and straight into Charlie's arms.
Even though she hissed in pain as he hit her left arm.
"Zia"
"Mio nipote sean"
"Does dad know your back?"
"I told him I was going take you to pops for the night"
"Auntie Charlotte this is Kennedy-Mae Cravath, my bff"
"Reagan and  Cravath  2nd generation  Lincoln who would have thought.  Guys I'll see you around".
"Damn straight. See you around Reagan".

They walked half way down the street before Sean said "where are we going?"
"I was thinking that before going to dad's we go get dessert"
Charlie smiled at the boys and they smiled back as they headed to the Staton Island Ferry to slowly make their way to Brooklyn.

Half way across the ferry, Jacks phone ran
"What is it Nicki?"
"Guess who I just saw waking into a hotel in Manhattan?"
"Who?"
"Uncle Danny walked out of a cab, escorted a brunette out, tipped the cab before kissing the woman"
"Let me guess the double tree?"
"Yeah how did you know?"
"He has a date tonight"
"Party at yous"
"Nah gramps. We'll see you there" Jack hung up.
