Greased Arches


A/N: Happy birthday to my darling shelikesthesound! This story is for her.

”Daddy, Uncle Em forgotted Sophie in the dugout again,” Sammy told me, ignoring how Emmett was trying to shush him.

“Hey, buddy. Did he? But you remembered her, right?”

“Of course, Daddy. She’s too little to drive a car, so we have to remember to bring her with us home.”

“That’s right.” I sighed and closed the hood on the blue Toyota I’d been working on all afternoon. “Did Uncle Emmett feed you?”

“Uncle Emmett is standing right here and very capable of answering questions,” Emmett said and dumped his sports bag on the floor before putting Sophie down. “Of course I fed them.”

“He gived us a candy bar but told us to tell you that it was a sammich,” Sammy supplied. “Mine had peanuts in it.”
