There was no way that Adam could have been too hard on Benjamin. Not when he explained why he got into the fight. He didn't want his son to be a bully, but he also didn't want him to be a victim either. He wanted Ben and Maggie to stand up for themselves. Especially since he and Sarah couldn't always be around to protect them.<br/><br/>"I believe you, buddy."<br/><br/>Adam replied to his son. He did believe that Ben would use his words next time and not throw the first punch. Adam was always grateful when Carrie was working. Since that meant Sarah didn't have the drag the kids out to pick him up. Although he sometimes felt bad taking the rides. Especially when Carrie didn't want any gas money in return. He didn't want her thinking he was taking advantage of her. But the older woman always insisted that he wasn't.<br/><br/>"I will."<br/><br/>Adam promised, not that Carrie would believe that. She'd just joke she was angel with horns. He smirked at Sarah's joke about riding him.<br/><br/>"Hmmm....that sounds like lots of fun."<br/><br/>Although they'd probably both be too tired for that tonight.<br/><br/>"I will and that sounds good. I gotta get back. I love you. I'll see you soon."<br/><br/>Adam told Sarah, he wished breaks never had to end. They always went too fast. Thankfully the rest of his shift wasn't as bad as the beginning of it. After the dinner rush, the restaurant died down. Everyone worked pretty fast at cleaning up. They all wanted to go home. Carrie kept her word and drove Adam home.<br/><br/>"Thanks, Carrie, for the ride. You know you don't have to do it."<br/><br/>"It's never a problem, Adam. I won't see you walking, not this late at night, and I don't want that sweet wife of yours dragging your little kids out of bed."<br/><br/>Carrie replied and Adam gave her a smile.<br/><br/>"Well, Sarah and I really appreciate it. She thinks you're an angel."<br/><br/>Carrie laughed and said.<br/><br/>"Maybe an angel with horns. Have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow."<br/><br/>Carrie told him as they pulled up the Sinclair house. Adam got out and told his friend.<br/><br/>"Thanks again and good night to you too."<br/><br/>Adam entered his house quietly, not wanting to wake up his kids. He hated working late during the school week. He didn't get to see the kids much and he missed that. He kicked off his shoes and hung his coat up. He found Sarah sleeping and smiled at her. She looked so peaceful and gently shook her shoulder.<br/><br/>"Sarah, I'm home."
