"Wake up James..It's time to get up." Said a female voice.

"C'mon Mum...It's saturday...Just give me five more minutes.." Groaned James covering his head with a pillow.

"It's a big day today James. You wouldn't want to miss it now would you?" Asked the voice.

James removed the pillow from his head and looked up to see his wife,Amanda sitting next to him on the bed

"What do you mean big da-" James was interrupted by a young boy who had just jumped on him.

"DADDY!" Shouted the boy with a happy tone.

"Wait a minute...Amanda who is this giant?" James asked his wife then looked at the boy.

James shook the boy for a second.

"Who are you and what have you done to Jeremy?!" James asked demandingly and jokingly.

Jeremy laughed and looked at his father.

"Daaad It's me! Jeremy!" Jeremy laughed and hugged him.

Jeremy McKay,A five year old young boy who will be the most happiest boy you will ever meet in your entire life. He is always smiling and cheery and hardly ever shows the slightest sight of gloominess.

"Thank god, I thought a giant ate you!" James heard Amanda laugh and he smiled.

"C'mon Jeremy,Let your father get dressed.

"Okie dokie mommy!" Jeremy smiled then bounced towards his mother who was ready to leave the bedroom.

"Wait!" James shouted.

Jeremy and Amanda turned around and looked at James.

James got out of bed and he was wearing his Camouflage PJ's. He got down onto the floor and pulled out a box that was neatly wrapped in wrapping paper and he presented it to Jeremy.

"Did you honestly think I would let my little soldier leave without his birthday present?" James laughed as he held the box out infront of him.

"Ooooh! Thank you so much daddy! You're the best!" Jeremy exclaimed cheerfully as he skipped towards the box,took it then skipped back to his mother.

"Heh. No problem kiddo." James said with a smile.

10:10AM

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Jeremy! Happy Birthday to you!" James and Amanda both sang to Jeremy.

"Hip Hip! Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!" James shouted.

"I bet you can't blow out ALL the candles in one blow." Laughed Amanda.

"I bet I can!" Replied Jeremy with a laugh.

Jeremy took a deep breath in and was about to blow when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" James said,getting out of his seat.

James walked over to the door and opened it. To his surprise he saw Peter at the door,panting.

"Peter! What are you doing here?!" James demanded.

"It's your kids birthday isn't it?" Peter smiled and looked down at the box he was holding.

"You did didn't you..." James looked at Peter with a smirk on his face.

"I did! What are best friends for?!" Peter smiled and laughed.

James sighed before letting him in.

"PETER!!!" Jeremy yelled before shooting out his seat and ran towards Peter and hugged him.

"Heeey kid! How's it goin?" Peter laughed then looked at Amanda.

"Hello Amanda. Are you still waking James up as usual?" Peter asked

"HEY!" James said with a bit of anger.

They all laughed.

"Anyway. I'm not here for hugs and kisses. I'm here to give Jeremy his present!" Peter smiled and he gave the present to Jeremy.

Jeremy took the box and got his arms pulled down by the weight.

"Wow! This is really heavy! What did you get me?!" Jeremy started laughing and jumped around.

"You'll see!" Peter smiled.

11:00AM

Jeremy opened the present that James had given him. He opened the box and saw a beret that soldiers would wear.

"What's this?" Jeremy said confusingly.

"Well..Your great great Granddad, Jack McKay served in the World War One. He gave his kids this hat who's kids gave their kids the hat and so on and so forth." James explained.

Jeremy smiled and put the hat over his head and was about to put it on when a piece of paper fell out of the hat.

"Whats this?" James said picking up the piece of folded up paper.

"Looks like a note" Amanda said.

"Who's it from?" Jeremy and Peter asked at the same time.

"Jeez let me read it.." James sighed and started to read it.

To whoever is reading this.

I am writing to tell whoever may read this note that I am not going to be returning to America or Scotland for a heroes return..I am caught up in some sort of...Apocalypse..I have managed to block myself inside a damaged building,but i fear i won't survive long enough...I am sending this to my loved children and wife in hopes that this hat and note reaches them.

Best hopes and wishes. Jack McKay 1918

James sighed and put the note down.
