Fandom: Prison Break

Notes: Future-fic and ridiculously domestic, but the idea refused to leave me. Since there's about four people who are going to read this, I didn't bother with getting it beta-read.
My Family by Jason Tancredi
I have a big family but we don't see them all the time. Normally, it's just me, Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Alex.
Daddy works in the city. He has an office way up high with big glass windows. When you look down the people and the cars are so small they look like toys!
Daddy's job is to make little toy buildings. He calls them models. When he works at night, he brings them home and lets me drive my cars through the streets.
Mommy's job is at the shelter. She says she helps but Uncle Alex says she works as hard as Daddy and she's there every school day, so it's like a job. Some afternoons, me and Uncle Alex walk to the shelter to meet Mommy. It's a big old house with lots of bedrooms and a big swing in the garden. There's always kids there to play with.
Uncle Alex used to be a policeman, like Officer Matt on TV. But that was a long time ago. Now, Uncle Alex takes me to school and picks me up at the end of the day. After school, me and Uncle Alex play catch or bake cookies in funny colors or read my school book. Some afternoons, he plays Mario with me. Uncle Alex always plays as Luigi and says that Luigi can't jump very well and that's why he dies a lot. I think he's just not very good at it.
Every Summer, we drive for a long time and go camping. Daddy and Mommy and Uncle Alex and me always get there first and start putting up tents. Then Uncle Linc and Aunty Sofia come and sometimes they bring LJ. LJ's my cousin but he's all grown up so he's more like an uncle.
Uncle Linc always says I've grown bigger and says I'm his favourite nephew. It makes me feel bad for Uncle Nando's kids because they should be someone's favourites too.
Uncle Nando is my most fun uncle. When I see him, he always says, "Hola, Little Fish!" and lifts me up and spins me around until I'm so dizzy I think I'll puke. His family came from Mexico and he can speak Spanish. He teaches me words like hola and adios. That means hello and goodbye in Spanish.
Uncle Nando always brings Aunty Maricruz, Lila, Marcos, Dangelo and Araceli. Dangelo's only two and Araceli is a baby so they can't play. Marcos is five and Lila is seven so us three are allowed to explore the woods and play tag and make smores with Mommy and Uncle Alex.
That's my family.

Date: 2010-08-12 07:50 am (UTC)There actually is. I think there was more, too -- questions answered by Jason and a fic called Dentists and Bravery (or something like that) all set in this universe. It was started before s4 ended, and according isn't supported by canon, but I love the idea of this family unit, living in San Diego and working, and catching up with old jail-breaking buddies every summer.
It's sort of hilarious to imagine Michael - only ever had Lincoln, lonely recluse Michael - with twenty people over for every birthday, holiday, weekend, etc.
Hee. In my mind, it would only be every summer they'd all catch up. They'd all live in different cities (I think Linc would have settled in Panama with Sofia, Sucre would be in Chicago with Mariecruz, Michael, Sara and Alex would be San Diego), but once a year, there'd be a big camping trip where all three families hung around for weeks together. They'd be late night talking, and someone watching over the kids, and this real sense of belonging to large family, despite the distance that usually seperated them.
I don't think Michael would be able to handle more so many people more often than that. (And even once a year, he'd probably try to escape to be on his own for a while during the camping trip, when everyone got too much for him.)
