I know...

Wrapping his fingers around Jade's and entering the house Dan was so nervous himself. His main concern about this whole thing was Jade's parents. He was older than her and he new she was still young. They could not agree and it could turn out very bad. That was the last thing Dan wanted, so he hoped and pray they would at least be open minded. After all it wasn't Jade's mom he was to worried about, it was Mick.

Keeping up with Jade as she almost pulled him down the hall the smile never moved from Dan's face. He felt like he was in high school again. The excitement, the nerves and he was loving every moment. Entering the kitchen Dan stands on one end his arms around Jade. Being introduced to her mother he gives a small wave with a friendly smile.

"How could I not want to stay for dinner when something smells so good already. As long as you have enough to go around and don't mind me just dropping in like this."

Watching as mother and father interact Dan's smile widens just a little. It was nice seeing Jade's mom actually letting her daughter answer and not just telling her no. Both the looks on there faces were hard to explain but it eased Dan's own mind about her mother.

Turning his head to see Ben as he walked up beside him Dan smiles and gives a small nod. I guess he did know how to make an entrance. He never really thought about it till this moment that this really was a romantic thing to do. Even after Katie had said it was too.

"Hey, first impressions right? Whats better than making sure you daughter is happy!"

Returning Ben's hand shake Dan can't help his own beaming smile. It felt good knowing he was accepted, and it felt good to hear what Jade has said without hesitation to her mom about being sure. Hearing Ben's comment about Jade Dan gives another nod, and grin as he looked back over at Jade.

"I know she is, thats what I love the most about her!!"

Standing there with her Dad, having him show her how to brush the horse the right way Thirteen felt a warm feeling in her heart. It was something she'd never felt quite like this. Though it couldn't be seen and some might think it was there, it was a warm loving feeling. He really did care.

"Circle, circle, circle, brush, than scrap. I think I got it."

Thirteen was excited she was getting the hang of brushing the horse. Taking note that she was enjoying just getting brushed and the first out of her coat.

Continuing to brush once and a while Thirteen can't help but glance at her dad's hand on top of her own. It felt so warm to her. Hearing Trent's comment though made Thirteen just a little bit sad. He really did wish he could change anything thinking he wasn't good enough. But she loved him anyways, and didnt care what had happened in the past.

Not being able to help it, and knowing she said she would take it slow Thirteen didn't care. She felt so bad for her Dad and she just wanted him to know she loved him. Turning just fast enough so Trent couldnt move Thirteen threw her arms around him burring her face into his chest. Though her words were muffled she talked loud enough to be hurt.

"Dirt, and scratches are what make us who we are. I can look past yours, if you can look past mine too."

Just listen to Gunner's voice made her feel so good. It was calm, it was full of hope, but at the same time it cracked her heart just a little more knowing it would still be a while till she saw him again.

"I trust you Gunner, I know we will be able to be together again. It just feels so far away."

Bree lets out a sigh as she glances up at the clock. She new there time would be up already so soon, she just wanted a few more minutes. Letting a few more tears roll out of her eyes Bree takes in a breath of air leaning her head against the wall behind her.

"When I come to visit I'll bring a float, and gum. I look forward to see you again, everything just feels so empty without you."

Letting the silence rain for another moment Bree listens to Gunner's breathing on the other end. She could feel it on her skin, like he was standing right next to her, oh how she missed his eyes. Than the though comes to her, through this all she forgot to tell him one thing. He'd given up so much to get her out of the hospital.

"Gunner, thank you for giving up everything to save me..."

Bree snuffs on a few tears that ran hot down her cheek.

"...it means a lot to me that you did that."

Giving a little nod Rosetta understood what Mick was saying without him using words. Dylan was far from being nice, but at least he was here and not putting up much of a fight. Heading into the kitchen Rosetta pulls out some plates to warm up some left over food.

Something between skipping and running BJ goes back into the other room and grabs the red and black checkers from the table. Trying to juggle them and the bored at the same time he goes back to the dinning room table. Stopping for a moment as he see the new body sitting at the table BJ just stands there looking at him.

Finally moving again BJ goes around as if he was going to sit on Mick's side but keeps going till he comes to the extra chair on Dylan. Putting the checker bored and checkers down BJ struggled just a little in the bigger chair but finally makes it up and onto it. Putting his hands and arms on the table like Dylan had it. Just looking and watching him intently it shown in BJ's eyes he was intrested in who this other boy was.
