A/N: I know, I shouldn't really be starting a new story, not when I have so many others that I need to update, but this one just popped into my head, and I just had to write it! And to those who are reading my other stories....I promise I'm going to update one of them tomorrow! And the last week of October, I have school off, so I should get a lot of writing done then :)

Disclamer: I own nothing, of course.

Never in her life had Anna Monroe felt as guilty as she did now. She felt like she was being a horrible mother, betraying her only daughter, but what could she do? Her granddaughter needed her, and Anna could never turn down that sweet face of hers.

So as Anna had lied to Lindsay about spending a week with Lucy on the ranch, she convinced herself it was for the best. As she bought the plane ticket, she convinced herself that Lindsay was wrong and that Lucy needed to do this. And now, as she watched her ten year old granddaughter stare out the window as they made the descent into New York City, she wasn't so sure if ths was the greatest idea after all. Aside from the fact that Lindsay would kill her when she found out where they were, Anna was beginning to really wonder if this was the best for Lucy or not. Lucy had been saying that she wanted to do this everyday for the past two weeks, but Anna remembered what her daughter had said when she showed up in Montana, nine years ago.

"He doesn't even speak to me anymore, and it's as if Lucy doesn't exist to him anymore. I can take him pretending that I don't exist, but with Lucy--I'm not going to give him a chance to break her hear."

Hearing Lindsay's hurt voice in her head made Anna want to take control of the plane and fly back to Montana, forgetting all about the plan. He didn't want him to hurt Lucy as well, but as soon as she saw the excited look on Lucy's face as the plane began to land, she knew that she had to give the guy a chance. Maybe he had changed. Besides, if she decided that they had to turn back now, Lucy would never forgive her for getting her this close to him and then deciding that it was wrong. No, she wouldn't do that to her.

"Are you ready?" Anna asked, giving Lucy a smile as soon as people began to leave the plane. Lucy took a deep breath and nodded.

"As ready as I'll ever be," she answered, returning the smile.

Together, they exited the plane, both having that feeling of uncertainty about what was to happen next.
