Ive screwed up all my other stories. So I'm starting over.
Kate was packing her clothes in her bag Rick walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her shoulder.
"Hey babe,are you ready to go,"
"Yeah I've finished up the story," he kissed her cheek and went to get his bag.
It didn't take long cause for some reason there wasn't as much traffic which was weird for New York.
"May the zombies are coming and everyone is hiding,"
Kate rolled her eyes. "And before you say there is no such thing as zombies just remember the zombie case,"
"They weren't actually zombies they were just people dressing up as zombies,"
"Killjoy," he mumbled under his breath.
They pulled up at the cabin the clouds were dark but it was still warm out when they got out of the car but there was a little breeze coming from the river behind her dad's cabin.
There was another car in the driveway. "Is there anyone coming up this weekend?" Her husband asked.
"Sophie was coming up tomorrow maybe she came up sooner,"
"Katie," Jim said from the patio they walked towards the cabin and into Jim's open arms.
"Hey dad," she said to him as her dad hugged her.
Jim hugged Rick after Kate.
"Hi Son," The words were unfamiliar to Rick he had always wanted a father to call him Son.
"Hi dad," he said back.
"Well let's get in side," Jim said to both of them.
"Where's my granddaughter?" Jim asked. "Is she not coming up for Christmas and is Martha joining us,"
"Alexis is finishing up with finals and Mother is at a retreat of some sort."
They heard a nose coming from the kitchen. "Who is here dad cause we saw a car in the driveway,"
The smile came off his face. "I have someone I would like you two to meet in the kitchen,but first I have to get something upstairs and get something excuse me" he headed upstairs.
Rick took Kate's hand in his and lead her to the kitchen. When they walked in the kitchen there was a middle age woman getting gimgerbread cookies out of the oven.
"Hello," she said with a big smile turning around. "You must be Katie and her husband Rick,"
"Yes but I prefer Kate,"
"Oh sorry,"
"Excuse me I have to get the bags from the car," Kate said walking out of the kitchen.
"Oh dear," The woman said under her breath.
"She's just tired, it's being a long week," Rick spoke up.
The woman gave him a small smile before turning back to her cookies.
Rick walked out to the car to talk to Kate.
"Honey are you okay,"
"I'm fine, I just wanted to get our bags out of the car," she said slamming the boot of the car.
"Okay," he said picking up his bags and placing them in Kate's old room.
"I have to call Alexis, are you sure your okay,"
"Yeah I'm fine,"
As he walked past he pressed a kiss to her temple.
Kate walked back into the kitchen were Jim was sitting the woman was no longer in the kitchen.
" Let me explain Katie," Jim said to her,
" I'm a grown woman dad I don't need you to explain so you don't have to give me the whole she's not here to replace your mother talk,"
" I wasn't going to give you that talk cause you know that's not true, I was going to explain to you my moving on process,"
" Okay go on,"
"Your mother and I had a talk one night that if something was to happen to one of us, we wanted each other to be happy even if it was moving on,"
" What's her name?"
"Rose but we are taking things slowly we have only been on three dates and she wanted to come up to the cabin and meet you and Rick and Alexis and Martha"
"Does she have any kids?"
"Yes but she hardly sees them, her ex husband and her divorced years ago and the kids haven't forgiven them for the divorce,"
The room was quiet as Kate was trying to take her fathers in life all in.
"So how's things going on with you and Rick,"
"It's going good dad,"
"Where is Rick anyway,"
"Talking to Alexis,"
"So can I be expecting anymore grandkids?"
"Things at work are busy and we don't want to rush into anything we just want to enjoy married life first,"
