After the unforgettable Christmas in Boston, the new year brought new projects for young pair formed by Samuel and his girlfriend. The idea proposed by Tracy to Jessie, had been taking shape in the minds of her. So, before she returned to LA, she proposed him the possibility of living together in Boston, while they were engaged in study and work. After valuing pros and cons, they concluded that the idea was not only feasible, but also was crazy. They decided they were going to do anyway. Happiness was reflected in the faces of the two lovers when they took this stupid decision.

After much searching, Samuel found a small but cozy apartment near the university. The rent was cheap, because that apartment wasn't distinguished precisely by its luxuries. To begin it's perfect! -Samuel thought. But it would need some things. When he said to Jessie, she almost turns crazy with happiness.

One weekend, Samuel returned to LA. After going for Jessie to her apartment, they went to his parents house to tell them their plans.

- So you have decided you are going to live together in Boston -said Diane- Have you thought about how this may affect your studies? -she asked inquisitively at Samuel looking into his eyes.

- Quiet, Mom -Samuel said in a conciliatory tome of voice- We have thought about it. And we have decided that my studies... our studies -he said looking conspiratorially to Jessie- are priorities.

- But... How will you earn enough money? -Diane insisted in worried tone-

- Mom, don't insist. I'll work on 'Cheers' in the evenings, and Jessie in a department store with a friend of her. Do you remember to Miller family ?.

Not satisfied with the plans of her son, Diane insisted one more time:

- And what if Jessie gets pregnant?

- That's not going to happen... -Samuel said to reassure her mother-... well ... at least for now... -he said again looking at a smiling Jessie.

- But if nonetheless, she gets pregnant… -Diane returned to insist with few ones desire of yield in this matter.

- Diane -Jessie said in a conciliatory tone but couldn't hide her happiness- Samuel and I always take... cautions.

- And what if you get pregnant? ... -Diane was increasingly distraught. One thing was a passion of one night and another very different, to be going to live together.

- ... Then we will be grandparents, -said Sam ditching the subject, as he smiled at his son and his girlfriend.

Sam! -Diane protested almost like a little girl who's stolen a balloon.

Samuel seized the opportunity to intervene. The time of the requests had come:

Since we have entered matter, we wanted to ask you a little help. Jessie is going to take to our new apartment in Boston, almost all the furniture of the apartment she has here, but we need something more. So I wanted to know if you lend us some things that you have in the attic. A lamp, chairs ... all that ... You know.

Diane was shocked and speechless. What did it mean to "new apartment in Boston"? When had that happened? And another question Why the rush? Why had not asked her old maiden apartment? Many things started to spin all around. Her head was a pressure cooker of unanswered questions and changes in her perfect family environment.

Taking advantage of Diane´s confusión, Sam said to his son:

You can get what you want from the attic Do you remember where it is, right?

Thanks Dad! -Samuel said euphoric.

Thank you Mr. Malone! Jessie said smiling.

Mr. Malone? -said Sam with reticent tone- Do you call her "Diane" and me "Mr. Malone"? Look at me girl: Call me "dad" or at least "Sam". Because if you say "Mr. Malone" I think you're talking to my father -the boys smiled with amusement- And now go up above ...Come on!

When the boys went up to the attic, Diane came up to Sam. With sad tone and a bit overwhelmed she said him:

Sam... All this issue is madness… You know it! Do something!

Yes, Diane. It's madness. And no, I will not do anything. -Sam sentenced.

Why not? -Diane insisted.

Because it's their madness - Sam argued- Furthermore, they were going to do anyway... they would not listen to us. They want to do it their way, with almost no help from anyone, to prove... I don't know why... And that, my love, must be respected. You have to trust in Samuel. He's strong and clever, he has the best of both of us, and I also believe that we have done well with him -Sam was noticing as Diane was yielding- Remember when we decided, years ago, we were going to live together, you and me, nobody supported us...? Well... -Sam said thoughtfully-... indeed... the "Coach" yes, but others… -after a small pause a few seconds, Sam eventually went on as if he would return of a dream- What I mean is that I don't want that to happen to my son. You should understand it. I want support him... I want that Samuel feels that his parents always will be there, to his side, supporting him at all times. I want that he has this support at the moment of overcoming all the challenges that him arise in his new life.

Yes Sam, is true ... - Diane admitted. She was meeting without arguments, but she insisted once again like of custom-... But they are so young…

Ah, of course! Mother hen and her chick. Sure, sure! You're afraid that Samuel leaves the shell, that he flies away from your nest -Sam took her tenderly in his arms, and looking into her eyes.- Look honey. I'm scared too. Remember that he's my son... or that you've been telling me the last twenty years... -Sam looked as Diane laughed a little with his joke- What I mean is that this is the law of life, we've all had to do at some point, it will be difficult for him at first, but I promise you that I will not leave him abandoned to his fate, that I will careful that he does not miss anything, as I always have, as I always do until I die.

Diane remained slightly calmer, she was feeling that her worry was not going to be a load that had to go from now in solitarily, to her side,as always, Sam would be to share it and to accompany her.
