Chapter Six

Joey couldn't ever remember being so happy as he was today. He had never gone fishing before, and it was a new experience for him. Watching Mokie and Greta laughing about putting the worm on the hook, well he couldn't do that and Seto smiled and did it for him. Then when he got a bite he nearly threw the rod into the water and ran the other way. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. When it was time to go home everyone including Joey was tired, wet and smelled like fish, but they were all happy.

When they got home everyone went to take a hot shower, bath or even both, and then Roland took the fish out back to prepare them for Greta to cook. As Joey was standing under the hot water he couldn't stop smiling, he was so happy to be alive. Then reality sank in and it hit him like a ton of bricks. He had a session with Doctor Gruber in two days. Joey didn't want to spoil the mood so he had to mentally slap himself to stop thinking about what was going to be.

Dinner was great, Joey hadn't ever eaten fish that tasted so good. He complimented Greta on how great dinner was and she beamed with pride and smiled at him. Then he stood up and said to everyone "today was the best day in my entire life. I haven't laughed or experienced anything like I did today and I want to thank all of you for letting me be involved in your family. You'll never know what it means to me."

Greta stood up and walked around to where Joey was and she put her arms around him and whispered "listen, just between you and me you are more like my son then the others." This made Joey laugh out loud and he kissed her cheek and hugged her back. After dinner, Greta got out her famous Peach Cobbler and the first piece went to Joey. When they were all done, Joey asked if he could help do dishes and then Seto spoke up and said "I think that since Greta did most of the catching of the fish, we should all do the dishes." Greta said "I agree."

As the men did the dishes, Greta sat there and put her feet up and watched them fumbling around. She would burst out laughing when Roland threw some soap suds at Seto and then pretty soon it was out and out soap war. By the time they were done, Greta didn't know which was cleaner the dishes, her kitchen floor or the guys. When they were done, she told them all to go and she'd put things away. So one by one they all kissed her good-night and went to the living room to watch a movie.

It was around two in the morning when they finally went to bed, and for once Joey was so tired that he never had a bad dream.

When Seto drove Joey to see Doctor Gruber, Joey was silent and then he spoke up and said "I don't know if I can do what the Doctor wants me to?"

Seto took Joey's hand in his a squeezed it and said "just be yourself and you will be alright." Joey smiled at him and as the limo stopped and the driver got out, Joey looked back at Seto and something happened that neither of them were ready for. There was some kind of connection between them that frightened the hell out of them. Joey got out and thanked the driver and walked into the Office. Seto sat there in the limo wondering what the hell happened? Why was he having feeling like that for Joey? Did he really love Joey? Hell he was confused.

Joey sat there waiting for his session to begin and he too was talking to himself about what had just happened and it scared the living hell out of him. He liked Seto as a friend, but could it go beyond that? What would happen to them if it did, would people condemn them for what they were feeling? God, he was so confused. The door opened and out walked Doctor Gruber and he smiled and held out his hand to Joey. As they walked into his Office, Joey wondered if today would be the day that he really opened up and let all his emotions out?
