Chapter 9: Friendship and Family photo's

Betty woke stretched ,put on her glasses and got out of bed. It had been a long busy week but it was finally the weekend .She grabbed her robe and a towel , then headed for her bathroom stopping when she heard the familliar tone from her cell, signaling a new text message. She walked over to her lamp table and picked up her phone, reading the screen, she saw it was a text from Daniel.

"Join me for lunch?" The message said.

She smiled pressed reply and texted "Sure.", before heading back to the bathroom . She showered got dressed then went downstairs and into the kitchen, where she found Henry eating breakfast.

"Morning , Betty." Henry said, when Betty entered the room.

"Morning." Betty said smiling at Henry, Betty had fully forgiven him for what he'd said to her and they were slowly rebuilding their strong friendship .

"What are you up to today?" Henry asked as Betty made herself a bowl of cereal .

"Having lunch with Daniel , we're probably going to hang out afterward." Betty said.

"How's his memory?" Henry asked then took a bite from his toast.

"Hes still remembering little things here and there, which his doctor says is a good sign."Betty said as she poured milk over her frosted flakes.

"Thats good ." Henry said taking another bite of his toast.

"What are you doing today?" Betty asked then took a bite of her cereal.

"A bit of surfing, then I have a date." Henry said smiling.

"Really, thats great." Betty said happy for him.

"I'll see you later." Henry said clearing his finished plate and placing it in their dishwasher.

"Have fun." Betty said smiling at him.

"Thanks, you too" Henry said then left the room.

Betty finished her breakfast and as she placed her cereal bowl and spoon into the dishwasher she heard a knock at the door, surprised yet happy to see the person standing on the other side of the door.

"What are you doing here?" She asked looking at her watch.

Daniel woke up with a grin on his face. He had been anxious for the weekend to arrive and now it was finally here. He picked up his phone and texted Betty, five minutes later he got a reply. He smiled and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. He emerged fifteen minutes later and thought about his plans for the day, he had called Tara-Lynn the other day to get a new recipe and was going to get Betty to make it with him when they got together for lunch.

He showered and dressed then has his driver take him to her house so they could go get the ingredients at the grocery store and start the cooking process. It had been awhile since they'd cooked together so Daniel was really excited and had been looking forward to it. His last session with Chloe , she had suggested he get a photo album and have the important people in his life give him pictures of themselves with Daniel or of specific events that he could look at to try to bring back some memories, which combined with the use of the journal he'd started writing in would help him regain more of his memories.

He stood outside of Betty's front door and knocked, he heard footsteps approach and then the door opened. Betty appeared surprised to see him since it was ten o'clock but she smiled at him, so he knew she was happy to see him.

"What are you doing here?" Betty said stepping aside so he could walk in with his crutch in hand.

"I got a new recipe from Tare and I thought we could cook it for lunch, I need a couple of ingredient's though, you want to come with me to the store" Daniel said shyly .

"Sure,have a seat while I get my jacket,phone and purse" Betty said leaving the living room and heading upstairs to her bedroom.

Daniel sat down and looked around her living room, he saw pictures of Betty and Hilda as kids , her parents wedding photo and a couple pictures of Justin and Lily from babies to present age, he could tell just from the pictures how close the Suarez family had been and that made him wonder about his own relationship with his parents . Since he'd awoken he'd mostly spent time with Betty and Tara-Lynn, and a few dinners with his mother, but Bradford, his father had sort of disappeared after he made sure Daniel had everything he needed for his therapy and recovery.

Last he heard his father was in Italy, he occasionally sent him a postcard now and then but , the messages were quick and impersonal, something Daniel had a feeling was the norm in his relationship with his father,it still bothered him though. The man was still his father after all , but he guessed his family wasn't exactly close bonded like the Suarez's seemed to be in their photo's. The photographs he'd received in a box kept in the attic of his mother's house, from Tara-Lynn, were nothing like the pictures Betty displayed in her home, there was only two with the whole family together, one after Tara-Lynn was born and Daniel was nine and another with just Daniel as a baby with Bradford and Claire.

When he had looked at the second picture of his family together, something went off in his brain that something was wrong with the picture, he didn't know what it was , but it seemed like something was missing, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly it was, when he'd told Tara-Lynn and Claire about it , they both had become uncomfortable and changed the subject which made him even more suspicious. He wanted to ask his father about it but with the time difference , contacting him via phone was difficult and he didn't use email.

Daniel broke out of his reverie when Betty reentered the room.

"You ok?" She asked noticing his serious expressions.

"Yeah, just thinking about some things, ready to go?" Daniel said changing the subject and putting on a fake smile.

"Yeah". Betty said still a little worried about him but decided to let it go.

She held the door open and they walked down her steps and over to his waiting town car getting inside. Daniel showed her the new recipe , which she found very interesting and couldn't wait to try out and they talked about how the rest of their week had gone , as they headed to the organic food store.
