A/N: Well, here you go, an update finally! Sorry for the delay but I've been really busy. Originally this was to be the last chapter but I figured a few people may hunt me down so there will be at least one more plus and epilogue.

Bryn pulled herself up into Sig's pickup truck and smiled at him as he put the truck into drive and slowly backed out of the driveway. The drive to Aiken's was a quiet one, just under five minutes after they had left; they had arrived at the restaurant. As soon as the truck was parked, Sig jumped out, locked and shut his door then practically ran over to Bryn's side. Bryn gave a small laugh as he opened her door and helped her out.

Sig wrapped an arm around her as they walked towards the restaurant. He opened the door for her and gave a small wave to one of the patrons.

Back at Dana's

"Why did you do that?"

"Do what?" Tina asked, sipping her tea as if nothing had happened.

"You attacked her again," Brynjar said.

"I was not attacking her; I was merely pointing out that she shouldn't be dating anyone. She makes too many mistakes in choosing men," Tina said, "Look at this new guy she's with, a crab fisherman? What kind of job is that?"

"You know what, Tina? You need to give him a chance and stop being a bitch. Oh and by the way, did you forget that my father was a crab fisherman?"

Tina only rolled her eyes and took another sip of her tea.

Aiken's Restaurant

Bryn struggled to breathe as she wiped the tears from her eyes because she was laughing so hard.

"So he seriously jumped off of the roof?" she asked.

"Yeah," Sig said with a laugh, "Umbrella and all. Norman and I called him Mary Poppins for the longest time."

"Wow, he really is nuts."

"You have no idea. So, tell me Miss Eriksen. What is it that you want to do with your life?" he asked as the waitress took their plates away.

"Well, at one point I wanted to be a helicopter pilot for the Coast Guard and then I got pregnant and that dream literally flew out the window," Bryn said with a sad smile.

"Why don't you do it now? I don't think that you want to be a bartender for the rest of your life," Sig suggested.

"You're right, I don't. I was actually thinking about doing it. Like I mean why not? I've got the time," she said with a laugh.

Sig smiled as he took a drink of his coke and then looked at his watch.

"Well what do you know? It's after eleven. I'm surprised that Doug hasn't kicked us out yet," Sig said.

"He obviously must like you if he's letting you stay," Bryn replied with a smile.

"Yeah, well I've only known him over 20 years. "

"That will do it," Bryn laughed.

"It has its advantages," he said "I guess I should get you home, your dad might hurt me."

"Nah, my dad is cool. It's my mom that you should be worried about. She could probably eat you alive."

"Well, in that case, off we go!" Sig said acting scared "I'll just pay this and we can go. Be right back."

Bryn watched as Sig walked off towards where Amy, their waitress was standing. He paid the bill and walked back to her. He offered her his arm just like a gentleman would have in the old days. She linked her arm through his with a smile and they made their way to the truck. When they reached it he unlocked her door and helped her into the truck. He then unlocked his door and started the truck.

Like the drive to the restaurant, the ride back to Dana's house was quiet. When they pulled into the driveway Bryn cringed when she saw that almost all the lights were on in the house.

"I am so dead," she sighed.

"I'm sure you'll be fine. At any rate, if I don't hear from you tomorrow I'll call the cops."

"Well, thanks for dinner," Bryn said with a laugh "I had a great time,"

"So did I the first in awhile," Sig said.

Bryn leaned over to him and gave him a quick kiss and then said goodbye. She slid out of the truck and walked towards the house, hoping that her father was waiting up and not her mother.

As soon as she walked through the door she wanted to turn around and walk back out again. Her mother was sitting at the kitchen table, glaring at the door. Her father was no where to be found.

"Where have you been?" Tina growled.

"I went out for dinner with Sig. I told dad," Bryn said, trying to stay calm.

"Do you know what time it is?"

"Oh my God, mom I am 26 years old, I am not a little kid anymore!" Bryn said in frustration.

"You may not be a child but you sure as hell don't act like an adult. Sometimes I wonder why I ever had children. They are nothing but a burden. Aksel is determined to be famous, it will never happen so he's wasting his life. You, you got yourself pregnant and then let Peter kill the poor boy. And as for Oddmund and Auildhild, they are the only ones I can depend on!" Tina yelled.

Bryn's face went beet red, this was the final straw.

"I did NOT let Peter kill my son. I loved him more than anyone, including you. Ever since he died you have treated me like shit and guess what. I am not going to take it anymore," she paused "I am sick of this. As long as you are in this house I am leaving."

Without waiting for a reply Bryn stormed out of the house and started walking. Where to she didn't know, she just knew that she had to get away. Soon she realized that she was close to the docks and decided that she might as well keep walking. She'd see if anyone was on the Northwestern.
