"This isn't something that can be fixed right away Sully. So, much has happened that I don't even know where to begin." Michaela said as she lay wrapped in his arms. She had always felt so safe in them. As if the outside world couldn't touch nor harm her.
"I want to make our marriage work." he said as he bent down to kiss her. After years of marriage Michaela was still as beautiful as the day they had met. "But we still need money. That's means I'm still going to have to leave home to find work."
"I know, it's just that I keep thinking about when I thought you were dead."
"You're never going to forgive me for that are you Michaela?"
"I felt so alone and scared, thinking I would never see you agian," she laced his hands through hers. "Hold you again. Then when we lost the baby…"
"Helping out Cloud Dancing and the Indians seemed like a good idea at the time. If the opportunity came up again I don't know what I'd do. But love you Michaela and if-"
"Sully perhaps we should discuss this later hmm?" she said as a playful smile spread across her face. They fell on the bed as one, resolving the issue till morning.

"Sarah!" Brian said as he jumped up to greet her.
"Dr. Mike said you'd be here," the girl laughed quietly pleased he was so happy to see her. "Though I'm not surprised. You're always here workin' on something for Miss. Dorothy."
"And you're always off taking care of that family's children in Denver." he retorted.
"It wouldn't matter anyway since there's no fellow here askin' for me." her eyes danced ,teasing him.
"I heard there was one boy, Brian Cooper. Seems pretty sweet on you too."
"I never noticed. Seems he's too busy writin' articles."
"He's willing to make time." he said embracing Sarah into a kiss.

"Thank you for bringing Katie, Matthew," Elizabeth Quinn said coming into the elegant bedroom. "And yourself," she patted his hand warmly. "It has been sometime since I have seem my grandson."
"I missed you too Grandma."
"Though you don't look happy." she said wisely. "How's that girl Katrina I hear so much about?"
"She's fine."
"You must miss her. I remember the last time you were here. You couldn't wait to leave."
"I don't mind Boston. And Dr. Mike wants me with Katie."
" 'You should never forget the past, but don't live in it.' wise words a friend told me. Now I say the same to you."
"You think I should marry Katrina."
"What I think doesn't matter, now does it?"

Minutes went into hours and hours turned into days as Jake sat by Teresa's side. Funny, he had never though he could love someone as much as he loved her. He guiltily remembered their argument and hoped he would have the chance to make it up to her. Nicholas cried every night for his mother's kind, caring touch.
Through the years, Teresa had softened Jake. He was no longer so quick to act, quick to judge. Slowly he grew into a more quiet, understanding man, a side to himself that people rarely saw.

Okay, that's it so far. So, tell me what you think, good? bad? Also did Matthew ever call Michaela's mother Grandma? I know Colleen and Brian did…
"Bye Mrs. Quinn!"
"You can call me Grandma!" Brian calls
"Bye Grandma!" ~from The Visitor, season 1
LOL remember that?
