And that old star that you been wishin' on
Is shinin' mighty bright
But it's the fire inside your heart
That's gonna lead you to the light"
"Karen, stop!" Henry said running after her.
"Why are you following me?" Karen asked annoyed as she to leave.
"Because you have no way of getting home and you can't walk home." Henry said stepping in front of her.
"And what are you planning to do bring me home?" She asked mad.
"That's the plan, are you ok with that?"
"I…" Karen said as she started to think.
Henry grabbed her cane. "I don't care how mad you are coming with me, you're getting in the car and going home with me." Henry said as he started to walk to the car.
"Are you planning on giving me my cane?" Karen screamed.
"And what let you runaway again?"
"I won't, I promise." Karen said lying.
"Not very believable." Henry said walking back to her.
"What is you plan to get me over there?"
"I'm going to carry you."
Karen backed up. "No, Henry!" She screamed.
It was too late, he had already picked her up. "You know this would be a lot more pleasant if you'd stop talking." Henry said.
"This would be a lot more pleasant if you'd put me down and give me my cane!" Karen screamed.
Henry laughed. "You're a persistent one aren't you?"
"So let me get this straight you'd rather sit in the kitchen instead of going home and telling the kids?" Rick asked Lily.
"It works for me, you've a got a problem with that?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, I'd actually like to go home some times in the near future."
"But if we go home we have to tell the kids."
"Why? We can wait a couple of days. I mean I'm the only one that knows right?"
"Yeah, you're the only I've told."
"So, why don't we just wait till we're comfortable telling the kids."
"But they're going to know something's up."
"You know this may shock you but our kids have their own lives to worry about and a lot of the time they don't have time to worry about our lives." Rick pointed out.
"True, very true."
"Ok, so you agree with me?"
"Yes, I like the idea of waiting. It just seems right."
"Good, now can we leave the kitchen now?" Rick asked getting up.
"Yes." Lily said also getting up. "But I don't want to go home yet, let's go some where's."
"Just as long as it's not another kitchen." Rick said as they started to leave.
"Eli, if you play that music any loader, the baby is going to start crying." Grace warned.
Eli turned the music down. "You're acting like that baby is yours." Eli pointed out.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are. Everything I seem to do is wrong, you're like a pestering mother."
"I have no clue what you are talking." Grace said defensively.
"First I didn't put the car seat in the right place. Then I had the air on too high, then the heater was on too low. Then I was driving too fast and now my music is too loud. Is that enough clues for you?" Eli asked sarcastically.
"Ok, Ok I'll relax." Grace said.
"I doubt it but just promise me one thing."
"What?"
"That the rest of the night will not be like this." Eli begged.
"The rest of the night? What are you going to actually help me baby-sit?" Grace asked hoping.
"Will it get you to shut up and stop bugging me?" Eli asked.
"Yes, it will. And thanks Eli."
"For what?"
"Helping me." Grace said smiling.
"You know I can't help but worry about Mady." Tiffany said as she got out of bed.
"It's our honey moon and you're thinking about our daughter?" Jake asked shocked.
"I can't help it. We left her with two teenagers, remember?" Tiffany pointed out.
"Yeah my very responsible daughter and well maybe Eli really won't help that much." Jake said thinking about Eli watching Mady.
"I know and I trust Grace but Eli…. he's not the most responsible person."
"Yeah but Grace is there so let's just leave it at that. Now will you come back to bed?" Jake asked getting up.
"Yeah I'll be right there." Tiffany said as she got up and headed to the bedroom.
"You know I'm very glad you drove to the wedding because I really didn't want to ask my brother or father to drop us off." Jessie said getting out.
"You're old enough to drive, why don't you?" Katie asked as she followed her into her mother's house.
"My mother would never let me drive, it's not safe enough." Jessie said sarcastically.
"Well do you even know how to drive?"
"No, no one has even tried to teach me."
"Well if you want I can."
"Really?" Jessie asked shocked.
"Sure just as long as you don't wreck my car."
"That would be great! Thank you!" Jessie said happily asked she hugged Katie.
"I'm glad I made you that happy. Now will go change so we go to my house?" Katie said.
"Yeah, I'll be right back." Jessie said running up stairs.
Katie sat down on the couch and waited.
"You know I can walk in my own house!" Karen screamed as Henry carried her in her house.
"I know that but I've gotten kind of used to carrying you." Henry said as they entered the house.
"Mrs. Sammler?" Katie asked shocked as she got up from the couch.
"Mom?" Jessie asked as she came down the stairs. "Henry?" Jessie asked smiling.
"So you don't have to watch Jamie tonight?" Judy asked as they entered his apartment.
"Actually he's mad at me. He doesn't want to see me." Sam said as he hung up his jacket.
"Mad at you for what?" Judy asked questionably.
"For accepting the job in Australia and taking you with me."
"He doesn't want to move to Australia?"
"His mother doesn't want him to move to Australia, so he doesn't want to move."
"Oh, so if you move how are you going to see him?"
"I don't know, I'm hoping they'll both change their minds."
"And if they don't?"
"Then I'm not sure I can move."
