Elaina and Frank went out to the stables to see Hank. He was in the tack
room working on a saddle. "Need any help today?" Elaina asked.
"You two bored already?" Hank laughed.
"Actually, I'm getting tired of his constantly wanting to make out." Elaina laughed.
"Hey! You did I complain about you grabbing at me yesterday? I don't think so," Frank stated.
"If you two kids don't mind, I really am busy here and could care less about your sex life," Hank scolded them and then laughed at the look on their faces.
"I'm sorry Hank. I guess we were being rude in front of you," Elaina apologized.
"Why don't we leave him alone and go riding?" Frank suggested.
"I don't think so, too cold. We could go shopping Hank said there was a new antique shop in town?"
"Window shopping or actual shopping?" Frank asked.
"You mean there's a difference?" Elaina laughed.
"I'm not packing anything back to Chicago. So if you buy anything it stays here."
"Boy you sure can spoil a good day of shopping before I even start," Elaina's said acting ticked.
"You'll survive not buying anything for the other ranch."
"So are we going or not?" Elaina asked.
"Ok, we can go. Hank, do you need anything from town?" Frank asked.
"Can't think of anything. You two go have fun," Hank told them.

Sab and Cody walked into her loft. Sab saw that Sarah was still asleep. Derek sat on a stool by the counter with his homework laid out.
"What took you so long?" Derek smirked as he saw them come in.
"That wasn't funny what you did," started to say. "But thanks."
"No problem. Can Becky come over to do homework like you said?"
"I don't know. Should we let him call her?" Sab asked, turning to Cody.
"Well let's see, locking us in an elevator, worrying you half to death and us almost killing each other," Cody thought for a moment. "Yeah, let him."
"Just don't do it ever again." Sab said as she heard Sarah waking up.
"Wakie, wakie Sunshine," Cody said as she saw him. Sarah laughed as the intercom buzzer sounded.
"Pizza guy!" Derek ran to the intercom. "Hello?"
"Hey, its Becky," a girl's voice replied.
"Come on up." Derek turned to face Sab.
"Pizza guy?" Sab asked a bit angry.
"Well, I didn't know how long you two were gonna be, so I kinda just invited her over," Derek explained.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with you," Sab said shaking her head. "How long till the pizza gets here?"
"Any minute."
A knock at the door got Derek running to it. He opened it for Becky, his girlfriend. "Hey!"
"Hi." Becky walked in and he gave her a kiss.
"Awe..." Derek turned to see Sab and Cody staring at them.
"Quit it," he said, blushing.
"Come on Cody, we'll go get the pizza," Sab said picking up Sarah. "Is somebody hungry?" Sarah nodded, smiling.
"We'll be a few minutes," Cody said as the two walked to the elevator. "Those two gonna be ok, alone? Together?"
"There'll be fine," Sab answered as they step into the elevator. "What can they possible do in 5 minutes?"
"I don't know what do we do in 5 minutes?" Cody joked.
"Their 17," Sab said as the elevator stopped. "They know better, especially when we can get them in trouble."
"I guess you're right," Cody said as he sees the pizza man. "I got it." He paid for the pizza then they headed back to the elevator.
"So how's this parenting thing going on for ya?" Cody asked as they head back up.
"Going ok," Sab said, making a silly face at Sarah. "Still thinking of starting our own family?"
"You know I'd love that," Cody said as he gave her a quick kiss, the elevator door opened. "So you think they'd expect us back this soon?"
"I don't know," Sab said as she put Sarah down to open the door. "Derek, Becky, pizza is..."Sab stopped in mid-sentence shocked at seeing Derek and Becky on the couch making out. The two scramble to sit up.
"I thought you'd be a few minutes," Derek said, sitting up buttoning his shirt.
"Pizza guy was just outside," Cody replied. "I'll just go put this in the kitchen. Come on Sarah." Cody took Sarah with him to the kitchen.
"Are you gonna say something?" Derek asked looking at Sab who was still standing there in shock.
"Oh, I'm gonna say a few things," Sab started. "First of all, you two are way too young to be doing that, especially on my couch." Derek turned away embarrassed.
"Second of all, Becky, I think you should go home. He's now in more trouble then he ever thought possible," Sab said as Becky quickly grabbed her jacket to leave. "Oh, and Becky..."
"Yes?" She turned around.
"We will be talking again," Sab said as she nodded and left.
"Ok, so what's my punishment? Clean up the apartment?" Derek joked, getting off the couch.
"Sit back down. You think I'm joking?" Sab said upset. Derek sat back down. He had never seen her like this. "How far have you two gone?"
Sab's question took him by surprise. "I'm not gonna tell you," Derek said defensively.
"Fine. You can talk it over with your parents," Sab said walking to the phone.
"Wait! You're not going to tell them are you?" Derek asked, worriedly.
"Give me a good reason not to," Sab snapped at him as he sunk back on the couch.
"Are you going to tell me or do I have to get Elaina on the phone?"
"We've gone just a little further then what you caught us doing," Derek replied, embarrassed.
"Do you love her enough to go all the way?" Sab asked walking over to sit on the coffee table in front of him.
"Sab, come on." Derek tried to avoid the question.
"It's a simple question, do you love her?"
"Yes I do."
"Ok, are you willing to give up school to take care of her and a child, if she got pregnant?"
"Ok, end of discussion," Derek said, getting off the couch.
"Well that just goes to show you." Sab said, walking toward the kitchen.
"Show me what?" Derek asked turning to her.
"You're not ready for what you think you're ready for," Sab replied. "Derek, you have a long time. Don't just jump into it."
"You're still not going to tell my parents, right?" Derek asked.
"I won't say a word," Sab said as Derek breathed a sigh of relief. "You're not off the hook, buddy. You're gonna tell them."
"I'm not going to tell them and neither will you. If they find out you left us alone, they'll eat you alive," Derek said with a smirk.
"Go ahead and tell them, it will just prove to them, I can't trust you either," Sab replied.
"And it will also prove that they can't trust you, and you'll never baby- sit Sarah again."
Cody walked back in with Sarah. "Derek! That's enough. What you did was wrong and you're not going to black mail her into covering for you. Besides you're forgetting that I saw what happened too. If you continue to try to blackmail Sab, I'll pick up the phone and tell them right now."
"Thank you for saying that Cody. I know Derek will tell them exactly what happened or I will. And Derek, that's a threat and a promise." Sab took Sarah from Cody. "Now let's eat."

Frank and Elaina went to the antique shop Hank had told her about. They looked around with Elaina seeing a lot she wanted but didn't buy anything.
"You feeling ok? You didn't buy anything," Frank joked.
"I liked a lot of what I saw, I just told myself if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't know about it to just look and move on."
"I'm proud of you for finally realizing you don't have to buy everything you see."
"I can go back and by something if you want?" Elaina turned as to go back in.
"No! How about we go eat somewhere?" Frank suggested keeping her from going back in.
"I'd like to go home and let you warm me up the way you did yesterday."
"Are you that cold or do you just want to get back to the honeymoon?"
"I think a little of both, besides that's why we came here, to be together as much as possible." Elaina leaned up against him and kissed him.
"Ok you've convinced me, let's go."
"You two bored already?" Hank laughed.
"Actually, I'm getting tired of his constantly wanting to make out." Elaina laughed.
"Hey! You did I complain about you grabbing at me yesterday? I don't think so," Frank stated.
