"Hello Darling, are you working for our daughter?" Sue Ellen asked.
"Yeah, you got a problem with that."
"No, I'm actually happy and like she said if you work for her she might make you a partner."
"I know. I didn't think she would want us around after her and Lucy caught us the other night."
"Me too. JR, when Miss Ellie comes. What are we going to tell her?"
"I don't know. I think of something darling. Well, me and Cassidy want you to come down here and stay on her ranch."
"What about John Ross?"
"Bring him she said."
"I asked him. But, I think he rather stay here with Christopher."
"Alright darling, I see you when you get here. It kinda of lonely without you."

"What ever you do darling me and your momma will support you. If you want to move back to Dallas. Good, but if you don't want to come back to Dallas, don't. Don't do it because of your momma and me."
"I want to come back Dallas. I want to live at Southfork. I want my children to live on Southfork. I want to be near you and momma as much as I can daddy. I want to be near my brother. I actually want to know my brother again." Cassidy said.
"Well, I see what I can do. I see if I could buy a building for you in Dallas. You could just branch out."
"I could. Could I?"
"You would have to find somebody to run the one here."
"I don't know who would want to do it." She said as she and JR got into JR's new Porsche and drove off. Cassidy was thinking in the car about who could take over at Ewing's Publishing. She was thinking about some old friends of hers but decided it would have been a bad idea. Then she thought about Lucy might want to since her and Mitch live in Houston. But, she probably want to stay on Southfork for awhile. "I just don't know who could do it daddy. Do you know anybody that would be worth having as a partner? I mean that would be in Houston running Ewing's Publishing."
"How about Donna Krebbs Dowling, you know Ray's ex-wife. She'll be good as a partner. She lives in Texas now and I be sure she would love it. She and her husband just separate I heard."
"Yeah I know her, I actually met her at a meeting between one of my clinet one day. I hear she is very good."
"Yeah and I think she will do it. I'll call her after we get home."
"Alright daddy. Thank you for everything."
"I should be the one thanking you because you brought me all the happiness in the world when you showed up a couple of months ago."
"I love you daddy"
"I love you too darling." JR said as he continued to drive. When they arrive at Cassidy's Ranch. JR is suprise to see how big it is. "Cassidy, I didn't know you had this much land."
"Well, I didn't know we had this much land either til Hunter show it to me after he brought it. He loves working on the land so much."
"He reminds you of your uncle Bobby, I know you use to say that you want to marry a man like him."
"Yeah, that what I used to say." Cassidy said. "Well, let go inside. I have to fixed up your and momma room." She said walking inside the house.
Sue Ellen was going going through the house screaming John Ross's name.
"JOHN ROSS!!! Where are you!?!" Sue Ellen said as she went to the front door and open it. She saw John Ross and Christopher coming up the porch all muddy. "What happen to ya two?"
"We was at the pond and it was still slippy from the rain and we slip and fell into the mud." Christopher said going past Sue Ellen.
"Well, go upstairs and change." She said as the boys started going upstairs. "John Ross, I need to talk to you. I be in the living room." Sue Ellen said.
"Alright momma, I be right in there." John Ross said walking up the stairs. Sue Ellen walk into the living room and Jenna was there reading a book.
"Hey Jenna" Sue Ellen said sitting down in a chair.
"What up Sue Ellen?" Jenna asked.

"About what?"
"Me and JR, could we be together and not hurt each other?"
"Why are you saying that? I been here for about a month and I see a change in JR that I have never seen. Not even when me and Bobby was little. Sue Ellen, he already to say that he was wrong. He shouldn't had done those things to you. He has change Sue Ellen. He wants his family and that includes you."
"You're right. JR wants to be with me. He actually wants another child." Sue Ellen said thinking positive. John Ross and Christopher came into where Sue Ellen and Jenna was talking.
"What do you want momma?" John Ross asked.
"I was wondering if you want to go with me to Cassidy's ranch?" Sue Ellen asked.
"I rather stay here with Christopher."
"John Ross, I know that you are still kinda upset that me and your daddy got back together. But, you remember that your daddy and me loves you and that will never change and remember that Cassidy loves you with all of heart. You know what? She was the one who was so excited when I was pregnant with you. She would just talk about how having a little sibling would be so wonderful and she love you from the moment she saw you."
"I know that she did. I know that you and daddy will always love me but the thing is will daddy always love you?" John Ross said.
"John Ross, you know what?" Jenna said.
"What aunt Jenna?" John Ross asked.
"I've seen a change in your daddy that I've never saw and I've known him all of my life." Jenna said.
"Well, go and be with him momma. I just don't want him to hurt you."

"Yeah we are, but momma I need to tell you something?" Cassidy said. "You better sit down." Cassidy as Sue Ellen took a sit. "Momma, I'm branching out the company to Dallas so that I can be closer to you and daddy."
"Darling, I'm happy for you but who going to take your place here?"
"That's what I want to talk about. The person who is taking my spot is Donna Krebbs Dowling." Cassidy said with JR supporting her.
"You mean Ray's ex-wife, our Donna." Sue Ellen said with shock.
"Yes, but I was the one who called her. I thought she would be a good person to run the company here." JR said.
"I'm happy for you darling. Did she take it?" Sue Ellen asked.
"Not yet, daddy asked her to dinner. So, that we could talk about it." Cassidy said.
"Gosh, it has been so many years since I've seen her."
"Yeah me too." JR said.
"Momma, will you help with dinner tonight. I'm still alittle new to all this housework stuff." Cassidy asked.
"I would love too darling." Sue Ellen said hugging her daughter. While JR was at the door.
"Are you two done?" JR asked.
"Yeah, why?" Sue Ellen asked.
"Because it is nearly 4:00 and I told Donna we would eat at 7:00"

"JR, why are you putting two new house on Southfork?"
"Well, I know that you really never like living all together in the house so I thought that I would be you a house on Southfork. Since Cassidy is moving to Dallas, I thought that she will need somewhere to live and she probably wants a house herself so I thought about building her one too."
"Really daddy, I love you so much. Thank you." She said giving her daddy a big hug and a kiss.
"JR, I didn't need a house. I love to live at the main house. But, I love you for doing this. It will give us the room that we need." Sue Ellen said.

"I better stay here and work on the barn so more." Hunter said kissing Cassidy and went outside.
"Well, we better get going." Cassidy said walking out and JR and Sue Ellen following behind. They got into Cassidy's Porsche and drove off. They arrived at Ewing's Publishing about 20 minutes later.

"Not yet, daddy asked her to dinner. So, that we could talk about it." Cassidy said.
"Gosh, it has been so many years since I've seen her."
"Yeah me too." JR said.

"I would love too darling." Sue Ellen said hugging her daughter. While JR was at the door.
