A/N: sorry if I confused every one with the last two chapters, this is the last flashback. The next chapters (3) will be the ending. The ages of Matthew and Angela in this story are 3 and 6.

Flashback-Summer before Angela gets sick

Walker sat on the front porch as the evening sun was finally setting. The next morning they would be leaving for the reservation for the summer holidays. Angela was very excited; she loved seeing Sam and White Eagle. This year Matthew would get his Cherokee name and become a recognized member of the tribe.

The next morning Walker and Angela were the first ones up in the morning. Walker began to fix a pancake breakfast and with Angela, standing under his elbows, on a step-stool at the stove to help him pour the batter. They soon had a big breakfast waiting on Alex and Matthew when they got up.

After breakfast Walker went outside to load up Amigo, Angel (Alex's mare), and Meeko into the trailer. When they arrive at the reservation, Alex and the kids start bringing the suitcases in to their old cabin where Walker grew up with Uncle Ray; While Walker unloads the horses and take them in to the corral. As everyone finishes unpacking there is a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Angela says as she climbs down the ladder to the loft bedroom.

She opens the door and finds Sam Coyote standing there; she eagerly gives Sam a big hug.

"Daddy, Sam's here."

"I came see that, Angel. Hey Sam, good to see you."

"Nice to see you too, Walker."

After talking with Sam for awhile Walker and the kids went down to lake and with Dad's help cast their lines in to catch supper. The first line to have a nibble was Angela's

"Daddy, I got one."

"Looks like a strong one." Walker said as he goes over to help Angela reel in her fish.

"It is."

Finally the fish was out on shore. It was a huge fish.

"I think that fish is part wale." Walker teased, causing the kids to laugh; He loved seeing Angela's sweet smile.

Later that night…

Walker climbs the ladder to the loft after Angela to put her to bed as Alex gets Matthew in bed in his small room downstairs.

"You know Angel this use to be my room when I was your age?"

"Really?"

"Yep I had just come to live with Uncle Ray, and he let me have the loft."

After telling her the story of coming to live with Uncle Ray after his parents died, Walker tucks Angela in an give her a kiss on the forehead.

The next morning Walker was as usual the first up, he goes outside to the corral to start getting the horses ready for the trail ride up to their camp site. When he came inside he saw Alex already fixing breakfast in the kitchen. She was wearing the tear dress that she had borrowed from Sam's wife Shannon.

"Morning Daddy" Angela said as she climbed down the ladder wearing her tear dress, Alex had beautifully braided and beaded Angela's hair.

"Morning Angel."

Walker goes over to Alex and gives her a big kiss good morning.

"Morning cowboy"

"Good morning."

"Morning Daddy." Matthew said as he appeared at the doorway to his room.

"Well since everyone is up after breakfast we should be able to leave for the camp site." Walker said as they sat down at the table joining hands while Walker gave the blessing.

After breakfast they had everything loaded on the mule that Walker barrowed from Sam

"You guys ready to have some fun." Walker asked as he helped Alex to mount Angel. And then picked up Matthew and got him settled on the Amigo. Then he helps Angela mount Meeko, then mounts Amigo behind Matthew As they start off down the trail, they meet up with other members of the tribe to go on the yearly camp out. Angela starts singing an old Cherokee song that Walker taught her, Walker soon joins in and soon everyone is singing along as they ride down the trail.

That night the festivities began to celebrate Matthew getting his Cherokee name. The night was filled with dancing and food. Angela and Sam's six year old daughter Michaela shined in the dancing. Matthew was named 'Dyami' meaning Eagle. As the camp fires roar everyone sits down and listens to White Eagle tell old Cherokee legends at around eleven o'clock everyone heads to their tents to get some sleep.
