Be234therz: Yeah, I cried as I was writing her leaving! I could just see it, soooo sad, when I have a boyfriend, I hope I don't have to leave him to go to Nevada! lol Thanks!

LilCwick: Thank-you! I know, it's only sad for a little, then it's all happy, happy stories are just….nice, lol.

They all finally moved into the living room, where they all were dying to know how Danielle got here.

"Well, first of all, I knew I couldn't stay in Nevada, I couldn't handle it, so my Dad got an offer for a job back here, and they were going to drive back, since all of our stuff was there, but they said I could fly here, and since I don't have a car here, I ran here from the airport,"
"You ran?" Frank asked

"Yeah, I had to see you guys, other than my parents no group of people makes me happier,"

"Danielle," Helen said, sounding like she was going to cry, "You absolutely without a doubt, HAVE to marry William."

Marissa sat down next to Danielle, "We missed you, Danielle, and you can't ever, ever, leave again,"

"Oh, don't worry," She started, as she put her arm around Marissa, "I won't."

They all stayed there and talked to her for what seemed like numerous hours. After William finally convinced them to let him talk to her alone, they went and sat out on the front porch, it had stopped raining, again, symbolic, of course. They sat down on the lighthouse porch's bench, and William turned to her and said, "I don't believe this, you're actually back,"

"Yeah, I can't believe it either, I didn't want to leave in the first place, but what can you do?" Danielle said

William sighed, and said, "I don't know what I would have done without you," he said

Danielle smiled, and shook her head, "I don't either,"

William leaned in to kiss Danielle, she had never been kissed like that before. She had also never felt this way about anyone before either. No inside the house seemed to care they wanted to be alone outside, which was why they went outside in the first place, but that didn't stop nosey Christina and Dylan from coming out on the porch anyway. "Whoa, dude, this isn't France," Dylan said, Christina had to laugh, that was just too hilarious. But Danielle and William had no choice but to acknowledge their presence.

"Can we help you?" William said sarcastically

"Yeah, we needed to come spy on you," Christina said

William shook his head, then said, "Can you just go back inside,"

Danielle turned to look at them and said, "They don't have to, it's O.K."

"You're a little too nice to them," William said laughing

"I know," she said

Then Helen came out on the porch and said, "Did they come out here and bother you?"

"No, they didn't." Danielle

"Actually they did," William said

"Rat," Christina said

"Hey." Helen said, "Why don't you just come inside and leave them out here, they probably would like to be alone,"

"Thank-you," William said

"Anytime," Helen said

After they had talked about the five days they missed together, her parents finally arrived, and she had to leave.

When William came back inside, Frank was the only one in the living room.

"Where is everyone?" William asked looking around

"Upstairs," Frank answered

"Why…..?"

"Because I wanted to have a talk with you,"

"Oh..kay….."

"Now, William, I know you're almost an adult, but I think I should ask you…." He looked around and quieted his voice, "You and Danielle haven't…."

"Haven't…..what…..?"

"You know…."

"Actually I don't, could you please just ask me,"

"Have you had…."

"Sex? No! At least not yet….you know, why do you need to know?"

"Because as your father I think I should be clued in on these things,"

"Alright, is that all, or are there any other personal things you'd like to ask while I'm here?" he asked sarcastically.

"No, that was it, thank-you for clearing that up,"

"Not a problem,"

As William proceeded up the stairs, Dylan caught him as he was going to his room.

"Hey, I heard your talk with Dad,"

"Look, I would prefer not to discuss personal things with anyone, including Dad, but now you want me to discuss them with you? Not happening," William said

"Just hold on a second. You must be crazy if nothing happened with you guys yet,"

"Hello, I'm not talking about this with you,"

"If it were me I would've-"

"Excuse me, please do not think of my girlfriend in any sort of context that involves the two of you. And, that's probably the reason she isn't with you,"

"Yeah, that's the reason,"

"Look, the reason that hasn't happened with us yet is because we aren't ready for it, and…this isn't your business so remind me why I am saying this,"

"William, William, William…I still can't believe that,"
"I really don't care what you do and do not believe, so I am done discussing this with you,"

Dylan laughed, and William proceeded down the hall quickly so no one else could talk to him. When his door shut, Dylan ran down the hall to Christina's room, and banged on the door.

"What?" She said

"Hey, can I ask you something?" he said

"Yeah…."

"Has William had any girlfriends before?"
"Before Danielle? One or two, but all the others ran from the eight kid thing, and the two that remained, he managed to hide it from them, but when they found out, they left too,"

"Wow, that makes Danielle like the golden one, right?"

"It also makes her the crazy one, who would want to date a guy with seventeen brothers and sisters, if she wasn't so nice, I'd call the asylum."

"She's not crazy, I think she's actually like his perfect match, but that's not what I meant,"

"Oh you mean what he and Dad were talking about downstairs, yeah she'll be 'the one.'"

Dylan threw his head back and laughed, "This is a good day,"

"Why?"

He laughed again, "Because." he said and proceeded down the hall to his own room.

A/N: This chapter was a little silly, lol more soon, and what will Dylan do with that tidbit of info? Don't worry no public humiliation, just black mail of some sort, stay tuned!
