They stepped outside the car, wearing their rain gear. Chad holding Jasmine.

"Well…" Jasmine suggested "We could call a mechanic?"

Chad hoisted Jasmine higher onto his hip "What a great idea! Oh," He turned his head "Do you see any signal towers?" Taylor was about to scold him but was cut off

"Mm-mm." Jasmine shook her head swiftly.

"Okay." Chad kissed the child's hair

Taylor looked around "We could go look for one? I'll go?"

"Are you sure?" Chad said uneasily, opening the trunk and placing Jasmine inside.

Taylor nodded "I'm sure, if I'm not back within 5 hours, come look for me." she said, making Chad even more afraid.

"Hey Mom?" Jasmine said "Can we use the emergency blankets?"

Taylor smiled softly "Sure you can." Jasmine spread some out and Chad tucked her in

"Taylor-" Chad began

Taylor turned "Yes?"

He gazed "….Be careful." he sighed

Taylor took his hand gently "I promise…." she let go and went.

Chad sighed and went to the car.

5 minutes later he was in the back with Jasmine.

"So, you're going to have a new family member soon?" he smiled

"Yes…I suppose…" she sighed

"You aren't exited?" He asked

"Not….really…." Jasmine shrugged "I don't care for my mom's decision…"

"How so?"

Jasmine inhaled "He treats me like I'm invisible, he never wants me around, he always does mean things to me when mom isn't looking, he's way too conceited, he's incredibly obsessed with my mother and most of all, he doesn't like me!" Jasmine counted off "That's a short version of it all!"

"Then why don't you tell her that?" Chad reasoned

Jasmine blinked silently, tears forming in her eyes. "Because he makes her happy!" She whimpered, burying her face in Chad's shoulder.

Chad looked sympathetically at her "Oh Jasmine…." he lifted her up "No one can influence your opinion….you just need to tell them how you feel as politely as you can….just tell her…"

Jasmine sniffed and looked up "Really?"

"Really….it will be okay." He said, hugging her "I promise…"
