Ok its like really short, i know, and i have not updated in along time. I had finals and everything, which i did really good on. also my cus was killed, and i just couldnt seem to write anything after that, usally because i would be waiting for his calls, he always calls when im writing to tell me im a " hopeless fanfiction addict" this is just what i could get out. hopefully its just like the rest of my story. R&R please, it would do my soul some good :)

Steph wanted to hear the words from Ranger, she needed to hear him say them. She never really felt special to anyone. He mother was always trying to get her to be more like her sister, or one of the other Burg girls, Joe wanted her to be the perfect Burg wife, no one really wanted her to be Stephanie, to be who she is. She knows that Ranger does not want her to change, in fact he seems to be one of the few people that want her to be her own person, he just wants her to be safe.

"Babe. I feel a connection to you. I love you, its just not in a way people would like." Ranger kept eye contact with his Babe, he saw her eyes fill with tears. He thought that he had said something wrong, or that his Babe did not want to be his Babe anymore. He was not good at this emotional crap.

"Why wouldn't someone want to be loved? What's wrong with the way you love?" Steph was not going to let this go, after all he was the one to start this conversation, and he was going to have to finish it, she wanted to know why Ranger would bring her close only to push her slightly away. He was talking, and there was no way that she was going to let this opportunity pass.

"Babe." Ranger hung his head for a minute thinking about what his Babe just said to him. Only her, his Babe was the only person he knew that could ask a question, which made him think about what he just said, or did. What was wrong with the way he loved Babe. Nothing that he could think of, he would do what ever it took to make sure she was safe, that she was happy and healthy. He was not sure if he wanted to get married again, he never thought about it, he only married Rachel because it was the right thing to do. He did not regret that decision, not once but he could not see himself as a married man, not now at least.

"I can just love you Babe, you and only you. You are the only woman in my life, I can make a promise to care about you and love you, but I don't know if marriage is something that I can do. I'm told that is what most women want." Ranger said while looking her in the eye, trying to gauge her reaction, but for once, he couldn't.

"I'm not most women Ranger."
