Shelby walked over and knelt beside Rachel.

"Say, hi to Jessie, Rachel," she said

Rachel smiled "Hi," she said bashfully.

"Much less talkative than she used" to be, Jessie said "Much calmer too, and she's twice s adorable," he said turning to Shelby. "I'm so excited that I get to spend the week with you two," He said smiling back a Rachel. Rachel fro part was very confused. She looked up at her mother quizzically.

"Jessie's mommy and daddy are out of town this week, and we're really good friends so Jessie coming to stay at our house while his parents are away." Shelby explained to the confused girl.

This just confused Rachel all the more, her dad's had been leaving her at home for extended periods of time since she was twelve, Jessie was 17 cold her not care for himself? Rachel was pulled from her thoughts when she heard her momma's voice.

"So what do ya say we get out of here and stop for some lunch on our way home?" She said

"That sounds great Shelby!" replied enthusiastically.

Shelby grabbed Rachel and the diaper bag, Jessie followed close behind with several overnight bags. When the trio returned to the Corcran home from lunch, Jessie went up to the guest bedroom to begin unpacking his stuff while Shelby took Rachel into her nursery. She changed her diaper and removed the pink short alls she was wearing and just left in her in the yellow onsie. After Shelby changed and played with her baby, she returned to the living room setting her on a blanket with some blocks and set about to do some house hold chores. Jessie finished unpacking and came down to the kitchen to find Shelby busy at work folding laundry on the dining room table.

"Is there anything I can help you with Shelby," He asked.

"Actually, can you go look after Rach, while I do some housekeeping," Shelby told him folding a little pink onsie and placing it in the basket.

"I would love to," Jessie replied with a bright smile. He exited the kitchen to find Rachel playing with her various toys scattered about the blanket.

"Hey there Rachie," He cooed. "Can I play with You?" he asked her.

Rachel smiled and nodded her head enthusiastically. Rachel had grown quite attached to Jessie over lunch, and now it seemed that she had him wrapped around her finger. So Jessie sat and they played everything from ponies to a tea party. As much as he loved Rachel she was getting quite rambunctious and he could tell she needed to burn off some energy. He looked over to where Rachel was bouncing on the furniture before going over to the girl and scooping her up in his arms. She pouted.

"Hey Rachie! Why don't we go ask Mommy if we can go to the park?" He asked her excitedly.

Rachel's eyes light up and she clapped her hands. "I wuv the park I wike goin onn da swings," she told him. Jessie found Shelby cleaning up in the nursery.

"Hey Shelby, would you mind if I took Rachel down to the park to play?," asked holding Rachel on his hip

"I don't see why not that would be an excellent just be home by 5:30 for supper, here," She said throwing him Rachel's previously discarded short alls put these on her. Jessie did as instructed he slipped Rachel's shoes on her feet. He then found the stroller that Shelby told him about and the two walked to the park. Once at the park Jessie soon found that Rachel loved the swings after a whole half hour of pushing he, she finally decided that she was done and wanted to play on the play structure across the park. Soon she was engrossed in her make believe as the huge structure turned from a Broadway stage into a Pirate ship. When 5:15 rolled around and Jessie told her it was time to leave Rachel began to protest, but stopped when Jessie told her he would let her mother know that she was being very naughty. As Jessie set Rachel in the stroller she looked up at him.

"Jessie," She asked innocently.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"We be on Broaway togever thomeday?"

Jessie's heart melted and he smiled at her.

"I'm absolutely positive of it little one,"

On the work back from the back Rachel babbled quietly and Jessie hummed to her. She seemed to be getting sleepy and he was quite pleased with himself and sure Shelby would be too. When he entered the house with Rachel on his hip leaning her head on his shoulder, Shelby was sitting on the couch idly flipping the pages of a magazine. Shelby smiled at the duo. Before insisting on taking a few pictures

"Just in time for dinner," she said.

She lead them into the kitchen and removed Rachel's short alls again. Dinner was filled with Shelby and Jessie's conversation over regional's and school and his parents, with an occasional input from Rachel. After dinner Shelby took Rachel to have bath and get ready for bed. While Jessie cleaned up the kitchen, when Shelby returned a very sleepy Rachel on her hip to make a bottle Jessie headed upstairs to get ready for bed. When Jessie returned to the living room he saw Shelby in the rocking chair with Rachel cradled in her lap singing her a lullaby

In my daughter's eyes,

I am a hero,

I am strong and wise,

And I know no fear,

But the truth is plain to see,

She was sent to rescue me,

I see who I want to be,

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

Everyone is equal,

Darkness turns to light,

And the world is at peace,

This miracle god gave to me,

Gives me strength when I am weak,

I find reason to believe,

In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger,

How it puts a smile in my heart,

Everything becomes a little clearer,

I realize what life is all about,

It's hanging on when your heart is had enough,

It's giving more when you feel like giving up,

I've seen the light,

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

I can see the future,

A reflection of who I am and what will be,

And though she'll grow and someday leave,

Maybe raise a family,

When i'm gone I hope you see,

How happy she made me,

For i'll be there,

In my daughter's eyes.

As Shelby ended the song Jessie entered the living room and took a seat on the couch and watched Shelby gaze adoringly at a now sleeping Rachel, before interrupting.

"Can I ask you something Shelby?" he asked.

"You can always ask me anything Jessie," She told him.

"Why do you do it," he asked.

"Do what," she countered with honest confusion.

"This," He said indicating the sleeping child as Shelby replaced her bottle with a pacifier. "Why are you babying Rachel, like literally babying her?"

"Well, Jessie," Shelby began. "For two reasons, One: I never had her as my baby girl like I've always wanted and now I finally have that, and two: her fathers have been neglecting her since she was about 11 and she was so lonely and broken when she came to live with me I can't help but think she needs it.
