Lou and Peter come through the door of Jacks house as a little boy and girl runs past them Lou looks at them "Ethan, Emily come on slowdown"

Peter rubs her shoulders and he pulls her into a hug from behind "come on honey it was a four hour car trip let them run some of their energy out"

Ethan and Emily run through the doorway into the living room where Jack is sitting

Jack laughs as they jump onto his lap "There's my rugrats" he pulls them into a hug

The kids continue to talk at a mile a minute as Lou and Peter walk into the living room

Jack looks up and sees Lou "there's my girl" he looks at Ethan and Emily "ok guys let your old grandpa get up and give your mom a hug" Ethan and Emily get up as Jack gets up and gives Lou a hug than stands back and looks at her "how is one of my favorite girls?"

Lou smiles back at him "I'm doing good grandpa, where's everybody else at?"

Jack looks at her but he can get a word out Mallory comes through the door "is anyone home?"

Lou yells out "We're in here Mallory?"

Mallory walks into the room "Hey guys"

Jack goes up and gives her a hug "hey stranger"

Mallory looks around "Where are Amy and Ty at?"

Jack looks at her "Well Amy called and said they were on they were almost here an hour ago

Amy walks in the door and overhears him "And we would have been if it wasn't for Mr. Shortcut" she walks in the room holding her youngest daughter Samantha in her arms

Jack walks over to her and gives her a hug and kisses Samantha on the fore head "there's two of my other girls"

Lou looks at Amy "Where's Ty at?"

Ty walks in holding Marion with one hand and John with the other and trying to juggle luggage "trying to referee"

Amy looks at Marion and John "guys y'all have got to stop this arguing" she looks over at Jack "they've been fighting the whole way here grandpa"

Jack looks at her "well I think I know something that will help" he looks at Marion "come over here little princess"

Marion runs over to him and he picks her up and carry's her out the door "I've got something to show you" he takes her out the door and starts to walk towards the horse barn followed by Amy and Ty

Jack carries Marion in the barn and takes her over to a stale with a white horse in it "this is scooter Marion"

Marion looks at the horse "she's so pretty great grandpa"

Jack looks at her "now that your six years old, your around the same age that your mom and your aunt Lou were when we gave them their first horse and two years ago when Evan and Emily turned six they got Star and Thunder, and now Scooter is all yours, happy birthday sweetheart"

Marion gives jack a kiss on the cheek "I love it great grandpa" behind them Ty and Amy smile as Ty hugs Amy from the back "see that face, I've never seen more of you in her than right now" Amy smiles back at him as he kisses her

Later that evening Ty is in the kitchen Jack looks at him from the kitchen table "so how is work going?"

Ty turns around and looks at Jack "it's been so rough lately Jack I mean I've on night calls almost every night, Marion and John have been arguing like dogs and cats lately and Samantha's been having on and off nightmares and between all of this I feel like Amy and I are just growing apart, we've barely had Any time for just us"

Jack looks at him "you know, you sound almost exactly like Peter did when I talked to him earlier but I think I have a solution" Ty looks at him "I'm listening" Jack continues "Well I could watch the kids tomorrow night and you, Amy, Lou and Peter could go out on the town just the four of you"

Ty turns to look at Jack "I couldn't ask you to do that, have you met our kids much less Evan and Emily"

Jack looks at him with a stern face "hey look I have years of wisdom in the area of kids I'm pretty sure I can handle five kids for a few hours besides" he stands up and walks over to where Ty is standing "I remember how stressful it was to be a parent" Ty looks at him "ok we'll go"

Jack smiles at him and leaves the room, Ty turns around and looks out the window to see Amy standing at the fence, he walks out the door and joins her at the fence where she's just staring off and puts his arm around her waist "what's on your mind?"

Amy looks at him "I don't know just being here, I never realized how much I've missed this place" Ty turns her around to look straight at him "I know I've missed it too" they turn back around and staring back off at the sunset
