Winter wonderland

Months past and they turned into years. Ennis had gotten a couple of phone calls from Jenny, and he even went down to Wyoming to see her, Jenny even got the chance to meet Jack even if the encounter was brief and to the point.

"Jenny this Is Jack, Jack my daughter Jenny."

She never got the chance to meet Dorrin though, not that Ennis didn't want her to but Dorrin couldn't come down, school was a little more important then a vacation.
Alma jr. never talked to Ennis or saw him when he visited, Ennis had the idea that it was because of her age when he left, she thought he would come back, but never did, she never felt so disserted.

Dorrin had grown like a weed she was tall a couple inches shorter then Jack but she stood at his shoulders, she was fifteen and head of the cheerleading squad at her school, she was always surrounded by friends, but spent most of her time at the ranch with the two people she loved the most. She knew Ennis had girls but she never got to met them, she didn't even think they new about her, she thought it was highly doubtful she would fit anywhere in Ennis and Jenny's weekly conversation.

"The weathers been kind of bad, it's raining there to, got an A on your math Oh that's nice sweetheart, did I tell you about my other daughter?"

She laughed at her own thoughts; she could just imagine Ennis with his quiet character telling Jenny about the daughter he raised with the man he left her to be with.

"Ha great thoughts Dorrin, she'd probably hate me anyway."

Jack came in from the barn with a thud.

"Ouch!"

"Are ya'll right there daddy?"

She didn't even have to think of which one it was she knew Jack was always hitting his head when he came in, in a rush.

"Fine sweetheart."

" I made lunch, its already on the table I was just about to go get ya'll before you came in trying to break down the door."

Jack laughed

"Watch your tongue Dorrin Grace Twist Delmar." He said with a smile

He gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

"What time did you get up at?"

"Bout ten minutes after you."

"I see, did all your chores I can see that too."

"Yes sir, I'm going to go get daddy and I will be right back, don't let your lunch get cold, start eating."

Dorrin put on her coat and boots to go get Ennis, it had snowed so much that morning she had to follow Jack's footsteps he had left coming up to the house to get down to the barn, she got in and yelled for Ennis.

"Daddy!"

"What is it honey?" she could tell he was with the horses because his voice wasn't to far away.

"Lunch."

"Be right there."

Ennis appeared from the corner of her eye so she turned up to go back to the house, Ennis followed in silence before Dorrin hit him with a snow ball.

"Ha got yah." She laughed out.

"Not for long." He said back

They each had a couple of good hits until Dorrin fell down into the snow.

"Ya'll right darlin?"

"I'm fine." She threw another snow ball and laughed, jack could hear them from the inside the house he put on his coat and walked out the door but before he could say anything Ennis pitched a snowball at his chest.

"What the…." Jack trailed of and just smiled

Before any of them knew it, it was twenty-five minutes later and they were all freezing and wetter then the snow it self, they all had some snow in there hair.

"Well I guess lunch is over." Ennis said

"I'll heat up some soup and hot chocolate daddy don't you worry about it." Dorrin said

"Thanks sweetheart."

They all sat at the table changed and warmed up with soup and hot chocolate talking and laughing just a normal Saturday for the Twist Delmar house.
