Present:
King looked at Dixie. "You got into Julliard?" He smiled brightly. "I tried back when I was younger and got denied.."
Dixie nodded slightly and smiled. "Didn't get in?"
King laughed. "I got in, I just had family stuff going on and couldn't end up going." He sighed. "Acting or Music for you?"
"Acting.." She smiled back taking a drink.
King smiled. "Same here.." He refilled his cup. " In any plays? I've been in a lot of them when I'm not working... My favorite is Macbeth..along with so many more."
"I was in the king and I, along with Cleopatra, Arsenic and Old Lace.." She looked up at him smiling. "What?"
"Musicals?"
"Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd and West side story...Oh... and Hairspray." She laughed softly.
"What out of all of them where your favorite?" He took a bite out of a packages of donuts he got out for them.
"That would be, Hairspray. I loved the outfits, along with the songs." She smiled taking one of the donuts, and took a bite.
A year ago:
Maggie came the next day, Shane and Rick went fishing, Lori left Carl with Beth to go to a doctors appointment. Maggie and Dixie to go head into Atlanta to get some stuff for the farm, along with grab some work boots.
Dixie hugged her dad, and slightly hugged her mom. She got into the truck and headed out with Maggie, she sighed gently.
"Still upset huh?" Maggie asked looking at her.
"Yep." Dixie sighed rubbing her face.
"About that thing with your mom?" Maggie was trying to get her to talk about it.
"Yeah." Dixie looked at her. "Dads going to be really hurt.."
"What happened?" Maggie asked as she merged off the highway to go into Atlanta.
Dixie bit her lip looking down slightly. "Mom….Moms having another baby." She admitted slightly.
Maggie smile slightly. "Well that's great." She then frowned. "Why would Uncle Rick be hurt by it?"
"I…" She sighed looking up at Maggie. "She's getting an abortion."
"Oh." Maggie frowned looking down. "I'm sorry… How'd you find out?"
"She told me." She sighed getting out at the farm supply store with her. "Her appointment is today.." She walked in with her, she texted her mom asking her to reconcider it but got no answer. They looked around. She was trying really hard to focus on what her uncle and aunt needed at the farm. She kept really quiet. Maggie kept trying to talk to her on the ride home, and Dixie finally just broke down crying as they pulled into the driveway.
Maggie bit her lip and pulled her in for a hug, and rubbed her back. Hershel came over to get the boots out of the back along with some feed bags and noticed Dixie was crying. He came over and opened the door.
"Whats going on?" He asked patting her back.
Dixie bit her lip and shook her head. "Just...a lot.." She said trying to get out of the situation, she wiped her eyes and got out of the truck. She walked to the back and helped.
Hershel looked at Maggie. Maggie looked down. "It's… not good daddy."
He nodded, and sighed walking to the back.
They started to unload the truck along with the Dixon brothers helping them unload - Hershel had hired them earlier that year because he wanted to give them a fresh start.
