Zac kept his word about making it up to Jessy by showering her with gifts, adventures, and Jessy's favorite, his love and attention. "Mom, Daddy? Umm." Jessy said as she approached them. "What sweetie?" Walker asked as she paused. "Jessy, baby what's wrong?" Diana asked. "It's Zac. He's driving me crazy with all these gifts, and outings. I don't think I can handle anymore of his guilt. I've tried about everything, it's like he doesn't even listen to me when I explain it's not necessary. I could have sworn the last time we talked about it, he understood that I don't blame him but.. Oh no he's done it again." Jessy said producing a present. "Daddy I feel, you know sometimes I, it's just.." Jessy was too embarassed to finish. "Baby you can tell us anything. You know that don't you?" Diana shared taking her hand and stroking it. "Mom I feel, don't take this wrong, but I feel like a kept woman must feel. You know everytime I'm the least bit down, he comes home with more presents to cheer me up. I mean at that time of the month, I get blue for no reason. He's going to waste all his money trying to make himself not feel guilty because I'm not happy all the time. We'll never be able to buy a house and have a family, we'll have to stay with you and Daddy forever." Jessy explained, kidding to keep from crying. "Oh baby it's okay to cry." Diana said pulling her to her. "Don't tell Zac though, he'll buy me something else." Jessy choked out between her tears. "Oh sweetie, you're are so precious." Walker said wrapping his arms around the two of them. "Jessy, baby what's wrong. Are you okay?" Zac asked entering the room. "What are you doing here? You supposed to be with your brothers." Jessy managed to get out between sobs. "I just couldn't leave you. They understand." Zac said. "See what I mean. Ike and Tay have been after him all week to go to that new arcade down the hill and he promised us he'd go, but oh no Jessy said she didn't want to go, so now he doesn't go." Jessy complained, adding, "And what's this, you promised me you'd stop. You told me that you understood I don't blame you and there was nothing for you to make up for, Zac you didn't do anything wrong. Why don't you believe me?" Jessy said extending the present towards him before breaking down and crying, finally rushing to his arms. "Baby don't cry, please." Zac pleaded. "Why not Zac, that's how I feel, I feel like crying. You don't believe me how else should I feel, happy. Zac if you don't believe what I tell you we'll never make it." Jessy insisted, gasping trying to stop her sobs. "Jessy I do understand, and I believe you. You are going to feel so bad when you open that present. Why don't you give it back to me?" Zac asked. "What? No way that's mine. Why do you want it back?" Jessy asked. "Because I love you babe, just give it back to me, okay?" Zac asked again. "No. You gave it to me, it's mine." Jessy said ripping the paper off and lifting the lid off the box revealing a letter from Zac. "Jessy, I know I'm not suppose to give you things but I had to let you know how much I love you for loving me so much you put up with my stupid guilt trip. Jessy I was just so afraid you were putting on a front, to ease my guilt, and you were secretly hurting inside over what the sicko has made you give up. I never loved you more than when you explained and helped me understand how you truly felt. I've never felt closer to anyone before as I felt holding you in my arms as we bared our souls to one another. I was starting to worry that I'd be spending all our money buying you things to make you happy and we'd never be able to buy a house and raise a family, that we'd always have to live with Mom and Dad. Just kidding babe. I love you more than anything but you only proved that even that love still grows. Devotedly yours, Zac." Jessy read, "You're just so wonderful." Jessy choked out as she started to sob. "I must be making you cry again." Zac teased. "Here Mom read, Zac's worried too about our living with you and Daddy forever." Jessy said handing them the box before hugging Zac and kissing him deeply. "Wait a minute, you ain't getting off that easy. You said you were going with Ike and Tay and you didn't. Zac, I feel like I'm coming between you guys and I don't like feeling this way." Jessy shared. "You're not baby, I promise." Zac insisted. "Hun that's probably true, but it's how it makes me feel when you tell them something and then change it because you want to be with me. Tell you what instead of us going with the family tonight to that party, if it's okay with Mom and Dad, and if you get Dad to take you to catch up with Ike and Tay and you enjoy yourself, why don't you and I stay home alone tonight, you know like a date." Jessy suggested. "Mom, Dad okay by you?" Zac asked. "You know it might be what the two of you need, some time alone." Diana suggested. "Well Zac, let's go see if we can find your brothers." Walker said. "See you babe." Zac said kissing her sweetly before heading out. "Jessy he has his father's gift. I could have sworn this was the letter Walker wrote me. When we get back home, I hope you'll let me share them with you. Baby I was so touched when you handed me the letter, for you to include us in your love like that. Just thanks." Diana said looking away. "What is it Mom? Mom?" Jessy asked again, moving to her side, gently lifting her hand and stroking, "Mom you know you can tell me anything don't you?" "I shudder to think what my life would be like without you in it. Remember Sunday before you girls left, we were all in your room and I shared how you were the answers to my prayers?" Diana asked. "Yeah Mom, I remember." Jessy whispered, sitting at her feet, still holding her hand. "Sweetie, I had prayed for the boys to find their someone special, you know and it looks like they have, umm.... but even though I prayed it, Jessy, I've been so afraid that we'd, you know, the family, would change somehow and the boys would leave us." Diana finally explained tears, filling her eyes before she finished, "Jessy what you just did, so openl sharing you and Zac's love with us, and him not coming unglued becaue you had. Well it just renews my faith, that the family will only become stronger." "Oh Mom," Jessy said rising and hugging her before finishing, "I sure hope so because the family is Zac's past but it's our future. Swear this is between you and me, well maybe Daddy, yeah Daddy too!" Jessy asked. "Swear sweetie by the special ties that binds you to my heart the way you do." Diana swore. "Oh Mom you're making me cry." Jessy sniffled. "I know that's the way you make me feel, besides Walker I don't think I've every met a person that I so deeply love as I love you." Diana shared. "Even though I have a Mom, you're more than that, you know you're like a Mom, best friend, playmate, and hero all rolled up into one super person. I'm not sure what it was exactly that made God look so favorably on me and let me know you, but I sure do thank him for you every night before I go to bed." Jessy finished and they hugged and cried before finally, "Now what did I swear to hear?" Diana asked. "Last night I was chatting with Sis and she was trying so hard to convince me I wasn't mad at Zac and we were just chatting and dreaming and we started talking about being married, me to Zac and her to Tay and we were sort of wondering, promise you won't laugh. I mean it Mom you laugh and I'll, I'll, oh I don't know what I'll do but you won't like it." Jessy warned. "God Jessy I swear, just tell me what you two were wondering?" Diana insisted. "Well we were wondering if that new big house you built had like enough room for us to all stay together or would the four, five, or six of us have to share a room." Jessy finished watching her closely for her reaction, then adding, "Mom I haven't talked to Zac about this, I mean we've talked about getting married, having a family and all but down the road you know, so we never discussed the where of it and now the way things have gone, our where is with you and Daddy." "I couldn't be happier either. Jessy I can only dream that it turns out so well. I do know one thing you are the best thing that could ever have happened to Zac, to all of us." Diana said hugging her before they got busy planning and preparing a knock his socks of evening. With everything well underway, Diana and Mackie ran to the market for a few last minute items, while Jessy took the girls outside to play. The played, danced, and then Jessie and Avie persuaded Jessy to cheer for them, "We've always be home schooled. What's it like? How does everyone get along?" the questioned and as Jessy explained she realized how much she missed it all, even the lousy teachers. "Well at least I went for a while." Jessy said moving to the grass to cheer. "This is my favorite because I got to tumble. Nobody else knew how." Jessy explained as she cheered, ending with a string of flips and twists. "It was even neater because I had a mini trampoline and at the end, I would somersault over everybody's heads and land out front of the line. We took state and regional championship last Spring, we're, I mean they're going to nationals in Hawaii next month." Jessy explained. "How do you do that so well, the flips and stuff?" Avie asked. "Sweetie it just like your dance lessons, you can go every week and dance at class or you can dance everyday and go once a week to learn something new. Practice, practice, practice. Nothing comes easy Avie, you know you have to work hard at something to be really good. Look at your brothers, I've heard their new recordings and I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but they're still practicing because they know they can do better." Jessy explained. "Jessy if I wanted to learn that, could you help me?" Avie asked. "Oh sis, I'd love to help you. I'm so touched you'd ask, sweetie. Thanks." Jessy said hugging her tight not knowing that the guys were back and had watched the cheer, seen her sadness and listened as she explained to Avie and seen her joy when asked. Mom had returned to part of the explanation and the closeness between sisters. "For something new, she's about the best addition a family could ask for. Thank you Zac for finding her, loving her and sharing her." Diana declared hugging him tight. "I'll second that." Walker said. "Mommy, Daddy can I take tumbling lessons please? Please? Sis said she'd help. She's really good, you should see her." Avie asked. "So you really good huh?" Zac asked walking her way. "By the way Zac when I told you about my cheerleading, did I happen to mention I did all the acrobatics because of all the gymnastic lesson I had when I was lots younger, actually I wasn't much older than Zoe when I started. Momma's girlfirend taught and Momma helped out a lot, so I sort of went along for the ride and learned to do this." Jessy said moving back to the grass before flipping, twisting and somersaulting her way across the yard and back. "Man that's fantastic not good." Zac said wrapping his arms around her, whispering, "Serious muscle here babe." as he caressed her butt. "Giving them lessons would give me something to occupy myself with while the love of my life here is in the studio. How about it Mom, Dad? Mackie you want to learn how too? I bet you'd be good at flipping and twisting some day." Jessy asked moving their way. "Me can't do that." Mackie replied. "I couldn't when I was your age either but you know what I kept trying and practicing, I can't count the number of times I landed on my butt until the day came, I was finally strong enough and over I went and landed on my feet not my butt." Jessy explained. "You could teach me?" Mackie asked. "Yeah I could, that is if you wanted to learn." Jessy answered. "Could you teach me?" Zac asked. "Probably as long as you really wanted to learn and not just roll around with the teacher." Jessy teased. "That sounds like fun too." Zac replied picking her up. "Hey somebody looks like they had a good time after all." Jessy said look at the sparkle in his eyes. "Yeah I had a good time, but that look is the anticipation about a date I'm going on tonight. You know this go out and have a good time plan of yours, I decided to try dating. This major babe said yes, so tonight it's just me and her. Bet you're jealous aren't you?" Zac teased. "Oh, I'm so relieved to hear you say you have plans tonight, because I sort of accepted a date for tonight too, a major hottie. I really got it bad for him, I sure hope he doesn't catch on, whoa, if he does we're in big trouble. Oh I don't think I could say no to that hottie." Jessy teased back. "Well I hope you and hottie boy have a good time." Zac declared putting her down and turning away from her. "I hope you and major babe have a good time too, so there" Jessy said turning, "Mom can I help get everybody ready for tonight?" Jessy offered. "Yeah sweetie. Jessie, Avie go to you rooms and get cleaned up your clothes are on your bed, Jessy picked them out earlier. Walker do you think you could oversee Mackie for me. Why not use our bath, his clothes are on his bed. Boys you're on your own. Jessy could you handle Zoe?" Diana asked. "Sure Mom we'll use our bath then if one of the guys or you want it we'll dress in my room. Come on baby sister, let's get your clothes and get cleaned up." Jessy said grabbing Zoe. "Sis you know you're the major babe right?" Isaac whispered. "Yeah and he's my hottie." Jessy whispered back. 'Relieved." Isaac said. "You butt. How could you think that. Man Isaac, where's your brain. I'm telling my sister what you said. I can't believe you thought that. Ewww!!" Jessy scolded. "Please don't tell Mon, she's still mad at me over something I said. She'll never forgive this." Isaac pleaded. "Well I don't think I will either. Zac straighten your brother out." Jessy complained. "Boy I don't know if that's possible babe. He's sort of a lost cause wouldn't you say." Zac teased. "No hope what so ever?" Jessy asked. "Nope, I just don't see it babe." Zac teased. "I agree, he's hopeless." Taylor teased. "Well if you say so. See you in a while then." Jessy said heading down the hall. "Zac you will be dressing for dinner, it's an exclusive club you'll be dining at, try you tux and impress her." Diana suggested. "Tux might impress her huh?" Zac asked. "I'm sure it would son." Diana answered. Jessy and Zoe showered and wrapped their hair and their bodies in towels and headed out to Jessy's room only to find Zac waiting there. "Like the matching outfits. Tay's still in our shower, Ike's next so I thought I'd see about using yours." Zac asked. "Of course you can." Jessy answered. "Babe will you dry my hair too?" Zac asked. "For you anything." Jessy answered drying Zoe's hair, then dressing her. "Zac if that's you come on in I could use your help." Jessy answered the rap on the door. "What you need babe?" Zac asked. "I can't get this buckle and it's driving me crazy." Jessy answered. "Ac do." Zoe asked. "I'll try baby sis. Babe the hole isn't all the way through. Maybe that's why Mom had it where it was." Zac said looking around the room. "But Hun it's too big and keeps coming off. The other shoe is on the fourth hole, this one needs to be too please. Zac what you looking for?" Jessy asked. "Something sharp and small." Zac asked. "I know." Jessy said moving to the closet and pulling down her sewing box and pulling out a stitch ripper. "Will this do, the tip breaks easily so don't feel bad if it does okay?" Jessy asked. Zac managed to fix the shoe and Zoe helped dry his hair. "Will you drop her off with Mom while I get dressed?" Jessy asked. "Sure. Oh I forgot to mention I like our matching outfits." Zac said tugging on her towel as he left. "Oh Zac." Jessy called pulling the towel from her hair, standing behind the door, sticking her arm out and tossing the towel at him. "Oh you're terrible. This is dirty pool." Zac complained. "Oh here I come then, ready or not." Jessy said before stepping into the hall with her hair showing. "Gotcha." Jessy said racing to her towel, and quickly racing back. "You're asking for it." Zac warned. "Ohhh I'm scared." Jessy teased. "Zac?" Jessy asked. "Now what?" he asked turning back again. "I love you." Jessy said blowing him a kiss. "Yeah I know you do, even when you drive me crazy. I love you too babe. Even when you drive me crazy." Zac said catching the kiss holding it tight. "Me?" Zoe asked. "Yeah baby sis, you can have some Jessy love too." Zac said heading down the hall. Jessy dressed in the sexiest outfit that had been shipped out for the girls but Diana had decided not to give the girls the option. She had shared it with Jessy earlier that day, and both agreed Zac deserved it. The topless, bottomless little number as Diana had so named it a simple, black tube dress, mini in length and Jessy looked drop dead gorgeous in it. Jessy had dried the bottom layer of her hair while the top air dried and then Jessy went to work with the curling iron, putting in tendrels all over her head pinning it back off her face with diamond like butterflies that shimmered. Jessy wore one of Zac's many gifts, the diamond chip choker and her most prized gift the diamond tennis bracelet which she had a hard time putting on. She finished her makeup, tried the bracelet one last time before heading out, "Zac. Zac I need help. I can't fasten this." Jessy said. "Whoa. Wow. Exquisite." came from the group but the "Essy preddy." from Zoe brought the biggest smile. "You look great babe. You sure you don't want to go to this party and show the world?" Zac asked. "Yeah I'm sure. I don't care what the rest of the world thinks, only what you think matters." Jessy answered kissing him sweetly. "On a one to ten scale, I'd say your a hundred." Zac declared kissing her tenderly. "So you need help with that huh?" Zac asked. "Please?" Jessy replied. "You sure you two don't want to come?" Walker asked. "Dear they said no." Diana answered shaking her head no. "Hey smile you two. Who knows when you'll clean up this good again." Taylor teased and snapped pictures as Isaac grabbed his Ike cam only to be joined by Walker before they loaded up and headed out. "Zac you look great in a Tux. Thanks for dressing up hun. I don't feel quite so obvious." Jessy shared. "Say what?" Zac asked. "Well to be honest, my intentions are quite pure. Both Mom and I decided to knock your socks off. The dress is her idea. It came in the box of clothes Chris had delivered but she had decided it was inappropriate and hid it. She offered it to me. She must love you a lot." Jessy teased. "Not as much as what's in the dress." Zac teased. "Wow I got a great Mom." Zac declared taking Jessy in his arms. They turned on the music and danced the night away. Zac helped her warm dinner and they dined out side by candlelight. Later that evening when the family returned, their folks joined them as they danced under the stars. A little after midnight the folks called it quits heading to bed as they cleaned and locked up before heading to the living room to make out. "Zac. Please not here. What if someone woke up and came out here." Jessy asked pulling his hand out from under her dress again. "Jessy please. I promise I won't do anything. I swear." Zac begged. "Zac I don't know. If we start this now where do we go next." Jessy asked. "Yeah I see what you mean. Maybe you ought to marry me now while you still like me. You're going to get tired of my begging. I can see it now, you'll be tired of me about the time you want to." Zac complained. "That's what you see? Man I see us together, married, kids tucked in bed, necking on the couch laughing about the time I wore the sexiest dress, then said no and you carried me off to bed anyway." Jessy said kissing Zac passionately as he lifted her and carried her off to her room, gently placing her down on the bed and climbing on top of her. "I love to look at the world through your eyes." Zac exclaimed kissing her deeply as their passion rose rapidly to heights they'd never experienced. Jessy's dress rode higher and higher with each intentional caress until finally Zac wedged a leg between hers as he stroked her thigh higher a higher both of them moaning their excitement and pleasure. Zac suddenly rolled off, "Babe I can't, we can't. Like you said, where do we go next. Next right now is me making love to you and as much as I want you, we just can't." Zac said rising and heading to his own room.
