Jessy was up with the rising sun and quietly made her way to the dresser pulling on running clothes, brushing her hair into a ponytail. Jessy quietly made her way to the kitchen, grabbing a glass of orange and reading the note left her on the table. "Jessy, Sweetie here's the house key in case your up so early and done before we wake. Love, Mom and Dad." Jessy slipped the chain over her head and tucked the key in her sport bra as she started to stretch. As she headed to the bathroom, she heard Zoe's cries. "Morning Zoe." Jessy said entering her room changing her diaper then heading for a bottle and returning to rock her, cuddling her to see if she'd go back to sleep. "Well you're up for the morning aren't you. Would you like to come with me? I saw a stroller in the garage, so you game Zoe?" Jessy asked as she dressed her. A stop at the table to write a note for Zoe's bedroom door and the kitchen table, explaining that she had Zoe with her and they made their way to the garage where Jessy strapped Zoe in her jogging stroller. Jessy rolled her out of the garage, stopping in the driveway to do more stretching while talking to Zoe after some warmup exercises, the two were on their way. Jessy ran through the neighborhood pushing Zoe as she squealed in delight, keeping track of the time so she could judge on her distance. When she came to the end of the street she headed back, passing the house running in the other direction still. "Got a good pace going there, do you mind if I join you." the good looking brunette asked. "It's not my street. I'm Jessy and that doll up these is Zoe." Jessy said. "I'm Joe. Nice to meet you Jessy and you too lil doll." Joe said speeding up and running backwards, waving a Zoe until she squealed "I call that the squeal of approval. You must be okay." Jessy teased as they continued their run. "Jessy, Zoe this is Greg one of my regular running mates." Joe said and Greg joined the group running ahead and talking to Zoe unil he received the squeal of approval and Joe explained the initiation ritual. The guys took turns pushing Zoe as Jessy jogged up with her to her true delight. "We know Zoe's favorite." Joe pouted as Jessy announced she needed to head back for home as the street came to an end. They were joined by one more running mate, Mike and the trio decided to run with Jessy and they headed back. In the distance Jessy saw Daddy, "Morning Daddy. Zoe there's your Daddy." Jessy called out. "Are we in trouble, he isn't going to freak that you're with us is he?" Joe asked. "No Daddy is cool, oh oh but I don't guarantee how my boyfriend is going to react." Jessy said as Zac appeared. "Well this is my destination. Mike, Greg, Joe thanks for letting us run with you." Jessy said as she slowed her pace. "Anytime Jessy, you're more than welcome to run with us." they answered as they waved and continued on their way. "Morning Zac." Jessy said as Zoe squealed seeing them. "No Zac I need a shower." Jessy squealed as Zac wrapped his arms around her. "I love you even if you need a shower." Zac said kissing her sweetly. "You're impossible." Jessy said, adding, "But I love you even if you are impossible." Jessy gazed into his eyes, "You look older there birthday boy. Happy birthday Zac." Jessy said kissing him deeply. "Zac I feel bad son, I haven't wished you happy birthday yet." Walker said. "Don't worry Dad. You and Mom already outdid yourselves by bringing me together with Jessy. That's the best birthday wish I ever could have received. Thanks again Dad." Zac said kissing Jessy deeply. "Yeah thanks Daddy." Jessy said kissing him back deeply. "Hun I really need a shower now, a cold one." Jessy teased. "Poor baby. Too much for you huh?" Zac gloated. "Oh you declared war." Jessy whispered kissing Zac passionately with everything she had felt for him as Zac moaned over and over. "See you birthday boy." Jessy said pushing Zoe's stroller back to the garage before heading in to shower. As she turned back to view her handy work, "Son you get burnt when you play with fire. And Jessy's hot boy." Walker laughed patting his back. Guilt riddened, Jessy just stared at first, "Zac I'm sorry." Jessy apologized walking back to him. "Nah Jessy it's my fault, I acted like I had the upper hand what else would you do but put me in my place. Babe I know now." Zac shared. "I wasn't trying to be better Zac, that's not what I want." Jessy pleaded. "Equal partners?" Zac asked. "Yeah hun, I just want to be equal partners." Jessy said smiling as Walker and Zoe headed in. "Babe I didn't mean to act like I was all that. You know I love Jessy . I just want you to be part of my life, you make me so happy Jessy. I don't want to think of life without you in it." Zac confessed. "I know Zac, tat's how I feel to. I didn't mean to treat you like that Zac, you know, use what you feel for me like I did." Jessy said with such shame, adding, "Forgive me Zac, that was so childish. I didn't even consider your feelings Zac. God I'm sorry." Jessy begged tears in her eyes. "Jessy don't cry babe. I started this, you just finished it." Zac pleaded. "We were both wrong. Zac that kind of game does too much damage. I don't want to play it ever again. Please Zac." Jessy asked laying her head on his chest hugging him tight. "Yeah babe, no more childish games. We're too important for that." Zac said kissing the top of her head holding her tight. "Sorry " they said in unison. "Guess that's a good sign." Jessy giggled. "Yeah that's a definite sorry." Zac said leading her inside as they noticed Mom and Dad watching. "Morning Mom." Jessy said smiling. "Morning sweetie. Have a nice run? Zoe seems to have had a blast." Diana said. "We did, didn't we gurl. Met some real nice neighbors." Jessy said taking Zoe and twirling across the floor both of them giggling. "Want some toast baby?" Jessy asked putting her in her high chair when she got excited. Jessy made toast putting on cinnamon and sugar and slicing it into sticks, grabbing her sippy cup and getting her some milk. "There you go gurl. Jessy's going to shower now see you in a few and thanks for coming with me." Jessy said kissing Zoe and heading down the hall, finding the girl's still asleep. Jessy quietly grabbed her robe and shampoo, making her way across the hall showering and returning to chose an outfit from the day. "What you doing?" Chele asked. "What to wear? What to wear?" Jessy giggled. "It's just breakfast." Chele answered. "It's only breakfast with Hanson. Zac Hanson." Jessy squealed. "Keep it down." Veronica grumbled. "Down. You got it." Jessy said racing her way and bouncing down on the bed. "Jessy." Veronica laughed. "She said down." Chele yelled bouncing down on the other side of Veronica. "Not fair. I'm out numbered." Veronica complained as Jessie and Avie knocked and entered to bounce along. "Girls what on earth. Make way." Diana said delivering the bounce that sat Veronica up. "I Give" Veronica screamed as everyone burst into laughter. "I just came to see about getting help with breakfast. "Coming Mom." Jessy said pulling on a dress and slipping on a pair of sandals. Soon all the girls arrived and table was set in time for breakfast to be served. "Well girls you ready to see what the guys do?" Walker asked. "Can't wait to see where the magic happens." Chele said. "Magic?" Walker asked. "Yeah it has to be magic. Remember I just watched them eat. Whoa, they really are just normal guys, burp, scratch and I'm sure praying that don't pull a grand finale." Chele teased as the girls all started laughing. "It's okay hun, I still love you even though you are just normal guys. I run fast let 'er rip if you have to." Jessy teased as she cleaned the table off, loading the dishwasher. "You be careful or we'll lock you in a room with him and see how fast you run." Taylor teased. "Then we'll see how much you love him." Ike teased. "Jessy don't listen to them." Zac pleaded. "That's okay babe, they just put the pressure on themselves. They'll never be able to rip one in front of me and I am definitely going to be around a lot. Boy they are going to be hurting." Jessy giggled as the room laughed. "Jessy we were just teasing. Zac's not that bad, almost but not quite. Lil Sis I love you, so I'm telling you remember to keep your distance if he eats Mexican." Taylor said seriously. "Taylor Hanson, that's something personal Zac should tell her not you. But thanks for the warning, I read you like mexican." Chele teased backing away from him. "Baby not me, Zac." Taylor pleaded. "Oh you say you're not normal huh?" Chele teased. "Baby don't, I wouldn't." Taylor pleaded. "Oh thank goodness. I was afraid you were going to tell me you were normal. We'd have nothing in common then." Chele declared. "Who likes normal anywayz." Jessy and Veronica said in unison as Chele hugged Taylor while Isaac hugged Veronica. Jessy grabbed a wet rag and wiped off the table. "You two better get dressed or you can go in your pj's." Walker said as Diana answered the door. "Morning Chris. Jessy and Zac are ready but the others are hopeless." she greeted. "Zac why don't you and Jessy come with me then and the others can come with your Dad." Chris said. "Great. I'd love to Zac, can we?" Jessy asked. "Sure babe, get your purse and let's go with him." Zac said kissing her sweetly as she headed down the hall, returning, ready to leave. They loaded into Chris's car and headed towards the studio.
