"Zac?" Jessy answered the phone on the first ring. "Yeah Jessy anxious to hear from me huh?" Zac asked. "I am, got a problem with it." Jessy teased and they talked a little before Zac said goodbye and they headed her way. "Come on Sis you wanted to impress that guy, what was his name again?" Jessy teased trying to wake her sister. "Jordan Taylor Hanson. His name is Taylor Hanson, teen heart throb and the hottest guy on earth." Chele moaned as she rose. "I heard he had the hots for this chick so bad that on their first date he goes balistic because she is going with the neighbor boy to see the town, knowing the neighbor is a dweeb and she is like poor pathetic loser I'll allow you to be in my pressence." Jessy teased, adding, "I've got muffins in the oven, I gotta go. Get dressed, you're going to see Taylor and yes he'll love you in your jammies but I'm not sure what Mom and Dad will think." Jessy had packed a basket with the muffins, thermos of coffee, single sized cartons of milk and juice boxes and placed it by the front door before heading back upstairs double checking her mini backpack for everything she might need. "Chele they're here. Wow you look so pretty, poor Taylor, he's going to feel so bad. Go tell them I'll be right down, had to go pack sunscreen." Jessy said and Chele headed out. "Morning Hansons, Sis will be right down, she forgot to pack sunscreen." Chele explained and Diana gasped. "Walker I forgot, we'll have to stop." she said. "Not necessary Mrs. H, we have all sorts of sunscreen. I'll go get you some, be right back it's in the bathhouse." Chele offered. "I'll go with you." Taylor offered making his way out of the back of the van pushing his way past Zac. "Thanks Tay. I think the purple stuff is on the top shelf." Chele said reaching for his hand. "And where are you two headed?" Jessy asked as they entered the house. "After sunscreen for their Mom, she forgot it." Chele said as Jessy made her way down the stairs. "Hey Jessy. Like the outfit, cute." Zac said staring at her. "Hmm just the reaction I was looking for, bought it just for you." Jessy explained. "Thanks." Zac said extending his hand. "Morning." Jessy said taking his hand and she had Zac grab the basket before they headed to the van. Jessy explained the muffins and drinks to his folks in a whisper, "It's your van the crumbs will be in so I thought I better check with you first." Jessy said. "This is wonderful, we were going to stop for donuts or something to get us there and we should have time for a nice breakfast before the Zoo opens." Diana answered as Chele and Tay returned and they were on their way. They hadn't gone far when the hunger complaints started and Diana opened the basket passing out muffins, then passing back the basket. The muffins were almost gone and Taylor and Isaac were staring at each other, "Jessy you haven't had one yet." Isaac said. "Go ahead and finish them off you two." Jessy replied. "She probably had one while she baked them. Go ahead." Zac added. They were a little over half way, when Mackie and Zoe were at each other, yelling and throwing things as Jessy unbuckled her seatbelt, making her way to the seat between them and soon she had them laughing. She told another story thrilling Diana, "You're great with kids Jessy." she commented. "I love kids. I did a lot of babysitting before.." Jessy ended in mid sentence as the tears made it down her face. Zoe's squeal broke her thoughts and she quickly wiped her face before telling another story as they made there way into San Diego and soon they were following Zoo signs. At the next stop light, Jessy quickly changed seats, "I'm back. Miss me?" she asked. "What? You were gone? I thought you were just being quiet." Zac teased and Jessy turned facing him, pouting, sticking out her tongue. "Give me tongue, go ahead." Zac teased grabbing her kissing her hard and long, his tongue pushing it's way into her mouth with such force, she whimpered and pushed away from him. "Baby I'm sorry, Jessy please look at me, I'm sorry. I was jealous you spent so much time with Zoe and Mackie instead of being grateful that you made the trip more enjoyable by stopping their fighting. Forgive me? Please Jessy?" Zac whispered as Jessy stared to the front. "Please Jessy." Zac asked again lightly stroking her hand, bending and kissing it, "I'm so sorry." Zac whispered into her hand as Jessy finally began stroking his hair, "I didn't like it Zac. You scared me." Jessy whispered. "Please, I'm sorry. Jessy don't hate me." Zac pleaded taking her hand in his, kissing it over and over, "Please?" he pleaded. "Hate you, oh Zac. I could never hate Zac, hatred kills. It drives you crazy and you kill yourself and your sons." Jessy said and became silent, closing her eyes as the tears began overflowing. Instinctively Zac rose, wrapped an arm around her, pulling her to him, kissing the top of her head. "It'll be okay Jessy. I'm so sorry you hurt." he whispered, pulling up his tee shirt, wiping her tears before kissing her head again. "Thanks Zac. Thanks for caring." Jessy whispered. "I do Jessy. Even though I act like a jerk, I do care." Zac whispered laying his head on top of hers. "Ouch" they both yelped as his father hit a pothole and their heads hit and they kissed each others head before gazing into each others eyes. Zac kissed her sweetly and when Jessy returned his kiss, kissing him long and hard, he was shocked when he felt her tongue against his lips. He quickly opened his mouth as the tip of her tongue entered, circling his, driving him crazy and as her tongue traced his making it to the back, he moaned his desire and excitement as the tips of their tongues danced once again as she retracted her tongue and he followed her into her mouth. Zac carefully teased the tip of her tongue and moaned again as Jessy lightly sucked his tongue. Zac withdrew his tongue, kissing her over and over, "Jessy." he moaned as she caressed his face. "Whew. Thought you two would never come up for air and I was going to have to tell her sister what happened." Taylor teased. "You're just jealous." Zac said. "Zac it's not his fault they can't be together. Of course his jealous." Jessy added. "Let's make him real sorry." Zac suggested. "Like this." Jessy said kissing him again and again, nibbling his ear before sucking on it lightly, driving him crazy and he moaned. "I give. Stop you two. Please stop." Taylor moaned. "You are good. I feel I should be taking notes, praying for a test." Isaac teased. "Ignore them. Don't stop baby." Zac moaned. "Zac. Put yourself in their place. Would you want to watch us and not participate in the activity?" Jessy asked. "I guess not. So close your eyes guys." Zac teased and started laughing, adding, "I'm laughing babe. See I was kidding." "Oh darn. I was thinking this was an alternative, a plan B." Jessy teased as they pulled into the restaurant. Jessy moved to the front unbuckling Mackie, "Wait for one of your brothers sweetie. There go get Tay." she said as she unbuckled Zoe, "Hun take her for me so I can clean up the muffin mess." Jessy asked and as Zac picked up Zoe and headed out, she quickly swept the crumbs up, tossing them out then grabbed the garbage spying a trash can. "That was nice of you Jessy." Walker said wrapping an arm around her as they made their way into breakfast. "I'm going to the bathroom, Jessie, Avie want to come along and wash up. Come on muffin girl." Jessy said taking Zoe from Zac, adding, "You could take Mackie in for me." "Wow. This is nice." Diana said wrapping an arm around Walker, adding, "Dear I want a Jessy before we tour again." "Did you see she cleaned out the van, dumping the garbage. Dear I want a Jessy before we travel again." Walker replied. The girls were all cleaned and in better spirits and returned to find the family seated. "You get to sit with Mommy and Daddy how lucky." Jessy said placing Zoe in the high chair, kissing her, waiting for Zac and Mackie. "Wow you're looking mighty fine there Mackie. Where is she?" Jessy asked looking around the restaurant. "Who?" Mackie asked. "The girl you're trying to impress. It'll work." Jessy replied winking at him as Zac took her hand, leading her to their places as Tay helped Mackie into his booster seat. They ate breakfast and then headed to the Zoo as it opened, enjoying the day, "No Zac. I don't want to, there are snakes in there." Jessy complained planting her feet. "They're in cases babe, come with me." Zac pleaded. "Gawd Zac. I must like you a lot. I'm going in the reptile house." Jessy proclaimed as she held on tighter and all the way through the exhibit he felt her cringing and listened to her gasps. "Oh yuck." she whimpered at the large python as Isaac and Taylor snuck up behind them and placed a rubber snake they had purchased at the gift shop over Zac's shoulder near her. "What the.." Zac said feeling something on his shoulder bringing Jessy's attention to him, gasping at the snake and backing away quickly. As Isaac and Taylor began to laugh, "Not funny you two morons. Jessy it's a rubber snake is all babe." Zac said watching her make it out the door. "Way to go." Zac mumbled heading after her. "We were only kidding." Isaac said. "She hates snakes morons, she came with me because I asked not becuse she wanted to. Look what you've done." Zac said making his way after her. "Jessy wait for me. Please Jessy." Zac called out racing after her thrilled when she stopped and turned towards him. "They didn't know babe, they were just kidding around." Zac explained making his way to her, wrapping his arms around her. "Babe you're shivering. Jessy I'm sorry, it'll be okay." Zac insisted. "I guess it's a good thing. Now I remember what it was like having brothers, being picked on and teased." Jessy said getting quiet and wiggling away. 'No you don't." Zac said wrapping his arms back around her. "Zac let me go." Jessy whimpered. "No Jessy, I can handle the sad too. Let me be there for you babe." Zac pleaded pulling her close as she closed her eyes and the tears fell as he hugged her tight, "Jessy they didn't mean to hurt you." Zac whispered kissing her head. "I know, I just can't help it, seems like everything hurts." Jessy whispered. "Even me. What a dope." Zac mumbled. "You are not a dope. Maybe if I'd said something to you before I hopped up and left you, you wouldn't have felt that way. Zac I'm sorry too." Jessy suggested. "I had no reason to be insecure. You hadn't done anything for me to feel that way." Zac shared as the two talked becoming closer. At lunch, Isaac and Taylor apologized for not thinking before pulling their prank and when Zac shared what Jessy had said about brothers, Jessy almost laughed. After lunch they started out as a group again and when the guys wanted to explore the insect house, "No Zac I've had enough of big brothers, I'm going to stay with the folks." Jessy insisted. "Babe they won't pull anything, they learned their lesson." Zac argued. "Zac I can handle everything but spiders and snakes, don't push your luck." Jessy replied wrapping her arms around his neck, "Please dont make me." Jessy pouted. "I wish you would but I'll understand." Zac said walking towards his brothers. "We'll go with you." Avie said. "Yeah I sort of want to go but I'm not sure." Jessie said. "Me too. I'm not sure. I can just see the fake spider they're going to scare me with." Jessy suggested. "Boys are so gross." Jessie said. "Yeah but every once in a while the stop being boys and then they're so cool to be with." Jessy sighed. "But that little boy is still there and decides to visit at some of the strangest most frustrating times." Diana added and they all laughed as Walker raced after Mackie, catching up with the other guys. "I'm up to some bug watching, let's go." Diana said and they headed after the guys. "Zac look, she came." Taylor said pointing at Jessy coming through the door. Jessy was busy unbuckling Zoe as Zac made his way to her, standing behind her. "Is that your brother behind me?" Jessy asked. "Uh huh." Zoe answered. "Maybe he'll give you a lift so you can see all the bugs." Jessy said as Zac lifted Zoe, placing her on his shoulders as they made their way through the exhibits. When they got to the spiders Zac turned her to face him as he pointed them out for Zoe. "Make me feel like a baby Zoe, you dig spiders and I hide in your brothers arms." Jessy admitted. "Oohh hide in his arms. Good idea. Walker." Diana called out, hugging him tight as he made his way to her. "This I like." Walker said. "Thanks Jessy." Diana said as they made their way through the exhibit house. They walked throughout the zoo stopping for lunch before continuing on until early evening, putting off dinner to finish seeing the zoo. Stopping for dinner after leaving the zoo, then heading home. Zoe, Mackie and Avie all dozed off once on the road home, Jessy offered Jessie her cd player as Zac handed back his Gameboy. "So what we going to do now?" Jessy teased. "You and me with nothing to do huh?" Zac asked. "Yep, just you and me." Jessy echoed twirling a strand of his hair teasing him moving closer and closer. "Jessy, I want you." Zac whispered wrapping his arms around her, pulling her to him. "I want you too. Zac I need you." Jessy confessed and the two loved each other, necking, all the way home.
