"Jessy what makes you happiest?" Walker asked. "Oh, lots of things. Even the snow usually but not in this quantity. I love music, but you probably guessed that. I love Hanson, you found that out a little while ago. I guess their music makes me the happiest. I know what, I'll go get my CD player out of the Explorer and listen to their music, that's gonna do it. Oh thanks you're so great." Jessy said smiing then hugging him. "What' s your favorite song?" he asked. "My all time, is "With You In Your Dream" man that song is so deep but right now I have their 'Snowed In' album in my player and I so love "What Christmas Means To Me". Jessy said. "If I could save you going to the car for that song would you like that?" he asked. "What, you're a fan too and you're going to sing it to me. I'd love it." Jessy said smiling. "Sort of Jessy. I am a big fan of theirs. I do know the song and you know you probably would let me believe you liked it. Do I look familiar to you?" he asked. "I can't put my finger on it, but you're right there is defintely something about you. I felt it when you handed me your keys. I've seen you somewhere before. I just can't remember where." Jessy said. "Did you go to any of their concerts?" he asked. "Are you kidding! We turned down work so we could go. Man I got so close to meeting them. I almost got run down by the tour bus. Nah, not really but it was close enough. Man their Da..." Jessy stopped and her eyes got big. "Yeah sweetie that's me." Walker said. "Oh my." she said her eyes filling with tears. "So you were my little dare devil at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I have a picture of you at home already, see you are part of the family already." he said. "You're being funny and I'm crying." she said. "That's okay Jessy. Do you want your song now?" he asked and she shook her head no, noticing Zac at the back of the church. Her eyes filled again as Walker hugged her tight. "Sweetie he's a nice kid. You'll enjoy meeting him. I promise." Walker said. "You have to say that, you're his Dad." Jessy said starting to laugh. "You're being funny too. See it's going to be alright. Zac we could use those tissues." Walker said. "Coming Dad." Zac said tissues in hand and his dad nodded towards Jessy. "Jessy don't cry. I'm sorry you might not make it home for Christmas I think that would make me sad too." Zac said wiping her tears. "I feel sorriest for my youngest brother. This is going to bum him bad. He didn't want us to go in the first place. I tried to get him to come along, but he and my other brother, Josh, wanted to stay with Gramma." Jessy said, adding, "I wish I had now." She sighed as Zac put the tissue over her nose and said "Blow" "Get freaking real, Zac Hanson. You are not blowing my nose." Jessy laughed and laughed harder. "I was hoping that would make you laugh. I really wasn't looking forward to blowing someone elses nose." Zac laughed, then added "But I would have for you Jessy." "You probably would have. Thanks Zac." Jessy said smiling and losing herself in his warm brown eyes. Zac smiled back gazing into her blue eyes. "I think I'll go see if I can help the other meetings go this well." Walker said. "Bye and I may decide to have you sing to me after all." Jessy said. "What?" Zac asked surprised by her answer. "You I think will offer again to sing to me. This is probably my only shot at getting your Dad to sing to me." Jessy laughed. "You're right there baby girl." Walker said kissing her on the forehead then heading to the dining hall. There he found Kristi and Diana setting the tables and chatting. "So did you tell her or did she have to guess?" Walker asked. "Tell me what? Guess what?" Kristi said. "Come on girl get with it!" Walker said, adding, "I'm checking the kitchen first and I'll be back." Walker said entering the kitchen. "Well Barbara how are you doing?" Walker asked. "Not too well Walker, just can't find the words." Barbara answered. "Isn't that the way it goes." he said. "Momma what did you just call him?" Chele said staring at her. "Him who dear?" Barbara asked. "Momma how man hims are there? Duh? I thought I was the blonde one." Chele asked. "Two dear, Walker here and his son Taylor over there." Barbara said smiling at her watching for her response. "Wha..Wh.." Chele stuttered turning to Walker "Hi Chele I'm Walker Hanson and this is my son, Taylor." he said pointing behind her. She turned back to see Taylor in the doorway to the back room. "Oh my. It is you, isn't it?" Chele said. "Yeah Chele, I'm Taylor Hanson, nice to meet you. Great song you guys sang, both of them." he said taking her hand in his. "I don't believe this. Whoever wakes me from this dream goes to the bottom of my like list and heads my don't like with a passion list." Chele said shaking her head staring at her hand in Taylor's. "Man this is good, it even feels real." Chele laughed. "Chele you are about the coolest person I've met in a long time. I get so tired of girls freaking out on me." Taylor said looking at the floor. "Taylor we really can't help it. There's just something about you and your brothers. I'm so tired of dealing with jerks, macho males with mouths. So when I think about the three of you, the way you come across so polite, caring, respectful and compare it to everything I have to deal with, can you blame us. There are a bunch of losers out there and so few good guys is all." Chele said kissing his cheek, adding, "You three are a few of the good guys." "I can understand that but why the screaming?" Taylor asked. "I don't know how to explain it. It's like I get so happy, excited about you guys or your music and when I think I'm about to burst this scream comes out Taylor, all on it's own. I've even tried to stop 'em but I really thought I was going to burst so I don't try to stop them no more." she shared searching his eyes for acceptance. "Wow what beautiful blue eyes." she thought. "So it's a reaction sort of, nothing you can control huh?" Taylor asked. "That's it can't stop 'em. They just happen." she said smiling. "Okay so at times these screams just happen. How come you aren't screaming now?" Taylor asked. "I told you man, this is a dream. If I screamed I'd wake up." Chele laughed and he burst into laughter. "Sssshhh you don't want to wake me." Chele said. "No I wouldn't want to do that, this is one the nicest times I've ever had." Taylor said wrapping his arms around her and hugging her. As he gazed into her eyes, "You are a strange one my Chele." Taylor said. "Oh but who wants normal Taylor. That would be so boring." Chele smiled. "Two down and one to go Barbara, care to join me." Walker asked. "Sure let's go." she said as they entered the dining hall. Diana looked at them in desperation. "Diana aren't you hot in that sweater." Barbara said. "You know, now that you mention it I am." Diana said unzipping her sweater and removing it as her hair tumbled free. Kristi looked up, gasped as her eyes got big. She stared at the long, long blonde hair then turned to stare at Walker. "Dear is something wrong?" Barbara asked. "Momma I think they're, they're, they..." Kristi stuttered as Barbara walked her way and gave her a light tap to the back of the head, "They're Walker and Diana Hanson." Kristi finished. "Gets stuck every now and then. A light tap is all it takes huh baby." Barbara laughed. "Oh Momma that's not funny. Oh no that means the boys he's got that were watching us would be, be, be.." she stuttered "You hit me again and I'll scream." Kristi yelled. "Then spit it out blondie." Barbara teased. "Then the boys he's got that were watching us are those perverted Hanson boys. Leering at girls the way they do." Kristi said noticing Isaac. "Just like that one." she said pointing at Isaac, quickly adding, "Gotcha!" "Oh you saw me and didn't mean we were perverts right?" Isaac asked. "No all the time I was setting the table I had that creepy feeling I was being watched. And I was huh?" Kristi asked. "Yeah I admit it. I was watching. I really couldn't help it. You guys are all so pretty and you sing like angels." Isaac said. "And you're a sweet talker. Boy am I in trouble." Kristi laughed. "I'll try real hard." Isaac teased. "Boy who'd believe something so bumming could be this cool." Kristi said. "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." Isaac sang. "So this is your doing." Kristi laughed. "Had I known it was this simple we would have met a long time ago." he whispered. "You are good." she laughed and he took her hand and they headed to the church as Taylor led Chele from the kitchen and headed to the church. "Where you headed?" Isaac asked Taylor. "Where'd you think?" Taylor answered. "The choir loft?" Isaac said. "Yeah, you too huh?" he answered. "Yeah." Isaac answered. "We'll you're too late. We have it." Zac laughed as he and Jessy rose and looked down at them. "Tough, I'm older." Isaac said. "But we're here first and you fools taught me how to lock out the world. Hah!" Zac laughed. "He got us there." Isaac said. "You had to go and tell him. Rights of passage my foot. Now he has the freaking make out spot." Taylor said. "Oh come on up, poor sports." Zac said. "Yeah we need a break anyway." Jessy said. "You what?" Chele asked loudly. "Zac Hanson you touch my baby sister and I'll, Isaac talk to him." Kristi asked. "Hey Zac no home runs okay?" Isaac said. "Isaac Hanson that's not what I meant. Do you know what they could be doing under you guidelines?" Kristi said. "Whoa. Hey Zac, no more than a double okay?" Isaac said wrapping his arms around Kristi "That goes for just them right?" he whispered. "I'm not sure now, you are the one who suggested he just not hit homeruns." she pouted. "Yeah but with us up there he wouldn't have tried anything anyway." he whispered kissing her neck softly sending chills up and down her spine. "Yeah I guess your right." she said as he took her by the hand and led her to the stairway to the choir loft. "So you want to go to a make out party, or you want to have our own party?" Taylor asked gazing into Chele's warm brown eyes. "Let's go up and see what Jessy and Zac are up to and then we could sneak away." she answered as Taylor placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her to the stairway, closing and blocking the door behind him. The six sat talking about singing, fans, traveling, meeting people, public school, just about everything when they heard the call that supper was ready. "I'm hungry." Jessy said rising and pulling Zac to his feet and they headed out. "Man are you sure she's just 13. She acts more our age." Taylor asked. "I was thinking the same thing about Zac. You know everything you read is he's so whacky. I didn't see it." Chele said as Taylor pulled her to her feet. "Coming you two?" Taylor said looking at Isaac. "Yeah right behind you." he answered as he rose and pulled Kristi to her feet and they headed to the dining hall.
