"This place is awesome." Darcy squealed as the tour ended and they rejoined the rest of the family. "Isn't it just wonderful." Diana added. "You're right Mom, Zac has done just a wonderful job." Jessy shared wrapping her arms around him, adding, "I really love our house Zac. It gives me such a warm, loved feeling when I'm in it." "Maybe because you're always doing that." Taylor mumbled nodded at the two hugging. "Could be Taylor. You know I always feel warm and loved at Grampa's or at the folks' house. You may have something there." Jessy teased. "You okay babe? You don't feel warm." Zac teased. "Sweetie you all right?" Grampa Lawyer asked putting the back of his hand to her forehead. "Yeah Grampa I'm fine. Okay what is it?" Jessy asked. "Sweetie you just... well you did just agree with..." Grampa answered in a whisper, stopping and looking around before finishing, "Taylor." "What? Oh my God I must be dying." Jessy gasped then broke out laughing as she headed to the kitchen making snacks for the guys, sending them down to the playroom. "Okay let's get started." Jessy said grabbing a pad of paper and pen, adding, "Here Jessie. I need you to take notes and keep track of everything. Do you think you can do that for us?" "Me. You want me to take notes?" Jessie asked swallowing hard. "I just thought about the good job you did on your last report. Don't sweat it. If you don't want to I'll understand." Jessy replied. "No I want to help. It's just.. I hope I don't mess it up." Jessie confessed. "You'll do fine sis. I watched you taking notes remember?" Jessy replied. "Oh yeah. You took me to the library on campus. That was cool." Jessie shared telling everyone about the hot guys. "Anytime you want to go back, just let me know. I have classes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but I can take you anytime you want." Jessy offered. "You're such a cool big sister." Jessie declared. "Wait. I'm your only big sister." Jessy teased. "Oh you caught that huh?" Jessie teased back rolling her eyes and looking away. "Okay to the business at hand. I've done the hard part, I got the bride, me, and the groom, Zac. What else needs doing?" Jessy started off. "Well Zac took care of the physicals for the marriage license so he can take care of the marriage license. They have an appointment in four hours so we better get busy." Diana shared turning to Jessy asking, "Sweetie are you sure about making the dresses?" "She's what?" Darcy squealed. "I'm going to sew the gowns. It'll be a piece of cake. Don't worry, I am honestly a very good seamstress" Jessy replied, adding, "I know what! Time for a field trip. We'll go out to the fabric shop by the Mall. We can decide on a pattern and material right now and by the weekend, we will have a wedding gown, gowns for the Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, Flower Girl and the Mother of the Bride and the Groom." "What? No way." Natalie insisted. "Yes way." Jessy replied, adding, "Well that is if Zac has any money on him. I just spent all mine on books for next semester." "Don't worry about the money sweetie, your father and I will take care of it." Diana insisted. "You'd what? I don't believe this." Jessy gasped. "Why not sweetie?" Diana asked confused. "But Mom.. I mean.. You do know I'm not really yours rights?" Jessy finally managed to get out. "What are you talking about?" Diana declared taking her hand, whispering, "Don't ever think that again. You are our little girl. You have been since the night Zac brought you into our lives and you will be forever." "I love you guys too." Jessy choked out they gazed at each other smiling with tears trickling down their faces. "Just knew I was needed." Walker announced entering the room, making his way over to wipe their faces. "You are right dear, you are needed. I need money to purchase patterns and material. We are going to the fabric shop and our little girl will have the gowns done by the weekend." "Make a fellow feel good." Walker pouted pulling out his wallet and handing over money and a credit card, adding, "If that's not enough dear put it on this." "Well girls, let's go make this happen." Diana declared. "I'm going to tell Zac. Be right back." Jessy said turning to find Zac in the doorway. "Going where babe?" Zac asked. "The fabric shop for patterns and material. Hun can I use the room at the end of the hall for the week to set up everything?" Jessy replied making her way to him. "The view of the woods huh?" Zac asked. "Yeah. I'm sure I'll be able to slave away with that to save me." Jessy giggled. "Sweetie we don't need you slaving away. I'll buy your dresses." Diana insisted. "Oh Mom I'm sorry. It will be a labor of love just like Zac and the house. I really want to do this." Jessy insisted making her way to her to make sure she knew she meant it. "I see now. Okay girls one more time, let's go make this happen." Diana declared rounding up the girls and heading them to the fabric shop. "I can't believe they had everything." Natalie shared a few hours later as the loaded everything into the van and headed back home. "You! I knew once we found the patterns the headaches would start. You don't know how frustrating it is to search the racks and finally decide on a bolt of fabric only to be told there isn't enough left on the bolt to make the dress." Jessy shared. "You! I had no idea there were so many different fabrics. The same color but different weights. The same color and weight but different designs in the weave." Darcy shared. "How did we manage to pull this off?" Diana gasped as she climbed in the driver's seat. "I have no idea." Jessy gasped shaking her head in disbelief. "Because we are women and we can do anything." Jessie declared. "Oh that's right!" Jessy squealed turning to high five her. "How could I forget." Diana declared heading the group home. "Hey babe. How are things going?" Zac asked two-waying her. "We did great Zac." Jessy said answering her cell phone, adding, "Really great. Actually we're almost home. Mom's turning onto our street right now." "Wow you must have done great. Well that answers my question. I was wondering if I needed to come pick you up so we make our appointment." Zac shared. "Nope I'll be there in a few minutes. I think Ill take a shower and change before we go." Jessy replied. "We have time." Zac shared. "Good I think I'll do that." Jessy replied, adding, "We're turning in the drive now. You going to come help carry things in?" "Meet you in the driveway then." Zac answered. "Thanks Zac. I love you." Jessy replied as Diana pulled into the driveway. "There they are. Wow all of them. Wonder what's up?" Diana shared. "Probably hungry." Jessy suggested with a chuckle. "Well it definitely isn't because he missed me." Natalie pouted. "He? He who?" Darcy teased. "Daddy. Daddy. I'm going to be beautiful." Avery declared as the van came to a stop. "Must be more beautiful because you are beautiful alerady." Walker replied opening the slider, adding, "Reporting to duty. Packages to be carried in I'm told." "Thanks Daddy. They're under the back seat and in the way back." Jessy informed. "To the rear men." Walker repeated. "We got your room set up hun. Come see what you think." Zac shared opening her door and offering his hand. "You did. Zac you are so wonderful." Jessy sighed taking his hand, stepping out into his arms, kissing him sweetly. "We weren't sure what we should put where except for your machine is in the corner facing out. We put in two tables a big one against the wall as you walk in and the little your machine is on." Zac shared leading her inside. "Sounds great. Did you find the ironing board and iron?" Jessy asked. "Found the board but we're still looking through boxes for the iron." Zac answered. 'Hmmm let's see. I packed it in..." Jessy said giving it some thought, finally adding, "A box marked bathroom. I packed it in towels so it wouldn't get scratched up." "That makes it easier." Zac said with a chuckle. "I'm headed that way. I'll find it." Adam declared turning and heading to the garage. "It's about time you got with the program." Walker teased. "I can't believe we haven't had you guys out before this. I am so sorry, Being busy is no excuse." Jessy said turning to Darcy. "It's okay. We knew where you two were. We also know that we don't need an invitation." Darcy replied. "You certainly don't." Diana insisted putting smiles on both their faces. "So what do you think?" Zac asked opening the door for her. "Perfect. Just perfect." Jessy squealed moving to the corner table sitting and looking out the windows, adding, "Look at that crazy squirrel. He is determined to defeat that feeder you bought me Daddy." "Hey you can't do that squirrel. If you do I'm getting my money back." Walker shouted tapping on the window causing the squirrel to stop and stare at them before trying again. "Look at that fool." Walker squealed as the squirrel's attempt landed him on the ground. "Daddy look his corn is all gone." Macke said pointing to the squirrel feeder. "Well we know why he's after the bird's food then don't we son. Why don't you give me a hand and we'll go feed everyone." Walker replied. "Me go." Zoe squealed. "Of course you can help." Walker said whisking her into his arms, asking, "Anyone else?" "Don't mind if I do. Just love to watch them so I guess I should help feed them." Grampa Lawyer shared. "I found it." Adam said entering the room. "You are good." Jessy praised. "Thanks bro." Zac said making his way to him setting things up. "Well I'm headed up to shower." Jessy said turning to find all the packages on the large table. "What sweetie?" Diana asked of her staring at the table. "Zac does this room have shelves in the closet like the others?" Jessy asked turning his way. "I think so." Zac said moving to the closet, sliding the door open, adding, "Yes it does." "Good. Mom, girls do you think you can label the packages by whose pattern, material and assign them a place of their own. I think there are enough shelves. If not double up on Zoe, Avie and Jessie's packages or put mine somewhere else." Jessy asked. "Wonderful idea. That will keep you organized won't it. Much better than a big pile of bags." Diana shared gathering the girls, adding, "Now you just go shower and we'll handle this." "I can see I'm not needed." Jessy said making her way out of the room, quickly returning, adding, "Thank you. All of you." "Oh sweetie like you said it's a labor of love. Now go. Zachary get her moving or you two will be late." Diana insisted. "She's right babe. If you want a shower you better move it." Zac said taking her by the hand and leading her to the stairs. "I can take it from here. I'll be just a few minutes so you go finish helping Adam. Make sure they know their welcome to stay while we're gone." Jessy said making her way up the stairs stopping on the landing, calling out, "Zachary. O Zachary. Wherefore art thou Zachary? Denie thy Father and refuse thy name. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworne to my Loue, And Ile no longer be a Capulet." "Shall I heare more, or shall I speake at this?" Grampa Lawyer recited. "Tis but thy name that is my Enemy. Thou art thy selfe, though not a Mountague, What's Mountague? it is nor hand nor foote, Nor arme, nor face, O be some other name Belonging to a man. What? in a names that which we call a Rose, By any other word would smell as sweete, So Romeo would, were he not Romeo cal'd, Retaine that deare perfection which he owes, Without that title Romeo, doffe thy name,
And for thy name which is no part of thee, Take all my selfe." Jessy recited. "I take thee at thy word. Call me but Loue, and Ile be new baptiz'd, Hence foorth I neuer will be Romeo." Grampa Lawyer recited. "What man art thou, that thus bescreen'd in night. So stumblest on my counsell?" Jessy recited. "By a name, I know not how to tell thee who I am. My name deare Saint, is hatefull to my selfe, Because it is an Enemy to thee, Had I it written, I would teare the word." Grampa Lawyer recited. "My eares haue yet not drunke a hundred words
Of thy tongues vttering, yet I know the sound. Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?" Jessy recited. "Wonderful. Wonderful sweetie. Baby girl you never told me." Grampa Lawyer praised. "Grampa you never told me either. A Shakespeare fan. Who'd have guessed." Jessy squealed. "I would have. Sweetie I had no idea you did Shakespeare." Diana gasped as they all stood applauding. "You too Mom?" Jessy asked. "Well he is my father." Diana teased. "Jessy. O Jessy. You are so goodeth but if you don't moveth it you will not become a Hanson." Zac teased. "Yiketh. I runneth as fast as I canneth." Jessy squealed racing the rest of the way upstairs and quickly showered and changed for their appointment.
