Right after she’d finished the potatoes, Beau came in to feed Cat her dinner.

After checking on Johnathan, Dakota asked, “What else can I do to help, Debra?”

“Oh, you go on, now. I’ve got this.”

“If you’re sure, I think I’ll help Johnathan with his bath before we eat.”

“That’s a great idea. We’ll be fine here. You go on.”

Johnathan used the downstairs bathroom, and it didn’t take too long to get him bathed. Dakota gave him his clothes for the next day to wear afterwards, and then took him back to the living room.

Ken had come in from outside and was sitting in his recliner. “Well, you look nice and clean, young man.”

Johnathan said, “Yeah,” and grinned.

“I’ll bet I know what you want to watch,” Ken said, and turned the channel to cartoons. It wasn’t Disney, but Johnathan was happy.

Dakota mouthed, “Thank you,” and headed for the kitchen.

Beau was in there with Cat on his hip, setting the table. She took the plates from him. “Let me do that.”

“Thanks. This girl is being a handful.” To prove his point, Cat dove forward, nearly throwing herself out of his arms. “Damn! Little one, you’ll be the death of me yet!”

“Wow! You weren’t kidding.” Dakota finished setting the table while Beau held Cat with both hands.

The front door opened, and she heard Carson and Landon talking. Everyone was home.

When they were all at the table, Ken said the prayer. Beau made Johnathan’s meal first, a gesture which melted Dakota’s heart.

This time, she was prepared for the mayhem that followed. Beau sat beside her and made sure that the food made it her way quickly. Ken didn’t miss a beat, and neither did Debra. Somehow, the guys always ensured that the dishes appeared in front of their parents with plenty of food on them.

Soon, the only sound was that of utensils on glass plates. Dakota looked at the suddenly peaceful scene and stifled a giggle. What a glorious family this was.

After dinner, she told Beau that he should encourage his parents to leave the dishes to everyone else. He finally convinced them, and they went into the living room for some quiet time together. Johnathan sat at the kitchen table while Dakota and all the guys did the cleanup. She cracked up at some of their antics, but it wasn’t long before the kitchen was clean.

They all sat around in the living room again, and Ken talked about the history of the ranch for a while. They reminisced about Beau’s grandparents, and Ken told stories about his grandpa, who had originally purchased the ranch in the early 1900s.

Johnathan sat quietly through their conversations, and Dakota was so proud of him. She knew he liked being included in grown-up things.

Eventually, Beau excused them for the night and went up to shower.

Dakota gave Debra another hug. “Thanks again for everything.”

She helped Johnathan to bed, then went upstairs.

Beau was still in the bathroom, and she quickly changed into her emerald-green teddy and put on a faint mist of perfume.
