YOUNG Allison and Beth sat with their mother on the swing, listening to her sing.
"Sing with me." Annette advised them, but Allison shook her head. "Well why not?"
"I'm.. I'm not any good." She admitted shyly.
Beth smiled goofily and said, "I'll sing with you mommy. You should too Alli. God doesn't care it it's good or not."
Allison laughed and heard a "Boo!" coming from behind them. They screamed and Beth fell on the ground, dragging her sister with her. They giggled looking up at their father.
Hershel picked them up and sat both of them on his lap, one on each leg. "You girls being good for your mother?"
"Well of course daddy." Beth said.
"I was about sing for them, but Allison here didn't want to." She said, teasing her daughter.
"Why's that?" Hershel asked, fixing Allison's glasses that were crooked from falling.
"I'm not good."
"You're no good? Well, I bet you haven't heard me then. Sound like a donkey trying to give birth." He said making the girls giggle. "Never doubt yourself Alli."
"Family meeting we don't know about?" Maggie asked, walking along with Shawn.
Shawn smacked Allison's cheeks playfully making her shove his hands away. "Don't be mean Shawn." Annette scolded him.
"Mean? No, just teaching her to be tough."
"I already am tough." Allison said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Oh yeah?" He asked, smirking at her. "Maybe when you get a little bit taller."
Hershel smiled at them and looked over to Annette, "Sing a song for us, honey."
"What would you guys like to hear?" She asked.
"Landslide!" Allison and Beth said at the same time proudly throwing their little hands up.
"You two listen to that song like 50 times a day." Maggie said leaning on the swing.
"They have good taste." Hershel admitted.
"Sure do." Annette agreed. "Will you two sing with me?"
Allison hesitated and Shawn sat by the tree, smiling at his sister. "We'll sing too." He suggested making his parents smile. "Then it won't be scary."
"As long as you have family, Allison, you can get through anything." Hershel said. "And that goes for all of you."
Allison looked up at her dad who kissed both her and Beth on the cheek. They sang Landslide together and Shawn was right, she wasn't as scared anymore.
