-5 months later- 

I woke up wrapped up in Beau's arm an surprised by the time. It's six am but I can't go back to sleep so I get up making sure not to wake Beau an walk downstairs an fix some eggs an toast an all while cooking I felt arms wrap around me. "Good morning beautiful what are doing you so early?" Beau ask. "I woke up an I couldn't go back to sleep so I plan on seeing if mom, Beth, Abigail, an Bridget want to go dress shopping with me for prom an you an John spend time together." I say. "But what if I want you all to myself." Beau teases. "Then you can spend time with me when we get back." I say. I finish cooking breakfast an we both eat an I go an take a shower an grabbed my bag, phone, an sunglasses. I kiss Beau an walk out the door an drive to mom's house. I walk in an see everybody dressed. "Going into town dear?" Mom ask. "Yea prom dress shopping wanted to know if you an the girls wanted to come." I say. "Sounds fun well we are all ready dressed an we have eaten so girls y'all ready to go." Mom says. They jump up an we load up into my truck an I drive to the dress shop in town an once there we get out an go in. "Hello my name is Samantha what are you looking for today." Samantha says. "Im looking for a prom dress an I think my little sisters would like to try on dresses to." I say. "Ok well right this way lucky those two sections are together." She says smiling. She shows us to the area an then the dressing room an tells us to call when Im ready. "Well let's start looking." Abigail says. I laugh an I begin looking but failing to find anything. "Sweetie look at this one." Mom says holding up a blue dress. "I will try that one on." I say. I take it an go try it on but did not like it because it did not fit me right then Beth found one but I didn't like it. "Well sweetie we have looked at all the dresses an so far Abigail an Bridget have found more." Mom says. "Hey find anything?" Samantha ask. "The girls did but not Dixie." Mom says. "Oh well um we might have a dress for you what is your last name." She says. I tell her an she says hang on an runs to the back an comes back with a beautiful dress an I try it on an it fits like a glove. "A man came in an picked it out an paid for it an gave me this card an told me to give it to you so here you go." She says. I take the note an the newly bagged dress to the truck while mom an Beth pay for the girls. I look at the card an it says to Dixie on her prom dress shopping so I open it an read it an it says, I know Im not there with you but Im watching over you an I didn't want your mom putting you in a dress you don't like so I went a head an got you a dress I knew you would love now you can shine on the dance floor an know Im watching you love daddy. By the end of the card Im in tears an mom an them come out an read it. "Oh sweetie he knew he wanted to be here but he knew an now we have to love him from are thoughts an know he is protecting us an doing the same." Mom says. I smile an quite crying an go get the flower corsage for Beau an told his mom which one I wanted an I drive us home where we ate lunch an after words Beau pulls me away an puts me on Brownie an tells me to show him my favorite place. I turn the horse around an head straight to the look out. "This is your favorite spot?" Beau ask. "Yes I love looking out at the land an thinking of how much potential it has for cattle daddy said we would do it as soon as I graduated but we don't get to." I say. "We can do cattle it does have a lot of potential." Beau says. "Ok I know you did not want me to bring you up here for this reason." I say. "Well Dixie I wanted to make sure your ready to make this big jump an let me take over the farm." Beau says. "Beau Im positive that I only want you to help me run this farm me an daddy both know what we want." I say. "That's good Dixie I will try to fallow your dad an what he was wanting to do." Beau says. "No Beau we have to go by what we want but have that touch like grandpa an dad had." I say. I grab his hand an point at the horses we take care of run on the land. "They have a free spirit you have to understand them an what is best for them an when we get cattle we have to separate the land an think about both of them." I say. He smiles an nods his head but continues to watch them. "It's getting late we have been out her for a while an we have tending to horses to do." I say. We turn back an go to the barn an call the horses back an feed them an water them. Soon we are done an momma ask if we are going to join them for supper an I yell back no Im cooking tonight an we go home an I cook an we eat then watch tv. "You know Dixie my life was a mess before you found us." Beau says. "No Beau be quite that's your past all that matters is your here right now." I say. He smiles an kisses me an I kiss back an soon we are sleeping.
