It's been a year since Deacon became a widower leaving him with four children to raise.
Not being able to handle the death of his Mother, Deacon's son Matthew starts getting in trouble at school. Having a conference with Matthew's teacher, talk gets...
Waking up the next morning, Savannah feels Deacon's arm around her bare waist. Turning to her side, she sees Deacon awake.
"How long have you been awake?" she asks as she lays her head down on his chest.
"Not that long."
Savannah relaxes as he runs his fingers through her hair.
"Judy has cancer. It's pretty bad, the doctor says that there is nothing else they can do for her."
Shocked Savannah looks up at him and tells him if he needs anything she will be there for him.
"The kids and I are the only family she has left. I know this isn't the best time, but, would you go to the hospital with me to meet her. They say she hasn't got much time left and she really wants to meet you, "
"Of course, "
"Also, we need to talk about Matthew. Last night when I pulled him to the side to talk to him I told him the basics of what was happening between us."
"What did he say?"
"He thought you were married, so I told him about your husband and daughter. Then he wanted to know about his mom. I told him that I would never forget her and I would always love her. But she would want me to be happy and being with you makes me happy. He seemed ok with it after I talked to him."
Relieved that Matthew doesn't hate her for dating his father, she looks up and says, " I want you to meet Madisyn. Maybe all of us could sit down later today and talk."
"That sounds like a good idea. When is Madisyn coming home?"
"I have to go get her later."
"Ok, "
Laying there for a few minutes Savannah decides to take a shower. Standing up, she wraps the sheet around her and asks Deacon if he wants to join her. Happy to join her he quickly gets up and she leads him to her bathroom.
After a steamy shower session, they decided to head downstairs to cook breakfast.
Getting out the stuff to make pancakes and bacon they begin to cook.
After the food is done cooking Deacon goes to wake his kids up so they can eat breakfast.
After he gets them all up they begin to question where they are at.
" Well, when we left the hospital you all were asleep. Since Mrs. Peterson drove me to the hospital, she brought us back to her house because she saw how tired I was and was worried that I might fall asleep while driving home." he says telling a little white lie. "Now come on, breakfast is waiting."
The kids follow him to the kitchen to see Savannah setting the table.
They begin to ask about their nana while they eat.
Deacon tells them he will tell them later. After breakfast was over Deacon and the kids head home so they can get ready to go see Judy.
Heading upstairs to get dressed, Savannah wanted to make a good impression on Judy.
This was Annie's mom after all. Looking at the clock she saw it was time to leave.
Walking out the Savannah feels confident as she goes to get in her car to go see meet Judy.
