"I want you to take the job Viv. We'll figure out the rest as it comes along. You can't turn down this opportunity. It's too big. You deserve to be part of the whole process of your book becoming a movie." Jordan tells Vivian, as they lay on their bedroom floor together.

Vivian turns her head on Jordan's chest and looks up at her handsome husband.  "Really? Just like that? Take the job and we'll figure everything else out as it comes?"

"Yes babe. I can rearrange my schedule if I need to. No tour dates have been set, no tickets sold. All that can be put on hold. I'm not even done with the new album yet. We've barely started it. And if we're recording it when you start working on the film I can always record in California. Then we'd just have to figure out what to do about the kids school."

Vivian is overjoyed. She shouldn't have doubted Jordan would support her taking this job. He's always been supportive of her. He's never let her down. And he's always put her first. She wonders how in the world she got so lucky.

Vivian calls Tim Hallow and tells him the good news. He's thrilled to hear she'll be working on the film with him. He tells her that they have a writer working on the screenplay now. And once it's ready Vivian will receive a copy for approval. He also says he'll be sending over a offer and contract for her to have her lawyer look over. He says any changes need to be sent back as soon as possible.

About an hour later a intern arrives with her paperwork. Jordan calls his lawyer in California to stop by to look over the contracts. He tells Jordan he can stop by in about an hour. Vivian and Jordan read through the contract first. Its all pretty straight forward. The only change Vivian wants to make is being able to work from home if need be. But then Jordan notices something that makes him smile. "Viv, it says most locations for the film will be in Boston!"

"Oh my God J, that's amazing. I hadn't even thought about the story being based in Boston, so they'd film in Boston. Now that takes a little stress off the entire situation."

After the lawyers, the changes got made and the papers were finally signed. They were finally able to plan their trip to Disneyland the next day.

All the kids are super excited as the car pulls into the Disneyland parking lot.  The park is so huge. Vivian wonders how they will see everything. Lex, Layla  and Izzy want to ride rides. Hadley just wants to meet Mickey and Minnie. Donnie and Jordan suggest they just start walking and as they get to something they wanted to do, they do it. They have a blast. It's such a wonderful day. They all get to ride the ride It's a Small World.  Jordan and Vivian ride the Teacups with the twins and Donnie rides it with Izzy. Hadley is so excited as they meet Mickey and Minnie.

Vivian stares at Jordan and their kids on the ride home. He's sitting between the kids, an arm wrapped around each one. They are all fast asleep. Vivian can't take her eyes off them. Her entire world sits right across from her. Her mind wanders back to a time she doesn't like to think about. Tears pool in her eyes and quickly begin to fall down her cheeks.

Suddenly Donnie is sitting next to her. His arm goes around her shoulders. "Viv, are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Oh God Donnie, I'm fine," she whispers to him as she lays her head against his shoulder. "I'm just staring at my amazing husband and our wonderful children. And thinking about how my whole world sits right across from me. And then for some reason those years I was away from Jordan came rushing back into my mind. I haven't thought about my time away from Jordan in a very long time. But for some reason just now it all came rushing back. I don't understand why."

"Well sweetheart, does it matter? It's just memories, its history. As long as history doesn't repeat itself. Nothing will ever come between you and Jordan. You know that. I can't help but look at Angie, pregnant with my child again, while she holds onto our other two children and I know my life is exactly how it's supposed to be. Nothing else matters, my past is the least of my worries. It's my past. And I don't live there anymore. And it's the same for you. Leave your past in the past." He softly kisses her temple, squeezes her shoulders and moves over to his wife and daughters. Moving his youngest onto his lap and pulling Angie into his side.

Vivian knows Donnie is right, leave the past far behind. But something is eating at her, she can't quite put her finger on it. So she decides to push it to the back of her mind. And concentrate on the here and now. She smiles again, looking at Jordan. His eyes are open now and he stares at her. Their eyes lock on each other. His stare is heated and intense. She feels like he's making love to her with only his eyes. Her tongues wets her lips. He's taking her breath away with only his eyes. Oh God how long is this drive home? She fans her face.

Jordan can't handle it anymore, he gently lays Lex and Layla's heads onto the seat and he's next to her before she knows it. His mouth is on hers, kissing her deeply. He pulls away, breaking their kiss. "I love you so much Vivian Leigh Knight. I swear I fall more in love with you every single day." Their lips meet again, this time in a much softer kiss. His arms go around Vivian and he pulls her close to his chest. She closes her eyes and relaxes to the point of falling asleep. Finally in Jordan's arms all thoughts of the past disappear.

Jordan just holds onto her the rest of the ride home. He's happy and content, their is no other place he'd rather be. This is what life is all about! He was a lucky man.
