"Why bring me bonding today?" I asked as sits in a hair salon, I always want to change my hairstyle, but never really did it.

"Well, ever since the twins are born, I feel like we didn't spent much time together then we were."  He said.

"You left my brother with the twin?"

"Yeah, but Ma's also there."

"I wouldn't left the kids to Ma." I chuckle, "Nolan did most of the babysitting when all of us are little."

He laughed, "I remember Helen wants to name her kid after Pa and Ma, but Tommy told her no."

"Yeah, back then we thought he has a death wish, but turns out he didn't want too many Pony and Daniel running around." I laugh, "I cannot believe Ma actually forgive him for elope just because he name the twin after her and Pa."

We walk into another store, "Just so you know, I'm not wearing a dress."  I told him.

"But we're bonding." He gives me a puppy eyes.

No, no...

"Fine." I cave, "I cannot believe it, you're almost in your thirty's and it still works. I seriously hope you don't taught Lydia that, or else Josh's going to spoil her."

"I know, but I'm still going to teach her though, so her future boyfriend can spoil her."

"Shouldn't you keep her away from guy?"

"That's in Josh's territory, I'm just going to make sure she can find a boyfriend, married so I can plan her wedding, and I need grand babies."

"You have two toddlers." I pointed that out.

"Yeah, well I don't think they'll be dating if it's up to Josh." Eddy said "He'll scared away all the boys that want to look for her."

"I have a feeling."

"What about you?" He asked as I change in to the dress he give me, "We talk about the twins, Josh and I, what about you?"

"Remember my Aunt Artemis? I figured I can become someone like her, she's like the cool Aunt, even though she wasn't married, she still has a decent life."

"She has Louis, her son." He give me a look, "and you don't have anyone."

"I know." I said, "But who say you have to have someone? All I get was crush and burn, I tried to put myself out, I really tried. I am ready for what life brought me in the future, and I'll embrace what ever comes my way."

"Maybe Eli will come to his senses." He sigh,

"It probably means nothing." I said as I walk out, "I mean he doesn't look at me that way."

"You look amazing." He complimented me,

"Like actually looking like a girl?" I joked

"You always looks like a girl, but more beautiful." He smiles,

"Well, imagine what I'll look like in my wedding dress." I joked.

"Wedding?"

"I might not have one, but I can still dream." I said.

He chuckled, "I'll tell you what, if you actually get married in the future, I'll planned out the most amazing spring wedding you'll ever see."

"Sure, even though Ma will kill you if she didn't get to plan my wedding."

"Well, then I would still be happy that giving you a perfect wedding is the last this I do. So we got a deal?"

"You got a deal." I smile, "but I have to find someone."

"I have a feeling you will." He smiled.

"Not to Eli." I give him a look.

"You'll take that word back, that's if my brother stop being a tool."

I can see Bella's having a relaxing day, and I get her to laugh.

I send a text to someone while Bella's changing back in the fitting room.

Mission accomplished- me

Nice job, now can we beat your brother up?-Helen

Do you want our sister to be happy?- Willow

I close my phone as Bella walks out with the clothes she came with.

"Let's go home, I'll even cook dinner." I offered.

"You're not going to kill me, right?" She give me a look,

"Nope, I swear, you all need have confidence in me." I chuckle, "What do you want to do after dinner?"

"Anything but going to a club or alcohol related."

"Why not Alcohol?" I ask

"The first time I have some, I was kind of forced to drink those until I'm drunk. After I wake up, I lost the most important things for a girl." She said, "It'll only bring back some bad memories."

He did what?!

"I'm sorry, I should've have asked." I pull her into a hug, "We can do anything you want, as long as it didn't involve locking yourself up in the closet."

"How about we dress you up like girls." She asked.

"No dress, but you can paint my nails though." I said.

"Yay!" She laugh.

"But not in pink." I added

"Aww."

"Do you even have nail polish?" I asked , this is my last hope

"Nope, but Bridgette and Double K have them, I think they have tons of pink." She giggles as I sigh

Anyway, it'll be worth it, seeing her laugh.
