Thank you for your patience darling while your father and I work out our issues.  It will make us so much stronger in the end."<br/><br/>She reached out her hand for David as she kept Jessica snuggled tightly against her.  "Of course David, we'll head back if this doesn't work out.  In the meantime you two can pick rooms and get settled in.  We can drive by the high school and the mall and start to learn more about the town."<br/><br/>Jack's response chilled and saddened her.  "Come on darling, both kids are willing to give it a try.  If you want to spend the night in the hotel go ahead but at least come and be part of the family and look the place over.  We can sleep together on blankets on the floor just like when we were first married if you want to spend the night here."<br/><br/>Helen turned to the old woman her face blushing with embarrassment as the family's arguments were played out in public.  All she could do was put on a bold face of it and move on.  "See Jack, there is nothing else around here.  Let's at least check it out."  She shook her head.  "Thank you Mrs. Fisher, we'll love to see the place."<br/>
