if there was one thing he hated to do more than anything, it was to leave her behind. she was also quite stubborn so doing so could turn out quite difficult. she wasn't incapable, he'd taught her plenty, she was capable of defending herself but he and the men were going to hit a large movement of king john's and it could bring about a large amount of unwanted attention. "marian..." he stressed slowly with a frown he could not help as he stepped towards her. he reached forwards and his hand brushed her cheek before he let his hand fall to her upper arm. he squeezed and swallowed as he tried to think for a minute. "please for this one, can you remain behind?" he spoke asking rather than telling. he would never demand it of her, but he really wanted her to stay behind.

Has he forgiven himself?

For everything that happened when Jack was younger? For what happened to his mother, for what happened to them in later life?

Aaron inhales, then exhales, then looks at his son with nothing but true love. He'd done everything he could to be a good father, to be a better father. He had to be a mother and a father, but he was grateful to have had the family support. As well as his teammates. They had supported him and Jack through some of the toughest times in their lives.

Michaela knew exactly how it felt to be new to town. The people of Colorado Springs were good people at heart, but...they didn't always warm up to strangers immediately.

She had noticed the new family and had decided that she would introduce herself and welcome them to town. Brian clung to her skirt as they walked towards the mercantile.

"Ma, can I have candy?" Brian asked once they were inside.

"May I?" Michaela corrected. "And you may have one piece."

Brian was too delighted by her answer to argue over only getting one piece. He was so excited that he made a beeline for the counter, nearly knocking over a few children as he did.

"Brian!" Michaela called out, exasperated.

Shaking her head with an affectionate smile, Michaela gathered a few items they needed for dinner. Then, she noticed the woman that she had seen yesterday. The one that was new in town.

Offering a genuine smile, she approached. "Hello. I noticed you and your family are new to Colorado Springs. Welcome. I'm Michaela Quinn."

"Everyone just calls her Dr. Mike." Brian piped up, appearing at her side.

It had been a long day and Tommy had decided to unwind. The summer heat had settled over Angel Grove, sending plenty of California residents in search of somewhere to cool off.

Tommy was no different. A few laps through the lake always soothed tired muscles while helping him keep his endurance sharp.
