its a new day

Omaha finally gave up. Yes, Taylor had a way of getting him..into all sorts of fixes. Usually, he was left to his own vices when it came to Sheena.

Had they had a real date?

They'd help paint the rooms in Josie and Henry's new..but OLD house.

He had to admit, he worked pretty hard on the main floor bathroom. Sheena helped with the tiling. It started as a sticky mess that turned into laughter..and finally a master piece.

Now they were moving furniture around. They were cutting it close. Henry and Josie would be home with the new baby, any minute.

Camille went to pick them up at the hospital.

Sheena smiled ever so charming. Omaha smiled back. He wanted to play a trick on her. Say something was on her nose. Play around as if know one was here..and it would end with a kiss. Instead, he guessed they'd better be on their best behavior.

He took her hand.

"They're here!" Someone whisper shouted. Luckily, it wasn't a complete surprise party where they hid hid behind the couch.

Omaha drew Sheena near and somehow put his arm around her. She seemed fine with it, as if they'd mastered a dance of knowing the other's warmth.

Yes, they'd had long talks, gone on longer walks, even watched a hometown baseball game together and ate Popsicles from the Ice Cream truck.  Now they waited to welcome a couple with a newborn to their new home.
