"I feel ya, but it's now so we just have to deal with it while we have it and we can't change the past so accept the present." Lizzy says touching Luke's arm.

"I know but...part of me just thinks..." Luke sighs. "You feel like you could have protected her from this." Lizzy says.

"Have a seat, any where's fine. I just have to get her calmed down first. And excuse the mess I haven't gotten around to cleaning up yet. I'm sorry." Bo says.

"It...doesn't matter." Luke says walking off. Lizzy watches him go then excuses herself. She finds him leaning with his forearms on the top rail of the fence staring off into the sunset. "I know it hurts you Luke." Lizzy says softly leaning back against the fence. "I just thought that...how could she not tell us that she was this stressed. I mean...I know she says we didn't but really did Bo and I do something that drove her to this? Not to leave I don't think we could ever push her to leave but did we push her too hard and stress her out so much that she needs to leave?" Luke asks. "I don't know what caused it Luke but I do know that you love your cousin and she loves you. You just...you gotta let things happen. I know you want to protect her but..Some times you just have to let her step out on her own." Lizzy says.

"Sara please calm down." Bo says trying to rock Sara and answer the door. "Oh come on in Daisy."

"Daisy really..." Luke started. "Luke it's ok. We'll manage Daisy. We're sorry we haven't been more helpful for you. I didn't think we drove you that far though." Bo says.

Lizzy sighed and let her good friend Freddy in on what was going on before going to check on Tessa who was still fast asleep. Meanwhile at Bo's he was rocking Sara trying to calm her down but nothing he tried seemed to be working.

Luke and Bo look at each other for a moment then nod. "Sure what's wrong?" Luke asks.

So they spend the afternoon talking.

"It's ok Daisy." Lizzy whispers.

"Yeah sure. What did you want to talk about?" Lizzy asks.

"That's true." Lizzy says. Soon they were tucking in to a wide spread picnic at the Duke farm with Bo, Luke, Uncle Jesse, Cooter, Enos, and David.

"Anything you do will be enough. I know how hard headed he can be at times." Lizzy says.

"That's strange. All of ours are gone." Lizzy says. "Tree's picked clean." Then she lifts her nose to the air. "Do you smell that? I smell...cooked peaches." She follows her nose as it leads her inside. "Something wrong Lizzy?" Cooter asks. "No, move." Lizzy says. Cooter raises an eyebrow as he steps aside. Then sharing a look with Daisy he follows Lizzy to the kitchen. "Is that...peach pie?" "Yeah Mrs. Lulu was kind enough to make it for me. I know it's probably not gonna be as good as the one you usually make but...I thought you'd like it. She made some fresh peach ice cream too." Cooter says. "Aw thank ya Daddy." Lizzy says hugging him.

"Thank you Daisy. This means a lot to me." Lizzy says.

"Alright then. You go talk to Uncle Jesse and I'll see if we got any peaches left." Lizzy says.

"I tried to explain it to him but maybe you could talk to him? Please Daisy I don't know what to say. I've tried everything I could think of but...I can't get through to him. Not like I used to." Lizzy says.

"That would be great. Why don't we see if Uncle Jesse will cook up some of his famous bar-b-q and we'll have some fresh peaches...Oh Daisy it's gonna be great." Lizzy says.

"I know...I just...I want to go home, I want to be with my girls but...I can't go back not to him, not until I know that he's supporting me with this dream. Until I know that and he shows me that he cares for me with more than just flat words...I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to him." Lizzy says.

"Of course we will. This baby is strong. They'll pull through. I know they will." Lizzy says.

"Look at it this way Daisy, if they move the shoot to Possum Hollow, which I know they're going to, I can still live at the house with Bo and the girls and see you every day but shoot when they need me to. It's less than 25 miles away. Nothing will change." Lizzy says.

"Oh...well maybe...Hmmm. Maybe you should go stay with Enos. I mean that way the boys can't pressure you and all that. Beside I'm home now so I'm gonna make sure you're gonna be ok." Lizzy says.

"Sure what's up?" Lizzy asks touching her friend's arm.

"I have no doubt that he still loves me I just...He came over today and...well things got heated and not in a good way. He just...I feel like he doesn't want me acting even if they do move it to Possum Hollow...I just I get the feeling that he thinks I'm better off as a housewife and mother and I get restless. I love my girls I love them to death but...staying home with them all the time I just keep wondering you know. What if this acting job is really my ticket. I love it so much Daisy and I feel like he doesn't respect that." Lizzy says.

"Is there anything wrong Daisy?" Lizzy asks looking at her best friend with concern.
