While all this happend Jake said his goodbye to Lily and gave her a kiss on the porch before leaving. When Lily came in she sat down on the couch beside Daisy and sighed "I really do love him mama, but I'm worried about him. . .even the small fact that he gave me his mama's ring."
Daisy chuckled, giving him a kiss "Well I'll go give Jesse his bath and then " she turned to the other young ones "Y'all need to get yours. Then we'll have our nightly singing before y'all go to bed."
Daisy smiled "Don't worry honey, your father and I as well as your uncles aren't going to let anything happen to you." Lily nodded "I know mama, but I'm the one who's supposed to protect them." she insisted.
