Birch Creek, December 2002

Despite his reassurances to Rachel, weeks passed quickly without Teaspoon uttering a word of his secret to Lou.

Yay for Cody and Jimmy! I'm happy they are Rachel's sons! :-)
I wonder who is her eldest...another rider or someone you don't plan to develop? Just a curiosity!

Teaspoon did wrong not bringing Lou in his weekend with Rachel and the boys. I understand his (very founded) fear to reveal Lou he has been seeing a woman, but I think this is what Lou fears the most: that his father will start to do things without her, excluding her from his life.

Lou's reaction isn't nice, but it's understandable. Teaspoon is substituting her mother AND he's "threatening" to change the way they live.

I hope she'll warm up to Rachel! Even in the series, Lou didn't like Rachel at first, because she saw her as a rival, but then she understood she could be a friend and a confidant.

I'm glad you liked my addition of Cody and Jimmy. Rachel's third son will turn up at some point, but not yet. He's now in Europe, remember? Maybe in Italy. :) Can I keep the secret about his identity, do you want me to tell you?
There will be some problems between Lou and Rachel, and because of that, with TEaspoon as well. Even though Teaspoon has provided a safe and steady home for Lou, deep down she cannot shed her sense of insecurity, and that feeling will be with her for many years. But don't worry; the problems with Rachel won't last for too long.
Thanks a lot!!!
