Home is where the heart is

Ryan and Bentley walked into the room Brett was staying in and noticed he was asleep. Ryan smiled and Bentley stayed in his mothers arms as both fell asleep on the couch with a blanket over them. Bentley in Ryan's arms and Ryan laying back against the couch. They were so cute.

Brett later woke to the sight of them and smiled. "Not moving his arms because of how sore they had become he stayed there and watched the two sleep. As the setting sun casted s glow through the window Brett noticed what Levi had a long time ago. She was beautiful. He quickly let go of the thought though. She was basically his little sister and he was never one for a serious relationship and picking her as his first would raise too many heads. She was his best friend he had no right to feel any type of way for her.

Ryan slowly woke up before Bentley and smiled at Brett who was watching them. "Well hey there cowboy." She said and laughed softly with a smile. "He wanted to come stay the night with ya." She added as the sun continued to cast a glow. "What?" She asked noticing him just looking at her.

"Nothin He says with a week smile. "Is he alright?" He asks. If anything happened to him Brett would feel horrible about it. Seeing Bentley just as desperate as Levi was when he left this world it made him shake. He would have felt like he broke his promise to his friend. His last words always haunted Brett. After doing CPR he was able to bring Levi back for a short few seconds where he manger to say something. "Take care of them." He whispered and since. That day those words echoed in Brett's head. He knew who his friend was talking about and he swore upon his death he would. He promised, it was Levi's dying wish

"He's fine. He was jus startled is all. He said he was happy to hear your voice." Ryan whispered as she set Bentley down to sleep and walked over to Brett and kissed his forehead. "Thank you so much Brett. For everything." She whispered and smiled then went and sat in the chair as she watched Bentley sleep. He was exhausted as she didn't blame him.

"Ryan, stop thanking me, it's the right thing to do, no thanks deserved." He whispers smiling at her. "I'm glad he's alright, he didn't deserve that.l the only good thing about this was once they found Rebecca she would be with Stella where they belonged.

 

[isax]

"I know. He's home now that's all that matters." Ryan whispered with a smile and then sighed as she looked at him. "Brett, what if that cowboy I like is you?" She finally said it but she didn't say it to where he would catch on.

Brett laughed softly."then I would say you're crazy." He says teasingly. "But I wouldn't be surprised." He admitted. "I ci deer myself to be father good looking."

 

[isax]

Ryan just laughed and shook her head. "Well it was just a question so don't go assumin' things." She told him and yawned.

"I wasn't assumin' anything misses." He reassured her moving his arm slightly he winced. He hated hospitals and he couldn't wait to leave this place. They made his skin crawl.

 

[isax]

"Be careful." Ryan said as she smiled and laid there just watching Brett. Nothing would happen between them, that was made clear. She was fine with that honestly.

In the next couple of days Brett was released and sleigh returned back to work. One day while out in the barn he heard Bentley run up and smiled as he felt his arms wrap around his legs. Turning with a laugh Brett crouched down to his level. "Well hey there cowboy, long time no see how are ya?" He asks with a bright smile. When he saw Bentley's eyes rest on the bandages on Brett's arms he laughed lightly. "They'll be alright." He reassured him.

 

[isax]

Bentley shook his head and sighed. "I'm sorry." He said and touched them lightly. He worried about Brett a lot. Brett was the one who was like a father to him. "Dinner tonight?" He added.

"It's not your fault." Taking Bentley into a hug he nodded. "Of course, where's your mommy?" He asks taking back up to wipe his hands. Brett had plans he needed to ask Ryan about. Hopefully they pulled through.

"In the house." Bentley said as he smiled and then ran off to where his grandpa was. Ryan was in te kitchen, making sweet tea and when she heard the door open, she looked over and smiled. "Well hey there cowboy."

"Hi." Brett said with a smile. Stepping into the kitchen he our husbands in his jeans pockets. "How are things round here without me?" He asks with a laugh.

 

[isax]

"Boring and honestly rough." Ryan admitted with a sigh but then poured him a glass of sweet tea. "You doin' alright? Got yourself a girl yet?" She asked him.

"Oh it couldn't have been all that bad." Taking the glass from her hands he nodded in thanks before taking a sink. Laughing when he pulled it away. "No, I haven't but you should know I'm not who I used to be." There was a short pause before he continued. "Bentley mentioned dinner but I was winderin, if the two of you wanted to go to the festival. I'm sure Bentley would have fun and none of us have been in awhile."

 

[isax]

At the mention of the festival, all the memories of that day went through her mind. It was in a way hers and Levis first date. "I don't see why we won't. I'm down." She said with a smile and then looked at him. "You're not who you used to be huh? Id like to see you prove me wrong. You'll see a girl tonight and take her around the festival." She said with a laugh.

Brett nodded. "Prepare to get proved wrong." He said with a laugh.


When the three arrived Brett went to the ticket counter to by Bentley a ticket sheet for rides. Coming back he took Bentley's hand and asked him what he wanted to do first.

 

[isax]

Bentley pointed at the carousel and Ryan smiled. "Go with Brett? I'll meet up with yall." Ryan told Bentley and he smiled then went off with Brett. Ryan smiled and went under the big white tent where she stood in the back and watched everyone dance to the claps. Oh how she remembered that day well and she tried so hard not to cry while smiling. The memory playing in her mind.

Brett took Bentley to the carousel but once he saw where Ryan walked off too he smiled. Once he found Bella he handed her Bentley's tickets and ran for the tent. Stepping behind her he tapped her shoulder and held out his hand leading her into the square.

 

[isax]

When Ryan looked back, she looked at Brett and then laughed when she was lead into the square. She couldn't help but continue laughing the entire time they danced and when they pulled away, she held his hand and shook her head. "You really didn't have to do that. Where's Bentley?" She asked him. It was sweet.

"With Bella." He says with a giant smile. "And yes I did, you can't just come here and not dance." He felt her hand in his own and he noticed how natural it felt, was he wrong to think that way? They were both grieving over a person that was close to them. Maybe it was the moment. as if on cue the wind blew and he heard her laugh and watched her shake her head. "What? What is it?" He asks looking right at her.

 

[isax]

"Levi sure is pushin' it." Ryan told him then looked at their hands and released his. "Thanks for the dance." She whispered and felt the wind blow harder and Ryan sighed while shaking her head. "No Levi." She whispered and the wind stopped. She looked at Brett and smiled but felt his hand in hers. She looked him in the eye and became lost for awhile. Why did it all feel so natural?
