"Where's Zac?" Taylor asked as he sat down next to his oldest brother.

Isaac smiled slightly, "Hopefully on a plane back to Michigan, and on his hands and knees asking for Linz's forgiveness. Not to mention reassuring her brother that he's not gonna make her cry again."

Taylor grinned, "Man, I hope they has a video camera."

He laughed, "Oh, I think they'll be all too willing enough to tell us all about it." He replied smugly, "It's one of those things that you just don't ever wanna let die, so you repeat it at every chance you get."

They sat in silence for a moment and Isaac smiled to himself, waiting for Taylor to get around to what he head to say.

Finally spoke up again, his voice soft and quiet. "Randy and I may have set a date for the wedding."

Jackpot. He thought wryly to himself. You're an open book, Tay. "What day is it?"

Taylor started fidgeting; "Well… you see we wanted to run it by you first and all…"

Isaac turned and looked at him, "It's your guys' wedding." He reminded slowly.

"I know that." Taylor replied dryly, "Oh God, trust me, Ike, that I know that."

He shrugged then, "Then why do I need to okay it for you?"

"Because it's Charm's birthday!" Taylor blurted out suddenly.

His face paled slightly and his mouth opened to remark.

"Not your daughter Charm's either." He answered lamely.

Isaac cleared his throat, "Why?" He questioned him softly.

Taylor sighed, "Because we loved Charm too, and because she's the one that got us together in the first place."

Silence surrounded them again, and Taylor was almost positive what the answer would be. A nice resounding, NO!

"Okay." Isaac answered, his voice still soft and quiet. "I'm sure she would be honored, and so would I."

"Just think about it before you give me an answer, okay?' Taylor asked, as he stood up and started pacing. "I mean, cause this is a big thing to Randy and I, and I really don't want to disappoint her, Ike. But at the same time I don't want to offend you or Charm, and I…"

"Tay," Isaac said grinning, "I said it okay. You can. I know D would have loved that."

He stopped, "You did? I mean we can?"

Still grinning Isaac nodded. "Yes, I did. And yes, you can."

Letting out a whoop of joy, Taylor pulled his brother up into a hug, laughing almost hysterically. When he pulled back he was smiling broadly, "I gotta go tell, Randy!"

Laughing as well Isaac nodded again, "Yes, you do. So go!"

Laughing again, Taylor took off running into the house and Isaac sat back down on the steps. His smile shrunk some, but stayed on his lips. Closing his eyes he took in a deep breath. Things were going to be okay.

They had to be. D was still up there looking down upon them all, so of course they would be!
