Last chapter :) R&R

"They aren't in there!" "What were they thinking going out when there could be a blizzard?" Wyatt shook his head at Bryana, who had asked the question, "They weren't thinking at all."

Wyatt stared with mixed feelings at the carpet and then burst out, "I told Sam that we might have a blizzard!" Luke reached out and patted Wyatt on the shoulder. "Lets pray that they'll get back safely." Wyatt shocked everyone in the room by yelling, "I don't want to pray, I want my daughter safely out of the blizzard!" Then realizing what he had just said he hung his head. "Wyatt, I want Jake back too, but there's nothing we can do. It's snowing to hard for us to walk in it, and I don't want to hurt a horse." Bryana put her hand in her husbands hand and said, "Come on Wyatt, let's pray." It was agreed that the two men with children out there should pray. Luke went first.

"Heavenly Father, we ask that you keep Jake and Sam safe out there. Please bring them home soon. We know that they are in your hands, dear Lord, Amen." Then Wyatt prayed. "Dear Lord, I pray that you bring my little girl home safe, and Jake too. Amen." Then Cody pipped up, "And God, please don't let them have frostbite! AMEN!" Everyone chuckled a little bit at Cody's simple prayer, but couldn't go back to what they had been doing. Everyone was worried.

Out on the playa

"Jake where are we?" "I still don't know." Sam was shivering so bad she thought she would fall off of Cali.

Man I was going to tell her that I liked her, but I can't now! Good work Jake, you ruined a perfect chance to tell her you like her, by taking her out and getting her caught in a blizzard.

Jake heard Sam squeak and then saw Sam fall off of Cali. Cali took off. Jake grabbed Sam's wrist, and pulled her up behind him, then took off after Cali. "She'll take us home!" Sam put her arms around Jake's waist and held on tight. Her nose was so cold. Well actually all of her was cold. She buried her head in Jake's back.

Yay Sam! You're out in a blizzard with the guy you like, no make that love and you can't tell him, because you're too cold to talk! Yay Sam.

Sam began to fall asleep, but she didn't because Jake shouted, "HOME!"

Both Sam and Jake wanted to run in the house, but they had to take care of the horses first.

As soon as all the tack was put away Sam and Jake went to go inside. They couldn't open the door! Their fingers were just too numb. They rang the doorbell instead.

"Who could be at the door in this storm?" Bryana asked nobody in particular. Luke didn't answer, but went to answer the door.

He opened the door, and was immediately hugged. "Thank you so much for opening the door. We were very cold!" "Sam got so cold she fell off Cali." Luke returned the hugs, and then asked, "Why did you ring the doorbell instead of just coming in?" Sam was about to answer, but was knocked over by Cody. "Daddy! Daddy! Mama! Mama, it's Sammy!"

Wyatt and Bryana, and everyone else for that matter came running up.

"Oh Sammy, you had me so scared!" "Sam!" Bryana sounded so relived, and Wyatt couldn't say anything, just hug her.

Three hours later

After they had eaten, they sat around the fire playing truth or dare. Well the Ely boys, Jen, and Sam.

Cody had gone to sleep, and the adults were talking in the kitchen.

"Jake, truth or dare?" "Truth." "Who do you like?" Jake stiffened. So did Sam. Was it going to be her, or someone else? "Could I change that?" "Fine do a dare." "K. Dare." "Kiss..."

Please say Sam. Don't say Jen. I would rather kiss Sam. Duh I like Sam!

"Pick one of these girls and kiss her."

I only tolerate her because she is Sam friend, so I think I'll kiss Sam.

Jake moved toward Sam. Sam nearly freaked. Jake was going to kiss her!

"Wait there is a catch." "What's that?" You have to kiss her under the mistletoe, just like mom and dad."

Jake stood up and walked towards Sam. He helped her up. They walked over to the mistletoe.

At first the kiss was shy, but Jake deepened it later. Neither one of them heard the whispers of, "I think that answers who he likes too." And, "He does know he doesn't have to kiss her like that right?" "Man I know Sam is loving that!" While Sam and Jake were kissing Jen told the others that Sam liked Jake, and that she was going to try to tell Jake today.

Sam and Jake pulled apart. They both smiled. Sam blushed.

"Merry Christmas Sam." "Merry Christmas Jake."

They both knew that this was the best Christmas either of them had ever had.
