Jessica kept looking at the picture, even after he let go of her hand and explained the picture. "Your mom is really pretty." She stated quietly. She moved her eyes over to Deano and smiled. "Sorry, it just reminds me of a picture of my mom and I." She looked down at the ground for a second, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear.

Deano watched her. He really was lucky to have his mom. He was thankful to his uncle and dad for her. If they hadnt saved her on the Island then he wouldnt be around now, and Jasper wouldnt have an amazing person for his wife. The many times he's nearly lost his dad because of hunting.. he probably would be in her shoes right about now. "Im sure your mom is proud of you" he said softly and then lifted her chin up. "Even I believe that"

As much as she would love to believe that, a small part of her knew that wasn't true. She cleared her throat and inhaled deeply. "So uh...you were taking me somewhere." She changed the subject, laughing a little.

Deano nodded and then smiled. "Come on. Lets go and see my dad. He might be a bit crazy but its okay cause we love him anyway" he chuckled and then walked with her out the back door. He walked over to the garage and knocked on the door before pulling it open slightly. "Dad?" he called out and waited to see if there was an answer.

Jessica followed him, continuing to look at the pictures on the wall. She licked his lips and came to a stop just behind him when Deano called out for his dad. She crossed her arms over her chest and swallowed the small lump in her throat. She waited, still completely nervous.

"Huh I guess he's not around.." Deano sighed and then looked up at the house. "I guess I'll have to ask Rafe to look at the Charger" he knew that Rafe was always jealous of him because Deano had the car and he didnt. He looked back over at her and then grinned. "Are you nervous?" he teased at her.

Jessica took a step back and looked at the house herself for a split second. It sounded horrible, but she was actually glad his dad wasn't here. It calmed her nerves. Slightly. She dropped her eyes back to Deano and smiled a little. "No, of course not." She said sarcastically.

Deano laughed and looked around the yard. "My dad isnt anything like my uncle. Infact you wouldnt even think that they were related" Sure he didnt always see Rafe because he was always hunting, but when he did drop by things were always kinda of tense between Jasper and Rafe. He walked over and sat down on a seat. For once Deano felt like he could be himself with this girl. Even if they had just met.

Jessica walked a little towards where he was sitting, uncrossing her arms and letting them drop to her side. "Thats pretty much what my entire family is like." She laughed, playing with the charm bracelet that wrapped her wrist. She came to a halt a little ways from him and tilted her head a little to the side.

Deano looked down. He was pretty sure that she didnt want to hear about his family. He bit on his lip and then looked back up at her with a soft smile on his lips. So many times he had to keep secrets. Keep his mom's secret. Keep his dad and uncle's secrets. For once he actually wanted to tell her. Just to tell someone that his family was.. special.

He was quiet for a long time. She swayed a little, waiting for him to say something or at least do something. Considering he had been so blissfully excited to introduce her to his parents and his uncle, Jessica would have expected him to have tons of stories to share. From the look on his face, he seemed as if he was debating whether or not to tell those stories. "So..." She said, smiling and trying to lighten the mood. "Since I'm starving, I suggest we go get some deliciously gross fast food."

Deano nodded and looked around the yard before bringing his eyes back to hers. "Sure" he grinned and then stood up. He pushed his eyebrows together when he heard a car door slam shut. He smiled as he looked over at the driveway out the front. Her blonde hair was up in a neat bun at the top of her head, and her work suit really did suit her. His mother was beautiful. "Come on" he said softly to her and nudged his head towards the house. He needed to grab the car keys anyway.

Jessica hear the car door herself, and glanced in the direction. As if she had stepped right out of that picture hanging in the hallway, Deano's mother walked up towards the house. Jessica watched her for a second before following after Deano. She continued to twist the charm bracelet around her wrist.

When they got into the house Jo was too busy laughing with Rafe. They had always got along really well. He smiled at Jessica before looking back at his mother. Her eyes lit up when she laughed. "Hey baby" Jo said softly and then looked over at Jessica. She wasnt sure if she should be wiery of her or something but Deano gave a slight shake of the head. "Mom this is Jessica. Jessica, this is my mother Jo" he looked between the two females. "Well its nice to meet you Jessica" Jo smiled at her. The girl was pretty.

Jessica caught the almost uneasy look Jo had as she looked over Jessica. She swallowed the lump in her throat and put on her best fake smile. "Hi." She said, a little shy and yet managed to be more upbeat then she usually was. She looked over at Deano for a second, trying to figure out what else she should say.
