Joe was stunned, "Please say something, Joe. The silence is killing me."

"I'd love to see you and Johnny together. I'm just shocked. That's all."

"Joe, you know both of them better than I do. Am I falling for the wrong person?"

"Bobby is your perfect match. Jack is sort of your opposite, but you know what they say, opposites attract."

"Is that mumbo jumbo really true though?"

"I don't know, but you have to follow your heart whatever you do; and who knows maybe Teddy is right for you."

Jackie smiled and laughed at Joe. Then she hugged him, "I don't think I've ever properly thanked you for stepping in as a father for me. Thank you, Joe. You have no idea how much gratitude I have for you."

"Jackie, you've been with us through everything. I can't thank you enough," he replied as they still hugged.

      Rose then walked over to them and joined in on the hug kissing Joe's cheek. "Never a dull moment."

     "Not a single one," Jackie replied, "But this wonderful craziness is the reason you're all so close and I love that about this family. As a matter of fact, I love this family in general."
