Jerry was surprised that her daughter who disliked being out in the fields as there were bugs ran up to him. "I wanted to see you its been forever since the last time!" Jerry laughs at this statement because as always his daughter was impatient with everything which didn't fit with the slow life of the farmlands. " what do you mean forever? I saw you when I went to eat lunch. Maybe when I finish this Row I can take a break and be with you and mommy is that alright?" "Okay but don't take too long!" 'I guess I'll have enough time to finish the field before the month ends so I guess I can come back home earlier than usual'.

After finishing tilling the last row for the day he heads back and starts to think of his past as a competent soldier going through the ranks and after the failed raid on Scotland in 1310 he decided to use most of the assets and his influence to get himself a farm, he retired and moved in there with his wife wishing to have a calm life, and due to this he was forgotten faded away after 6 years despite having an impressive record. When he reaches home he smells the wonderful aroma of food, after smelling it he was filled with anticipation to eat his wife's wonderful cooking with his mouthwatering with more liquid than an ocean.

He walks into the kitchen and sees Olivia, his wife cooking, and decides to sneak up on her. "Who's this for?" he asks this loudly while grabbing Olivia by the waist and embraces her. "Ah! Jerry don't do that one of these days you will scare me to death one of these days, I'm starting to get old!" She slaps him to show how much he sacred her, "Don't say that, you are plenty young and I know that you won't die from me giving you a simple scare. Anyways what are you making for supper?" He gazes at the food with one filled with hunger as he waits for her response. "It's beef vegetable soup with bread." "Oooh, I quite like that can I eat till I've had my fill?" "Yes, there's plenty to go around." They stay in their embrace until Alice walks in.

"Daddy! Are you finally done with the field?" The couple hears this and they let go while suppressing their laughing from her impatience of want things then and there.

The family sits down at the table and start discussing trivial things and other oddities. "Hey, Jerry is everything going steady at the fields?" Olivia asks this out of curiosity about her husband's job and slight hobby. "It's going quite well the section I'm working on will be done by the end of the month and planting will start as soon as that's done." "Dad? After dinner can you tell me another story?" "Sure." After putting his daughter to sleep Jerry feels something he hasn't felt since being a soldier in the army, but he waves it off since he thinks it just nothing.
