but there is a lake.

Cool. Swimming's one

of my favorite things.

This is it, Mikey. We're home.

Wow!

It's really neat.

Welcome to your new home, chief.

I think you're gonna be

real happy here.

Here we are.

Hi!

Welcome!

Mikey, this is Mrs. Owens.

She lives next door.

- Hi.

- Hi.

And this is Ben.

Ben will be in

your class at school.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Alright!

I just know the two of you

are gonna be best of friends.

Mrs. Owens also has a

daughter named Jessie.

You want to see your room?

- Ben on come, too.

- Okay.

Where's your sister?

She had to go away to school.

Oh.

Wow, this is neat!

This is Rachel's job.

She creates these

aquariums for people.

She takes care of 'em.

Maybe you can he me, Mikey.

What's that?

That's a mommy fish

and her new babies.

Why are they separated?

Because this kind of

fish eats its babies.

- Really?

- Gross.

Can I take care of the baby fish?

Sure.

- Hi, Rachel.

- Shawn, thanks.

No problem.

Mikey, I want you to meet

my best friend, Shawn.

Hi.

Miss Gilder's a teacher.

She teaches fourth grade.

Is she gonna be my teacher?

Yes. But don't expect any favors

because I'm friends with your mom.

I love school.

That's good.

Mikey, you want to see

your room or what?

Well, how are you doing, Mom?

He seems like a good kid.

- You think so?

- Uh-huh.

You know more about kids

than I do, that's for sure.

This has all happened so fast.

I haven't even had times

to childproof the house yet.

You are going to make

a great mother.

A great mother!

Then why am I do nervous?

I think it's kind of

natural; don't you?

You and Neil have wanted

a family for five years.

A baby, yes.

But this child's been

shuffled around so much.

Yeah.

He'll do okay.

Just love him.

- You're right.

- Uh-huh.

He's no different than any other kid.

Did you brush your teeth?

Uh-huh.

Good. Then it's time

to hit the hay.

Good night, Mikey.

Mom, Dad.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Lights out, buddy.

Can you believe what

a great kid he is?

I think we really lucked out.

Yeah.

So have you kept up

on all your reading?

Uh-huh.

What do you think about that

fourth stage of development

in the laughler book?

Fascinating.

Rachel, there is no

fourth stage of development

in the laughler book.

I don't need to read any book

to tell me how to be a good mother.

A little help couldn't hurt.

You read too much, Trenton.

Somebody's got to do it.

It's been a long time, Neil.

It'll be better now.

Now we're gonna shoot

some bad guys.

Did you do this with your dad?

We didn't have the indian guides,

but I used to go out

riding with him a lot.

We did a lot of

fun things together,

just like you and I are going to.
