Muses: Golden Moments
POV Alters between Regan and Trixie
I most likely have everything wrong regarding college semesters, please forgive me since I'm not an American and your school system is different from my Country. TA

February 14th 2001
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I can't believe it, I'm holding my beautiful new born daughter, smiling down at my wife of two years who sleeping fitfully after giving birth, sitting here with Dana Rose in my arms and watching over my wife I remember the struggles we overcome to be together. It all begun when I met a little minx's who wormed her way into my heart without my knowledge at first, that is till it hit me in the face five years ago. It all begun when she began to have trouble with her boyfriend at the time.

April 5th 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She came to see me again, that makes it five times this week? He's backed out of another date with her again, stupid fool, he's going to lose her for good if he keeps it up, then maybe I'll have a chance with her.
I never meant to fall head over heels in love with her, it crept up on me, it happened when she was fifteen, she was jailbait and I knew I couldn't do anything about my feelings, she started helping me when the all guys headed off to college, leaving her and the other girls behind, since they were still in high school, while the other two girls enjoyed the attentions of their boyfriends, leaving her with a lot of time on her hands, they didn't mean to make her feel left out but it can't be help when their boyfriends made an effort to come home from college to see them, while her man kept making excuses after excuses about why he couldn't come home and see her, when he was home, he ignores her and treats her like a sister more than anything. I really wish he'd set her free instead of stringing her along like he is, it not fair on her.

May 1st 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He's done it again, it's her birthday today, and he promised to come home for her eighteenth birthday but he called at the last minute telling her that he was unable to make it, he told her that he had to study for an exam, damn him, he's made her cry again, I noticed the tear stains on her cheeks when I went to see her, doesn't he know what a precious jewel she is? I had to fight the urge to wrap my arms about her and comfort her.
Her brother came to see me today, it seems he had also noticed how his friend is mistreating his little sister and is worried about how to tell her something he had seen when he had paid him a visit, it seems that the little shit has another girlfriend, a tall leggy blond model like girl, I was unsure about how to answer him, how can you tell someone that their boyfriend/girlfriend was cheating on them?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
May 3rd 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He's done it again, he called me at the last minute that he was unable to come home for my birthday, he been doing that a lot to me breaking dates and promises, I think it's his way of breaking up with me, just wish he'd tell me instead of lying to me all the time, it's getting tiresome.
I'm sort of relieved if we do breakup, my feelings have changed since he left for college, I still love him but I'm not in love with him, is there a difference between the two? I'm so confused I need to talk to someone but who?
Brian been acting weird around me, he knows something and won't tell me, I know it but what is it?
Mart being almost nice to me as well it's scary, that confirms that he knows what Brian knows, wish they'd tell me already.
Oh well, whatever it is they will tell me when they ready, it's no use in pushing them into telling me, they'll only dig their heels in if I push, stubborn fools.
I wish I could sneak down to the stables and go for a ride on Susie but moms wants me to watch Bobby so she can spend sometime with dad before he heads off to work.
Brian and Mart have gone to see Honey and Diana before they leave for college tomorrow.
So here I am on my own again left with my thoughts, not liking where they heading, I need to talk to someone, maybe Regan, I've been spending a lot of time helping him in the stables.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I saw him again today, I wish I knew what it was about him that makes me feels so damn comfortable being around him? When I'm with Jim I feel that I have to be a certain way, I always feel self-conscious when I'm with Jim, but when I'm with him I can be myself, he doesn't tell me to act a certain way nor does he lectures me when I work on a case, he just asks me to be careful.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
May 12th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It's finally over, I broke up with Jim last night, he finally came home and would you believe it with some blond creature called Bambi or some such thing, an air head if there was ever such a thing, it's plain to see what attracted his interest in her and it wasn't her brain that was for sure.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
May 12th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
YES! It's over, she finally dumped his sorry ass. I don't know what the fool was thinking letting go of Trixie for that woman, actually I don't think he was thinking with his brain, anyone with eyes and a half a brain could see that Trixie is a thousand times better than that bimbo.
Jim had taken her riding and while he was saddling Jupe and Strawberry, she was giggling and flirting with Dan and Brian who were grooming Lady and Buttercup, and me, Jim didn't even care that she was hitting on other men in front of him but I guess as long as he was getting it he didn't care, her girlie giggles and flirting with anything in pants drove me batty, if I ever laid eyes on her again it will be way to soon for my liking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
June 23rd 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She leaving for college today, she joining her brothers at NYU, they'll all sharing an apartment together at their parents request, Dan is also moving in with them. I'm glad that he is, I've been worried about him, there something going on with that boy.
She came to see me earlier, they driving to New York after lunch, before she left she gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and a promise that she'll keep in touch with me. I was on a high for the rest of the day after she left, it felt so nature to have her in my arms, now they feel empty.
I'm going to miss her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
June 23rd 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I went to say goodbye to him and on impulse gave him a hug and a kiss, along with a promise to keep in touch with him. A promise I plan on keeping.
As we were leaving, after picking up Honey, I smile when I saw him standing behind the Wheelers as they wave goodbye, for some reason I continue looking back till I couldn't make him out before turning back into my seat, I realized that I was going to miss him a lot, more than I thought I would.
I noticed that both Mart and Dan giving me strange looks when I faced the front again giving them a big smile that confuses them even more, I'm sure they will be asking me what wrong when we're at the apartment.
On the drive to NYU Campus, I was rather quiet. As I enjoyed the scenery I listen as Honey and Diana chatted about life in general, they were going to share a dorm room together, while I live with my brothers, I think it's our parents way of keeping us safe and for them to be at ease that I have my brothers looking out for me, I think both moms and dad remember their wild days away from their parents.
I'm actually glad that my parents insisted on my living with Brian and Mart, not that I'll ever admit it to them but I missed them a lot when they left for college.
Dan had told me that living in the dorms wasn't all that and if Dan said that then it true, there something really bothering him, there was more reasons why he is moving in with us Beldens this semester than he told us, much more and I plan on finding out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
July 2nd 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I received my first letter today, I decided to wait till I was in my apartment before reading it, it burnt a hole in my shirt pocket all day, while the day dragged by so slowly that it wasn't funny, well it seemed that way to me that is.
Tom Delanoy helped me excise the horses today, he doesn't normally but with everyone gone he wasn't needed for his usual duties as chauffeur since Matthew Wheeler and his wife Madeleine were in Paris France for a business trip.
I caught Tom looking at me strangely every so often during the ride, when he asked me what was wrong I told that I missed the Bobwhites, that it was too quiet without them. I didn't tell him that it was only one particular Bobwhite I missed more than the others.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Finally I can finish work and relax for the rest of the evening, I turned down Tom's offer of heading down to the pool hall for a guys night out, which I don't do often but I needed to read Trixie's letter and nothing was going to stop me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After having dinner of reheated pot roast, I settle down in my favorite chair, I opened the letter and began to read it, it was basically filled with everyday things but I didn't care, I still had a piece of her even though she was not here, and more importantly I was still apart of her life.
After reading the letter I decided to write back to her, once my mind was made up I went searching for some loose paper and a pen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
July 15th 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I had mail waiting for me, a quick note from Bobby added into a letter from Moms and dad, Brian and Mart had left it out for me to read, I was glad that they weren't there when I noticed that there was also a letter from Regan waiting for me as well. I wonder what they thought about that? Oh well I better expect some questions from them when they get home or in the morning.
I finally had the place to myself tonight, Brian out with Honey, Mart moping about since he and Di broke up, it seems that she loved the added attentions paid to her by other males, female version of Jim I guess, Dan was over at his friend's Adam studying, so here I am eagerly replying to his letter, once I was finish Mart and Dan walked in, talk about prefect timing, acting as casual as I could I quickly stuffed the letter into a blank envelope, planning on addressing it once in my room, I knew that if Mart knew who I was writing to, he'd give me hell and I didn't want Dan feeling uncomfortable with me writing to his uncle.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
September 7th 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh god, she just walked in looking totally beautiful, looking into her eyes I smile as see a flash of something flash in her eyes as she stares at my shirtless chest, I had taken off my shirt while mucking out the stalls.
I knew that she was coming home for the weekend, it's her parents twenty-fourth wedding anniversary.
If she doesn't quit staring at me, I'm going to explode, I'm that close and that was just from her looking at me.
God it's killing me, I have to tell her how I feel about her real soon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
September 7th 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
OHMYGOD, is that what hidden under his shirt? Why is this man still free? Looking like that he should had been married by now, how did he slip through? Their lost and my gain.
Lowering my eyes from his naked chest, I notice a slight bulge in front of his jeans, once I realized what I was staring at I torn my gaze away from the tantalizing sight. I felt my face heat up and was absolutely sure that my face was beet red, as I lifted my eyes, I find myself staring helplessly lost in his amused green eyes.
Have you ever heard that expression that time stands still?
It's true.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
September 9th 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh my god, he asked me out on a date. Regan had caught up with me after moms and dad party, I was just walking out the door when he approached me. I had tried to avoid him all day and night since embarrassing myself at the stable earlier in the weekend but everywhere I turned he was there, during dinner he traded places with Honey, who wanted to sit next to Brian and readily agreed. I didn't miss her look, between her and Di they had been setting up dates for me, none of them had appealed to me at all, wish that they would stop setting me up like that.
I know exactly who I want and I plan on getting him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
September 9th 1998
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yes! I have a date with the most gorgeous woman in the world. I can't believe that she actually said yes. I was beginning to worry when she went out of her way to avoid me all weekend.
I manage to catch her before she left and asked her if she would like to go to dinner and a movie with me tomorrow night and she said yes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sitting in the passages seat with Miss Trask driving them back to Manor House, as she drove as I stared out into the inky blackness, so deep in thought that I missed her glances, it wasn't till she pulled to a stop in front of the garage and asked me if everything was alright, after telling her that everything was great I got out of the car and headed towards my apartment letting myself in tossing my keys on the small table that sat beside the door as I closed the door I caught my appearances in the mirror that hung above the table, moving closer I took in the dazed and glazed look in my eyes, no wonder Marge asked me if I was alright, I look like a love stuck puppy, feeling a smile tugging at my lips, Oh how true that was, I was so deep in love I don't know what I'm doing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
September 10th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I know that I'm wearing a sappy smile on my face and have worn it since Regan asked me out. I didn't need Mart and Bobby teasing me all day about it but no matter what they said nothing could or would spoil my mood.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Glancing at my watch for what seemed like the thousandth time, could the day drag any slower?
After a long day of confused looks from Brian and Dad and constant teasing from Mart and Bobby I was more than glad to lock myself in my room to get ready for my date, I decided to go for the semi casual, I wasn't sure where we were going for dinner.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
September 10th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
One last look at my appearance nodding as I smoothed my black Jean shirt over my chest, once satisfy I picked up the roses I had bought that afternoon, patting my pocket to make sure that I had my keys I left my small apartment and down the narrow stairs that lead to my rooms, heading over to my jeep, climbing in I laid the roses on the empty seat inserting the key I started the jeep up and headed over to Crabapple farm.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
September 10th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He's here I decided to stay upstairs till mom came and got me, I wanted to make an impression for our first date.
I really hope that he doesn't get dragged over the coals to much, I just know that Brian is going to pull that big brother act and question Regan while Mart and Bobby would snicker and tease him unmercifully, I'm just grateful that Regan knows them and will just give it back to them and maybe a little revenge of making them clean out the stables.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
September 10th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh here it comes the big brother speech blah blah, you'd think that Brian never met me before if you went by his questions, I was thankful when Peter stepped in since I talked to him and Helen they agreed that since Trixie was over eighteen it was her decision if she wanted to go out with me.
Oh my god she is absolutely breath taking her light blue dress fell just above her knees, her blond curls flowed about her shoulders, she worn no makeup letting her nature beauty shine without any help.
Ignoring the others in the room I smiled at her and told her how beautiful she looked, smiling as she blushed turning her cheeks a nice shade of red, handing her the roses I bought.
After ten minutes of idle chat I told Trixie that if we didn't leave now we'd be late.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
September 11th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh what a night Regan went all out for our first date, we went to Golden, a new restaurant that had just open a month ago.
I had gone there with the family a week after it was opened and had told Honey and Regan how much I liked the place, it was laid back and casual just my style, I hate going to classy restaurant. I'm always nervous that I'm going to spill something or embarrass myself by doing something really stupid.
We both had a great time during dinner Regan kept stealing bites off my plate and fed me bites off his, once we finished dinner we had dessert of chocolate covered fruit and ice-cream.
After our meal we went for a stroll through the park before going to the movies what show we went to I can't tell you I was too busy watching Regan to take any notice.
We share our first kiss while saying hello to Hoppy and what a kiss it was.
I'm not looking forward to heading back to college at all.
At least I'm seeing him today, I have to tell him how I feel before I leave tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
September 11th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up this morning feeling damn fine and for once didn't feel like getting up, I just wanted to stay in bed and savor the memories of our first kiss.
I'm dreading tomorrow, she heading back to college with her brothers and the others.
I've decided that when we take the horses out for a ride I'm going to tell her how I feel about her I can't let her leave without telling her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trixie
September 11th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
With my mind made up I hurried through my chores and then made my way up to the stables smiling when I saw Regan petting Jupes nose and talking in a low voice I wondered what he was telling the high spirited horse.
I waited till he finished speaking to the horse and moved towards him, I remember saying something but for the life of me I can't remember what I said to him, you see I was totally lost in his eyes, I could plainly see the love within them, the next thing I remember was being in his arms and being kissed like there was no tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Regan
September 11th
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
YES! YES! She loves me, Trixie came down to the stable to see me I had been engrossed in telling Jupes that I was going to go and see Trixie after I finished mucking out the stalls and tell her how I felt about her, only to find that she was waiting for me to finish with Jupiter I remember her looking into my eyes and plainly seeing into my soul then she rushed into my arms all the while saying that she loved me.

I manage to catch her before she left and asked her if she would like to go to dinner and a movie with me tomorrow night and she said yes.

Sitting in the passages seat with Miss Trask driving them back to Manor House, as she drove as I stared out into the inky blackness, so deep in thought that I missed her glances, it wasn't till she pulled to a stop in front of the garage and asked me if everything was alright, after telling her that everything was great I got out of the car and headed towards my apartment letting myself in tossing my keys on the small table that sat beside the door as I closed the door I caught my appearances in the mirror that hung above the table, moving closer I took in the dazed and glazed look in my eyes, no wonder Marge asked me if I was alright, I look like a love stuck puppy, feeling a smile tugging at my lips, Oh how true that was, I was so deep in love I don't know what I'm doing.

I know that I'm wearing a sappy smile on my face and have worn it since Regan asked me out. I didn't need Mart and Bobby teasing me all day about it but no matter what they said nothing could or would spoil my mood.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Glancing at my watch for what seemed like the thousandth time, could the day drag any slower?
After a long day of confused looks from Brian and Dad and constant teasing from Mart and Bobby I was more than glad to lock myself in my room to get ready for my date, I decided to go for the semi casual, I wasn't sure where we were going for dinner.

One last look at my appearance nodding as I smoothed my black Jean shirt over my chest, once satisfy I picked up the roses I had bought that afternoon, patting my pocket to make sure that I had my keys I left my small apartment and down the narrow stairs that lead to my rooms, heading over to my jeep, climbing in I laid the roses on the empty seat inserting the key I started the jeep up and headed over to Crabapple farm.

He's here I decided to stay upstairs till mom came and got me, I wanted to make an impression for our first date.
I really hope that he doesn't get dragged over the coals to much, I just know that Brian is going to pull that big brother act and question Regan while Mart and Bobby would snicker and tease him unmercifully, I'm just grateful that Regan knows them and will just give it back to them and maybe a little revenge of making them clean out the stables.

Oh here it comes the big brother speech blah blah, you'd think that Brian never met me before if you went by his questions, I was thankful when Peter stepped in since I talked to him and Helen they agreed that since Trixie was over eighteen it was her decision if she wanted to go out with me.
Oh my god she is absolutely breath taking her light blue dress fell just above her knees, her blond curls flowed about her shoulders, she worn no makeup letting her nature beauty shine without any help.
Ignoring the others in the room I smiled at her and told her how beautiful she looked, smiling as she blushed turning her cheeks a nice shade of red, handing her the roses I bought.
After ten minutes of idle chat I told Trixie that if we didn't leave now we'd be late.

Oh what a night Regan went all out for our first date, we went to Golden, a new restaurant that had just open a month ago.
I had gone there with the family a week after it was opened and had told Honey and Regan how much I liked the place, it was laid back and casual just my style, I hate going to classy restaurant. I'm always nervous that I'm going to spill something or embarrass myself by doing something really stupid.
We both had a great time during dinner Regan kept stealing bites off my plate and fed me bites off his, once we finished dinner we had dessert of chocolate covered fruit and ice-cream.
After our meal we went for a stroll through the park before going to the movies what show we went to I can't tell you I was too busy watching Regan to take any notice.
We share our first kiss while saying hello to Hoppy and what a kiss it was.
I'm not looking forward to heading back to college at all.
At least I'm seeing him today, I have to tell him how I feel before I leave tomorrow.

I woke up this morning feeling damn fine and for once didn't feel like getting up, I just wanted to stay in bed and savor the memories of our first kiss.
I'm dreading tomorrow, she heading back to college with her brothers and the others.
I've decided that when we take the horses out for a ride I'm going to tell her how I feel about her I can't let her leave without telling her.

With my mind made up I hurried through my chores and then made my way up to the stables smiling when I saw Regan petting Jupes nose and talking in a low voice I wondered what he was telling the high spirited horse.
I waited till he finished speaking to the horse and moved towards him, I remember saying something but for the life of me I can't remember what I said to him, you see I was totally lost in his eyes, I could plainly see the love within them, the next thing I remember was being in his arms and being kissed like there was no tomorrow.

YES! YES! She loves me, Trixie came down to the stable to see me I had been engrossed in telling Jupes that I was going to go and see Trixie after I finished mucking out the stalls and tell her how I felt about her, only to find that she was waiting for me to finish with Jupiter I remember her looking into my eyes and plainly seeing into my soul then she rushed into my arms all the while saying that she loved me.
