Darrin had not been surprised when he'd not seen Jessica since their kiss. His mother had noticed a slight change in his attitude the moment she'd returned with the kids. However, she'd not asked him anything about it. She hadn't wanted to risk angering him. He'd remained in his room for most of the week, going through the last stages of withdrawal. When they had finally gone away save for his cravings for the drugs, he was glad. He wasn't sure how much longer he could have continued dealing with it.

The first thing he'd done was asked his mother to get a few things for him from the store. When she'd returned, he'd thanked her and had immediately returned to his room, locking himself in. His had gotten quite long and honestly he'd grown tired of it. He cut the long strands and then proceeded to dye it a completely different color than he had in the past six years. He'd gone with a style that was more like what he'd always sported when he'd been in high school.

When his mother had seen what he'd done, she couldn't believe that he'd opted for going back to having black hair. It had always been a favorite of his and she'd honestly missed it. The rest of the week went by rather uneventfully. He'd spent time with Taylor and Nichola and had a wonderful few days. Even though he'd been furious with Jessica for forcing him to quit the alcohol and drugs, he was now able to think clearly enough to see that he was much better without the substances. He realized how much he'd missed spending time with his children and that he'd not been a very good father since Hannah had left.

Now that the weekend had arrived, they were all going to the water park with Jessica. Darrin was feeling rather nervous. He'd gotten ready, merely putting on his swim trunks, a black band shirt, his sandals, and sunglasses. He knew that without his hair being bright red he might be able to go a bit longer before anyone recognized him. Darrin had then started getting Nichola ready and then Taylor.

Judith had been the one downstairs, ready to go, when there was a knock at the door. She made her way to the door and opened it, revealing Jessica. "Hello dear." She said with a smile. She allowed Jessica to enter and then closed the door. "Darrin's upstairs getting the kids ready. They should be down in just a moment." Judith then made small talk with the younger woman. She informed her that Darrin had stopped having withdrawal symptoms a few days earlier and that he'd been spending more time with the kids. She did not mention what he'd done to his hair.

Suddenly, Nichola and Taylor came running down the stairs and headed straight for Jessica. They had missed her terribly. Nichola looked up at the older woman. "Can we go now?" She asked excitedly. Judith answered her. "Not until your father is down here." Nichola suddenly yelled, calling for Darrin. "Daddy!! Lets go!" Darrin was suddenly coming down the stairs and then entered into the kitchen where everyone was. He smiled down at Nichola as she ran to him, taking his hand and trying to pull him along. He allowed her to pull him and she quickly led the way out of the house. It was not lost on him that Taylor was doing the same to Jessica.

They decided to take Judith's van. Darrin buckled in both of his children and got in the back with them, telling the women they could have the front. The car ride to the park seemed almost awkward. Darrin had yet to say more than a hello to his friend. He just..wasn't quite sure what to say. Of course, if Judith took the children once they arrived at the water park, he was certain that he would eventually have to say something to her.
