"It's okay!" Dakota looked at Jacob and smiled. She rested her head on his shoulder. In the distance, you could hear the horses. Dakota looked at the tv. Minutes later, she fell asleep.
Dakota woke up. She didn't see Jacob anywhere. "Jacob?" No answer. She picked up her phone and dialed his number. He answered. "Where are you. Oh, no your not going to talk to your dad. Are you? You'll just go right back to jail. I don't want that to happen. Come back." She hung up and went to get Zion and Arden. Dakota got them dressed and layed them on the couch. She gave them their bottles and sat next to them with her plate of food.
Jacob had to do this but his mom want to yell in his face so Jacob took her once they got there Jacob stayed in the car while mom when out and Jacob called Dakota and once she answered he said " I am not going in to talk with him, mom wanted to yell at him so I took her "
Dakota hoped he would come back soon. Minutes later, Jacob came through the door. Dakota hugged him. "I thought you would get put in jail again." She went to get Zion and Arden. 2 years later. Dakota and Athena had their Olympic Trial Equestrian Event. Arden and Zion were almost 3 now! Arden came to Dakota. "Mom. Can I go ride Caspian?" "We're about to leave for a horse show! Do you want to come watch?" Dakota asked. "Um... Yeah! Is dad coming too?" "Yeah. I'm going to be in the show, and your dad is going to be with you and Zion watching." Dakota answered. "Ok." Arden ran to the car. Jacob was already in the car with Zion. Athena's trailer was hooked up. Dakota got in, and they drove to the arena.
Zion said " how many people are going to be there " Jacob said " a lot I think" Arden said " is grandma going to be there" Jacob said " we will see about that "
When they arrived at the arena, Dakota unloaded Athena. Arden sat on top of Athena while Dakota groomed her. Zion got out and stood in front of Athena. Dakota already had her riding uniform on. Athena was ready to win. "Ok guys. I have to go. Bye!" Dakota gave Arden and Zion a hug. She smiled at Jacob and waved to them. She led Athena to the arena.
Dakota was next. There were 12 people and she was the 11th to go. The announcer called. "Next up, Dakota Williams riding Athena!" Athena trotted into the arena. "Is that mom?" Arden asked Jacob. The buzzer started. Dakota turned Athena to the first jump and soared over it. The next 3 jumps were pretty easy. She cleared all the jumps and came to the last one. The highest Athena would ever go. 4.5 feet tall! Athena wanted to win. She couldn't let Dakota down. She galloped towards it and leaped over. She hit the ground perfectly!
