REED- "Okay, love happens to all of us. But, that still doesn't mean that you can run off to the bluffs and stay out until 3am not letting anyone know where you are. You are only 16, Dax.
DAX- "I'm sorry Dad, I should have told you but if I did I knew you would say no."
REED- "So, who is the lucky person that you say you are falling in love with?"
DAX- "You don't know her, she lives in Oasis Springs. Her name is Alysia Burkett. We are going to Jr. Prom together. Dad?"
DAX- "We really love each other. Uh...we had sex last night."
REED- 'Well, you certainly are being honest. Okay, first of all I think you are too young to be having sex, but regardless, just tell me you took precautions."
DAX- "Precautions, you mean birth control?"
REED- "Exactly. Just remember one thing Dax. You only live once, and you have a whole life ahead of you. Enjoy this. Enjoy Alysia. All your dad and I want for you and Sloane is to be happy. So when you make decisions, like you made last night, think them through. You are bright and intelligent and if you think things through those decisions will be the right ones. Now, let's go to bed, son."
Dax sat there for a minute thinking about what his father just said. He knew he loved Alysia and she loved him, but now he was questioning what they chose to do. The happiness and excitement was still there, but the reality was he didn't make the right decision.
