"Hey!" I greeted as I walked into my moms house, swiping to fix my hair from the summer breeze. "Angel!" Aunt Stacy exclaims before running over and hugging me. "Aunt Stacy!" I exclaimed as I hugged her back. "I missed you!" She says as we pull away.

"Where's Uncle Tom?" I asked. "He's upstairs with the baby." She replies as she leads me to the couch. There were toys strung everywhere. She sits me down before going over to the mantle to get a photo of Josh and I at prom. I smiled at the memory as she sat down beside me with it in her hand.

"I did some snooping, sorry. You have some good taste!" She exclaims as I looked at the picture lovingly. "Yeah, I really do." I chuckled as she puts the picture back where it was.

"Is that a wedding ring?" She exclaims as she turns around and somehow gets a glimpse of it.

"Yeah! Josh and I got married a few months ago." I chuckled as I pulled up some photos of us on the day we got married. She sat down next to me as I went through all our photos together.

"Oh, now he has some fashion sense!" She chuckles as I showed her the photos. "Wait, I have a video of him dancing in a street when a homeless man booed at his dancing skills." I loudly laughed at the memory as my mom joined us. "I have to see this." She chuckled as she joined us behind the couch and leaned down to watch it.

They watched the curly haired boy dance across the crosswalk while laughing. "He's so wild." Mom chuckles before going to the kitchen for a snack.

"It's crazy being in the same house again." Aunt Stacy tells my mom. They were always close as kids, and that relationship carried into their older years. They talk over the phone at least once a week.

"Oh, by the way! Josh's mom is bringing his dad as a plus one." I told my mom. "I thought they were divorced?" My mom questioned. "Long story. I'll let him tell you." I giggled.

A few moments later, Uncle Tommy came downstairs. "Uncle Tommy!" I cheered as I got up to greet him and the baby. She was adorable!

"Angel!" He cheers before hugging me as best as he could. "This is Grace." He introduces me to the baby as she waves at me. "She's adorable!" I smiled at her as I waved back. "Want to hold her? She just had a bath." He asks. Nodding, I gently took the small baby from his hands. "How old is she?" I asked. "She's almost 2." He replies. "Okay, this is my new best friend." I chuckle as she lays her head on my shoulder, nuzzling into my neck.

"You and Josh should have kids." Aunt Stacy blurts out. "After senior year, Aunt Stacy." I giggled as Grace plays with my necklace Josh got me a few months ago. "That's the plan?" My mom asked as Mason jumps off the last step.

"That's the plan." I agreed as I walked around with the baby in my arms. She giggled as we passed Jace, who was following Mason. "I know, he's funny looking." I teased him. He sent a playful glare my way.

"Nice to see you too, Angel." He chuckles. "Hey, Angel." Mason greets as he side hugs me. "Hey, loser." I said as Grace babbled in my arms.

"Yeah, Angel's always loved kids." I rejoined my moms conversation as Mason and Jace grabbed their skateboards. "We're heading to the skatepark!" They both exclaimed. "Okay! Don't hurt yourselves too much!" My mom called after them as she sat on the couch. Grace starts getting fussy, so I hand her my keys to keep her occupied. She giggled as she plays with them. "You know, if you ever want to have a night without her, Angel can take her to her new apartment." My mom suggests for me.

"I don't have baby stuff over there though, I mean we just moved my stuff in today. Josh still has to pack. I would though." I agreed as I heard my car unlock from outside. "Okay, that's enough of that." I chuckled before gently taking the keys from her and locking my car again.

"You can always borrow our things. We don't mind letting you use them so you don't go broke." Uncle Tommy chuckles. "I don't know, I'll ask Josh later. What day would you want?" I asked. "Wednesday?" They suggest. Josh and I planned on going to the store Wednesday, but we could take Grace along.

"Josh and I are getting some stuff for the apartment, is it okay if we take her out?" I asked. "Yeah! I trust you!" Aunt Stacy exclaims. Nodding, I continued to play with Grace.

"Babe! I'm home!" I called through the house. I heard soft singing coming from one of the rooms, so I went to investigate. Josh sounded beautiful the closer to him I got.

"Walk through fire for you, just let me adore you!" Joshua sang one of my favorite songs. I approached the room he had claimed as his music room and stood against the doorway. His back was facing me as he played the keyboard. He continued to sing as I stood there. Josh hit that last note, and then relaxed his arms before sighing. "You sounded amazing." I complimented him as I neared. "How long were you there?" He asks as I sat down next to him.

"Just got home. It looks like you got a lot done." I smiled as I leaned my head on his. "Surprisingly." He chuckled as he intertwined our fingers.

"Hey, my aunt and uncle want a night to themselves Wednesday. They asked if we can watch their daughter, and I told them I would talk to you about it first." I told him as I brought my free hand to his bicep. "Sounds good. Oh, your mom sent some cute cute photos of you and the baby." He smiles before grabbing his phone out of his hoodie pocket. He pulls up the photos up of me and Grace.

"Well, I'm going to head to bed. Grace tired me out from all the running we did." I chuckled as I stood up. "I'll join you." He says before getting up and following me to our room. The two of us changed into pajamas before crawling into bed. Josh scooted down and cuddled his head into my neck while wrapping his arms around my waist. Adjusting, I ran my fingers through his hair before attempting to fall asleep myself.
