      We arrive home, greeted by none other than the Moore's family. Benjamin, Ally, and their daughter Leah.

  Not long after Benjamin and Ally found each other, my best friend ended up pregnant with Leah. She was born, and then the two of them married. I'm so extremely happy for my best friend and her little family.

Their smiles make one light up on my face. I'm tired, worn down, and all I want to do is crawl into my own bed and sleep the rest of the day away. Flying is so energy draining, especially with the security one must go through.

"Ray!" Leah's voice shouts my name the best to her abilities. Her bright brown eyes, matching her mothers, light up and she smiles widely in Ally's arms. The little girl reaches out and I take her into my arms and giggle.

"Goodness Leah! You've gotten so big!" I point out. She has grown so much since I saw her only weeks ago. Her hair- that's pulled into a little bun- bounces as she nods her head back and forth.

"Oh! Gosh! Is that Minnie Mouse on your shirt?" I grin. Leah looks down at her shirt in confusion, and then looks back up at me with a mischievous grin.

"That's my favorite!" I grin, tickling the little girl who looks so much like her dad. She turns into a fit of laughter in my arms before I finally set her back on her feet and watch her scramble away.

   I turn to the sound of the car trunk being slammed shut. Calvin holds several bags, and even has my makeup bag over his shoulder.

"Here, let me get something-" I offer, but Cal cuts me off before I can even reach for anything.

"No, baby. It's fine. You just go relax, okay?" He kisses my forehead and I nod is defeat, doing the only thing I can do and open the front door for him to get through.

"You've got him so whipped." Ally says with a giggle. I roll my eyes and look at my best friend with a fake surprised expression on my face.

"Hey, don't act you Ben isn't whipped either." I wiggle my eyebrows. Ally's cheeks go red with embarrassment. Oh, how the tables have turned. She used to always be the one embarrassing me.

Calvin has rubbed off on me, to say the least. Something about making someone embarrassed is amusing, to an extent. She pulls her lip between her teeth and shrugs her shoulders.

"Ah, so?" Ally wiggles her eyebrows at me. She casually takes a seat on the porch swing and I take a seat in another chair to face her.

"What?" I wonder, completely confused. What could this woman possibly be thinking about? She's crazy!

"You know, what." Ally says lowly. I furrow my eyebrows, trying my best to figure out what she's talking about.
