Later that year I not only got a second cousin, but also a baby brother! Sophie Grace Reynolds, the daughter of Richard and Gretchen, was born October 14th. Although her first name is Sophie (after me of course!) she goes by Grace because it would be confusing to have two Sophies in our family. Grace actually looks a lot like me, it makes Gretchen so mad. One night Gretchen said Grace should look more like a mix of her and Richard and not like a mini me. I laughed and told her maybe next time, only to be scowled at. My baby brother, Noah Riley Bennett, was born March 27th, and is the spitting image of our mom. Both of them are so funny and so cute... well when they don't have a poppy diaper or when they are crying and you can't figure out why, but that's a given. Grace and Noah became automatic best friends and playmates. Simon and I were named the God parents of both Grace and Noah a few years ago.

Lost of other things happened that year, especially in regards of Cupid's assistant. Obviously Simon and I ended up together. Mary, about a month after my big confession of my feelings for Simon, started dating Xavier. It was a big surprise for all of us but we were all happy for them. It also explained why Xavier was there to help all of us confront Tanner when I didn't text him about what we were doing. Alana and Jacob sadly broke up, but after a few awkward months they were able to be friends and we were able to keep the group together. Courtney also started dating Mason, the very same guy she wanted me to help her with form the beginning.

A year after, we were seniors and I realized that when I graduate there would be nobody to take my place as Cupid's assistant. I immediately thought of Quinn (Daniels little sister) who was going to be a freshman that year. I sought her out and she was ecstatic to learn about the ways of the heart. I taught her everything I knew and I believe I left Jackson High in good and capable hands. Of course sometimes she had to text me or call me while I was in college for some help, but she did great on her own for the most part.

When we all graduated, Carrie went to Brown university and James went to the University of Michigan, causing them to break up. Lizzie, Alana, Jacob, and Nathan went on to Texas A&M university, Mary and Xavier went to the University of Texas at Dallas, and Simon and I went to Baylor university. Some how even though of the distances, we all stayed just as close as we were in high school.

After college Simon became an orthopedic surgeon and I had got a double major in acting and psychology. I got a job with Broadway Across America, and got to play Glinda in Wicked. I loved acting and singing but when my contact with them was over I decided not to renew it. I missed my family, friends and Simon too much. I fell back on my psychology degree and realized once again how much I love helping people.

I've been living with Simon for about a year now. When I didn't continue my contract with Broadway Across America, Simon and I didn't see the point in getting two separate apartments so we found one together. It has two separate bed rooms, we may love each other a whole lot have live together, but we still stick to our morals. Plus my daddy wouldn't have let me live with Simon if it only had one bedroom.

I have been in my office all day anxiously waiting for tonight. Tonight the whole group was going to get together again. Our group try's to meet up about twice a year for a weekend. We rotate who's cities each time and today they were flying and driving in to meet Simon and I.

I was going home to get dressed when I got off work, then drive to the restaurant and meet up with Simon- who picked up Mary, Carrie and James from the airport earlier today- and the rest of the group.

I quickly run into Simon and I's apartment, wanting to get ready as fast as I can. I run to my room and all most fall backwards out of surprise, Gretchen, Grace, Hannah, and Noah were sitting on my bed.
