A Week Later

At Sonny and Carly's House

"So, how does it feel to be a high school graduate?" Carly asked Josslyn as she smiled at her proudly. "Well, honestly... It feels pretty great." Joss said happily as she smiled back at her mother. "And it should. We're all so proud of you Joss." Emily said, smiling at her little sister. "Oh I know that. I mean, I was the one student who got the loudest cheers when I walked on the stage to accept my diploma." Joss said and everyone laughed softly. "Like Em said, we're all very proud of you." Spencer said. "And I appreciate it so much. But I was especially surprised that you were almost cheering the loudest Uncle Jason, next to Toby of course." Joss said as she laughed softly.

"Yeah, and you know that Jason doesn't cheer very often." Sam said as she smiled softly at her husband. "That's because I'm very proud of you, and happy for you." Jason said, smiling softly at Joss. "Thanks Uncle Jason, it means a lot to me that you were there." Joss said. "I'm glad that I was there." Jason said. "Like Em and Spence said, we're all very proud of you." Sam said as she smiled softly at her. "Thank you all, and I'm really glad that you're all here." Joss said as she smiled at everyone. "There's nowhere else we'd rather be." Bobbie said as she smiled proudly at her granddaughter. "She's not wrong." Sonny said. "Again, I'm really glad that you're all here." Joss said.

"I'm just going to say this again, I'm so proud of you." Spencer said as she smiled at Joss. "Thanks Spence." Joss said, smiling back at her. "I'm so proud of you, too. Congratulations Joss." Toby said before giving her a hug and she smiled as she happily hugged him back, Spencer smiled as she watched them. "I'm glad that you two could make it, and of course Marion." Joss said and Spencer laughed. "Trust me, she's glad to be here too." She said, smiling at her. "Just like we are." Toby said. "I'm lucky to have you guys." Joss said. "The feeling is mutual." Spencer said happily. "She's not wrong." Toby said and Joss smiled softly at him.

"So I know that Aria is at Cameron's graduation party, are you going to be stopping by there yourself later?" Spencer asked curiously. "I'm not sure yet. I told Cam that I might stop by, but he knows that I'm busy with my own celebration today." Joss said and Spencer nodded. "That's totally understandable. And I'm sure that he understood it, too." She said and Joss nodded. "He did. Now switching subjects, I meant to ask you both, how was your 3rd Wedding Anniversary?" She said and Spencer couldn't help but smile. "It was perfect." She said, smiling softly at Toby. "Yes it was. It was exactly what we needed." He said before kissing his wife's cheek gently. "I'm glad to hear that." Joss said as she smiled softly at them.

"I can't believe that you're already a high school graduate. I mean, it feels like I was just holding you at your christening yesterday." Lulu said and Joss laughed. "I'm really glad that you're here, you know how much I love you. I mean, you're my cousin and my godmother." She said, smiling at her. "I love you too." Lulu said as she gave her a hug. "I wish Dante could've made it too." Joss said and Lulu nodded. "Me too. But he sends his love and congratulations." She said and Joss nodded. "I'm surprised that the PCPD made him work on a Saturday." She said. "Yeah, I mean of course I miss him, but I know that he has a job to do. He'll be home this evening." Lulu said and Joss nodded. "Yes he will." She said, smiling softly at her.

"She missed you." Emily said as she smiled softly at Toby who was holding Donna in his arms. "I missed her. She's gotten so big." Toby said and Donna smiled softly at him. "You're telling me, and I see her everyday." Emily said and Spencer and Toby laughed softly. "Oh we know what you mean. It's like we blinked and now Marion's two." Spencer said. "For real though. She's growing up so fast." Toby said. "I mean I know that I literally just stopped by the other day, but it already feels like I haven't seen her in a year." Emily said and Spencer laughed softly. "Well we wish we could've brought her with us, but she probably wouldn't have wanted to sit still for very long during the graduation ceremony." Toby said and Emily nodded in understanding. "Of course." She said. "I'm sure that she's having a great time with Serena, as usual." Spencer said. "I'm sure that they're having a great time." Toby said.
