Kate sat at her kitchen table, her laptop screen covered by family, she watched as Maisie held up a picture to camera.

"I drew this for you" she Beamed

Kate closed the mascara bottle, she smiled at the picture her niece had drawn.

"It's me and you at the park," the little girl explained

"It's amazing, I wish I had it with me" Kate frowned

"Daddy says we are gonna send it to you"

David shook his head "sweetie that was suppose to be a surprise"

"Sorry" Maisie apologized sadly

"It's okay Maisie moo, I hate surprises anyway" Kate reassured

Kate noticed her brothers wife appear in the background, she also happened to be Kates best friend, "is that my sister in law I see"

Molly walked over to the scream, picking up her daughter she propped her on her lap "hey, I miss you so Much" she confessed

"I miss you too, I miss our girl nights" Kate whined

The door opened and Buck walked in, coffee in his hand.

"I'm just on a call, come here" she motioned

Buck walked over, handing Kate a cup of coffee, he pulled up a seat beside Kate and gave a polite smile to the screen.

"This is buck, my roommate " she introduced

"It's nice to meet you all" Buck greeted "you feeling better Mrs Quinn?" He asked

"Please, call me Bridget" Kate's mom instead

"Who are you" the 4 year old chimed in

"I'm Buck, your aunties friend" he smiled, "you must be Maisie"

"I am" she nodded, "you wanna see my picture"

Before Buck could answer, the paper was already shoved against the screen.

"Wow, you are a real artist" Buck said, not really sure what to make of the picture.

Kates heart warmed as she watched Buck coo with her niece.

"I have to grab my charger, It was nice meeting you" Buck announced, waving a small goodbye.

"He's cute" molly teased,

"Will you be quiet" Kate hushed, lowering down the volume on her laptop

"You like him!" Molly shrieked
