"Happy Birthday dear Sagey, Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang huddled around Sage and the huge cake Allie and Kylie had made her. Electra was sitting next to Sage smiling crazily, my two favourite girls. The doorbell rung and Sage looked up at me for permission. "Go answer it then!" I laughed at her puppy dog eyed face. She just about ran to the door. I heard a commotion and walked through the halls to the door. I did a double take. "ANNE!" I heard Electra scream from behind me and run to her sister. "Ricky!" I was so happy the two were back. They had been travelling for the last three years. Ricky couldn't keep the smile off of his face and he looked like he was about to cry. "I can't believe you're back Uncle Rick!" Sage just about screamed. "He insisted he couldn't miss his goddaughters eighteenth!" Anne laughed. I enveloped her in a hug and she sighed. "He's missed you all so much, Chris." Anne whispered. I nodded, she and I would talk later. As everyone reunited Miles and I cut the cake and served it around. "Hey we stopped at our house on the way here of course and I grabbed something for you." Ricky had said to Sage. "I couldn't not get you a birthday present but obviously travelling I got you a few things but I wanted to show you something I found on my computer while I was traveling from a very long time ago." Ricky smiled, a look came into his eyes and I knew what it meant. "It was a few things so I made them a little DVD." Ricky smiled, as everyone ate Ricky got it ready and had pressed play.

Blaze's face popped up on the screen and instantly the TV had Sage's complete attention.

"Riiiickkkkyyy!" Blaze moaned at the camera. "But you are simply glowing!" Ricky's voice sounded from behind the camera. Blaze groaned. "You -Olson- are so cheesy!" Blaze laughed. The camera panned down to her stomach. "You're 7 months. What do you have to say to your soon to be child?" Ricky laughed from behind the character. Blaze looked directly at the camera. "Your butt is pushing on my bladder and I need to pee." Blaze laughed pushing the camera away. The DVD cut to another recording. "-Wait out the- Holy shit!" Blaze jumped in the air. Ricky's laugh sounded from behind the camera. "Richard!" She scolded. "Here we see an 8 month pregnant female in her natural habitat." Ricky had put on a narrators voice and Blaze cracked a little bit of a smiled before frowning at the camera. "Why are you recording me again, anyways, I need your help." Blaze looked embarrassed. Ricky set the camera down on the dresser and helped Blaze remove her shoes, which she was far too pregnant to do herself. The recording cut to another recording one I didn't know existed "I SWEAR TO GOD IF ONE OF THEM DONT ANSWER THEIR PHONE SOON IM- IM... UGGGH!" I Ryan yelled pulling at his hair. "I know the feeling." Ange mumbled, he looked like he was on the breach of a panic attack, biting his fingers, knees hugged up to his chest and slightly rocking back and forth. Next came Ghost and Josh, from the "kitchen" area. "Josh I've been neglecting her so much with this whole Kylie thing, I didn't even realise it till now, how I wish I had talked to her more over the last few weeks and I can't..." He nearly sobbed. Last but not least I came barging out of the bathroom on the bus, I'd just thrown up. "She still isn't answering." I heard Ricky, I looked over in the general area of where Ricky and him recording, which I didn't know of at the time and never looking directly in the camera, he must of had it well hidden. "I can't believe I blew up like that Rick AND she saw me do it... I-I-I need to fly home. We aren't that long away I mean we've nearly made the loop back to Scranton. I-I'm booking a plane ticket." I said pulling out my phone, it felt like yesterday. The DVD again cut another recording and an unrecognisable noise came out of my mouth and the tears I held back fell. A recording of Blaze and I started. "Hey, hey, hey, look at me." I said, pulling Blaze's face to look up at me. "Why are you crying?" I had asked smiling slightly. "I-I-" Blaze buried her head back into my shoulder. "No, no, no, please don't cry." I had hushed. "I miss you." Blaze buried her head into my neck. "You're here now, with me." She pulled back, I remember thinking even when she cried she was still beautiful. Blaze kissed me and you could actually see my whole body relax. She ran her small hand through my hair. "It feels like forever since I've seen you let alone that." I had said smiling crazy and pecked her lips. "Fuck you." Blaze said. I remember being so confused. "I'm so attached to you. I'm sorry for bothering you, I'm sorry for doing this and I'm sorry for not being okay. I just need time and space but I need you more and I'm tired all the goddamn time and I just want to wake up and breathe and smile and be happy and you do that for me. I want to feel your skin on mine and our hands intertwined I could lay with you forever but I know you'd get bored-" I leant down, cutting her off and kissing her, hard.
