Ava and Peter enter their house with their new 3 year old son Malcolm.

"Malcolm" Ava said. "This is where your going to grow up. We're going to be a family."

 "Yeah we are" Peter smiled. "We're going to be the best family ever."


Alex and Brandon wake up next to each other.

"Dude Callie scared me last night" Brandon said. "Like I don't think she's okay with us."

"I know she's not" Alex said. "She doesn't like the fact that you and me are together. But at least Lena and Stef are okay with it."

"I'm glad they are" Brandon smiled. "And I'm glad my Dad is okay with it too."

Alex kissed Brandon.

"I love you" Alex said.

"I love you too" Brandon smiled. "More than anything."

They kiss.

"So do you have any plans for tonight?" Brandon asked.

"My Mom wants us over for dinner" Alex said. "She's making this big meal for Glen and wants us there. Can you go?"

"Anything for you" Brandon smiled. "Besides your mom loves me."

"Yeah she thinks your good for me" Alex said. "And I happen to agree."

"Before we go" Brandon said. "I got you something. You can totally say no but..." Brandon reaches in his drawer and pulls out a ring and hands it to Alex. "Here."

Alex looked up at Brandon.

"Brandon this is an engagement ring" Alex said slowly.

"Yeah" Brandon said. "I had this dream the other night. You and me married living in our house with a baby. You the photographer and me the amazing composer. It was the best dream ever. And I want that dream to come true. So what do you say?"

"I say.." Alex said. He then smiled at Brandon. "... yes."

Alex then passionately kissed Brandon.


At school, Jamie stands at his locker and Chad walks to him.

"So I told my parents about us" Chad said. "it kinda slipped out."

"How did it go?" Jamie asked worried.

"Not good" Chad said. "My Mom won't even look me in the eye. My Dad he talks to me but only about sports. And my grades."

"I'm sorry" Jamie said.

"Your not the one who told them" Chad said. "I mean I can't help but feel like I made a mistake."

Jamie nodded.

"A mistake telling them or a mistake dating me?" Jamie asked. Chad didn't reply. "Do you regret getting with me?"

"I don't know" Chad replied. "I just think I need some space for right now. So could we go on a break?"

"So your breaking up with me?" Jamie asked.

"No" Chad said. "I just.."

"it sure sounds like you are" Jamie said sadly.

"I'm just trying to figure this out" Chad said. "I just think if I got some space it might help."

"Sure we can have space" Jamie said. "Let me make this easy for you, Chad. It's over. Happy?"

Jamie rolled his eyes and stormed off.


That night, Alex and Brandon eat with Victoria and Glen.

"I'm glad you both could come" Victoria said.

"Us too" Brandon said happily.

Victoria picked up the plates. Alex followed her into the kitchen.

"So what's with you two?" Victoria asked. "You two are acting like it's the best meal you've ever had. I know my food is good but your both oddly happy.."

Alex pulled the ring from his pocket.

"Brandon proposed" Alex said. "And I said yes."

"Are you sure you're ready?" Victoria asked. "I mean you were engaged to Tyler a few months back and that turned out bad."

"I know" Alex said. "But Brandon and me are in love and this time I feel like nothing can go wrong."

Victoria nodded.

"if your sure then I'm okay with it" Victoria said. "I like Brandon he's a sweet boy."

"Thanks, Mom."


Ava sat on the couch and Peter joined her.

"Well he's asleep" Peter said.

"I'm so proud" Ava said. "You and me were finally parents. We're finally parents."

Peter put his arm around her.

"It was a tough road but we finally got a son" Peter said. "Your happy with a boy?"

"Yeah" Ava said. "I'm just glad we have a healthy baby. A healthy baby that is ours."

"I'm happy too" Peter smiled. "You and me really deserve this. We really do."

They kiss.


The next day, Alex entered and hugged on Brandon.

"So I told my family" Brandon said. "They all seemed excited except Callie for obvious reasons."

Alex nodded. Alex wrapped his arms around Brandon.

"Thank you" Alex said. "I can't wait to marry you."

"Just wait till the wedding night" Brandon winked.

They kissed.

"I love you."

"I love you too."


At the high school, Jamie stands at his locker. Ashley, Ashlyn,  Mitch and Kenneth join him.

"Were totally sorry" Ashley said.

"Totally" Ashlyn said.

"We just heard" Mitch said. "I'm so sorry."

"Yeah" Kenneth said. "I so can't believe Chad could do that to you."

"It's okay" Jamie said. "It's just a break up. We'll get back together."

The four exchanged looks.

"No we meant that" Mitch said pointing.

Jamie looked in the direction he pointed and seen Chad making out with Sasha the mean cheerleader type of girl. 

Jamie stared at the scene heartbroken. He rushed up to Chad and Sasha.

"So what's this?"

"Oh what do you want freak?" Sasha snapped. "Chad realized he only likes girls. Right babe?"

"Yeah" Chad said. "Go away freak. Did you actually think I could love someone like you?"

Sasha laughed and walked off with Chad. Jamie felt like breaking down.

Ashley and Ashlyn walked to him.

"That totally was mean" Ashley said. "Are you okay?"

"No I'm not" Jamie said. "I feel stupid.."

Jamie stared at Chad. He didn't know if anything was real anymore.
