                          10 YEARS LATER
                      I wake up to the sound of screaming.
It's the baby again.
Britt wakes up next to me,"Can you go check on him, honey?"
I groan and get out of bed.
Our baby is 4 years old. His name is Toby. Since Britt is blonde with blue eyes and light skin. And I'm dark-haired with hazel eyes and light skin, Toby is brown- haired with green eyes and light skin.
I go into his room and see him crying and screaming.
"Toby, what's wrong?!," I go up to him and cuddle him.
"I had a nightmare, Daddy," he whimpers.
"Nightmares are just nightmares," I hush,"No matter how real they feel, they're just nightmares."

In the morning, Britt cooks breakfast while I play with Toby.
I work as a best-selling author. Which means Britt can be a stay-at-home mom.
"Can you check the mail, please?!," Britt shouts from the kitchen.
I leave while Toby goes to help Britt cook.
I go outside and check the mail.
I take it inside and read it. It's an invitation:
"Dear Kevin and Britt Staar,
This is Natalie. Me and Austin are throwing a party so the gang can reunite after all these years! Kevin, Britt, Lily, Matthew, Rose: It's time to come back together again. I hope you'll come! :)"

That night, me and Britt hire a babysitter to stay the night with Toby while we stay the night at a hotel.
"Thanks again," Britt says to the babysitter.
"No problem!," the babysitter smiles.
Me and Britt are about to leave, but Britt runs back to hug and kiss Toby again.
"Honey," I scold.
She groans and comes back. We are about to leave, but she runs back to the babysitter.
"Remember, if anything goes wrong....," Britt panics.
"Honey! She's fine!," I say.
"Sorry," Britt says.
And we finally leave the house.
