"Ellabear!"

I turned my head so quickly that I almost got whiplashed. But it was worth it as I realized that it was Andrew Wilson who had called out as he and Monique, his wife, made their way towards me. I was sitting at my table with Oliver and Killian while we watched Audrey and Piper eat cake.

He had his arms out and I got up from my seat, pulling Monique into a hug, causing Andrew to bark our complaints on how he was the one who was first to be ready for a hug before I pulled back and gave him a hug as well.

"It's been so long," I said, taking a step back to look at them together. I haven't seen them since... well, the breakup. Even though we were all friends, Andrew and Oliver were the closest and I knew that even though Andrew and I were friends still, cracks were made in our friendship. I didn't know that they were coming to the wedding as Emily never mentioned it. I just assumed that they'd be busy travelling or something. "How are you guys?"

"Fantastic!" Monique replied, grinning brightly. I didn't notice that there was a young boy trailing them until I saw him step out between Andrew and Monique. "There's someone we want you to meet."

The moment our eyes met, I was in awe. He was like an exact replica of Andrew, with the black hair and half smile and all. If it wasn't for the boy's dark brown eyes- almost black, I would have assumed that it was a carbon copy of Andrew. He was so going to be a heartbreaker when he grows up.

"Wow, and who is this handsome fellow?" I asked, keeping my eyes on the boy.

"Daniel Wilson," he introduced, sticking a hand out for a shake.

I grinned, taking his hand in mine. "Ella Connors," I replied, biting back the giggle that threatened. He was so adorable. "He's going to be a heartbreaker," I told them when Daniel flashed me a bright smile.

"What can I say?" Andrew said with a shrug, "He gets it from me."

Monique rolled her eyes, hitting him lightly on the arm. "So, I heard that you caught yourself a doctor, Ella?" she asked, winking at me.

"Is that your subtle way of wanting to meet him?" I asked, chuckling.

"Yes!" she replied eagerly and Andrew just looked uncomfortable. "I need to see him. Em's been going on about how good looking this guy is." Andrew cleared his throat, raising a brow at Monique. "What? I know you're curious, too."

"We're just friends, you know," I told her with a laugh and lead them to the table.

"Mommy!" Audrey called out excitedly. When she noticed that there were others coming with me, Audrey stood straight and placed the brightest smile on her lips. She nudged Piper and whispered something in the little girl's ear. Piper turned her head towards us and slowly, even under the dim light of the hall, her face changed into a light shade of red.

Audrey looked at me excitedly, no doubt readying herself to meet Andrew, Monique and their son. So when I introduced them to Killian and Audrey, she was quick to make an impression on them.

"Hi, I'm Audrey," she introduced herself, getting up from her seat and giving Andrew and Monique a handshake, one that she and Oliver had been practising earlier, I was sure. When Andrew commented on her strong grip, she smiled bashfully and said, "Oliver helped me practise. He's good at handshakes."

I chuckled. Andrew's eyes met mine and for a brief moment, he looked at me questioningly before turning his attention back to Audrey.

"Hi, I'm Daniel Wilson," the little boy said as he took a step forward, offering his hand to Audrey.
