Surprised Yet? (C.L. Stone, The Academy) #watty2016

OUTTAKES: Welcome Home

Gabe was making all of the boys crazy with the amount of times he had made them move the same table or reposition the banner. Luke pouted as he balanced on the ladder, Gabe found him in the chocolate fountain with the marshmallows. Good thing North wasn't here.
​

The crunch of gravel made everyone freeze for a second, before Gabe burst out, "NOOOOO, North told me he would take the long way and drive extra slow. That can't be them already."
​Luke used his vantage point to scope out the situation. He grinned but let Gabe's freak out last a little longer.
​

He ran around with his fingers curled around his hair, running in circles. It reminded him of an ant trying to get away from a magnifying glass. He laughed, giving away his amusement of the whole ordeal.
​

"Yeah, fucker, you sit up there and laugh. When Sang cries because the party wasn't ready in time I'll point at you and you can be in the doghouse until she forgives you."
​

That made Luke stop real fast and fess up, "but it's not even them, it's a group of old dogs with one bird with them."
​

"Damn, Owen must have found them," Kota blurted out into the silence.
​

"Found who?" Nathan inquired from Kota.
​

"The guy from the trolley that gave Sang that picture. But I didn't know he had a team like us." Kota answered.

"Who do you think gave the Andersons the idea?" One of the older gentlemen from the group shouted as he entered through the open front door.
​

"Sorry for him but he's always been a little loud," stated the bird that was partially hidden behind the group of males.
​

Luke laughed from his perch and muttered, "Who would have thought that more than one could exist?"
​

Kota stepped into his leader role, "Welcome. I assume Owen contacted you in regards to the photo one of you left with our bird?"
​

"Yeah, that would be me. I'm getting forgetful in my old age. I'm Leroy," one of the older gentlemen stepped forward. He had a sparkle in his eyes, the same as the boys had seen in Doc's eyes.
​

"I'm glad you were able to get in touch with us. I had high hopes for you and your bird." His smile betrayed his intentions just a bit. The gleam in his eyes spoke only of good intentions.
​

"What's the party for?" another one of the gentlemen asked.
​

"Our bird and four babies are finally ready to come home." Luke supplied as he slid down the sides of the ladder.
​

"Speaking of...." Nathan trailed off as the sound of a much heavier vehicle traveled down the gravel driveway, followed shortly by the opening and closing of four doors.
​

Gabe's eyes went wide, "Hide everyone!"

​As they moved around, a third gentlemen asked, "Is he always like this?"
​

A soft feminine voice answered, making them all stop, "Only every fourth Thursday and every other second Tuesday, but especially every special occasion."
​

"Trouble causing trouble again! Welcome Home!"

The rest of her guys beamedat her, with their arms open wide, just waiting for their turn for hugs.

Sang's POV

​No place was better than home and right now home was wherever all my boys andbabies were.
