COREY'S POV

     This year has been fucking amazing, Stone Sour released their self-titled album Stone Sour and I'm about to become a father at any moment. Scarlett and I have moved out of Adam's house and into a new one in hopes that this will last, Scarlett and I had some previous issues. The main thing that is making 2002 a buzzkill was the fact that Adam became an asshole and kicked Ashley, Gina and Elijah out of his house before he sold it. Adam and Charlotte have moved away to Los Angeles in hopes to find great jobs. Thank goodness for now until Annaliese wants to get married, then Adam will be back. I finished unpacking the last of my clothes and placing them into the walk-in closet.

"COREY!" screamed Scarlett.

"YES?" I yelled back.

"IT'S TIME!" she yelled up the stairs making me drop stuff.

ASHLEY'S POV

     Since moving out of Adam's house, Gina and Elijah now have a in the country just as I have a there as well [*the layouts are different*]. It was noon and time for me to head to work. I finished dressing in diner outfit then headed out the door and onward to my work. At last, half an hour later, I'm at work and taking orders.

"Hello, I'm Ashley and I'll be your waitress today. What can I get you?" I asked with a bright smile on this sunny day

"I'll have a coke with little ice and a cheeseburger with a substitute of mayonnaise instead of ketchup and mustard. Also, some fries, thank you." the older gentleman said.

"Would you like pickles and onions?" I asked nicely.

"Ah yes, thank you for reminding me young lady." he said smiling.

"No problem and I'll be back soon!" I said with a smile.

     I place the order on the rack and poured some coca-cola in a cup with little ice, then I took it over to the gentleman with a napkin under it.

"Here you go sir, you'll food should be out soon." I said smiling and walking away.

"Order up!" Jeff said from the back, I walked over and it was the older mans food, I walked back to the man.

"Here you go sir. It's hot so watch out. And here's some ketchup, if you want, for your fries." I said walking to drink some of my water from the bottle I brought.

     I heard the bell ring and looked at a half-sweaty Corey standing there lost. What the fuck?

"What're you doing here CT?" a nickname I love.

"Scarlett... In... Labor..." he said between breaths.

"Oh my goodness, are you kidding me?" I asked in front of everyone.

"Would I be half-sweaty and out of breathe if I was kidding that my fiancee was in labor!" Corey said taking my water.

"I just got here." I said sternly.

"Then you will have to deal with an in-labor Scarlett Stone since she specifically asked for Ashley Miller." Corey said now being able to breathe.

"Go." Martha said.

"What?" I asked.

"Go. Go to your friend Scarlett. Don't worry, we're actually a bit overstaffed today." Martha spoke again.

"Okay. Come on bum butt." I said making Martha laugh.

"You'll follow me?" he asked.

"Yes, now lets go." I said smiling.
