Today is probably the best day ever. Today was my parents nineteenth anniversary. Scott was coming over with Melissa to celebrate with us and that brought a smile to my face.

"Allison," my mom asked sweetly as she walked into the living room. "How soon will Melissa and Scott be here?"

"They'll be here in five. Scott texted me."

Lydia walks over. "I promise I'll be out of the house before they get here."

Kate then says "You going to see Stiles?"

"No, he and his dad are having a bonding day. I'm going to the library."

Mom shakes her head. "Absolutely not. School just ended and I don't want you finishing all that summer work in one day all alone. You'll stay and celebrate with us."

"Thank you for the offer but I'll be fine."

Mom puts her hands on her hips. "I wasn't offering, I was telling you that you're staying. Do I make myself clear?"

Lydia gulps and says "Yes Mrs. Argent."

"Please, call me Victoria. You're practically family."

The doorbell rings and my dad lets Scott and Melissa in. Scott kisses me quickly and Melissa hugs me tightly.

"Melissa, why don't you come join me in the kitchen. We can talk as I cook."

"Nonsense. I insist on helping."

After dinner, Scott and I were cuddling on the couch as we all watched their wedding video. Half way through the video, I started sneezing. 

"You getting a cold," Lydia asked. 

"It's just the dust making me sneeze. I'm fine."

Scott shifts to look at me better. "Are you sure that you're ok?"

"Yeah. I'm completely fine."

Well, it turns out that I wasn't. The next morning, I was sneezing every few seconds. I had two tissue boxes on my bedside table and the two already empty tissue boxes on the floor.

"I know something that'll make you feel better," Lydia said. 

Scott and Stiles walk in with Lydia. Stiles had a pile of Disney movies, Scott had a bowl of chicken soup, and Lydia had cold medicine. 

"Hey beautiful," Scott said as he sides beside me. "I made you chicken soup."

"Thats an understatement," Stiles said. "He made you enough soup for the week."

Lydia then says "At least he made her something she actually likes."

"I thought you'd like pizza with anchovy, onions, and garlic."

Scott and I make a disgusted face. He shrugs and holds a spoonful of soup out to me. I laugh before eating it. After two more spoons, I took over feeding myself. We all started watching the Disney movies, starting with my favorite Beauty and the Beast. 

Lydia then says "Can we watch the Little Mermaid next?"

"Absolutely," I said as I was curled into Scott's side.
