"Hi, Dad."

"Ah. My little girl. I missed you." He said as he hugged me.

"Me too, Dad. Me too." I replied as we hug each other.

"So, who is this with you?" He asked when we pulled away and looked at Kathy with a playful grin.

Kathy pouted and stomped her feet, "Grandpa. It's me, Kathy."

Smiling, I shook my head and asked him where's the others and leave them on their playful rant.

"Auden!" The blonde boy shout happily as he ran and hug me.

I laugh and hug back, "well, hello to you too, Niall." I look up and smiled when I saw the others.

Liam and Louis are busy looking at Liam's phone, Mum and Sophia are looking through some wedding magazines.

I pulled away and looked at him, "how are you? It's been a long time, though." He shrugged, but a smile on his face.

"Meh. Just fine, I guess." He said and I raised a brow at his statement, but ignored it and just nod. He'll probably tell us sometime. If there is something to tell.

I walked to where my Mum is and hugged her with a kiss on the cheek, "hey, Mum. How are you?"

"Oh. I'm fine, darling. You?" She said.

"Fine." I replied, and turned to my best friend who is looking stressed right now.

"Hey, Sophia." She looked up and her eyes light up when she saw me and jumped from the couch.

"Auden! Thank goodness, you're here! I'm getting all worked up from this wedding." She said, "It's going to be next week."

"Soph. It's okay. It's normal for a bride to be stressed before the wedding. So, take a chill pill. Okay?" I said, rolling my eyes. She did what I said, but without the pill, though and breathed in and out.

"Okay, okay. I should be fine. Fine. Just be fine. Oh my God, I can't! It feels like something is missing," she exclaimed, running her hands through her hair and slightly pulling them.

I looked at my mother and she just gave me a small smile, I looked back at my best friend and rolled my eyes. I stood up from the couch and walked to where my brother is.

I pinched his ear, moved it near my mouth and whispered, "you should be there with your wife. She needs you more than me, Lee." Then I let go of his ear.

He rubbed his ear and glared at me, I raised a brow, challenging him. We held our stares for a full thirty seconds, then he sighed.

"Okay," he said, gave the phone to Louis and walked to where his fiancé is.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Louis with a questioning look. He looked everywhere but me and hid the phone behind him.

I looked at him flatly and placed my hand out. He sighed, shoulders dropped and put the phone in my hand.

I stared at it with wide eyes, and looked between him and the small screen.

"What the-" he covered my mouth before I continue my yelling.

Lou and I looked at each other, a silent message passing between us, then we both nod at each other.

I glanced at my family who is still oblivious of what me and Lou been doing.

"What is that?" I whispered, he looked back at where Liam is and moved his face closer to me.

"Liam's buying a new ring for Soph," he whispered.
