The crackle of wood in the fireplace had startled her out of her mind. She had spaced off looking into the fire. As she drifted off, she hadn't realized her husband had walked off to answer the phone. She didn't really care who had been calling, she just wanted her son to hurry up and return. It had been too long since she had seen her little boy. The fire crackled again as she heard her husband shout with excitement.
"Ethan my boy!"
She immediately stood up and went to where her husband had been to answer the phone. She saw that he had walked into the office around the corner. He had sat down on his desk as he talked to his son. He looked happy to be talking to his little boy. She saw that she could see his smile reach up to his eyes just like they used to all those years ago. She smiled and walked further into the office. Vincent couldn't believe his oldest son had been the one to call. He never expected to hear from him again after what happened.
"Hey dad, how have you been? It's been so long."
Vincent wiped the tears he had on his cheek, he missed his little boy, he wished he could see him.
"I have been good son, how are you? Where are you? Are you ever going to come home? You are always welcomed here son, this is your home. Come home my boy."
Ethan laughed.
"That is why I am calling, mom and I had agreed for me to come home. I was calling her to see if you are her weren't busy so I can come over. I am in my hotelroom. I wasn't sure if I still had my room back at the mansion."
Vincent looked towards his wife and shook his head. He couldn't believe the surprise his wife and son had on him.
"Of course you still have your room here at the mansion. You will always have a room here, does not matter what happens. You are always welcomed here Ethan. Get your ass here as quick as possible, cancel your room and stay here in the mansion with your mother and I. Camden would of been here too but she had decided to move back with Nikolai. Conrad had moved out into the penthouse a while back but I think your mother is making them stay the night here for the weekend."
Ethan chuckled, of course his mother is forcing his siblings, he would of had as well. He then grabbed the rest of his things and walked out of the room. He had still been on the phone with his father. They talked about what they had been up to since the last time they had talked. Vincent asked him how his business was doing since he had just opened up a hotel and bar branch.
"Dad, I've got to go, I am making my way towards you guys right now. I will see you in a bit. Love you dad."
They said their goodbyes as Ethan placed his things in the car he had rented. He was anxious to get home, he wanted to see his siblings, to meet his nephew. To see his old friends again, would they hate him for packing up and leaving without saying anything? He shook those thoughts out of his head as he climbed into his rental and drove off to see his parents. As he drove home, his sister was just finished getting Michelangelo settled into the mansion. Her and Nikolai decided to just spend the rest of the day in. Her mother had called her earlier to remind her that they are gathering at their place tonight. She and Michelangelo will not be spending the night at the mansion until the next day. Camden's family hasn't had a sleepover in a while so it was nice that they were doing those again. Conrad will be bringing his fiance while Camden will be bringing Nik and Mickey. Stanley had packed an overnight bag for both Camden and Nikolai while Camden was packing the overnight bag for Mickey. He was very indecisive that day, didn't know what he wanted to wear for his pajamas or for the outfit he wanted to wear for the next day.
