Once we landed in North Carolina and got our luggage we went and looked for my mother and Carter's mom. It took some time, so I called mom, Nash called Skylynn, Hayes called Johnny, and Carter called his mom. Once we all found out where they were we ran to them. My mom stood there smiling with Skylynn next to her. And I was smiling at what Skylynn was wearing.

She wore a pair of bright red Vans. A pair of distressed light wash high waisted jean shorts. Her hair was in 2 french braids then in pig tails. She had on some mascara. And then my most favorite part of her outfit, she wore a black crop top with the Magcon logo on it.

Skylynn looked up from her phone and when she saw me she ran to me smiling, nearly squealing.

"Oh B I have the best news ever! So Sadie, Claire, Trista, Elsa,  and Courtney are all coming to your show here in North Carolina. They all are here already so they are staying with their parents, along with their significant others. And they're coming to dinner at our house!" Skylynn squealed excitedly, and I squealed with her.

"Well lets get home so we can get the house ready, and mom am I staying with you or at Matthew and I's apartment?" I asked while we walked to my mom's suburban and Carter's mm's car, but she thankfully drove a 15 passenger van, while my mother had a trailer hooked up to hers. We the loaded up all the luggage.

"Alright everyone. So all my kids, sister and son inlaws, and grand children get first priority in my car. But that fills it all out, but we could take some smaller children and have them. So Cam why don't we take yours and Aaron's because yours is just a baby. Here Melody take Jayce. Then Matthew and Blake go and get Caroline and Bentley. And so that leaves Nash to take miss Eloise. Everyone else with Mrs. Reynolds." Mom said. I then went and picked up Caroline.

"Please take good care of him, he should sleep most of the ride and here is his diaper bag." Ivy explained to Melody. But Melody just nodded her head and took him and held him close before walking to the car. We all squished in. Melody, Holly, and I all sat in back. It was thankfully just a 15 minute ride home. And when we got there I saw all my friends waiting for me in the lawn with their significant others and children.

I pushed past Nash and Kylie and jumped out of the Suburban. I ran to them and we had one big group hug while squealing. We all eventually stepped back and looked at each other, since it had been a couple of years since we've seen each other.

"I feel so under dressed compared to you guys!" I said and we all chuckled.

"Well let us introduce our people to you!" Claire said while pulling me towards her husband. "So this is my husband Aiden." Claire said while holding on to his hand. He smiled.

"You must be the amazing Blake that Claire goes on and on about from her teenage years." Aiden said and we both chuckled. And I nodded. Sadie then pulled me over to her girlfriend.

"So as you know I came out when I was in college, and I met this wonderful gal here. And we are engaged. So this is Jade." Sadie said. Jade smiled and shook my hand. I was then pulled over to Trista.

"This is my gorgeous husband Nathan, and my little year old daughter. Her name is Ramona!" Trista said while taking Ramona from Nathan. I waved and smiled at Nathan before looking down at Ramona and holding her close. I then handed her back and was pulled over to Elsa who was standing by her tall boyfriend.

"Yes he is tall, no he does not play basket ball. But this is Ricky." Elsa said while she held him close, and he had his arm around her tiny waist. I was lastly pulled over to Courtney who was very patiently waiting with her husband.

"This is my husband Conner. He's a lawyer." Courtney said while she had her head leaned up against him. He chuckled and shook his head.

"Well I'm in college to be a lawyer, and Court no one cares if I'm a lawyer. That's like me going around telling people that you have a cat." Conner said. I chuckled at him, but agreed.

"Everyone this is my boyfriend Matthew Espinosa." I announced to them all. They all smiled. My mom then came and stood next to me.

"And since it is Hayes and Blake's birthday tomorrow I am going to go pick up some ice cream cakes with him, and so if anyone wants anything while I am out speak now or forever hold your piece!" Mom announced. No one said anything so my mom then left.
