(Okay but first, can we please talk about how good Michael looks as an old lady?
Sorry... continue on.

Oh yeah, also probably listen to Home -Blue October)

{Alanis}

I sit on the tailgate next to Michael. It's a beautiful summer night. I watch as our baby girl roasts her marshmallow above the campfire, she's 7.

"Jacky, don't get too close to the fire please. We don't want you bursting into flames." Michael says pulling her back.
"That wood be so coow!"
"Yeah and so would be flying without a plane but we don't try it."

He picks her up and sets her on his lap. She sticks her tongue out at him and I giggle. They're so adorable.

"Awee come on Michael, you're no fun!" Ashton says as he puts his 5 year old son, David's marshmallow between two graham crackers.
"See! Uncwe Ash thinks it's okay."
"We are not going to burst into flames, okay?" I speak up.
"Fine." She pouts and we laugh at her.

Leah comes up from the front of Ashton's truck and sits next to him. They kiss and both kids snarl their noses.

"How tum Untle Talum and Aunty Zay touldn't be here?" David says. He can't say his C's and it's so adorable.
"They had a doctors appointment. You guys might be having a new baby cousin soon."
"Reawy!? I hope it's a girw, we need another girw around here!" Jacky whines to herself as she continues on with her s'more.

"Aunty Kimi might be coming soon!" I say getting a text saying she's on her way.
"What about Untle Tance?"
"You know Uncle Chance won't be back for at least another month, babes."
"Otay. I know." David sighs. Poor kid. They're close and I know he misses him.

We sit in silence and Michael and Ashton sip on their beers as me and Leah try to work Ashton's radio so we can play our phones music with it. It's so high-tech and new. It confuses me.

We click buttons and turn knobs and finally connect it.

"Ooh play the boys most recent album!"
"Okay! Maybe this will encourage them to write more." We laugh and hop back out.

We scream at the top of our lungs to the song. Feels just like we're kids again. I love feeling like this. It's not often we do.

Usually the boys are at an interview or performing or touring and so we don't always have time to hang out with just us.

"Hey! Me and David want to pway a game! Can we?"
"Sure baby girl. Let's just wait for Aunt—"
"BOO!"

I jump practically 3 feet in the air once I hear someone scream in my ear. My heart beats at 300 miles an hour when I finally realize it was Kimora.

They all laugh hysterically at me as I'm also dead from shock.
"Dammit Kim!"
"Oooooh! You said a bad word!" the kids say almost simultaneously.
"Yeah, you naughty girl." Michael says pulling me closer and my face flushes. He kisses my lips long but softly.
"Ewww!" Every Person there says and we giggle and pull away.
"So let's play a game!" I say and the kids cheer.

I sit between Michael and Jacky and on the other side of her is Kimora and we continue on in a circle. I look around before we start and just stare at what we've all become since high school where we all came together.

Kimora is now an ASL Interpreter for deaf/hard of hearing kids and recently got married to Chance who is in the Air Force.

Zayleah's going to college to get a degree in art while she may or may not be pregnant with her celebrity husband, Calum Hood. We will know sooner if she is.

Leah is the social media director for her husband, Ashton Irwin's band that which is one of the most popular punk rock band today. They're also raising a kid together who is turning out to be a fine young man.

And me. I am going to college to get my masters degree in psychology and hope to one day become a therapist and help people through depression and their problems. I'm also married to the most amazing, successful man I have ever met in my life. The one and only Michael Clifford. I may have gotten pregnant with our baby girl pretty soon after high school, but I never ever regret it. Him and our beautiful daughter, Jacky, are exactly what my world revolves around. The two loves of my life. It's us against the world, that's what Michael always tells Jacky anyway.

I'm just so happy we all made it to this point.

"Mommaaa!" Jacky whines breaking me out of my thoughts and I look down at her.
"Yes?"
"Wets pway aweady!"
"Okay im sorry" I pinch her nose. "What are we playing?"
"Telephone!!" The kids and Ashton all say at the same time.

Me and Michael laugh because Ashton is still like a little man child.

"Okay, telephone it is. Does everyone know how to play?" Michael asks gesturing to all of us here.
"I do."
"Yep."
"YEAH!"

We get all of the answers back from everyone and they all agree that they know.

"Okay, let's start wiiiiith—" Michael sits in the position of Winnie the Pooh when he is thinking and I laugh at his dorkyness.
"Ooh me me pick me!" Ashton yells.
"Okay Ashton you can start." I say in a baby type voice.
"Yaay! Okay let me think first.—ummm. Got it!"

He bends over and whispers something into Davids ear and he does his adorable little giggle. David whispers into Leah's ear and the train continues sending laughter to all of these beautiful people that I love so much and have come so far with.
