*10 years later*
Tammy's POV
Emmy is now sixteen. It's the morning of her birthday.
"Emmy, I'm here" I yell as I enter the house with my husband Anderson and two sons Travis and Andy.
"Hey Tammy" she says while rubbing her eyes.
I can't believe she's sixteen. That was the same age I was when I met Grayson. My parents still live in the same house.
"Come on, lets go get you ready for your big party" I motion for her to follow me upstairs to my old room.
I haven't been inside my own room for a while now. I stare at the photos that were still hanging from when I was a teenager. My parents refuse to change my room into another guest room.
I sit her at my old make up vanity and start to do her make up and hair.
"I remember when you were sixteen Tammy. That's when you were seeing that boy named Grayson" she says as I comb her hair.
"Yeah, that was a long time ago" I hum as I spray heat protection in her hair.
"I have something to tell you" she mumbles.
I don't respond back letting her know to continue speaking.
"I'm dating his younger cousin, so I invited Grayson and Ethan to attend my party" she whispers.
I haven't seen him since the day on the front porch when I said goodbye to him ten years ago. He switched schools.
"That's fine. I don't know why you're so scared to tell me. It's all in the past" I tell her as I curl her hair.
"I know. I just didn't know how you would react" she whispers once again.
"But what's this about a boy? I didn't know you had a boyfriend" I raise my eyebrows at her even though she can't see me.
"We started dating 6 months ago" she replies.
"I really like him" she adds.
"I'm happy for you" I speak sincerely as I spray hairspray in her hair.

After I finish putting Emmy in her dress, we both walk down the stairs together. My parents are waiting for us at the bottom of the front door entrance.
"I can't believe you're sixteen now honey" my mom starts to cry.
"Next thing you know, you'll be married with kids like Tammy" my dad rubs his eye.
"I miss my baby girls" he embraces us in a hug.
We get in a family group hug but now with three additions of my two sons and husband.
"Hey babe, can you go put the boys in the car while I put on my shoes please" I ask him.
"Of course sweetheart" he kisses me before holding the boys hands and walking out the front door.

We enter the building where Emmy is having her sweet sixteen. She already made her grand entrance. I'm kind of jealous. I didn't have a sweet sixteen.
Anderson is watching the kids while I'm running around making sure everything is running smoothly for Emmy.
I make sure the food is being cooked and that the music is the playlist she wanted. I'm too busy running around that I bumped into someone.
I look up and see who it is.
"Hey Tammy" Grayson yells over the music.
I stand there in shock.
"It's been a while" I reply while placing a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Hey honey can you-" a woman about my age appears from behind him.
"Oh I'm sorry. I'm Eliza. I'm Grayson's wife" she holds her hand out for me to shake.
"Hi, I'm Tammy" I shake her hand.
"I'll see you back at the table" Eliza excuses herself.
"I see you have a wife. I'm happy for you" I tell him.
"Yeah, I heard you're married now too and have two kids" he smiles shyly.
"Yes. I'm married to a man named Anderson and have two boys. Travis is four and Andy is two" I smile while thinking about my mini family.
"That's nice" he smiles sincerely.
"I'm glad you found yourself someone who you won't hide. Take care Grayson" I look at him once more seeing the same sad face I saw ten years ago.
