A text box appears again and tells the audience that an hour goes by.

Corey was outside now, in the driveway. The camera was on his face, and he was still smiling. The camera then turns to show a silver Honda Accord driving in through the gates. He turns the camera back and forth: from the car to his face a few times; his smile grows wider with each turn.

"My baby's home!" He says once the camera does a final take on his face.  The man-bun haired man approaches the vehicle (with the camera on the car now) and goes to the backseat of the passenger's side. Through the window, there was a smiling toddlar looking up to the camera. Corey opens the door and says, "Hi, baby boy!"

Thomas turns his head to face his father and starts to babble. Corey places the camera on the roof of the car so he can be hands-free and takes his son out of his car seat. He pops back up, and bounces his son up and down as he starts talking to the toddlar.

"Did you have fun with Grandpa? Huh, did you?"

"We ended up near the (made up street name) and he loved the slide." Elton's father starts talking from out of frame.

"What?" Corey talks overzealous to his son, "you did? That's wonderful!"

Thomas just giggles at all the attention he's getting from his father, and starts kicking his feet in excitement.

"How mad is Elton?"

"Supper pissed." Phil can be heard laughing.

The next clip showed that Corey, without Thomas  in his arms, was now inside. And on the second floor, in front of his bedroom door - since in the background showed the staircase (and Phill with the toddlar in his arms) behind him.

Corey has his camera in one hand, and is facing him, while he used his other hand to knock on the door. "Babe-?"

He opens the door and peers into the room with the camera. Elton was had just turned the corner, his face was still pink.

"What Corey? I don't want to hear it." He pushes past his boyfriend, maybe now ex, and walks out of the bedroom. "I'm going down to the agency to see if I can get my son back."

"Wait, Elton."

"Hey Buddy, look who I picked up from this foster place. Isn't he cute?"

Corey rounds the corner and has the camera trained on Elton; who was now standing (like a deer in head-lights) in shock. Phil had moved to the cordidor where Sam and Colby's rooms where, while Corey walked into the master bedroom. And had just walked around the corner, with Thomas.

"Wait-what?"

"Yeah, say 'hi' to your new little brother, Elton."

From behind the camera, Corey starts laughing. Elton turns to face his boyfriend, who had doubled over with laughter.

"It's a prank!" Says Corey, wheezing the whole time. He straights up and repeats those words again.

Elton just walks over to his father and takes his son from his arms. He brings the child to his chest and just hugs him. Corey walks closer but Elton shakes his head, which causes the younger man to stop mid-step.

Elton then walks back to the master bedroom and shuts the door. The camera following his movements before going back to Corey.

"Uhh...that wasn't the reaction I was hoping for."

The video ends with another text box. It just tells the audience that the couple had talked and both agreed both of their pranks had been mean; and that they apologized to each other.
