Chapter 59- Peyton POV- Epilogue P2

As we all sat down to dinner, Josh and Hadley burst through the doors with Clayton in Hadley's arms. 

"Josh!" I exclaimed, racing over to him.

"Oh my gosh, baby sis. It's so good to see you!" Josh said, embracing me in a tight hug. Everyone stood up to greet them.

"Hi, Hadley! How are you doing?" I asked her.

"Good, thanks! How about you?" she asked me.

"Great! Hi, baby!" I peeped, playing with Clayton.

"Do you want to hold him?" Hadley offered.

"Yeah for sure!" I replied, taking my nephew into my arms. Everyone else was saying hello to Josh and Hadley when Greyson walked over to me, playing with Clayton.

"Peek a boo! I see you!" he exclaimed, emerging from his hands and Clayton laughed.

"Greyson, this could be us someday," I said laughing.

"Oh my gosh, that's weird to think about," he chuckled. Josh and Hadley set up Clayton's high chair and sat down to dinner with us. We all talked and caught up, which was incredible. I had missed Josh so much since he had been living the southern part of Wisconsin recently. 

As we all finished dinner, I knew Maggie's boyfriend would be coming soon.

"Maggie, when is Gavin coming?" I asked her as we finished up the dishes.

"He'll be here any minute," she replied. "Greyson, be nice, okay? I promise he's a good guy," Maggie instructed to Greyson.

"I will be, he just better be pretty dang good, Maggie. You deserve the world," he said, hugging her.

"He's amazing, don't worry," she promised him. Then, we all heard the doorbell ring.

"That's him, come on," Maggie said, pulling Greyson and me by the arms. I saw her take a deep breath and then she opened the door.

"Hey, Mags," Gavin greeted, giving her a hug.

"Hi, Gavin, missed you," she replied, smiling. Gavin was about 6 feet tall and he had curly brown hair and dark green eyes. He was thin, but not overly thin.

"This is my brother, Greyson, and his girlfriend, Peyton," Maggie introduced.

"Nice to meet you," Gavin said, putting his hand out for Greyson to shake. Greyson didn't say anything until I nudged him and he shook Gavin's hand.

"Good to meet you as well," Grey replied. Mr. Kole walked into the room.

"Hi, Gavin! Nice to see you again, son!" he called to him on his way to the living room.

"Good to see you too Mr. Kole," he said back. We all walked into the living room and Gavin politely introduced himself to my parents. We all talked and got to know him, he seemed like a good kid. When his grades came up, it was clear he was a good student, but he was in no way arrogant over it. The best part was you could tell how much he adored Maggie. He did a million nice things to say about her from football to school. I could tell he really respected her, which was important. I had to keep nudging to stop him from glaring at poor Gavin.

"Greyson, chill," I whispered. He looked at me and took a deep breath and nodded. After Grey relaxed, it started to go even better. Grey asked him questions about lacrosse and the two actually seemed to get along pretty decently. 

After Gavin left, it was pretty late. Greyson and I decided to go to bed because he told me that the reunion started at 11 and we wanted to be there on time. I threw on my pajamas and quickly fell asleep. I had been exhausted from move-in day earlier so sleep felt great.
