Jug, Sweets and I all started prepping the food for our BBQ while we blasted music throughout the house. The boys were outside starting up the grill while I started seasoning the steaks and burgers while sipping on a Dos Equis (🍺)

I heard the chime of the front door open and looked at the TV with our security cameras and seen the love of my life walk through the door with my sister and Fangs strolling behind her. They walked into the kitchen a few seconds later "hey baby" Toni said as she came around the counter I washed my hands before wrapping my arms around her "hi love" I said as I placed my lips on hers.

"Need any help?" I nodded "wanna throw together that salad?" She kissed my cheek as she pulled out a knife to cut up the vegetables. I came around the counter to give my sister and Fangs a hug. "Fangs the boys are outside, beer is in the fridge out there by the grill" Veronica looked around our kitchen as it was the first time she had ever seen our house. "I can't believe you did all this Jade it's fucking incredible you have a talent here."

A smile spread across my face "thanks Ronnie that means a lot. Let Toni finish up with that salad and we'll give you the tour." She sat down on the barstool and we talked for a few minutes while I put together a few side dishes. Once we were finished "alright let's give you that tour." We walked her through the entire house Veronica was impressed. "If you think inside is impressive wait till you see the backyard." We walked outside and Veronica's jaw dropped. "Holy shit J this is insane!"

Hearing my sister praise my work meant the world to me. In the few short months we've known one another it was like we grew up together since birth and I couldn't be more thankful. A little while later Betty, Archie, Kevin, Kato and Alexa all showed up and we began eating and drinking. This was the first time they all seen our home so we showed them around as well. It was amazing having all of my friends over, and it was actually the first time I've spent with them all since my accident.

"So we invited you guys over to talk about vacation. I know with everything that happened we all agreed to postpone it. But would you guys be able to leave in 2 weeks?" They all looked around and all nodded their heads Veronica clapped her hands "great I'll be back in minute let me call and have my travel agent reconfirm everything again." She got up and went back inside we all talked about random things. Betty, Kevin and Alexa decided to be the ones to clean up after everyone.

While they picked up I decided to turn on our fire pit and we moved our drinks around the pit I ran inside and got stuff to make s'mores. I came back out with everything and set it on the table surrounding the pit. Toni moved onto my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck as I wrapped my arms around her waist "I love you gorgeous" she said as she kissed my neck "I love you too beautiful" I said as I placed my lips on hers.

Veronica confirmed our reservations and our flight details and gave it to everyone. We spent the rest of the night snacking and drinking, laughing and talking. This was what normalcy felt like finally and I was happy. Being with the people I loved most brought me such peace. Around 1:30am everyone decided to leave. Except for Fangs and Pea who decided to stay in the guest house across the yard that we had finally finished in the last few weeks.
