Andy's POV

I cant talk right now..

"Well are you just gonna stand there? Or are you going to invite me in?" I hear my mom say. I step back not saying anything. I see her look around the room then smile back at me. "Oh look at you! All grown up!" She comes and gives me a hug.

Finally I break out of my trance and hug her back. "Mom you weren't- oh Andy who is this?" Rye comes down the stairs asking me. "This is my mum. Mum, this is Rye. My boyfriend" I say looking down a bit.

"Nice to meet-" they both say at the same time. Then mum motions for Rye to speak. "I'm Rye. Nice to meet you" says Rye coming down the stairs to shake hands with my mom. She smiles at him and pulls him in for a hug.

"How long have you two been dating?" She asks. (I'm going off when I started this book so bear with me) "Around 8 months" I say. She smiles sweetly and goes to sit on the couch.

"Well tell me about everything that I've missed!" She says happily pating the seat next to her.

And so I do tell her everything. About how me and Rye met, the trip to New York, and how we got Milo. After an hour of talking we hear the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it" Rye says while getting up. Me and my mum both turn around to see who it is.

"Mum! Come in, come in!" Rye exclaims. "Mrs. Fowler this is my mum." Rye says motioning to the lady standing next to him.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Andy's mum." I hear my mom say.

"Well I think its lovely that were all here!" Ryes mum says joyfully.

"Yes, why dont we all go out and do something together!" My mom says. I smile and say, "Why don't we go out to eat then go for a walk on the beach?"

The rest seem to like my idea as I can see smiles on their faces. "Well then its settled, we'll leave right after I go freshen up" Rye says flipping his non existent long hair.

We all laugh as he walks up the stairs. 

5 minutes later

Rye comes back down in a new shirt and with his hair now combed a bit more. "Alright let's go. We'll take my car" Rye says as he grabs his keys and swings them around his finger.

We nod then walk outside and wow was it a beautiful day for a walk. I'm so much happier now that my moms here. I mean I haven't seen her in years. Heck I thought she was dead.

But seeing her alive and happy was just amazing.

We get in the car and make our way over to a restaurant Ryes mum recommended. We sit down and order before we start talking. "So what have you been up to all these years?" I ask my mum.

"I've been traveling all around America. I had never been and I actually found it quite beautiful. Very beautiful indeed, especially the National Parks. I even got to see a baseball game. An Angel's one to be specific, my favorite team." My mum explains.

"Angel's? I didn't even know there was  a team named the Angel's. I only know of the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers." I say.

"Oh yes. There are many teams. I just happen to like the Angel's cause I did plant myself down in California for about a year before traveling again." My mum says again trailing off. 

Rye and his mom are listening while I just nod my head. Our food comes shortly after my mum and I's conversation ends.
