"And then he asked for my permission to marry my mum!" Sebastian states with a grin, throwing his hands above his head while all his friends cheer and laugh.

Soon after his and Nathan's walk to the park, Sebastian situated himself in his room to join the skype call with all of his friends. They had been so excited to see him, that after screaming with glee and having Sebastian close his door for his mother and Nathan not to hear, Chris and the rest of the group expressed their worry that Sebastian wouldn't be joining.

"What took you so long?" Scarlett had asked him. "We got so worried we wouldn't be able to see you tonight."

Hence why Sebastian had told them all about Nathan's plans to marry his mother.

"That's amazing, Seb!" Letitia exclaims, voicing everyone's thoughts. "Do you know when he's gonna do it?"

Sebastian shakes his head, placing his hands back down atop Indy and Dodgers heads. "No.. I think he wants to wait for the perfect moment, you know?"

"Well, whatever he chooses to do," Scarlett chirps. "It'll be perfect. He's a good guy."

Sebastian smiles. "Yeah, he is."

The group all look at one another through their cameras, smiling softly. They were happy, especially Chris, that Sebastian's mother had been able to find such a kind and considerate guy who treats Sebastian like his own. Who treats him with respect and chooses his actions and words wisely. They were proud of how far Sebastian had come.

Scarlett remembers when Sebastian went over to her house for the first time before Christmas. Her father had gone to shake his hand, obviously moving far too fast, and caused Sebastian to flinch and cower back, arms over his face. He had been terrified.

That's when the group decided it was time to inform their family members of Sebastian's past before they met him. Some of them hadn't, but on Christmas, he got to meet every single one of them with a happy smile.

"Anyway." Sebastian says, "how's school going for everyone?"

Groans and nervous chuckles echo throughout the call, Sebastian giggling and shaking his head. Everyone seemed to be doing okay, only a few were overworking themselves (Letitia, Elizabeth and Scarlett) while the rest seemed to be holding down their stress quite well.

"Wait a minute.." Chris says, leaning in closer to his laptop screen to get a better look at Sebastian's video. "Is that Dodger?"

The dogs ears prick up at the sound of his name and he lifts his head excitedly, tail wagging almost instantly and giving poor Indy a fright. "Uh..." Sebastian trails off, scratching the back of his neck.

"Why is my dog at your house?"

Sebastian clears his throat nervously. "He's staying with me for a few weeks.."

Chris furrows his brows, confused along with everyone else. "How come? Did he do something bad?" Chris asks, tilting his head at his boyfriend. "Seb?"

Sebastian sighs. "Your mum asked me to look after him for awhile because he's been howling and crying throughout the night and standing outside of your door." He rushes out, cuddling both dogs into his lap once more. "she didn't know what else to do," Sebastian adds when Chris's face morphs into somewhat anger. "And she thought it would be good for both Dodger and I."
