The sound of mumbling voices clouded Andy's mind until he could completely comprehend that they were voices. He fluttered his eyes open to look around the room, "where am I?" He asked groggily to no one in particular. "Andy!" He heard before being pulled into a tight hug "I'm so glad you're okay."

He smiled, hugging him back even if he had no idea what was going on. "Rye be careful with him!" Hue warns "he did just wake up." Rye nodded, loosening his grip but still holding him close to him. Andy finally got a chance to look around, not only were Hue and Rye there but also brook, their mom, David, Rye's mom and three other guys he'd never seen before.

"Okay, what happened? where am I? And who are they?" Andy asked, pointing to the three strangers. "Sweetheart, calm down okay" his mom says, taking his hand into hers. "You fainted at the restaurant" Brook added, coming up beside her. "Fainted? Why?" Andy asks, searching his mind for an answer before gasping "the fish!" Everyone looked at him in confusion, "well yeah, you fainted and then the fish tank broke."

"What happened to the fish?" He asked worriedly, he hoped nothing bad happened to them. Plus, he needed to know what his father had to say. "They're safe, they were quickly put into more water, but they gave us a very beautiful yellow fish because Rye said you seemed to be very fascinated by it. I had Rebecca take it home for me."

Andy sighed in relief, smiling largely at Rye before pulling him into another hug and kissing his cheek, "thank you so much." Rye blushed, "y-you're welcome" he stuttered, blushing even harder as his brothers began to tease him making kissing sounds at him. "Boys, stop making fun of your brother" Rye's mother said making Andy remember she was also there which was quite confusing.

He didn't know her well enough for her to be here- well wherever "here" was as no one had explained it to him. "Oh Andy these are my brothers, Robbie, Shaun, and Sammie." Each of them waving as they're name was called. He waved back at them, smiling friendly "nice to meet you, I'm Andy."

"They had just gotten here so I called Hue to tell him and he said he was at the hospital so I picked them up and brought them here" Rye's mother explained making Andy nod. He then looked at his mother and David "why are you guys here?" "We we're having dinner at the restaurant last night and we rushed over to see what the commotion was" David explained "yeah, and when we saw it was you we came to the hospital to see you this morning."

Andy nodded, happy that all of his questions had been answered. Before long the doctor had come in, checking him one last time before he was released. The entire ride home, Rye refused to be removed from Andy's side. Holding his hand the entire time even when they were now at his house. "Rye, you can let go now" Andy laughs, giving him a look of concern as he frowned at him.

"Rye are you okay?" Rye shook his head, pulling him into another hug "you really scared me last night." Andy pouted at him, he didn't mean to scare him and it wasn't really his fault. He hadn't spoken to animals in months and for them to all be screaming at him like they'd done wasn't exactly how he'd get back into the swing of things.

He apologized nevertheless, hugging him back just as tightly before pulling away slightly. "Hue said you've been there since last night, maybe you should go take a nap" Andy suggests, leading him to his room "Only if you take one with me." Andy nodded, spotting the yellow fish swimming around in a tank.

He stared at it for a moment then giggling as Rye pulled him onto the bed. Quickly wrapping his arms around his middle. He pecked his lips befire snuggling into his side. Andy played with his hair until he heard soft snores coming from him. He smiled at his sleeping form before turning to the fish, "why are you here?" The fish stopped swimming in circles, turning his full attention to him "your father wants you to come home-" Andy scoffed, shaking his head "I'm no-"-to meet your baby sister."

Andy stared at him in shock, Celesta had her baby and it was a girl. Andy had told her how much he'd love to have a sister even if she wasn't fully his sister. He actually liked Celesta and held no grudge toward her for being his stepmother. "What's her name?" He asked breathlessly "Phoenix, a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed baby with her brothers matching pink tail."

Andys eyes sparkled with tears, he finally wouldn't be the only one with a pink tail. He absolutely loved her already but he knew he couldn't go back. Rye holding onto him tightly to readjust himself as he slept reminding him just why he couldn't go back. If his father knew he'd fallen for a human, he'd lock him away from sure. Just to keep him from coming back to him.

"She sounds amazing" he said with a smile "but I'm not coming back, ever so please inform him of that." The fish protested but Andy simply ignored him, turning in Rye's arms and finally letting his tears go.
