Switched: The Complete Series

Chapter Thirty-Four- Surprise

~~Luna's point of view~~

Malachi is seven months old today.

Today was supposed to be a family outing, but Malachi is sick. I didn't want to take him out. So, we are hanging out in my room. We have been up all night.

Luna: "Alright, little dude."

I snuggle with him in my bed. When he falls asleep, I close my eyes and go to sleep. 

~~Damien's point of view~~

I'm on a plane headed home. Thankfully, this trip is only four hours. I ended my contract five months early. I wanted to be home. I have reasons to be home. I've missed so much; River and Natalie are having their second child, Adley is now over a year old. She's smart as can be walked at ten months. I haven't seen her since she was a few months old.

Charity and Devon are also having another baby. That was a drama situation. I still don't think Charity has let him live it down. The twins are just about a year old. Cherish married Axel while I was there; My little sister married my best friend; I missed it. I refuse to miss the birth of their baby boy. It's an any day situation. Reeva and Brian started dating. They've been together for two months, and she's four weeks pregnant. They aren't ready for marriage, but they both wanted a baby.

Then there's Luna. She's still single. She went into labor with the baby the day I left. He's seven months old today. She still hasn't told me his name. I haven't told anyone that I'm coming home. I wanted it to be a surprise; I lost money leaving early; I didn't care. I've made enough to last a lifetime. I'm done with all that. I'm going back to work and spending time with my family.

My parents are still alive. I don't have a lot to do with them. They didn't raise my sister or me; our Grandma did; I had Preston pick me up. He's the only one that knows I'm coming home. The plane lands. It seems to take forever to get off the plane. I immediately smile as I step away from baggage. Preston's voice above everyone.

Preston: "MY BOY!"

We do a bro hug, then head to the car.

Preston: "Man, it's good to have you home."

Damien: "It's good to be home. How's Jenna and the kids?"

Preston: "Great man, we're expecting number five. Don't tell Jenna she'd kill me."

Damien: "You know what causes that, right?"

Preston: "Sure do, man. Have you seen my wife?"

Damien: "Sure have, man. I don't find my sister that attractive."

Preston and my biological little sister have been married for eleven years. They got married right out of high school. I love my sister. I see her frequently when I'm home.
