Genny woke up at around 12:45 pm, confused as to why no one woke her up. She picked up her phone and was greeted to three text messages from her friends Bri, Lisa and Gabi, all saying that they couldn't wait to come over today. She glanced at the time once again and shot up.

Today, everyone was coming to their house for a small get together. She brought her hands to her face, knowing that people would be showing up at around two and she had just woken up. That gave her about an hour and 15 minutes to get ready. She climbed out of bed and headed out of the bedroom. She heard Kendall and their two sons in the living room and she proceeded to walk down the stairs. There was a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she was greeted by their daughter, Effy.

Effy had a wondering look on her face. Knowing that she was asking what time everyone was coming over, Genny said, "Everyone's coming over at 2. Your grandparents will be here soon, you should finish getting ready." Effy nodded and turned to get back into her room. Once the door is closed, Genny let out a sigh, wishing that her daughter would pick today to start talking again. She shook it off, then continued down the stairs. She turned into the living room, only to find her oldest son, Cameron, hanging onto Kendall's leg and her youngest son, Nathan, clinging onto Kendall's back.

"Oh, hey, look, your mother's awake," Kendall said. Cameron and Nathan's attention turned to Genny and they started yelling.

"Mom, it's almost one! Why did you just wake up?" Cameron asked. He raced over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Nathan did the same.

"You're always yelling at us for sleeping late," Nathan said. The two boys had more energy than Genny could handle. She loved her sons dearly, but their inability to sit still was sometimes hard to handle.

"Because I was awake until 5 in the morning, okay? When you're awake until 5 in the morning, then that's when I'll be okay with you sleeping in," Genny replied with a smile.

"Oh, so if we stay up until 5 in the morning tonight, we can sleep in late?" Cameron asked. He let go of his mother and grabbed his brother's arms. "Nathan! Let's stay up until 5!" Nathan let go as well as the two of them ran off.

"They'll never accomplish that," Genny said with a laugh. She turned to Kendall and she was greeted to open arms.

"Is it my turn?" he asked with a slight smile. She laughed a bit and walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around him and he did the same and kissed her. "Afternoon, love." Just then, the sounds of two little boys running came into the play, and the couple was knocked over. They found themselves on the floor with Cameron and Nathan on top of them.

"Oh my goodness." Genny shook her head and laughed. "Guys, go get ready!" The two got off of their parents and made their way upstairs. "I can't with those two sometimes."

"No one can, just wait until they're teenagers and they hate you," Kendall said.

"I am dreading that time, so keep your mouth shut until then," Genny replied while elbowing him in the stomach. "What time are your parents coming?"

"They should be here soon."

"And you didn't wake me up sooner?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother you!"

She shook her head. "I wouldn't have killed you, you know."

Kendall watched as his wife got up and made her way back upstairs. He laid down on the floor and the boys were at it again. They ran back into the living room, but this time their two dogs were following them. Kendall laughed at the sight of their one year old Samoyed, towering over their 3 year old Shih Tzu, and that was something he was never going to get tired of.

"Hey, is your sister getting ready?" Kendall asked as his two sons ran past him.

They both shrugged and yelled out her name.

Effy, upstairs, grabbed her phone when she heard her brothers calling out her name. She opened up a new text message and typed in, "Relax, I'm almost ready. I'll be down in a bit." She searched for her dad's number in her phone book and hit the send button. She looked in the mirror once more and scanning for any outfit imperfections. Satisfied, she took her phone and headed out of her bedroom door. Before heading down the stairs, she unlocked her phone and typed in a text message to her best friend, Conor. "What time are you coming?"

Conor grabbed his phone off of the couch when it alerted him of a new next message from Effy.

"Dad," he called out. "What time are we heading to Effy's?" He walked into the kitchen to find his dad reaching into the refrigerator for a water bottle. His two younger siblings, Jacqueline and Nicholas, were outside. They were about two years older than Effy's brother, Cameron.

"You know, it's technically not Effy's since Kendall and Genny were living there first," James replied. He grabbed the water bottle and closed the refrigerator. He turned around and looked at his son, who was rolling his eyes at his witty remark. "Relax, you know what I mean. We're leaving in a half hour. Is your mom ready?"

"I don't know," Conor replied. "And no, I will not go ask her if she is."

"All right then," James said. Conor walked back into the living room while he made his way up the stairs and into their bedroom. His wife, Brianna, was putting in her last earring. "Hey you, are you almost ready?"

She nodded. "Yup. Are Jackie and Nick ready? I told them to get ready, but I don't think they paid much attention to me."

"You're their mother, of course they listened to you. They're outside."

"Are we heading out soon?"

"Yup, half hour. You excited to see everyone tonight? Everyone's finally home at the same time. It's been a while since that last happened."

"Of course I am! What kind of question is that?"

"What do you girls talk about, anyway?"

"Life, work and how stupid you all are."

"Are you really still in bed?" Logan asked his almost-ten-year-old son, Damien, when he walked into his room. "You are almost 10, why are you sleeping in?" He walked over to the edge of his bed and grabbed Damien's ankles.

"Dad!" Damien yelled. He grabbed onto the edge of the bed, but failed as his father managed to drag him out of bed and throw him over his shoulder. "Dad! Put me DOWN!" He started flailing his arms and legs.

"Only if you plan on getting ready," Logan responded. "We have to leave in 20 minutes, you know." He set Damien down, who ran towards his dresser to pick out an outfit, and walked out of the room and into the hallway. Lisa was making her way down the stairs. "Mrs. Henderson!"

Lisa turned around when she was halfway down the stairs. "Yes, Mr. Henderson?"

"Is Dakota ready?"

"Of course," Lisa said with confidence. "She's downstairs already. You told me to ask her to get ready. The kids listen to me, remember?"

"Oh, okay, no need to get cocky," Logan replied while heading down the stairs to catch up with her. "I just woke Damien up. He should be ready in a bit."

"Just woke him up?" Lisa asked with a eyebrow raised. "The kid should not be sleeping in this late at this age."

"See, this is why you and Genny are best friends. You are exactly like her."

"Excuse me, but any parent would agree with us. You are too lenient." She shook her head and continued down the stairs, disappearing into the living room. Logan started heading down the stairs. "Tell him to hurry up!" Lisa called out.

"Damien, hurry up! We're leaving soon!"

"Dad! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaait!" Damien yelled back.

Logan shook his head and continued down the stairs. "Lisa, did Genny or Kendall say anything about Dylan being there today? Or showing up at all?" Dylan was Genny's step-cousin and one of his and Kendall's best friends.

"No," Lisa called out. "No, as in he's not going to be there today. He and Ashley aren't home this weekend. Why do you ask?"

"Ah, nothing. I just have a DVD to return to him."

Gabi was impatiently tapping her foot. She checked the time on her phone once more before crossing her arms. It was going on 2 PM. "Didn't I say we were leaving at 1:45?" Gabi called out to Carlos, who was upstairs still trying to get things in order. "Los, we're waiting on you!" Cole and Roy made their way down the stairs, their shoes untied. "You two are going to trip. Tie your shoes." Gabi was never bitter. She just didn't like being late.

"I can't find the car keys!" Carlos called out from the bedroom. Gabi turned around and saw the keys hanging perfectly on the key hanger they had in the foyer.

"Jesus Christ, Carlos," she muttered to herself. She bought her fingers up to her temples and started massaging them. "Did you check everywhere?" She called out while still staring straight at the car keys.

Carlos walked into the foyer. "I checked everywhere and I can't find…" he trailed off when realized his wife was staring dead straight at the car keys he was looking for. "Found them." He reached over and took them off of the hook. "All right, I'm stupid. Forgive me." She took her hands off of her temples and glared at him. "Stop looking at me like that."

"You would be so screwed if you didn't have me."

"Agreed," he said while kissing her on the cheek. "Okay, now it's let's go."

Everyone was at the Schmidt household. S'mores were happening outside and video games were being played in the living room. Music was blasting and it was a good time. It was always a good time when it came to this wolfpack, as Gabi referred to it as. Everything was perfect, but no one knew that it would come to an end just a few weeks later.
