Jamie and Sophia walked into Sophia's house. Sophia shut the door behind them.
"This is perfect," Sophia said. "We're all alone here. Brooke and Julian think I'm over here watering the plants. Oh, and remind me to water the plants."
"Okay," Jamie said. "Are you sure you're ready?"
"I'm sure," Sophia said.
"Okay," Jamie said. "Where should we um…"
"How about the couch?" Sophia suggested.
"Okay," Jamie said nervously.
At 6:00, Jamie sat and waited at the baggage claim for Lucas, Peyton and Sawyer to arrive.
"Jamie Luke," a familiar voice said.
Jamie turned around to see Lucas, Peyton and Sawyer with carry-on baggage.
"Hey guys," Jamie said.
"Hey Jamie," Sawyer said.
"Come here," Peyton said.
Jamie walked over and he and Peyton gave each other a hug.
"I think you've grown in the month since I've seen you," Peyton said.
"Come here and give your uncle a big hug," Lucas said.
Lucas and Jamie embraced tightly. Peyton and Sawyer looked at each other.
"How long do you think they'll hug this time Mommy?" Sawyer asked.
"I don't know," Peyton said. "Their hugs usually last a long time. Let's go get a pretzel."
Peyton and Sawyer walked off to get a pretzel while Lucas and Jamie continued to hug.
"I've missed you," Lucas said.
"I've missed you too," Jamie said.
"How's Sophia?" Lucas asked.
"She's doing great," Jamie said. "We just had…"
Jamie quickly saved himself by saying "a sandwich. We just had a sandwich before I came to pick you up from the airport."
Lucas and Jamie let go of their embrace.
"What kind of sandwich?" Lucas asked.
"A meatball sub," Jamie said.
"That sounds good and really greasy," Lucas said.
"Yeah," Jamie said.
"So let's go see if you aunt and your cousin are done getting that pretzel," Lucas said.
"Okay," Jamie said. "I'm really glad you're here Uncle Lucas."
"I'm really glad to be here," Lucas said smiling at his nephew.
