The gang walked into La Boulaie with all their suitcases in tow.
"Hey mom." Starr said.
"Hey sweetie. You guys all set?" Blair asked.
"Yup. Where do you want our suitcases?" She replied.
"Just leave them in the foyer with ours and then come say hi to everyone in the living room."
The group added their suitcases to the pile in the foyer and made their way to the living room.
"Oh my darlings." Dorian gushed, hugging Starr and Langston. "Isn't this wonderful?"
"Absolutely amazing." Langston replied. "A vacation is exactly what we all need."
"And it'll be nice to have everyone in the family together for once." Starr added.
"Yeah it will." Blair said.
"So who are we still waiting on?" Markko asked.
"Just Tea and Dani." Dorian answered.
"That's perfect; I'm going to go see how Paw and my fellow Buchanan's are doing?" David said, kissing his wife as he ran out the door.
-V-
"Who's ready for the greatest vacation ever?" Natalie exclaimed as her and John walked into the Buchanan Mansion with Liam.
"We are!" Matthew and Destiny said excitedly, playing with Drew.
"Hey, Liam and Drew should be airplane buddies." John smiled.
"Sounds great to me." Destiny said, giving little Liam a high five.
"Maybe Ryder will want to sit with them too." Matthew added, also high fiving Liam.
"He'd love to!" Ford exclaimed as he came into the living room of the mansion.
"Ford, good to see you." Bo said. "Jess and Bree with you?"
"They'll be here in a minute. They're just giving Nigel the luggage. Clint and Viki came with us too." Ford answered.
"Don't worry; the family's here." Clint laughed.
"Good you guys are still here." Jessica said.
"We wouldn't leave without you." Nora insisted.
"What about me?" David yelled as he ran to see everyone.
"David! What are you doing here?" Bo asked, very happy to see his son.
"Just checking on the family. The Cramer's are still waiting on Dani and Tea. Is the whole Buchanan gang here?"
"Yes David, we're all set. Tell Dorian we're going to head over to the airport and we'll see them over there." Nora said.
"Alright, I'll tell them. See you guys at the airport." David said as he made his way back to La Boulaie.
When he got there, he saw that the pile of suitcases had gotten even larger, and everyone was waiting for him in the foyer, including Tea and Dani, along with Tomas and baby Victor Lord III.
"Where have you been?" Dorian yelled. "We need help getting all the luggage on the bus!"
"I was at Paw and Step-Nora's. They told me to tell you they're leaving now and they'll see you at the airport."
"Well we'll be right behind them. We just need to get all of our stuff onto the coach." Blair said, starting to grab the suitcases off the pile. Everyone else grabbed a few, and before they knew it, everything was on the bus and they were on their way to the airport.
Both groups got to the airport around the same time, an hour before the plane's scheduled take off. After everyone got through security, both groups did a final headcount.
"Alright Buchanan's, we got everybody?" Clint asked.
"The Brennan's/Ford's are all accounted for." Jessica said.
"So are the McBain's" Natalie added.
"Very good. Little brother, what about you?" Clint asked Bo.
"We've got all the Buchanan's. Evans's?" Bo asked.
"All here." Phylicia said.
"Am I on your list Paw?" David asked.
"Yes you are son, but I think you're also on your wife's list." Bo laughed.
"He's right. You're with us Cramer's." Dorian said. "Now are all the Cramer's here?"
"Right here." Blair and Langston said.
"Does that include me?" Markko asked.
"Yup." Blair said.
"What about the Thornhart's?" Dorian continued.
"We're all set." Cole said, picking up Hope.
"Manning's, and yes for now that includes you Starr."
"Can we just hurry up?" Jack complained.
"I'll take that as a yes." Dorian said. "And finally the Delgado's."
"All present and accounted for." Tomas said.
"Great. Everyone is here, and just in time. It's time to board." Clint said.
"Wait…one more thing." David said excitedly.
"Now what?" Jack continued to complain.
"These!" David said, ripping open his jacket to show the shirt he was wearing. It was a specially made reunion t-shirt.
"Oh those are just lovely." Viki said cheerfully.
"I've got one for everybody, including the little guys." David said, pulling out the duffle bag of shirts.
They were dark green with white writing. The front of all the shirt was the same; the phrase "Llanview Family Reunion" was printed in fancy lettering. The back of the shirts were different for each person. All the last names of everybody were on it, but depending on the person, there last name, or names, would be in lime green writing instead of white. As each person boarded the plane, David handed them their specific shirt.
