Back Home

When we entered the house, I was expecting to find my aunt crying, with my uncles arms around her. I was not expecting to see my dad sitting in my uncles chair, laughing as he talked to my aunt, and uncle. Before anything was said to us, my brother, and I had both hurried to our dad, and wrapped our arms around him.

My dad kissed the top of my head, as he moved me onto his lap, as my brother knelt beside him. He looked at us, with tears in his own eyes, "I missed my duo, are you surprised?"

I smacked him against his chest, as my brother did the same, "We thought you were dead."

"You know I am too stubborn to die." Our dad joked, as he tugged at a lose strand of my hair, and messed my brothers hair up, "It's good to see you duo again," he looked over towards our cousin, who was now sitting beside his mom, and smiling at us, "You sure have grown, Kieth."

My cousin smiled as his mom rubbed his back, "Sure am glad you're here Colonel."

He shook his head, and wrapped an arm around my brother, and I, "Not Colonel any more, retired from the service, going to work with uncle Mike at the factory, went and talked to my new boss after your uncle picked me up from the bus stop. What do you Duo, think about that?"

I wrapped my arms around my dad's neck, and started to cry into his shoulder, "So we get you all to ourselves, no more sharing you with the Army?"

"Nope, I am here for you two, from this point on." My dad had tears in his eyes, as he turned my head to look at him, and then kisses my cheek, "I am so sorry I -"

I shook my head at him, and forced a smiled when my brother rubbed my back, as we both stood up, "I don't want to think of the past, and just want to enjoy you being home."

"So are you going to share a room with Kieth, and I?" My brother asked, as he went to sit beside his cousin.

"Your aunt is letting us move into your mom's childhood home, it's just around the corner from here," Dad answered as he stood to his own feet, and looked back at me, "You sure look a lot like your mother."

"She really does, doesn't she?" My aunt agreed, and she stood to her feet. She looked at me with a smile, "Why do you think I kept wanting your input, on rather the rooms looked nice to you?"

"I honestly thought you were making it up, for some other family to rent too, and just wanted another girl's input," I answered honestly, remembering all the times we went shopping to buy things for the other house. I had fallen in love with my mom's room, and was glad that my aunt didn't want to change anything, after I told her about liking the room as it was. I smiled at my twin, who was now whispering with our cousin, "We each get our own room, Gene."

My brother grinned as he got to his own feet, "So when do we move in?"

I turned to look at my aunt, as I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, "You're really a great aunt, Aunt Allison."

My aunt wrapped her arms around me, and kissed my forehead, "And you're a great niece," she looked over towards my twin, "and a great nephew."

Life was good...

Later on that Day

"Where you leaving to, Eva?" My dad asked from the front porch, as I made my way to my jeep.

"I am going to pick Sodapop up from work," I answered, already knowing he would know, since I told my dad all about my boyfriend.

"Can't wait to meet him," My dad smiled, before going back into the house, probably to help our aunt with dinner.

I jumped into my jeep, and made my way to the DX, rolling my eyes at all the girls flirting wit

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter.h my boyfriend, "Hey Sodapop, are you ready?"

He didn't even give the girls a second look, before running into the shop, then coming back out to my car. He jumped into the driver's seat, after I automatically scooted over wanting him to drive, "Hey there doll, I am glad you came." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders, as I rested my head on his shoulder, "This week without you was the hardest thing I ever went through, just kept on hoping you'd come into the house, but knew the way I left things made you feel alone. I should had been there for you, especially after what you said went down that day, but I had to act like a jealous ass."

"Let's just move forward," I whispered, not wanting to think about the past, even though everyone seemed to want to bring it up again.
