**Thank you for being so patient, this week was so crazy with work and getting my oldest ready to go back to school. Sorry for making everyone wait this long!! And to our newest readers, thank you for checking this out!**

Randy and Sophie made it home from the airport in decent time and Randy looked up at the house and smiled. This was their home. Randy turned to Sophie, "When does little man come home?"

Sophie smiled, "Either tomorrow or the day after. But soon because he has his 1st grade open house in a couple of days."

Randy nodded. He grabbed his bag and Sophie opened the front door for him. He walked in and smiled. "I forgot how much fun moving is."

"I don't know if fun is the word I'd use." Sophie replied with a smirk. "But the kitchen is almost done!"

Randy made his way to the kitchen, and she was right. Sophie and Elaine had worked really hard and it looked great. The cupboards were all arranged, the little things that you tend to overlook were all put away. He looked at the fridge, and there on the front in a 4x6 frame was what looked like poetry and it was decorated flowers and hearts. Randy took a step closer to read it, "You can start a love with good intentions and you look up and it's gone." Then beneath it was another 4x6 frame this one decorated with fireflies and it read, "So we treat our love like a firefly…Like it only gets to shine for a little while. Catch it in a mason jar with holes in the top…and run like hell to show it off." Randy looked over towards Sophie, "What's with the poetry?"

"It's not poetry…exactly. They're just words from a song that I like. I thought that they kind of put life and love into perspective so I decorated some paper, framed it and put it up on the fridge." She replied.

Randy thought about how true those words were. He'd never really thought about love like that before.

Randy's parents walked into the kitchen, "Welcome home son." Bob said patting his son on the back. "Didn't expect to see you back so soon."

Randy chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, no kidding. This stupid shoulder."

Bob laughed, "Just remember son, everything happens for a reason."

"Yeah I know. I'll fly out in a few days to let the doc take a look at it, but they said that I'm probably out for at least 3 months. If it's too long, I'm going to have to drop the belt. I just got the damn thing back, just to screw up my shoulder in the very same match? Ugh." Randy growled.

"I'm going to bed. Your mom's already in bed, but we'll see you in the morning." Bob said turning to head back to the guest room.

"G'night dad." Randy said as his dad disappeared into the bedroom.

Randy finished walking around the house and found Sophie in their bedroom. "Hey sweetie."

Sophie looked up from the box she was unpacking and smiled, "Welcome to land o' boxes. I have the clothes that were in the dressers back in there and anything hanging is in the closet."

"Sounds good. Let's go to bed and tomorrow we'll hit the ground runnin'." Randy said kissing the top of her head.

"Well, if you insist." Sophie said with a laugh.

Sophie changed into her pajamas and Randy stripped down to his boxers, they crawled into the bed and snuggled under the covers, and before long they were both fast asleep in each others arms.

And before they knew it the next 4 weeks flew by! Between dr's appointments, the beginning of school and school sports, getting the house unpacked and doing new house shopping, a month had already gone by. Randy and Sophie were growing closer and closer.

Sophie was really beginning to come out of her shell and become comfortable with her new life and it was really making a difference.

Randy was doing a great job of not just thinking about himself and what he wanted and needed but thinking in terms of an "us" and a family.

Hunter was really enjoying living as a family. Randy would bring him to school in the morning and Sophie would pick him up in the afternoon. They would all sit at the table as Hunter practiced what he learned in school that day.

Randy had dropped the belt, but still made some promo appearances from time to time. And this weekend was one of them, so he had flown out to do that. Sophie dropped Hunter off at school and went home and decided it was going to be a "me" day. She drove to the cities where she went and had her hair done, her nails done, she splurged and got a pedicure. Then she went and bought herself a couple new outfits.

As she was driving back to pick Hunter up from school, Randy called her, "Hey honey."

"Hey babe." Randy said happily, "I thought I'd let you know that I'll be landing in Minneapolis at 7:38am Sunday morning. I'm just hanging out with some of the guys and divas for the night. I miss you."

Sophie smiled, "I miss you too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do this weekend yet. But I think I might go see mom and dad."

"That'll be a good time. Have fun, I've gotta run. Love you." Randy said as he seen the divas approaching him.

"Love you too." Sophie replied hanging up the phone.

**Sorry this wasn't the biggest update in the world. I hope everyone has a great labor day weekend! Update on Tuesday! Please read and review!**
