Laura is working on a new movie so she has been gone a lot. I have been bored out of my mind. I hate not being able to talk to her or sleep next to her. I look down at Fluffy and bet her. I pick up my phone and call Riker. He picks up laughing, "Hey Ross." I smile, "Hey can we do something. I am losing it over here." I hear him sigh, "She isn't back yet?" I shake my head, "No. I have two more weeks and I am so bored. Please, can we do something?" I hear a laugh and then, "We are all just hanging out by the pool if you want to join." I look around the empty room and nod, "Be there in five." I hang up and go get dressed.

I pull into the familiar driveway and look around. At times I miss living here. I get out and walk in and out to the pool. I see everyone laughing and that they have the radio going. I smile and take my shirt off before running and jumping in the pool. I hear screams and then come up smiling. I get water splashed at me as they all yell my name. I smile and swim over to the side where I see Rydel sitting on the edge of the pool. "Come on it Rydel." She smiles and shakes her head, "Later." I smile and grab her pulling her in making her shriek. I smile missing this, missing my family.

We all swim around and just have fun. We played games, swam, and just being together and enjoying ourselves. Rydel climbs out and twists her hair getting the water out of it, "Are you guys hungry?" We all look around and nod. "Let's order a pizza." I smile and climb out hugging her, "I missed you." I turn and look at all my brothers and Ratliff, "I missed all of you." They all splash me before climbing out and following us inside. I change into a pair of clothes and sit down on the couch looking around content.

I feel Rydel flop down next to me and put her head on my shoulder. I look down at her and smile, "What are you doing?" She shrugs, "I missed you too." I smile and put an arm around her pulling her to me. She smiles and wraps her arms around my waist hugging me to her as well. "I wish you and Laura would just move in here with us." I smile and shake my head, "That would never work." She sits up and looks at me, "Why not? Mom and dad would not care and we all miss you and we all love Laura like a sister anyway." I laugh and shake my head, "Delly, she would never go for it. We will just keep coming around." She pouts and crosses her arms looking at the wall.

I hear my phone go off signaling it is Laura by the ringtone. I watch Rydel smile wide as I hit answer and place it to me ear, "Hey Baby." I see Rydel bounce slightly, "Give me the phone." I wave my hand and smile, "That is great. So everything is fun?" I hear laugher and then Laura sighing, "Yeah, I love it over here. I just wish you could have came with me." I nod and look at Rydel who is trying to grab my phone. "Me too." I fall off the couch from trying to get Rydel away. "What was that?" I laugh as Rydel gets in the floor and keeps trying to take the phone, "Rydel is trying to take my phone and I fell off the couch." I hear laughter and she goes to say something before I hear Rydel, "LAURA, MOVE IN WITH US. YOU, ROSS AND FLUFFY." She smiles in success as I hear Laura breath, "She wants us to move in with them." I nod and sigh, "Yeah." I hear movement and then, "I wouldn't care to but Ross…" I nod, "I know, I tried to tell her." She sighs again, "Let me talk to her." I look at Rydel waiting patiently for an answer before nodding with a sigh, "She wants to talk to you." I hand the phone over and watch Rydel get up and walk away.

The doorbell dings and I get up off the floor and dust myself off before walking to the door and answering it. I see this guy staring at me bored, "twenty five dollars." I nod and pay him and he hands me the pizza, "Have a good night." He turns and walks away getting in his car and driving away. I laugh and close the door. I walk into the living room and place the pizza's on the living room table. Riker comes down and sees the food. He walks into the kitchen and comes back with plates and cups. Rocky comes out with drinks and I smile as we all sit on the couch and wait for the others.

Everyone is sitting around the living room waiting on Rydel. They all look at me, "What is she doing?" I shrug, "Talking to Laura." They all sigh and lean back in their seats feeling defeated. I shrug, "It shouldn't take long." As if on cue she walks out and hands me a black phone, "She had to go." I nod and watch her sit down on the sofa and sigh. "She explained all the reasons why it wouldn't work. I'm still not happy with this decision but I guess I understand. I just…" She sighs and looks around, "I want you both closer and around more." I nod and look at her, "If you want we can try to do something every week with you guys." Riker nods, "Like a family date night." I laugh but nod, "Yeah." Rydel smiles wide, "Okay. I could go for that." We all get food and put in a movie and sit back and just relax having family time.
