Stepping out of the car I looked around. The house looked the same as it did when I left for college.

"Aunt Cody." Four year old Kyle squealed, jumping into my arms.

"Kyle, kid you've grown. Is your mom and dad home?" I asked looking towards the house.

Kyle nodded and took my hand. He led me into the house and ran towards the kitchen. A minute later Darry walked out wiping his hands on a towel.

"Cody, hey it's great to see ya half-pint. Honey we have a visitor." Darry called over his shoulder.

Alex came out of the kitchen with a wide smile on her face. Her dark hair tied back in a bun. A baby lay against her shoulder asleep.

"Cody, is that you. It has been a long time since you've come home." She said smiling.

"Yeah it has. How are things? You have a new family member, that's cool." I said.

"Her name's Anna Marie. Come sit we need to catch up on old times." Darry said picking up her bags.

"Dar, Alex, I'm home." Pony called walking in.

I stood up and watched Pony's mouth drop. We all sat down and told each other what had been going in the two years that I had been gone. Kyle sat in my lap playing with my bracelets.

"If ya don't mind I'm goin to take a walk, ok." I said.

I quietly walked down the street looking at things that had changed. It was pretty much the same since the last time I was here. When I neared the DX station I saw a red pickup in with Oklahoma City license plate parked in the lot. I smiled and walked to the garage to find Steve and Soda arguing about how to fix a Mustang. Smiling I leaned against the door frame and watched.

"What's a girl hafta do to get service around here?" I asked.

The guys turned around at the sound of my voice. They both had a confused look on their faces.

"Oh come on Soda, Steve, I can't believe you forgot about me already." I said.

"It's been awhile Cody. Glad to see ya again. Why ya here?" Steve asked giving me bear hug.

"Well I wanted to come back home. Is that so wrong?" I asked looking up at him

"Guess what. I was offered the athletic trainer job for the Cowboys." I blurted out.

Soda's mouth dropped while Steve was wide eyed.

"Wow, that's great, I hope you took the job." Soda said, recovering first.

"Yup, I did." I said with a smile.

*** Sorry about the short chapter. I will continue if you want me to.***
