"Ren!" Eileen said hugging Ren.
"Mom.grip.to.tight," Ren said trying to push her mom off. Steve came in and picked up Regina.
"How's my girl?" Steve asked.
"Your girl is just fine daddy," Ren answered. Steve looked at her oddly.
"Not you! Regina!" Ren raised an eyebrow at him and he laughed and gave Ren a kiss on the head. She took off her coat and hung it up. She walked into the kitchen and saw Tawny, now Tawn, reading a magazine. She was standing behind the counter eating a carrot.
"Hey Tawn," Ren said. Tawny looked at her and smiled.
"Ren!" Tawny said stepping out from behind the counter. Ren gasped. Tawny's tummy was the size of a basketball.
"Tawn, your pregnant again!" Ren said hugging her. Tawny smiled and nodded.
"Lou thought that Regina should have another little brother or sister right about now so, ta-da!" she said touching her stomach. Louis came in and put his arm around Tawny.
"Ren, Don is also here," Louis said. Ren's eyes widened.
"He is?" she said looking around. Eileen entered the room.
"Yes Ren, Don is here, DON!" she called out.
"Yea mom?" a voice from upstairs said a minute later.
"Would you mind coming down here?" she asked him. There was a big bang from upstairs, it sounded like Donnie had stomped his foot.
"MOM! I'm busy! I told you I would be down in an hour!" Some stomping then a door slammed. Tawny leaned into Ren.
"Him and his beautiful girlfriend are up there," she said. Ren nodded and looked towards the stairs.
"Well, im going to go put my stuff away!" she said picking up her suitcase. Eileen nodded and Louis followed Ren upstairs.
"Im sorry I didn't tell you about Tawny being pregnant."
"It's okay, just wow, im going to be an aunt.again. Wow," she said putting some clothes in a draw. She looked at Louis, "My god! Where is the baby?" Louis looked at her then snapped back.
"O, she.we thought she was to little to travel so she is at home."
"I don't even have any pictures of her yet, and she's what now? 1 and a half?" Ren said angered.
"We haven't gotten any pictures of her done yet," Louis said holding one of Ren's old stuffed animals. Ren shook her head and put her brush on her old dresser. Louis was about to say something when they heard people in the hallway. It was a girl laughing and a guy talking.
"Is your sister here yet?" the voice asked.
"I don't think so," the other voice said. It sounded like Donnie.
"Oh, cause I was looking forward to meeting her," the girl said again. Ren looked at Louis.
"That sounds like Ruby!" Ren said shocked. Louis looked at Ren with a weird expression.
"Actually, her name is Rube." Louis looked at the ground. Ren sprung up and went to the doorway.
"Im here, hello and you are?" Ren said almost at once. The girl looked Ren over twice.
"Well at least one of us changed in 15 years, a change for the better," Rube said. Ren glared at her.
"Ren, its me Ruby!" Donnie got wide-eyed.
"Your as old as my sister?" He asked in awe. Louis got up and walked downstairs, not wanting to get into anything.
"Ruby?" Ren said. She opened her arms out for a hug. "I didn't even recognize you!"
"Yeah, and that's a good thing. And please keep your arms away from me!" Rube said as she walked downstairs. Donnie moved next to Ren.
"Ren, im so sorry! I didn't even know she was Ruby!"
"Yea, are you going to the reunion with her?" Donnie looked confused.
"Is that why she wanted to come to meet my parents this week?" he asked himself walking downstairs. Ren fell onto her bed. She couldn't believe how much everyone changed. She pulled out her middle school yearbook and began to flip through it. She took out a gold pen and looked for Larry's picture. She found it and uncapped the marker. She found a few names and wrote something down to all of them.
LARRY -Single, cute, nicer
LOUIS - Married, two kids, one more coming. MATURE!
REN - Boring, single, lonely, wants love
She crossed out wants love, she wasn't that pathetic.
TAWNY- Pregnant, married, happy
RUBY- Snobby, tall, beautiful
She closed the book and shut off the light. It was a long day, and tomorrow wasn't looking much better.
