The Camden's Surprise

"Hey, is anyone home?" Matt yelled as he opened his paretns front door.

"Yeah, the gangs all here, except you of course. Everyone's fawning over Mary and how much they've missed her and wanted her home. Not much to hear about. This weekend is pretty much Mary's nothing more. Oh, and of course, the constant talk about how Simon couldn't make it and he's not answering anyone's calls." said Ruthie. Ruthie was the youngest girl in the house. She was a real rebel.

"Someone sounds really pleased to see me!" said Matt. "Can a big brother get a hug anyway?" Matt opened his arms and went to hug Ruthie. "I've missed you you know?"

"I've missed you too Matt, you always brought order to us kids when you were around." Ruthie smiled and went back off into the family room where everyone was sitting around talking ot Mary.

Just then Simon walked in.

"Nice to be late walking in. Ruthie just went in to tell them that I was here and that you never made it." said Matt.

"What?" Simon said with a look of anger on his face. "Could I help the fact that not only did I have to take my luggage, I had to take yours too?"

"Oh" Matt laughed in embarrasment. "Sorry about that!"

At that, Annie walked into the kitchen with a sad look on her face. When she saw Simon standing in the door way a tear came to her eye and she ran to him smiling.

"Simon, I didn't think you were going to make it, you had me all depressed and worried. How have you been?" His mother hugged into hiom and wouldn't let go.

"I've been better... way better!" Simon said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Annie. "You don't thinky ou'll enjoy it home with your family."

"No" said Simon. "The problem is, I know I'll enjoy it home here." Annie smiled and hugged Simon even tighter.

"ERIC, KIDS, SIMON CAME HOME" Annie yelled into the family room. It gave Simon enough time to escape from her grip. All the kids came out into the kitchen to great Simon.

"Simon!" said Ruthie coming out of the family room. "You came home! I've missed you so much." She went and gave Simon a hug.

"Hey, you're getting stronger lady, you're gonna have to loosen your grip long enough for me to drop this luggage" Simon giggled. It was the first time in a long time that he's done that.

"Hi Simon" said Sam and David together. They were twins and the youngest of the family.

"Simon, We've missed you" said Sam.

"And we love you" said David. Simon could feel a tear come to his eye. He loved these little guys too, but the way his life was going, he hated it. He felt bad knowing these two little kids looked up to him and thought of him as a role model. Yet, his life was complete crap at this moment. He couldn't let these kids see him like this.

"Well, I guess I'll get my stuff upstairs" said Simon holding back tears. He picked up his suitecase and headed up stairs.

"I'm so happy" Lucy aid and turned to Kevin and hugged him. "Everything his working out has planned."

"I told you to have faith in the big guy didn't I?" said Kevin with a smile on his face.
