A/N: Hey ya'll! SO sorry that I haven't been able to update in like….forever…..i had internet problems! Hopefully that's the end of them though and I can get back to my regular writing schedule. Anywho…I would like to give props to Keira, RKOxLegendkiller, for keeping me motivated when I was ready to throw in the towel. Keep in mind that my writing is a little rusty considering I haven't written since February.

THE JOURNEY

CH 21

After everyone ate, Trish offered them the guest bedrooms at her house. She conveniently put Stephanie, Paul, Torrie, & John downstairs and Randy in the upstairs one. "I hate to say goodnight, but I have a meeting tomorrow morning so I should probably get some sleep." Trish hugged her best friends before going up the stairs.

Just as she had finished brushing her teeth, she saw John sitting on her bed.

"John, do you need something?" She asked politely.

"Nope…just wanted to talk to you." He replied. "I haven't held an actual conversation with my baby sister in almost six years."

"I know." She sighed as she lowered her head. "I thought I was doing what was best for everyone but instead I just made things worse."

"Aw Trishy." He hugged her. "The important thing is we're all together now. Its just like we were in college…except now we're a little older and have kids."

"True." Trish laughed. "So tell me about this little Anthony."

"Well….Torrie and I got married about 5 months before he was born. It was a small wedding in Venice."

"Weddings depress me John…I said tell me about Anthony."

"Right right." He nodded as he appeared to be in deep thought. "Well…He's two years old." He declared as silence swept the room.

"Well thank you John. I'm sure that took a lot of time for you to piece together."

"Hey!" He laughed defensively.

"John! Leave Trish alone!" Torrie yelled from the staircase. "I need you to put Ant to bed!"

"Coming!" He rolled his eyes before leaving Trish to herself. She laughed before changing into her silky pink camisole and matching pants.

"Hey." Randy appeared I her doorway.

"Hey." Trish smiled at him. "Oh…here, these are yours." She handed him a photo album.

"Thanks." He hugged her for her gesture.

"Trish, um…I uh…I've been meaning to ask you something. I was planning on asking you when I found you, but that took a little longer than I expected." He laughed nervously.

"Sure what is it?" Trish asked cautiously.

"Ti, will you marry me?" He asked as he dropped down to one knee and held out a beautiful diamond ring. Trish immediately went bug eyed.

"Randy I don't know what to say." Trish smiled.

"Yes would be a good start." Randy smiled back at her.

"Randy……." Trish bit her lower lip.
