I'm back! I know I need to update but I have so many ideas in my head, I can't concentrate sometimes.

Date: February 21, 2006

"Come on, Torrie. We need to leave soon!" Stacy yelled as she waited inside the car.

"I'm coming! I just need to get Avery!" Torrie yelled back.

Stacy slumped in the front seat, her son in her arms. She was waiting for Torrie to drop her off at her neighbor's house. Amy's wedding was in a couple of days and she needed to find someone to watch over her son while she was gone. Her husband was out of town so he couldn't take Austin with him.

A few minutes later, Torrie walked out, holding her little girl in her arms. With her bag slung over her shoulders, she headed towards the car.

"What took you so long?" Stacy asked as she poked her head out the window.

"Sorry. I just wanted to make sure Avery had everything she needed before we go. Peter's gonna pick her up at your neighbor's," Torrie said before she strapped Avery in her car seat.

Torrie got in the driver's seat and closed the door. She put the keys in the ignition and cut on the engine to the SUV. She pulled off in the street and drove.

"So, have you heard from any of the girls lately?" Torrie asked as she kept her eyes on the road.

"Trish and I talked on the phone yesterday. She was actually flying down there. Lisa e-mailed me; saying she's driving. Gail's also flying. She told me her and Randy are getting married," Stacy informed her best friend.

"Are you serious? Randy really wanna settle down with her now? What happened?" Torrie was surprised.

"Rowan changed him. That baby had him wrapped around his chubby little finger. He's the best." Stacy chuckled.

"Didn't you used to have a crush on Randy at one point?" Torrie asked, her face scrunched up in confusion.

Stacy smiled."I did. But, he didn't see me like that. I was just a friend to him. Really, he's been really pinning for Gail since freshman year."

Suddenly, Austin and Avery started crying. Torrie and Stacy groaned but they couldn't pull over just yet. Stacy's neighbor's house was just a few more blocks.

"Thank you again, Maria. We couldn't someone to watch over the kids at the last minute," Torrie said as she handed Avery over to Stacy's neighbor.

The petite raven-haired beauty smiled. "It's no problem. Ashley and Michael would love Avery and Austin's company. My husband wouldn't mind having them

Stacy handed her a piece of paper. "These are the number where we can be reached. Also, Amy has a computer so you can e-mail me, too. Torrie's e-mail is also there."

"That's cool. I'm sure you two need to get going so you won't miss your flight. Call me when you get settled in," Maria said with a smile.

"Thank you very much. We'll call you soon," Stacy said before she and Torrie headed down the stairs to the car.

After Maria closed the door, Stacy turned around and sighed deeply. She missed her son already and she hadn't left yet.

"Hey, I miss Avery, too. But, we'll be back for them, all right?" Torrie assured her with a grin.

Stacy smiled at what she said and got in the car.

Next up, Lisa!
