"Manny! JT!" Emma exclaimed as she passed her two oldest friends in the airport.
"Emma!" Manny squealed and dropped her things to go hug her old best friend.
"Omigosh is this Jade?" she asked, hugging the tall girl with the dirty blonde hair.
"Um, hi," said Jade, a little confused.
"I haven't seen you in over 10 years!" Manny exclaimed.
"This is my friend, Lacie," Jade said.
"Hi," Manny said.
"So are these your kids?" Emma asked.
"Well, yes and no," JT answered.
"What do you mean?" Emma questioned.
"They're adopted," Manny whispered to Emma.
"Oh," Emma nodded.
"I can't believe you came, Em," JT said. "I mean you left after junior year."
"Oh, I graduated early," Emma said.
"Oh."
"I've seen you on TV and stuff," Emma said.
"Yeah, I heard about SITE," Manny said, "I can't believe it went national."
"It was hard at first, but," Emma began to trail off. "Jay."
"What?" Manny asked, her old friend had said this in a sort of a whisper.
"I've got to go, mom's waiting," Emma lied and left.
Manny and JT didn't see Jay, so they just continued walking, eventually getting their things and going to hail a cab. They saw a van one with tinted windows that agreed to take them.
"I have another one, but she won't mind, will you?" the cab driver asked the sleeping woman in very back who answered with a snore.
Manny, JT, and their kids loaded into the cab. They had begun driving and the woman began stirring. JT heard something and looked to the woman in the back who had a very familiar face. JT didn't want to come to terms with who it was until she opened her eyes.
"JT?" Liberty asked, bewildered.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
Paige took a deep breath and knocked on her parents' door. She hadn't even spoken to them in about twelve years. The only reason she came was because Terri had convinced her and come with her.
"Paige?" her mom asked as she opened the door.
Paige nodded and her mom embraced her in a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh, Paige," she cried, "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay," Paige said, tears coming to her eyes as well.
"I don't know what came over me," she sobbed. "I didn't want you to run away, I really didn't. I was so angry with you, and I'm so sorry now."
Paige didn't know what to say she wasn't expecting an apology from her mom. She just patted her back while she cried "I'm sorry's" into her shoulder.
"Please, come in, your father will be so happy," she said.
Paige followed her mother into her old home and went over to her father who was reading the newspaper.
"Dad?" she half whispered.
He looked up from his paper and pursed his lips for a second studying her face. His eyes wandered to Terri and Christophe, then to Sophie who was close to Paige and looked quite a bit like her. "Paige," he said finally, then returned to his paper.
"Isn't it wonderful?" her mom asked. "Paige has come back!"
"Yes, I must be going," her dad replied and left the room.
"How about we stay at my house?" Hazel suggested.
"No," Jimmy said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Your mom hates me," Jimmy explained.
"She does not," Hazel persisted.
"No, we'll go to my house," Jimmy said.
"But your parents are never home," Hazel said.
"So?" Jimmy shrugged.
"I don't want to go there," Hazel pouted.
"You're acting like a child, we're going to my house," Jimmy said, rather condescendingly.
"What's wrong, El, you haven't said a word the whole trip?" Craig asked as they got off the plane.
"Nothing," Ellie lied. She got a familiar feeling in her stomach. "I've gotta go to the bathroom." Ellie left, leaving Craig standing there like an idiot.
"Craig?" said a familiar voice behind him.
He spun around to face his first love. "Ashley?"
She ran over to hug him with Grace in her arms. "Oh, Craig, how are you?" she asked with a slight English accent.
"Fine, how are you?" he replied. "Is this your daughter?"
"Yeah," Ashley said, "but her dad just died."
Craig felt guilty at the bit of joy he felt at that news. "I'm sorry," he lied.
"It's okay," she said.
There was a bit of awkward silence, then Ellie came back from her trip to the bathroom.
"Ashley?" she screamed.
"Ellie!" The two friends hugged.
"So what have you been up to?" she asked.
"I'm engaged," she said.
"To who?" Ashley asked.
"Craig!" Ellie replied.
"Oh," Ashley replied, spirits falling. "That's… great."
"Oh, Jay, I just can't wait to go shopping," Ella sighed. "I've never been to Toronto before.
"How are you going to get the money to do this shopping?" Jay asked, knowing.
"Well, you, silly," she replied.
"Right," Jay said.
"Oh, it's so nice to have," Ella began.
"Emma," Jay whispered to himself.
"What?" Ella asked. She looked in the direction, in which Jay was looking and noticed the tall blonde. "So that's how it is?" she asked, hands on her hips.
Jay watched as Emma turned and noticed him. Her eyes grew wide, then she said something to Manny and left. Jay sighed and turned back to his girlfriend and gave her a kiss.
Marco walked through his old hometown debating on whether or not to go over and say hi to his parents. When his dad found out his secret his family disowned him.
He told him to leave and never come back, but now that there was a chance that he was actually straight, they might take him back.
He kicked a rock and turned toward his house. He had to face his parents sooner or later. He preferred later, but now was the time.
