Two years later, The Morgan family moved back to Samantha and Ross's hometown of Whitechapel. As Ross unpacked the last of his things, he received a call from an old friend of his and Samantha's.
"So I heard you two moved back home. Care to make some time for a couple of old friends?" the voice on the phone questioned.
"Jim Weir! I can't believe it, it's been too long" Ross practically shouted, laughing giddily. "I'm so sorry I haven't called much, there's just been so much with work and Ethan and—" Jim cut him off.
"Don't worry, I get it. With Benny and everything, Celeste and I get it. I mean it's not like you're the only one at fault. Life gets busy."
Ross laughed it off "Just a reflex I guess, so what were you saying about us coming over?"
"Any time's fine, as soon as you get settled. I'm sure Benny would love having someone to play with around here"
Ross hung up the phone and found his wife in Ethan's room, helping him fold his clothes and put them away.
"How would you feel about getting together with some old friends?" He asked with a smirk.
"Which friends are we talking about because if we're talking about your old college friends—"
"No, Jim and Celeste, and we can even take Ethan over and he can play with Benny" Ross ruffled his son's hair "How would you like to go play with a new friend, champ?"
Ethan grinned "Yeah!" He shouted. For a five year old he was surprisingly well mannered, and could get along with almost anyone.
"We can stop over there right after dinner" Samantha agreed. "And I'm sure Ethan will have a wonderful time playing with Benny"
The small family walked across the street to find their old friends and their son, around the same age as Ethan, playing in the yard.
"Ross, you handsome devil!" Jim gave Ross a bear hug "And Samantha, as lovely as the last time I saw you" Samantha blushed slightly
"Amazing to see you again, Celeste" Samantha reached over to give her a hug.
"And this little guy must be Benny" Ross said, noticing the brown haired boy hiding behind his father.
Ross whispered to Ethan "Bud, why don't you go play with Benny?" Ethan nodded and ran over to make a new friend.
He stuck out his hand, and the other boy stared at it with hesitation, but with a slight nudge from his own dad he grabbed Ethan's hand.
"I have some Legos, we can make a castle!" Benny grinned from ear to ear.
"And it can have a drawbridge and a moat and everything" the two boys ran over to play with their blocks while the adults watched them, enamored.
"See, they'll be best friends" Ross punched Jim in the shoulder.
"Like fathers like sons I guess" Celeste giggled. "So what's the occasion?"
"What do you mean?" Samantha asked.
"Why did you move back?"
"I got a new job, and we wanted Ethan to go to the same schools that we all did" Ross answered. "I'll be working mostly from home so I can look after him more"
Jim smiled "Well no matter what, I'm glad we got the old gang back together"
