He was finally breaking free. He had become his own person and our love had truly blossomed and changed us for the better. He helped me to see that life was worth living and I helped him to see than he was more than what society gave him credit for. That is why our love was so strong. We had an unshakable bond, one that had yet to be tested even Jay, with all of his remarks and antics had never broken us before. The questions the stares only made our love for each other that much stronger. He was the only one who ever really got me.

"She said yes!" Jay smiled for the first time in a long time. "Dude, I ..."

"Forget about it man you and Alex are like family to us, it's nothing."

"Oh what you thought I was going to thank you." Jay laughed.

"See that's my cue to hang up." Sean laughed, "I'll see you at work tomorrow."

"Later man," Jay hung up his cell phone and made eye contact with Alex for the first time that evening. "See, I told you she would say yes. Sean has my back."

"I still can't believe you are making them deal with our issues. I don't like asking for hand outs, even if it is from some of my closest friends." Alex was not happy, she felt like she was going to be invading Ellie and Sean's space and risking their friendship by living together. Since when did Jay make their decisions, and without even asking her first.

"Lexie, you and me, we got this. We aren't going to be living in their house for the rest of our lives, just until I can get some money saved up. Then we will be out of there, ok. I love you, so suck it up because we are going to start moving our stuff in tomorrow." Jay gave Alex a quick kiss before heading to their bedroom to start sorting through his closet.

"Now you love me, last week it was a different story." Alex said coldly as she processed the quick embrace she had just received.

"Lexie you know we will have our fights, but no matter what happens we are going to come back together. You forgave me for everything else. I forgave you for Blondie." Jay said as he carried some things out to the couch and then retreated back to the closet.

"Lets not bring up the past tonight," Alex said quietly.

"Whatever," Jay said as he grabbed a box from the kitchen and took it back to their room.

"Are we going to tell the landlord where we are going." Alex asked now sitting down and flipping through a magazine.

"Are you kidding, as far as he knows we're moving to Timbuktu." Jay yelled from the bedroom. "I'm not telling him jack. Why? So he can kick us out and then try to charge us back rent, screw him."

"Just checking," Alex shook her head and laughed, she would never understand why she still loved him so much. She looked around the little apartment and sighed, guess it was time to start packing.

"Don't worry about it Alex, Sean's right you and Jay are like family."Ellie reassured Alex for the fifth time that next day. "There are a lot of positives to this situation. With the four of us we would have two cars so we can take Sean's car to work and Sean and Jay can take his. It will be easier on all of us, splitting the bills, the house work, in the end we will all save so much money. Plus, Mykel loves you." Ellie smiled, maybe she was just being paranoid last night. This would be great, like one big happy family.

"Elle I don't want you to think you are giving us anything we are going to pay you and watch Mykel whenever you want. I'll kick Jay's ass if he messes any of this up Elle, I promise."

"You are seriously like family Alex, and my house is your house too. I mean if the situation was reversed I know you would do it for Sean and I." Ellie said as she finished up her paper work.

"So you did you hear," Alex started conveniently changing the subject.

"Uh- hear what?" Ellie asked slightly confused at Alex's change in behavior.

"Craig is back in town." Alex said nonchalantly.

"What!!!Um wow, do you know for how long?" Ellie said suddenly becoming pale.

"No, I just know what I heard, but the word on the street is he is asking around for you Elle, he misses you." Alex looked up from her desk and raised an eyebrow, there was no way in the world Ellie could have feelings for Craig still, at least she better not have.

"Well that's nice, I hope he knows how much has changed since he left." There was a twinge of resentment in her voice.

"Oh not much Elle, besides the fact that you got married and had a baby not in that particular order of course," Alex said sarcastically.

"Whatever Alex it's almost four. Lets start packing up so I can pick Mykel up from the daycare."

"Hey how's she doing on the monster bit." Alex asked curiously.

"Surprisingly she didn't wake up once last night," Ellie smiled. "Sean and I were able to finally have some private time together."

" So in other words you had sex," Alex laughed. Ellie shook her head, it was definitely time for her to go home.

"Hey mommy, hey auntie," Mykel said happily. "I get my picture taken today."

"What do you mean sweetie?" Ellie said as she hugged her daughter, who had bombarded her the minute she walked into the daycare center.

"I get picture when we go play." Ellie looked at Mykel and then back to the director of the hospital daycare.

"Oh now Kelly, we have quite the imagination today don't we. I assure you Ellie, I watched all of the kids today myself at recess, they were fine we were inside the gate. I bet someone is excited about their birthday coming up soon, three is a big year Kelly, and it's common for your imagination to run away with you." The daycare director smiled and gave Ellie a reassuring look.

"I do get picture mommy, Mr. camera man take it, he was really nice." Mykel whined as she reached her arms up so Ellie could pick her up and carry her to the car.

"Of course you did baby," Ellie was starting to get worried, her child wasn't that crazy and she was more than paranoid. Something very creepy was going on, and she and Sean were going to get to the bottom of it.
