A/N: Another update! I'm starting to get back into this story again and I have so many plans for these characters so I really hope there's at least one person reading. If you are, please leave a review! Next update coming soon...I hope!


Andy was setting up his office at the law firm he was currently working at. It was a new practice, Andy being the most recent member, and most people were just sinking their feet in.

He set down a picture frame with a photo of him and Julie before she passed and one of him, Gabrielle, Sophia, Jared and baby Cameron when he was born. A photo slipped out of the back of the frame and Andy picked up, sighing when he saw who was in the picture. It was him and Alex sitting on the hood of his car during their trip to Chicago.

"Girlfriend?"

He looked up and saw Sarah, his secretary walking in.

He looked down at the picture then back up at Sarah. "No… well, she used to be," he shook his head. "I don't know how this picture got in here," he said, putting it back in the box.

"The past has a funny way of creeping up on you sometimes," she said. He looked at her curiously. She giggled. "There's a Sophia here for you. Said she was an old friend."

He smiled when he saw her walk in.

"Thanks Serena," he nodded and the girl quickly walked out.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he hugged her.

"One of my couples are getting married here so I was just scouting some locations and I thought I'd stop by, come see the new place," she said. "It looks great Andy, I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks," he smiled.

Sophia began looking around and picked up the picture frame. "Aw, this was the day Cam was born!"

"Yeah," he nodded. "Things can change in five years, huh?"

She nodded. "I was dating Jared, you hated me and Gabby actually spoke to me!"

He laughed. "And I was dating Alex…"

"Speaking of," she said, reaching into the box and taking the photo Andy had been staring at just a few minutes before. "Taking a trip down memory lane?"

"Like I said," he looked at her. "I really don't know how that got in here."

"Andy," she sighed. "Do you still have feelings for her?"

"Oh Sophia," he laughed. "You know, not every relationship ends super dramatically and tragically, you know?" He said. "Sure, Alex and I had a bad break-up but it was five years ago, I'm over it and I'm sure she is too." She nodded. "So what's this about Gabby hating you? I thought it was getting better."

Nope," she sighed. "I don't know what I'm going to do, Andy."

"Have you ever tried talking to her?" He suggested.

"Plenty of times," she said. "She just won't budge."

"Well, I'm sure she'll come around eventually."

"I hope." She nodded.


Jeremy walked into he and Melanie's apartment after work. He could hear her crying from the living room and sighed. They hadn't spoken much since she'd come home from the hospital a few days ago and he was starting to get tired of seeing her like this.

He walked into the bedroom and saw her curled up in a ball on the bed, crying. She turned around when she heard the door open and they looked at each other for a few seconds before Melanie ran and jumped into his arms.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered. He squeezed her. "I know I've been horrible I just-"

"No, stop," he said, pulling her away. She looked at him. "You have every right to be sad, and to be angry."

"You do too," she nodded. "Especially at me."

"I'm not," he shook his head. "This isn't your fault, it's no one's… it just happens." She nodded. "We can keep trying if that's what you want."

"It's what I want," she smiled. "But not right away, OK?"

He nodded and hugged her again. "I just want to make you feel better. What can I do?"

"You're already doing it," she smiled for the first time in days, and then kissed him softly.


Sophia sat in the lobby of one of the hotels she was checking out for the wedding she was currently planning. She was putting together a few pictures and cut outs from different venues, center pieces and other things that went with the Copacabana them her couple wanted. Her cell phone rang and as she reached over to grab it, she saw that it was Ryan.

"Hey babe!" She said, excitedly. As much as she loved her job, she hated being apart from him. It hadn't been has hard lately since he wasn't traveling because of his injury but usually, they spent less and less time together.

"Hey Soph," he said. "I miss you."

"I miss you too," she smiled. "But I'm having so much fun and I saw Andy today at his new firm."

"Really?" He asked. "How's he doing?"

"Good! He's getting all settled in," she explained. "Anyway, you'll never guess where I am right now…"

"Where?" He asked, suspiciously, a smile growing on his face.

"The Kimpton Hotel!" She exclaimed, remembering the time they stayed there last year.

"You know this goes completely against the team rules?" Ryan said, as he and Sophia kissed outside of her hotel room. His team had just beat Chicago and she wanted to reward him.

"Oh please," she said, in between kisses. "I see all the girls the team picks up after the games… At least I'm your girlfriend!"

"True," he nodded, kissing her neck. "That could be even more dangerous though." He smirked.

She laughed. "Well, I guess you're just going to have to take a risk."

He grinned as he opened the door and pulled her in. They spent the night making love.

"That was definitely a fun night," he said. "I wish we could still do stuff like that."

"We can," she said. "It just won't be as spontaneous and dangerous, but it'll still be us."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." He said.

"Ryan," she sighed.

"Sorry, being positive…" He said, sarcastically.

"You're ruining my good mood and my couple just walked in so, I have to go, OK?" He was silent. "I love you."

"Love you too," he said. "Come home soon."

She hung up the phone, collected her things and approached the couple.


Later that night, Andy walked into a bar. He was supposed to meet a few of his friends but none of them had showed up yet. He walked over to the bar and ordered a drink. He spotted a girl across the bar and he froze when he saw Alex sitting by herself. It had to be her, those eyes were one of a kind.

He took a deep breath and got up to go talk to her but stopped when he saw another guy approach her. He felt disappointed when he saw her kissing that guy, who was probably her boyfriend. He took another sip of his beer and left.
