The elevator dinged as it reached the 11th floor and Sharon came out of it, carrying a paper bag full of toiletries Rusty told her he absolutely needed her to buy for him before she got home from work. She walked towards the door of her condo and balanced the paper bag in one arm as she fished the keys from her purse and unlocked the door. She walked into her dark condo and turned on the light.

"Surprise!" she heard the sound before she saw the people who waited for her in the living room. She took a step back, slightly startled by the unexpected presence.

"What are you doing here?" It took her a moment to regroup herself and she practically ran inside the living room and swept her two older children into a warm embrace.

"Rusty here thought that we should all celebrate now that we've officially become a family, so we decided to throw you a surprise party," Emily said.

"Yeah, he cooked and baked a cake and he even left your kitchen clean," Ricky added as he leaned and kissed his mother's cheek.

"I'm so happy to see you, but you didn't need to go through the trouble of travelling all the way here; we're supposed to see each other again in two weeks anyway. You could have just waited for Christmas."

"Well, about that…" Emily said, wearing an excited smile. "We need to apologize."

"Apologize? Why?" Sharon asked, hoping that it didn't mean that they won't spend the holidays with her and Rusty.

"Well, we just figured, your house is going to be very crowded over the next two weeks, so we should apologize for the lack of privacy and space our presence is going to cause." Emily said, smiling at Rusty and then turning to smile at Ricky.

"You're staying until after the holidays? The both of you?" The smile that spread on Sharon's face was enormous when her two older children nodded.

"I didn't really get to meet Rusty and it's been a while since Ricky and I saw each other, so… yeah. We should probably spend some time together and bond and whatnot." Emily added.

"That's great, I can't believe you guys did this, it's so wonderful to have you here!" Sharon called out in excitement.

"It was really Rusty's idea," Ricky said.

"Thank you, Rusty," Sharon smiled at her youngest son.

"There's just one thing before we sit and have dinner," Rusty said and turned to Ricky.

"Yeah… you know how you have a photo of you and Emily and dad on the desk in your office?" Ricky asked and Sharon nodded. "Well, the thing is – dad is not really in the picture and he's never really been and also we have a new brother now and that photo is kind of old and we have horrible 90's hair so we should take a new photo – 'The Raydor Family 2.0', you know?"

"Yeah, sure, we can go to a photographer tomorrow and get our picture taken," Sharon replied.

"Uh, no." Rusty and Ricky said in unison and Sharon wondered if they practiced it.

"What do you mean?" Sharon asked.

"Well, we have a little helper here who's gonna take our photo now," Ricky said and Buzz came out of Rusty's room, walked down the corridor and entered the living room, holding a huge camera.

"Oh, Buzz. Did they make you wait in there for the entire time?" Sharon asked and walked over to him, placing her hand on his arm.

"We bribed him with Rusty's dinner," Emily said.

"They didn't bribe me, Captain. I'm happy to be here and take your first family photo," Buzz said with a shy smile.

"And we're happy to have you over for dinner," Sharon said. Buzz nodded appreciatively.

"Okay, so let's do this thing," Emily called out cheerfully. They posed for the photo: Sharon between Rusty and Ricky and Emily next to Rusty.

"Ready? On three say ''Cheers'. Okay?" Buzz said. "One, two, three!"

"Cheers!"
