"Auntie Rory!" I was attacked by a cute little three year old,

"Hi princess!" I hand Peter my empty ice cream cup and bent down to pick up Maya,

"I missed you, auntie,"

"And I missed my princess!" I kiss her all over her face, receiving the laughter she gave, "hey, where's mommy and daddy?"

She pointed to the living room, so we headed that way. Continuing to carry Maya, I see my brother, his wife and our parents sitting on the sofas. I take a seat next to him and hug him with my free arm,

"Hey brother!" I squeal, "I missed you!"

He hugged me back, "Aurora! Its so good to see you,"

Positioning Maya on my leg, "so any new news?"

"Well, Camilla's pregnant." Grandma said as she walked through the living room towards the kitchen,

"Thanks for ruining the surprise grandma!" Liam yelled over his shoulder, she waved him off.

I looked between the two with a smile on my face, "your pregnant? How long? Why is today the day everyone wants to tell me their pregnant!"

"Well, I'm 6 months along," she rubbed her belly and looked at Liam, "with twin boys."

"Whoa, two?" I looked at Maya then back at them, "how though? We don't have multiples in our family,"

"No, we don't but Camilla does," I nodded in understanding,

"Wait, who else told you that their pregnant?" Mom asked,

"The Lawrence's, they are expecting a boy in 3 months." I say,

"Oh, right, I forgot. I'm so happy for them!" Camilla said, "we have a close due date. Aren't they due in January?" she directed the question to Liam and he nodded,

I tickled Mayas stomach and smiled with glee, "you're going to be a big sister and I'm going to be an aunt AGAIN!"

"I know, I'm going to be a grandma for the third time!" Mom said,

"Well damn mom, how many grandkids do you want?" Liam asked,

"Well, I would like ten grandbabies," Me and Liam gave her a shocked look, "Liam is okay, he gave me three, I would like George to pop out one more, Harley needs to get his act together, settle down and give me two grandbabies atleast, and I'm not too worried about Blake and Peter,"

I slowly turned my head to face my mother because she seems to have left my name out, "that leaves you with three grandkids unaccounted for?"

"Hahaha, right. Well, the sooner you and Colton get together I would expect three more but then again knowing you two, you'd most like give me five."

Everyone burst out laughing while I sat there pouting. I look at Peter and Blake who were giggling, "don't think she wont be coming after you two in a few years, so get ready to give her more grandbabies."

Peter instantly went quiet and I knew why. I decided to change the subject off babies,

"Hey, I was curious, whose GMC truck is that parked out front,"

"It's mine!" I heard a deep voice behind me,

I turn to see a strikingly hot man, coming in from the back door! He had blonde hair, that he pulled into a bun and piercing blue eyes; he also has this amazing farmer tan. He was wearing a sleeveless black and red plaid flannel and blue jeans complete with black cowboy boots, but I must tell you, he looked really familiar,

Snap out of it Aurora!

"And who are you?" I set Maya down on the couch and stand up,

"The names Houston!" He extended his hand, which I took in my own and shook it... With both hands.

"Well daddy, you chose great help!"

"Of course, I did!" he kept fidgeting with his gadget,

"So, why did you start working here Houston?" I asked, and I swear I was blushing,

He chuckled, "I just saw you guys needed help on the farm, so I decided to take the job and help. I love the open outdoors and working with animals."

Wow. I shook my head out of the trance he put me in, "Well what days do you come over to work?"

"Just the weekends; Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays." He put his cowboy hat back onto his head, "well I actually have to go. I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Montgomery."

My dad grunted and waved Houston off, "Yeah."

I watched as Houston walked out the door, slightly tilting my head as I watch his firm butt walk right out.

"You are so desperate," I heard a familiar voice, "doesn't it look firm?"

"Yeah," I sigh, sad that his butt is no longer in view. Then I snap out of it when I recognize the voice, "HARLEY!"

I jump on him, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, "well hello to you too, Rory." I heard him laugh,

I open my eyes, to see my worst enemy, I climb off him, "what the fuck is she doing here?"

"She's here to spend Thanksgiving with us," Harley looked between the two of us,

"But why?" I cross my arms over my chest,

"Because she is my girlfriend," he slipped his arm over her shoulder,

"But you just told me you guys broke up a month ago!?" I was devastated at the fact that he got back with this bitch but I'm even more devastated that Kat thinks he is single.

"Yeah, well we talked things through and we are going to give it a second shot." Rebecca spoke up,

I gave her the death glare, "I wasn't talking to you, I was speaking to my brother." I look at Harley, "I'll see you later, I need to call Kat now,"

His face held wonder and curiosity.

I turn, and head upstairs, completely done with todays events. The jetlag from earlier has finally set in and I was feeling tired. I change into my pajamas and hop in bed, before I closed my eyes I sent a quick text to Kat telling her that Harley and Rebecca got back together.

Before I knew it, my eyes were closing and all I can see was darkness.
