"Me too," Noah added.

"Alright. Sadie, here's your remote," Finn said, handing her a light teal remote.

"Thank you, my lord," Sadie joked, taking the remote from Finn and standing up from the couch.

"And you, Caleb," Finn walked to the other boy playing, and gave him a red remote.

"Why thank you kind sir," Caleb laughed, taking the remote and standing up as well.

"And last but certainly not least, here you go, Mills," Finn said, his voice softening as he approached me with a white remote.

"Thanks babe," I said casually. All head turned on me, five pairs of wide eyes in the state of clear shock.

"What-" Caleb blurted.

"Oh my God-" Gaten said, holding fist fulls of his hair in his hands.

"Did she just-" Sadie started.

"She did-" Noah finished.

"Babe?"  Finn looked at me in confusion, curiosity, and softness.

"Babe," I confirmed in a whisper.

"Babe," he repeated with a smile, grabbing my hands to hold gently in his.

"OH GOD JUST KILL ME NOW! THIS IS TOO DAMN ADORABLE!" Sadie exclaimed, rolling onto the floor until she reached the 'coffin pose.'

"Let's just play," Caleb brought us all back to the task.

"Alright. What games do you have?" I asked, letting go of Finn's hands to help Sadie up from the floor.

"Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Cart, Just Dance one," Finn listed off.

"JUST DANCE ONE!?" I exclaimed, and he nodded slowly.

"Oh God not Just Dance," Caleb face palmed.

"Come on Mario Cart is fun," Sadie whined.

"I think Just Dance could be fun. Just think of it as quick round of nostalgia," Finn sided with me, and I felt protected.

"Exactly! Now where's the disk?" I asked, and Finn bent over beside the TV to open a cabinet full of video games. He skimmed his hand over a full shelf of Wii games, then pulled out the case for our game.

"Here it is," he said, mostly to himself before opening the disk reader and setting the silver circle in place.

The Wii started up, making it's familiar sound that brought me back to my childhood.

"Okay, let's do this," Sadie said as Finn selected the game.

"How come you get to be player one?" Caleb whined.

"Because it's my house!" Finn shot back childishly with the goofy grin I liked.

"Settle down guys," Noah tried to input.

"Okay, now to choose a song," Finn mumbled.

"Can't go wrong with Katy Perry's Hot n' Cold," I suggested.

"I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT!" Sadie requested, raising her voice.

"WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!" Caleb screamed over us.

"YES!" I exclaimed, so excited and overjoyed. Charlie and Paige and I used to do this one all the time!

"ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTS, HERE WE GO!" Finn announced, and then the iconic dog in the red shirt appeared on the screen.

"Who let the dogs out?"  The Baha Men sounded over the speaker.

"WHO WHO WHO WHO!" We all belted in unison, flailing our limbs to the choreography.
