Recap:
Becky and I leave and head back to her house. "Thank you," I say as we pull into the driveway.
"For what?" She asks.
"Getting me to talk to my dad and sisters," I say.
"You called them your sisters and dad," she says with a smile.
I chuckle, "Yeah, I did."

Present
Andrea's POV:
"So, Andrea," Kelley says as I sit on the couch with Becky's arm around me, "When do you go back to England?"
"I go back next week," I respond with a small smile.
It's the night after the game and the girls I'm close with from Utah and Chicago are here.
"Hey, Becky. Is it ok that I invited a friend over? He travelled from Canada and we haven't seen each other in a while," Vero asks as she sits next to Christen.
"Yeah, that's ok," Becky says as I nuzzle myself more into her.
We all continue to talk before the door bell rings. "That must be him, I'll get it," Vero says as she gets up.
We hear some talking and I hear it's in Spanish. I can't make out what they say though since they are so quiet.
"Do you know what they're saying, Andy?" Christen asks.
I just shake my head in response.
"So guys, I want you to meet my close friend, Antonio, but you can call him Tony," Vero says catching my attention.
I slowly look to where Vero is standing and I see him. "Tony?" I ask standing up.
"Drea," he says with wide eyes.
I instantly move to him and hug him. He tightly wraps his arms around me and I feel tears start to fall down my face. I sniffle a little as I push my body more into his embrace.
"You guys know each other?" I hear Vero ask.
"I was Tony's foster sister," I reply pulling away.
Becky has a bright smile on her face and everyone else is in shock. "Tony," I say catching his attention, "There are two very important people I want you to meet."
I look at Becky and she stands up from the couch. "Tony, this is Becky, my girlfriend," I say.
Tony just stares at her but then breaks out into a smile. "You finally got someone, Drea," he says making everyone laugh.
I turn to look at Christen and her eyes slightly widen. She slowly walks over and stands next to me. "And this is my biological sister, Christen," I tell him.
His jaw tightens and he glares at her. "You already hurt her," he says making me tense, "so don't do it again."
Christen nods and Tony relaxes and smiles again. "Do you guys mind if I take her outside so we can catch up?" Tony asks.
"Of course," Becky tells him.
Becky places a kiss on my cheek then Tony and I go to the porch. Once outside Tony pulls me into him again. "I missed you," he says as he rests his head on top of mine.
"I miss you too, Tony. You have no idea," I say as my arms tightly wrap around him.
"So, what have you been up to, Ms. Bronze?" Tony asks pulling away sitting on the steps.
I sit next him and rest my head on his shoulder. "I've been working for the women's football team in England. Of course over these past years Lucy and I have grown closer and closer everyday. I met Becky and I met my biological family," I reply.
"Damn, I missed a lot," he says making me smile.
"Now, what about you?" I ask sitting up.
"What about me?" He asks with a smirk.
"What's been going on with you?"
"Well, I'm married," he says making my eyes go wide.
"You're married?" I shout.
He chuckles, "Yea, I am. Her name is Amelia. We have a two year old son, Logan."
"You have a son! So, I'm technically his aunt," I say with a smile.
Tony laughs and wraps his arm around my shoulders, "Of course you are his aunt."
I smile but it falters when I think of my next question. "What happened with your dad?" I ask making Tony sigh.
"Well after you were adopted, he spiraled down even more. He started to take some anger out on me when I was home from college," Tony says making my breath hitch.
"After some time I didn't come home anymore. Since I was with Amelia I packed up my things and we bought an apartment together. I haven't seen him since," Tony says with a frown.
"I'm sorry, I feel like it's my fault," I tell Tony as I look at the ground.
"Hey, it is not your fault, I promise. He was like that before you came," Tony says.
I look up and my eyes connect with him. "I've been having nightmares again," I tell him, "Everytime it's about him."
"I'm so sorry, Andrea," Tony says pulling me into him.
"I'm happy I got to see you," I say as he holds me.
"Same here, Drea," he says quietly, "Whenever your in Canada let me know."
I chuckle at his words, "Sounds good."

"How was it?" Becky asks next to me as I clean up.
"What? Talking to Tony?" I ask her.
Everyone left about thirty minutes ago so now it's just Becky and I.
"Yes."
"It was fine. We caught up a little," I tell her.
"Only a little? Andrea, you have been telling me almost everyday how much you have missed him. What happened?" Becky asks walking over to me.
I sigh and stop what I'm doing, "He told me that he hasn't talked to David since I was adopted. I feel like it's my fault. I was like a burden to his family."
"Andrea Bronze," Becky says placing her hands on my cheeks, "You are not a burden. You are an amazing and beautiful human being and anyone would be lucky to have you in there life."
"You promise?"
"I promise," Becky says pulling me in for a kiss.
I smile into the kiss and Becky does as well. She pulls me closer to her and wraps her arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around her neck and sink more into the kiss.
We pull away when air becomes a problem and I have a big smile on my face. I rest my forehead against Becky's and she kisses me one last time.
"Thank you," I say as I look into her eyes.
"For what?"
"For making me happy."
Becky's smile grows and she surprises me when she picks me up. I squeal and tighten my arms around her. She walks upstairs and places me on the bed. She then lays next to me a I cuddle into her side.
Becky wraps her arms around me and places a kiss on the top of my head.
"I'm going to miss you," I hear her say.
"I'm going to miss you too. We can plan for when you can come visit or I'll come back," I tell her.
"We better," she says making me laugh.
"Beautiful," Becky says making me confused.
"What?" I ask sitting up and leaving on my arm.
"Your laugh. Everything about you," Becky says making me blush.
"Stop," I say with a smile nuzzling my face into her neck.
"As long as your with me, it's never going to stop," Becky says.
"So forever?" I ask her.
"Forever."
