forever young

Lindsay sighed, holding back a laugh and rolling her eyes at him. “Sometimes I am surprised you managed to make it all the way through my wedding without throwing something at him,” she pointed out. Lindsay looked at Garrett and nodded, feeling exactly the same way. “Come on, I know how to lift both our spirits,” she said, offering her hand to him. 

“i was having fun being more drunk than i’ve ever remembered being. i can’t recall anything after crying my eye’s out seeing you in a wedding dress coming down the isle.”

Alethia caught Kat as she squirmed out of kate’s grip, planting a kiss on her other cheek before letting her go with a chuckle, offering Kate a hand so they could high-five. “10 out of 10 parenting, if you ask me.”

“Sorry, baby,” Alethia apologized down to Kat, however soon enough she was returning Kate’s kiss without any inhibitions. Kat sighed and rolled her eyes, pushing the shopping cart down the alley and away from the happy couple.  

“you are right. how did I ever live a single day without you?” Lindsay returned, laughing as he ruffled her hair before groaning. “Please don’t ever call Evan a ‘big squirt’ to his face,” she said with a chuckle, wrinkling her nose. “Alice is off with Noah, and Evan is bringing our stuff to our cabin… god, isn’t that such a weird thing to say?”

      “A tiny fender bender? Either you weren’t completely aware of your surroundings or I’m the most logical parent of you and Matt.”

“There was a long line!” Lindsay said, rolling her eyes before giving in and reaching to hug Garrett. “Fine, I missed you too.”

“Does that mean you’ll make me some dinosaur chicken nuggets?”

“mama please,” Kat hissed at Kate, rolling her eyes. “We are at the grocery store…” Kat insisted, looking at Alethia sternly. Alethia grinned, wrapping an arm around Kate and kissing her cheek. “I don’t know why we came since we always have snacks at home when your mama is around,” Alethia joked with a wink. 

“That might be my fault, actually. We watched Home Alone last time Alex came over,” Lindsay said with a chuckle. “How’s Eric?”

“I’m hungry,” Matt said with a grin, walking up to his dear friend. “Does that not matter at all?”

         “Once? Should we talk about the time I had to stop a lawsuit from happening?” 

       “I mean…am I wrong, should i bring up the times where I had to make sure you and Matt didn’t die?”

Lindsay smiled brightly, hugging Beca tightly. Even though they had seen each other recently and talked on the phone every other day, nothing compared to being together again. “How was your flight?” 

“Shall we…” Ayden extends his arm to lace through hers. “Maybe that one French restaurant is still open. That’d be a silver lining of coming back here.” 

“and thank the gods it doesn’t,” alethia said with a wink. 

        “You know…that possibly could work…we should do that, make it a bros night…but I feel like I would be taking care of the both of you.”

“Sounds like me,” Ayden simpered, tilting his head. “Speaking of… did you have lunch yet?” 

“no i haven’t! are you thinking what i’m thinking?”
