Val: but I still have enough waffles on my plate to feed a small country. want some waffles?

AJ woke up the next morning with Devin curled up next to him. He stretched, groaning as he opened his eyes. He looked at his watch and realized it was already 7am. He leaned over and kissed Devin on the neck. “Good Morning, babe.” He whispered. “We gotta get up and head out if we wanna make the flight.”

AJ just heard the news about Devin having twins, and he was fighting every urge to not bounce around the room with happiness. He sat on his bed, hugging his pillow and trying not to freak out at the same time.

AJ sat out on the deck, nervous as hell. He wanted to pace, but knew that was impossible with the little boot that was on his foot. His fingers were tightly intertwined, thinking about what Devin might say made him want to get on a plane and fly home.

AJ had gotten in late last night, and he was falling asleep as he walked. Brian asked him to come and lay out on the deck with him and Carlos, and Devin encouraged him to go out. He complied, but on his way out to the deck, he saw how comfy the floor looked and he laid down and fell asleep. When he woke the next morning, he was covered in a blanket. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, looking around the room. Nobody was in the area, it was just him. He grabbed the blanket, wrapping it around his body, and started walking up the stairs to his room.

AJ Sat in the driveway of the lakehouse, his fingers drumming on the steering wheel. “Where the hell is Devin?” He muttered to himself. He was very on edge from the events of the days prior, and he just wanted to get away. Away from everything and everyone. Everyone besides Devin.

AJ hung up the phone as he heard footsteps lightly coming down the hallway. He smiled ti himself as he got up and opened the window  and turned off the lights, hiding in the closet, hoping she would think he jumped out the window. He was excited to see Devin again, now that they figured out what was going on. He was also excited to give her a little scare as she came in the room.

AJ had been out on the beach since early that afternoon drinking his problems away. By this time, he had drank well over what he should have. He kicked some sand onto the little bonfire that was left and stumbled up the beach to the lakehouse. As he tripped his way up the stairs to his room to find the movie, he ran into almost everything along the way. He finally found the movie and began searching for Devin’s room. “Devin? Deeeeeeeeeviiiin! Where are you?” He whispered drunkenly.
