My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 32

Emilio's POV:
(Present, same day the lat chapter was talking about.)

The year is already over.

I can't believe it! Everything went extremely fast and I was overwhelmed with all the sudden events that had happened. Just university itself was very different. Also I can't forget when my best friend just suddenly became a father to an absolutely wonderful baby. Everything with Alison and her parents, just a lot of stuff.

With all of that, I managed to graduate!

That, my friends, is a huge accomplishment.

Today is going to be such an exciting day.

So as everyone back in California knows, AJ, Dylan, Ethan and I will be back in about a week. But what they don't know is that Tyler and the boys including me have set a surprise, and we will be returning tonight. At 9pm to be exact.

And yeah you probably already know, but I'm finally going to see my Cupcake again. We have been calling and texting much more recently, she especially keeps sending me count down texts every morning.

This morning, she sent me a '6 days left' text.

But what she doesn't know is that it's only a couple of hours and she'll be in my arms again.

I'm also really happy we can finally have a relationship since Dylan now knows about us. It would also be much easier because she's going to the same university here in New York for her first year.

"Emilio, can you help me pack Ethan's stuffed animals?!" AJ calls, sounding clearly struggled.

I go to where AJ and Ethan are and find Ethan sitting on the floor with his favorite elephant plushie beaming with happiness.

"Dang AJ, you seriously need to rest. I mean.. you rarely have any bad hair days but.." I say surprised by how AJ looks.

"MY HAIR LOOKS FINE EMILIO."

"Jesus, I'm sorry. Is that some parenthood mood swing?"

"Emilio,"

"Okay sorry. I'm.. going to pack now.."

"THANK YOU."

He left.

Okay.

"Dadadadadada," I hear Ethan..pretty much say.

AJ comes rushing in, "What did he say?"

I just stare at AJ.

"DID MY KID JUST SAY 'DADA'?"

"Jesus Christ, AJ! Calm down, he was just blabbering words, he's barely 7 months. But yeah, almost."

AJ rushes to Ethan and picks him up, holds him close to his chest and literally squeezes him.

I can't help but 'aww' at the both of them. This might be the best Father/Son relationship I ever experienced.

Can't wait to start my own family and have -hopefully- such an amazing relationship with them.

"He may be blabbering but these are his first attempts in talking! Look how smart my baby is," AJ held Ethan up high and spun him around while squealing.
