The van pulled up and was slowing down when the passenger door opened. A female jumped out of the van, ignoring the yelling male. "Cassie!" the female exclaimed, running towards me.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "May!" I exclaimed, running to meet her.

When we got near each other, we started to do our signature handshake.

After we were finished with the handshake, we both snapped our fingers and said, "Hot Stuff" together.

May grinned and hugged me. "You remembered!" she exclaimed. "I am so happy!"

I chuckled and hugged the twenty-seven-year-old female. "It's good to see you, too, May. How close are you?"

May scowled, pulling away from me. "Commander says that I will be there hopefully when I am thirty," she says. "And, then I will be the second female of the Alpha Beta Omega Gamma Delta Psi group."

"Not when you are jumping out of moving cars," the male said, getting out of the van and walking towards us. He looked me up and down and smiled, nodding his head in approval. "Hello, Squirt," he said.

"Hello, Seggie," I said, causing him to scowl. "Stop calling me "Squirt", and I will stop calling you "Seggie"."

Sergio narrowed his eyes pulling me into a hug. The almost forty-year-old ignored the warning growl as he held onto me. "The day you stop calling me Seggie is the day that I will start worrying about you," he said, placing a kiss on side of my head.

My throat closed, and I nodded my head. I placed my arms around May as she joined the hug, feeling relieved that they still cared about me.

Sergio cleared his throat and pulled away, leaving May to cling onto me like a koala. "Let her go, and act your age."

"No," May said. She hopped up into my arms and held onto me like a child. "Is Prince Justin holding your baby?" she asked.

"Well, it's not his," I said. I grunted when she let go of me and ran towards them. She stopped in front of Justin. "It's a baby. Hi, Baby," she cooed.

I rolled my eyes and walked over to them. I walked to Xavier, feeling Sergio's gaze on us. "Sergio is our weapon's design person and one of the first people that I had met when I first went to base." I looked at him. "Weren't you the person that picked me up?"

Sergio nodded his head, gravely. "Yes," he said. "I remember you having this stuffed bunny and pigtails, looking at me with tearstained eyes." He nodded to my cousin. "You looked just like her."

Claraity's eyes widened, and she took in a deep breath, causing me to look at her. "Mr. Scooter!" she exclaimed, talking about her bubby that her dad had given her when she was born. "I forgot Mr. Scooter!"

"He's in my bag," I said. "I packed him and an extra pair of clothing for you as well as TJ."

"I hope you didn't pack Mr. Piggy," he said, talking about his stuffed bunny. "I don't need him."

I gave him a look, causing him to shrug. "Sure," I said, sarcastically. "If you do, he is my bag too as well as an extra pair of clothes."

"Awwww," May cooed, causing me to roll my eyes. "Look at you being a mother." She grew serious becoming more like a Guardsmen than her normal goofy self. "We should probably get the bags in the car and get going. We have to keep to the schedule that was set for us, so I'm driving."

"You are not driving," Sergio said, causing May to open her mouth to retort. "Unless you want an angry Cassandra, then you aren't driving. Remember, it is the "only" time that she got some sleep and a habit that she needs to break." He gave me a pointed look.

I shrugged my shoulder and walked to the pile of bags we had. "Screw breaking that habit. I have tried, remember?" I asked, picking up a couple of the bags and started to walk towards the van with Sergio passing me to get more bags. "After Adofo?"

Sergio chuckled and nodded his head.

"Who's Adofo?" Xavier asked. He had followed me to get some of the bags and picked some up. His whole body was tense, and I could tell that he was a little jealous.

"Some guy on my group that you will probably meet," I said, shrugging my shoulder. "If there is a plan of us being "reconnected". Last I heard he has met his mate, and he is happily married to him."

"And, they have adopted two kids," May said. She walked over to the van and opened the area where we were to put the bags. "And, one of these days, you will get to meet them."

"Yep, and see Alessandra again. She's been asking about you," Sergio said, walking over to us followed by the rest of the lot, carrying everything we had packed. "She wants to know if you need to be kidnapped again." He winked, causing me to roll my eyes.

"No, I don't need to be kidnapped," I said. "I am perfectly happy where I am at." By Xavier's side, I added, silently.

"Will you let her visit us?" May asked, looking at him. She had this look in her eyes, and I knew that she hadn't liked me being away from them for so long. She had been in a position that I was in when she had joined, and I had been the first person that she opened up to. She was like a sister to me, even though we weren't related by blood. "Or, will you keep her away from us like he did?"

Xavier looked at me to see that I was staring at him as well. Again, he looked at her, and I could tell that he understood why she was asking. "I won't," he promised. "She will be able to hang out with you. She will be able to go to the base and do whatever she needs to do." He looked at me, again, and I could see this guarded look in his eyes. He looked rather nervous, and I was sure that he thought I would leave them.

"I'll come back," I promised, offering him a small smile. "I'll always come back to the place that has my heart." And to the one that has it.
