we shouldn't

"Spencer, Billies here!" I hear Grace shout from the basement.

"Coming" I yell back before running down the stairs.
Stupid me went so damn fast I ended up on my ass at the bottom of the stairs.

I look up still sitting on the floor to see Billie laughing at me. "Eager much?" She chuckles.

"Shut up" I frown, looking down at the floor.

"Come here mamas" she smiles, holding out a hand and helping me up. She wraps her arms around me and goes in for a kiss.
I could tell she wanted a kiss longer than just a peck but my siblings were sitting right there.

"You ready?" She asks.

"Yeah!" I smile.

"Bye guys" I wave to my siblings and foster parents.

They all say goodbye and Quinn runs up for a quick hug before I leave.

My leg involuntary bounces up and down as we drive closer to Billie's house.

"Baby don't worry" Billie smiles, placing a hand on my thigh.

"Who's all gonna be there?"

"Everyone. They all miss you, Spence."

I nod my head. "So I got signed up for the road test" I change the subject.

"Yeah? When is it?"

"A couple of weeks"

"Need any help practicing?"

"I'd love that" I lean my head on her shoulder, just as we pull up to her house.

"Spencer!" Claudia exclaims, running up to me and giving me a hug.

"I missed you!" I smile.

"I missed you too, how are you?" She asks pulling away from the hug.

"I'm good!"

Everyone else takes their turn giving me a hug and welcoming me back. I wasn't expecting it to be this way. It's like nothing has changed except that I don't live here anymore and now they know Billie and I are together.

"Have you found a job?" Patrick asks as we sit down around the dinner table.

"Not yet. The kids are getting adopted next month and then there's Billies birthday and Christmas. So I'll try more after that" I explain.

"Do you know what you want to do?" Maggie asks.

"Not really" I shrug, scooping some food onto my fork.

"It will come to you!" Claudia smiles.

"I've seen you're Instagram, I know you take some killer photos" Finneas exclaims.

"Yeah, but I can't just get a photography job. I'd need a camera and equipment as well as people who actually want me to take their pictures"

"True" Finneas frowns.

I look over and see Billie smirking at me. "What?" I mumble.

"Nothing" she shakes her head and gets back to eating.

There's a moment of silence, the only thing heard is our silverware.
"So uh-I just wanted to say thank you for everything and I'm sorry" I mumbled, staring down at my plate.

I felt Billie's hand rest on my thigh and give it a little squeeze.
"Spencer you have nothing to be sorry for. You're family and you deserve to be happy" Maggie explains.

I look up and everyone is nodding along. "We love you Spencer" Claudia smiles.

"I love you guys too" I smile back shyly.
