Jason chuckled softly at Drew’s mountain man comment. “When Alexis first came here with Drew, we called Sam and Mom. They came over to see him. If you want though, we can invite the family over? Only if you’re feeling up to it, Drew?”
Drew smiled softly at Emily. “I would not miss your wedding to Nikolas for the world, Emily. It’s really me. Only difference is the beard which makes me look like a mountain man.” He laughed. “I will shave it off though when I’m able to.” He felt her hug again and hugged her back. “I did see Mom and Dad and Sam. It’s so good to be home.”
Nikolas smiled softly as he watched Emily with Drew. He shook his hand. “Welcome back, Drew.” He saw Duke. “Hi Duke, welcome back.” He shook his hand and hugged Alexis and Sally and Jason.
"That's right. How can I forget you're a, Navy Seal. I'm so glad, you came back, in time for our wedding, Drew. Jason. Where's mom and dad. And, Nikki. Omg. Sam. Did you see, Sam." She couldn't stop, hugging him. "I can't believe, it's really you, Drew."
Drew smiled when he felt Emily’s hug. He hugged her back a little bit tighter. “I missed you so much too, Emily.” He nodded his head. “I’m okay.” He felt her as she hugged him again and he hugged her back a little bit tighter. “Well, I am a Navy Seal so I have my ways. What matters most is, I’m back for good.” He gave her a soft smile. He shook Nikolas’ hand. “Good to see you again, Nikolas.”
Duke nodded his head and smiled. “Anna does know that I’m back. Ryan told me that she moved in with Sonny so I went to see her.” He chuckled softly when he heard Sally. “You never heard the name, Duke before? That means I’m the first one you met.” He smiled.
Jason shook his head when he heard him. “Don’t be silly, Duke. You are more than welcome here. Just like Sally, you are family.” He gave him a soft smile.
“Hi Jason, it’s good to see you again.” Duke smiled at him and came inside. “Alexis told me to come to the house anytime. I hope that I didn’t interrupt anything. I could come back another time.” He saw Alexis and hugged her. “Hi Alexis, it’s good to see you again. Hi Sally, it’s nice to meet you.”
Jason heard the doorbell ring and went over to answer the door. “Duke, hi. This is a nice surprise. Please come in.” He closed the door. “Obviously you know Alexis. This is her sister, Sally. Sally, this is our good friend, Duke Lavery.”
