Remy I never expected this to be my life-a single parent with a kid I hadn't known was coming into the world. I wanted to prove I could be a good dad but doing it alone when I didn't know what I was doing made it feel like everyone was judging my abilities. It wasn't until Marcus called me on it that I realized I'd been so determined to prove I was the best thing for Toby that I didn't even know I was pushing people away. That one error in judgment led to Santana putting up walls I need to break down. Now I not only had to prove to the world that I was could be a dad, but I had to prove to her I deserved her, too. Santana Emotional pain can hurt just as much as physical pain. After feeling it from Remy too many times, I've decided I'm only there to help with his son, Toby. I just wish he'd go back to where we were colleagues only. For some reason, he's forgotten about it in his new goal to be the hero he thinks I need. And if it hadn't been for that damn hole in my roof, I might have been able to ignore his existence for the rest of my life. I'm lying, I'd never have been able to ignore a guy like Remy, but I'd have at least held out for longer than two freaking days. Now I'm living with him, and all of the promises I made myself are being broken.
Ducked- the word we all try to type out but auto-correct constantly ducks it up. Why won't it just let us say that we're ducking ducked off with all the mother duckers constantly ducking with us? Ducked- those two lines on the test that your wife hasn't seen yet. Ducked- what everyone else thinks the world would be with more Townsends in it, but they just keep on multiplying. Ducked- not understanding exactly what was meant by 'themed wedding' and keeping your bridal outfit a secret until you get to the church. An unforgettable wedding, pictures that no one would believe if they hadn't seen it for themselves, three babies, and a whole lot of other ducked up stuff. Like the Townsend family, this Halloween in Piersville will never be forgotten.
Tom Life throws curveballs when you least expect it and my sister's best friend was definitely a curveball. What do you do when you're at a different college to the woman you want and who won't give you the time of day? Why, you transfer to her college and bug her until she gives in, obviously! Sonya College was meant to be the start of my independence, and I was going to go for it and nothing was going to hold me back. Tom had never been part of any of my plans, but I just couldn't get rid of him. He wasn't bad, and he was great to look at, but he just wasn't part of the plan. When an attempt is made on his brother's life, Tom and his sister get ordered back to the family home. He wasn't going to leave Sonya unprotected, so he used his secret weapon, his sister, to bring her back with her to the Townsend's Ranch. Sonya might have been taken away from her plan, but at least she has her independence - right? Until alcohol becomes involved, and the one night that will never be repeated becomes every night. Slight stalking, a bit of coercion, a bottle of tequila, the wrong cat, these are all things he started with to make her his. After finding out that Sonya's been taken by the person who has a personal vendetta against his family though, the relaxed easy-going Tom changes and he will go to any length to find her. Finding your one changes you, and Sonya changed everything.
