Return To Picket Fences! Part 8 Over at Sarah Adams' place . . .
Rhys and Claudia arrived for Reid's birthday celebration.
Rhys was welcomed by his son Ryan . . .
And by Ryan's girlfriend Sarah.
Claudia chatted with Sarah.
Rhys picked up his grandson and held him.
When it was time, Ryan brought the toddler to his birthday cake.
He helped him blow out the candles.
When he placed Reid on the floor, he did the "toddler dance" . . .
And grew up into a cute child.
Reid enjoyed a big slice of his birthday cake.
Claudia enjoyed a slice of birthday cake while sitting on the sofa with Rhys.
Reid snuggled on the sofa with his dad.
Rhys said goodbye to his grandson . . .
Then he and Claudia left to go home.
Ryan read a story to Reid . . .
And he gave him goodnight hug.
Reid got into bed . . .
And was soon sound asleep.
"Can you spend the night?", asked Sarah.
"I'd love to, but I have to go home", he said.
"You told me you were going to tell your wife about us", she said.
"I'm going to tell her tomorrow after the twins' birthday party", he said, " I promise."
He grabbed her and gave her a squeeze.
"I'm here now", he said.
"Yes, so you are", she said.
"Let's go relax on your bed."
Sarah went upstairs and tucked in Reid . . .
Before she joined Ryan in her bedroom.
He gave her a romantic kiss.
They made out.
"Can we do woo hoo now?", he asked.
And Sarah said YES!
"I can hardly wait until you can move in."
"Yeah, me too", he said.
"Will you stay until I fall asleep?", she asked.
"Yeah sure", he said.
After Sarah was sleeping soundly, he got up . . .
And he left to go home.
Ryan arrived home a few minutes later.
When he walked into the bedroom he saw Carrie dressed in her prettiest nightgown relaxing on the bed. He knew what she wanted and he wanted to avoid that at any cost tonight.
He got into bed beside her.
"I talked to Claudia today. She said just about everybody in your family was coming to the party tomorrow. Then when I talked to my mom she said Julie and Nathan and their kids were coming", said Carrie, "And, of course, Mom and Dad are coming."
"Yeah, of course", he said.
"Ryan, can't you try to be friends with my parents? I know you weren't ready to get married, but I think it worked out pretty good. We've been together a long time. The twins will be adults tomorrow and Brianna will soon be a teenager", she said.
"Carrie, let's just drop it. I'm tired", he said.
"I was hoping we could . . . well you know", she said.
"No! I told you I was tired!', he said.
"You never used to be too tired", she said.
"Let's just go to sleep. I don't want to discuss it", he said.
