"Home!" Zac exulted.

He practically jumped out of the bus and onto the yard. Zac knelt down and kissed the ground.

"I love you!" He cried. "Home! I missed you sooooooo much!"

The other members of his family giggled or chuckled at this scene and set about unpacking the bus.

"Hi everyone!" called a voice.

"Hey Charlotte!" answered Isaac.

Zac and Taylors' eyes met. Charlotte had arrived with a guy and a girl around her age and, of course, a little baby boy - Matt.

'Ok' thought Taylor. 'What's with the baby?'

"Hi Charlotte. My, your figure returned pretty quickly." Diana commented with a little wink.

Charlotte smiled.

"Yeah Charlotte." Taylor added. "So did you get all the stuff we sentcha?"

"Yep." The girl with her replied. "Thanks a lot."

"Oh, you don't know." Charlotte said. "This is Jeff and Lilly."

"Cool. At last we meet." Isaac answered, shaking their hands.

"And this is Lilly's son Matt."

Taylor and Zac burst out laughing - mainly at the look on Isaac's face.

"Aww, why'd you have to go and spoil all my fun?"

"Because I don't want Matt being monopolised by your family thank you." Lilly answered with a smile. "Which I know he would have been. But hey, congrads on getting it this far."

"And a very nice job you did too." Diana put in. "Ike, there were sometimes when I was almost certain you were telling the truth. How on earth did you manage those pictures?"

"I'm a graphics student." Jeff replied. "It was fun."

"So Zac," Taylor said. "What do you think about that Oscar? Do you think Ike still deserves it?"

"Oscar?" Isaac repeated.

Zac stood there in thought, with a huge grin plastered all over his face.
