As Tim drives up the street leading to his mom's house, Chance hides in the back of the RV.

Dena sat on the front porch sipping a glass of tea as she patiently waits on her son's arrival. She knew they would be arriving soon. She had been so worried about him since his and Jenika's break-up. How was he doing? Had he overcome his depression?

Dena smiles as she sees the RV coming up the street. Adam was sitting in the passenger seat, waving wildly at her making her giggle.

"GANDMA DENA!" Adam shouts as he jumps out of the RV, no sooner than Tim put it in park.

"Hey, Angel!" Dena smiles as Adam runs toward her, grabbing her into a hug. "I've missed you."

Satchmo and Mack exit the RV in dire need to relieve themselves. Tim comes out next, followed by Kirstie and Patch. Emily was waving at Dena as she hops down the steps in front of her mother.

"Oh, my lord." Dena says as she smiles through her tears. "Look at you." She adds as she grabs her son into a tight hug. "You've lost so much weight. Are you alright? Have you been sick?"

"No, mom. I've not been sick." He chuckles as he holds tightly to his mom. "I just thought I needed to lose some of the extra pounds."

"Emily, goodness gracious, you've grown." Dena grins as she picks up the little girl that was hugging her leg. "And you two. I've missed you guys so much. Patch, you're as handsome as ever" She adds as she hugs Kirstie and Patch.

Chance smiles as he peeks out of the window at the reunion.

"Why the sudden decision to lose weight? It wasn't because of what that witch said, is it?" Dena asks, turning her attention back to her son.

"Well, that's one of the reasons." Tim answers with a smile.

"You do look great and you look so happy." Dena says with a smile.

"I'm very happy. I've, uh, I've kinda been keeping a secret from you." Tim says while running a hand through his hair.

"Oh?" Dena says as she puts Emily down so she could go play with Adam on the swings in the backyard.

"Yeah, I'm in a relationship, mom." Tim says with a smile. 

"Oh, my goodness! I'm so happy for you, Sweetheart." Dena says as she hugs him again. "Where is she? You didn't bring her so I could meet her?"

"It's not a her, mom." Tim replies with a chuckle. "It's a him."

"That's fine." Dena nods. "But I'd still like to meet the guy that my son is dating."

"They're actually doing more than just dating." Kirstie says with a smirk.

"Oh?" Dena asks with a raise of her eyebrows.

"They're living together." Patch signs.

"Are you kidding me? Timothy, you are already living with this guy and I'm just now finding out?" Dena asks as she puts her hands on her hips. 

"I figured you wouldn't mind." Tim says, biting at his bottom lip.

"Wouldn't mind? Honey, I saw the hell that the witch put you through. You know, I'm a pretty good judge of character. I don't want to see you go through that again. I would've liked to meet the guy before you made such a serious commitment." Dena scolds her son.

"You already have." A voice says behind her. "Hi, Dena."

Dena quickly turns around as she recognizes the voice. She gasps and covers her mouth as she sees Chance smiling at her.

"I think you two have already met so there's no need for the introduction." Tim chuckles.

"You?" She asks Chance before turning toward her son. "You? Oh, my word. You two?" She was at a complete loss of words.

"Yep." Chance answers as he walks over to Tim and slides his arm around his waist.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Dena says, turning on Kirstie.

"What?" The small blonde laughs.

"I called you so many times asking you how Tim was. You could have told me." Dena scolds.

"He wanted to surprise you." Kirstie giggles.

"Kirstie was sworn to secrecy." Patch adds with a chuckle.

"Holy crap. You guys don't know how happy this makes me." Dena says as tears come to her eyes. "I've prayed that you two would find your way back to one another."

"It was a rough road but we did." Tim smiles. "You know." He adds as he looks around at the porch. "That tea you were drinking looked mighty good."

"Oh, my gosh! Where are my manners?" Dena giggles. "You guys haven't even got to unload your luggage yet. Well, y'all can do that later. I wanna hear all about how you guys got back together." 

With that, she takes Chance by the hand and begins to walk toward the porch. Chance chuckles as he glances over his shoulder at the stunned look on his boyfriend's face.

"I'm sure she misses you a little too." Kirstie giggles as she pats Tim on the back as she walks by.

"Always remember, we still love you." Patch signs as he puts on a fake pout.

"Oh, you two are just sooo funny." Tim says, shaking his head as he rolls his eyes.

"So you can stay in Tim's old room and he can pull the sleeper couch out and sleep down here." Dena was saying to Chance as the others walk in.

"What!??" Tim asks with a confused look on his face. "Are you serious?"

"No." Dena answers as she and Chance begin to laugh hysterically.

"Oh, my God! Did you see the look on his face?" Chance laughs.

"I'm going outside to see what Adam and Emily are doing. They seem to be the only grown-ups here." Tim grumbles as he turns toward the backdoor.

"No, Sweetie, wait." Dena giggles as she grabs her son by the arm.

"It was all just a joke, Baby Doll." Chance says as he stands from the table. "Here. You sit and talk with your mom and Patch and I will unload the suitcases."

"I'll help." Kirstie says as she takes a quick sip of tea. She was sure that mother and son had a lot to talk about.

"Okay. Tell me all about it and don't leave out anything." Dena says as she lays her hands on top of Tim's.

"Everything?" Tim asks with a raised brow.

"Of course." Dena says with a sweet smile.

"Uh, momma, I don't think you want to know everything." Tim says as his cheeks begin to redden.

"And why not?" Dena asks. She still hadn't caught on to what Tim was referring to.

"I really don't think you want to hear about mine and Chance's sex life." Tim says with a slight smirk on his lips.

"Oh, dear." Dena says, placing her hand over her mouth. "Honey, I am so happy that you and Chance are back together. But he's already living with you and you're having sex? Aren't you afraid that you're rushing things? You both just went through divorces."

"We're fine, mom. Really." Tim says as he squirms uncomfortably in his seat. A conversation about his sex life was not one he wanted to have with his mom.

"Well, okay then." She says with a smile. "Tell me ALMOST everything."
