The One With the Queen Bee

I’m at a big house with Alyssa, Renee, and all the babies. Alyssa is apparently leaving soon, so I decide that I want a picture of the two of us holding each other’s kids. I keep trying to ask to do this without annoying anyone. I stand in front of a fireplace and wait for someone to somehow notice that I’m getting ready to pose. We all end up out on a porch where hundreds of “bees” (they actually look more like crickets) are flying by. I look ahead and see one the size of a chicken coming out of a hive. I realize that this must be the queen and decide that we should all get out of here … I’m in my room thinking about how I need to repaint it when I look up and see that the walls are already white. I realize my family has done this to surprise me and am touched. I suddenly wake up in my bed. I see that the walls are still blue and realize this must’ve been a dream.
