Three days later-

Gabbi let's go, I shout through the bathroom door.

Hold on, lemme brush my hair, she shouts from the bathroom. I wait impatiently as I tap my foot. She finally walks out of the bathroom 5 minutes later.

Come on if we miss the check out time they'll charge us an extra day, I say before grabbing my suitcases. She follows me down to the elevator where Harry is waiting.

Women, he mutters under his breath.

Now that wasn't necessary, I say slapping his chest. He fakes hurt, and slowly smiles. I laugh as we wait for the elevator to arrive. The doors open and I wait for other people to get off. I step in the elevator and wait for it to arrive at the lobby. I head to the front desk and check out. Gabbi and Harry follow me to our handicap rental car and stop. Harry puts our luggage in the trunk and then gets in the driver seat. We drive on over to the hospital to get Tavia, Liam, and Erin. I take Gabbi's hand and we walk to the desk.

Hi, we're here to pick up Tavia Roberts, I tell the lady.

Her sister and brother are already here, she says.

Yes I know, but I'm there ride to the airport, I state firmly.

Oh, I see, she says before directing us to her room. I walk in and Erin is helping Tavia into her wheelchair.

I feel like an old hag, Tavia mutters. Gabbi laughs and Tavia smiles.

Hey, its nice to see you, she says happily. They hug and Gabbi pushes Erin out of the way so she can push Tavia. Let's go home, Tavia says with a sigh. Gabbi pushes her out the door and down the hall. We follow them all the way to the car. I open the wheelchair door and lower the lift. Tavia wheels herself on the ramp. I higher the ramp and she wheels into the open space. I close the door and get into the passenger side. Everyone else gets into the back seats and Harry gets in the driver seat.

Ready Tavia, I say turning around.

Yea, how am I supposed to sleep in this, she asks.

Well I don't know, you'll figure it out, I say. Erin sighs and I smile at her. What's wrong, I ask her.

I just wanna go home and see Elliott, she says. Liam laces his fingers with hers and I turn around. Harry starts driving towards the airport. When we get there Gabbi helps Tavia out and I grab our luggage. We walk through the terminal and get stuck in line.

Tavia had to be patted down and she didn't have to pass through the metal detector. She waited on the other side for the rest of us. The airline attendant moved our seats closer to the handicap area. Gabbj sat closest to Tavia and I sat by the window this time.

The plane finally lifts off and I fall asleep, and so does Harry.

-----

I wake up with a jolt as the plane lands. Tavia found a way to fall asleep and Erin was stroking her hand. I smile and wait for the attendant to tell us to unbuckle. When she does I wake the others up. Gabbi stratches and hits Tavia's leg which jolts her awake. She cries out in pain and Gabbi gasps.

I'm sooo sorry Tavia, I didn't mean too, she says with tears forming.

Its not your fault, you were just stretching, she says. Gabbi sighs and a slowly smile slowly forms. We get off the plane and hurry through the airport. Harry's mom is already there with our van and I smile. She gets out and runs towards us.

Oh Harry baby, she cries happily. The girls are amazing, Enya is super smart. She's already sitting up without help, she cheers. I watch her hug Harry happily and I smile quietly. Oh Lizzie, your daughter is so smart, she's a little Einstein, she tells me. I give her a hug and she smiles.

Maybe that could be her nickname, Gabbi adds in.

Maybe, I say.

Where's our new van, Erin whines.

New van, what new van, Liam asks.

Oh, I called a rental company in the airport, she says.

Oh, that makes sense, he says right as a van pulls up. They stop in front of us and Erin opens the back. She helps Tavia in and gets in herself. Harry, Gabbi and I get into our van with Anne and I sit by Enya, and I have Gabbi squeeze between Darcy and Michelle. Harry gets in the driver seat and Anne sits in the passenger seat. We drive home and I take all our luggage into the laundry room. I start to load the washer but Anne stops me.

Lizzie, you just got back, let me do it, she says.

No Anne, it's fine, you had to watch the girls all week, I protest. She kindly shoves me out of the way and finishes loading the washer. I sigh and help Harry unload the girls. I take them up to their room and lay them down.

Tummy time, I squeal. Michelle and Darcy stay close to each other and basically ignore Enya. Enya entertains herself by sitting up. I watch and push her up she sits there and holds her head up too. I clap my hands and she looks at me. Your a smart girl, I tell her. She smiles and goes back onto her tummy. I lay them all in their cribs, leave the room and shut the door.

Harry is making supper downstairs and Gabbi is on the couch. Harry's phone starts ringing and he smiles at me. I come over there and take over supper. He leaves and answers the call. I finish making the supper and serve it. I set our plates on the table and wait for Harry to come back out. He comes back out rubbing his temples but suddenly stops when he sees me. He smiles and sits down.

Gabbi come eat, he shouts.

Harry, honey, what's wrong, I ask worried.

I don't wanna talk about it right now, he says with a sigh. I start eating and so does he. Gabbi sits down and eats her food too. After we are all finished I clean up. Gabbi gets up to go into the kitchen but Harry stops her.

Gabbi, sit, he sighs. She sits and puts her chin in her hands.

Is something wrong, I ask worried.

Yea, something is, he says. He takes a deep breath and looks at me. I have to leave on Wednesday...for tour, he whispers.
