After almost a year away, Amelia felt a wave of relief wash over her as the plane touched down in Lisbon. She eagerly looked out the window, taking in the beautiful weather that greeted her. Her anticipation grew as she thought about reuniting with Serena, whom she had missed dearly during her time away.

Stepping off the plane, Amelia made her way to the check-in counter to retrieve her suitcase. Her eyes scanned the area, and it didn't take long for her to spot her large baby blue suitcase on the conveyor belt. With her belongings in hand, she headed towards the exit, ready to begin her reunion with Serena.

Outside the entrance, Amelia searched for Serena, recalling that she had received a text from her friend stating that she would be picking her up. However, Serena hadn't specified the mode of transportation, leaving Amelia curious and open to any possibilities.

As Amelia was about to set off towards the parking lot, she suddenly felt someone leaping onto her back, almost knocking her off balance. Startled, she instinctively grabbed onto the person to steady herself, trying to identify who it was.

As the initial shock subsided, Amelia's face broke into a wide smile. It was Serena, surprising her with a playful and energetic greeting. Their friendship was characterized by such spontaneous moments, and Amelia couldn't help but feel a rush of joy at the unexpected encounter.

As Serena hopped off Amelia's back, they both shared a moment of relief, ensuring their safety. Amelia held onto Serena's thighs, gently urging her to find her own footing.

"Girl, get off me or we'll both end up on the ground," Amelia jokingly warned, not wanting either of them to have a mishap.

Serena regained her balance and stepped in front of Amelia, pulling her into a warm and heartfelt hug. The longing for each other's company was evident in Serena's voice as she exclaimed, "How good it is to see you again."

Embracing each other tightly, they shared a heartfelt reunion, grateful for the chance to be together again. As they made their way towards the parking lot, their laughter filled the air, signaling the start of a memorable and long-awaited reunion in Portugal.

Amelia embraced Serena tightly, savoring the connection and the comfort of their reunion. The genuine warmth in Serena's words made Amelia's heart swell with happiness. It had been over a year since they last saw each other, and they both understood that a lot can change in that time.

Serena couldn't help but notice the radiance and glow that seemed to emanate from Amelia. Her compliment was sincere, and it brought a wide smile to Amelia's face.

"Oh, God, look how you shine! People weren't lying when they said that becoming a mother makes a lady glow," Serena remarked, her own smile mirroring Amelia's joy.

Amelia's gratitude overflowed as she responded, "That's so nice, thank you." The acknowledgment of her newfound motherhood and the visible happiness it brought her meant the world to Amelia. The bond between them grew even stronger as they stood there, cherishing the moment of reconnection.

With smiles on their faces and a sense of excitement for the time they would spend together, Amelia and Serena embarked on their long-awaited reunion, ready to create new memories and share in each other's joys and adventures.

Amelia's life had undergone a profound transformation since the birth of Joana. The presence of her daughter brought a newfound sense of joy and contentment that radiated from her being. Her smile became a constant feature, and wherever she went, people took notice of the positive and vibrant aura surrounding her.
