THE brunette sat down with a sigh as the four year old crawled around on her lap. "Jaxon, please get in your seat and sit down. We're about to take off." The girl spoke knowing it was going to be a long flight.

"No!" The young boy argued as the brunette silently pleaded him not to throw a tantrum. "You remember what we discussed? It's unsafe to crawl around."

"Yes..." The slight hesitation in the boy's voice made her do an internal victory dance. At least he listens when she talks. "Then let's get in our seats please."

"Fine"

"Thank you buddy, if we're good then maybe we can stop by the shops before I drop you off at home with your parents. Yeah? Does that sound good to you?" The brunette compromised with the tiny human. "Yes!! and ice cream?" Jaxon bargained, pushing his luck. "If you behave the whole time, I'll think about it." The girl bargained back, knowing very well that would keep him well mannered for no more than ten minutes.

Once the plane was up in the air, the game of questions for Jaxon had started, "When are we getting there?" "How is the plane in the sky?" "How many people are on the plane?" "Where is mommy sitting?" "Can I have a snack?"

The girl patiently answered all the questions before asking him to try and close his eyes to get some shut eye.

Within thirty minutes of the last question, a poke to the girl's cheek was felt and a slight whisper from the boy sat next to her, "Psst... I'm thirsty and need to pee."

"Alright then let's go to the bathroom first then we can get a drink from a flight attendant." The brunette responded as she started unbuckling the seatbelt on the boy.

Jaxon's hand was held above his head connected to the girl's hand as they walked down the narrow plane aisle.

"Psst, I'm going to stand right out here while you go okay? Call out if you need anything." With a nod as a response, the boy disappeared into the small bathroom.

The brunette stood outside waiting trying to locate a flight attendant to get a drink. "Hey, can I get some water and juice please."

"Yeah sure, not a problem, give me a second."

A small nod was given as thanks while the brunette waited for the flight attendant and boy to reappear.

The drinks were the first to appear as they were handed off from the flight attendant but not soon before Jaxon opened the sliding bathroom door.

"Did you wash your hands?" The brunette asked, trying to avoid as many germs as possible. "Mhm, can we get mommy a drink?"

"Sure, what do you want to give her?" The girl softened at the boy's kind gesture. "Juice!" The brunette laughed at Jaxon's excitement and went to ask for another cup of juice.

"Can I hold the one for mommy?"

The girl hesitated before only allowing the boy to hold the cup of water, knowing it wouldn't stain if he spilled it.

"Let's go to mommy's seat and give her the drink then?"

The two made their way down the aisle towards the upper class seats, trying to keep the drinks steady in their hands.

"Jaxon, not too fast—" The brunette spoke a little too late as a blonde woman stepped out of her seat, knocking into Jaxon, sending water flying in every direction.

"Merde" The brunette murmured as she quickly placed the two cups down to the side and attended to the boy. "Are you okay Jax?"

"I am so sorry, I should have—" The blonde was cut off by a wail coming from the four year old's mouth.
