Anastasia POV

The plane began it's descent at LAX before it was led over to a gate that had no one waiting for boarding. I looked at Mary-Kate as she smiled back before she gently woke up Aurora.

The plane stopped at the gate before we heard the doors open and them preparing to let us all get off. I looked down at Florence who was waking up before I stood up to gently swoop Aurora into my arms.

I watched as Florence picked up Billie's leash before Mary-Kate stood up. I motioned for Florence to walk ahead of me before I followed behind her with Mary-Kate following behind me.

We all thanked the pilot silently as we walked through the bridge before stopping in the gate waiting area.

"Thank you once again Mary-Kate", I tell her as I hugged her to the best of my ability.

"Oh it's a pleasure, I figured I'd get the wrath of Lizzie if I didn't and I don't want to piss her off whilst she's pregnant. She's already terrifying as it is", she says with a soft laugh as Florence hugged her.

I watched as Aurora waved a silent goodbye before the four of us walked away from Mary-Kate. I had seen a guard grabbing our bags before he motioned for us to follow him.

He led us throughout the dead airport and led us out to the parking garage. I walked ahead of them to Florence's Santa Fe, well my old car that she took over and is honestly more her vibe.

I unlocked the car before opening the back door to get Aurora in. I buckled her as Florence popped the trunk for the guard and walked around to let Billie in.

I helped the guard quickly before he waved his goodbye as I helped Florence into the car. I made sure she was good before I shut her door and walked around.

I got into drivers seat before turning on the car, I looked at Aurora in the back and back at Florence as I pulled out of the parking spot. I slowly made my way towards the exit before feeling a hand brush against my free hand.

I flipped my hand over to let her hold my hand as I pulled onto the street to head home. I barely had left before I felt her squeeze my hand.

"Fries?", Florence asks with a soft laugh before getting Rory's attention as she asked, "Are we stopping for fries? I could eat some fries".

"We can stop yeah, if that's what my girls want", I say with a soft smile as I turned up the radio a little as I drove.

I prefer driving with some form of music playing, it doesn't have to be loud. Just loud enough to drain out the sounds of traffic.

I figured we'd stop at our usual place for fries after a flight, but then I saw a McDonald's. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Florence's eyes bug out a little. She wanted McDonald's, which is honestly fine as then they can eat sooner.

I merged over to the next lane before flicking on my turning blinkers and pulled into the parking lot. I drove towards the drive thru as I heard Aurora's gasp as I don't tend to go to McDonald's, it's not my ideal fast food joint to go to.

"Welcome to McDonald's what can I get started for you today?", I hear the employee say over the intercom.

"Just two medium fries, a small root beer, a medium root beer and a medium Coca-Cola please", I greet back before hearing Florence's soft giggle.

"Okay, please pull up to the first window", the employee says and I felt Florence move her hand to grab my wallet from her purse.
