Long Road Home

43

The rest of their honeymoon flew by quickly and soon they were back on the jet heading back to Ireland. "I'm ready to go home. I miss our daughter." Lena admitted. "Me too. Speaking of...what do you think about adopting her as yours officially?" Kara asked. Lena just stared at her wife in awe. "I'd love to!" Lena replied. "Good. I'll have the papers drawn up as soon as we get home." Kara replied. Lena lay her head on Kara's shoulder as the jet flew off into the night. Kara made sure to send plenty pictures of the sunset to Eliza over the last few days of the stay.

The women slept all the way home only waking up when the jet began descending. "Lee...love we're home." Kara whispered. Lena nodded and stood up and walked behind Kara. "MOMMA! MOMMY!" Alura yelled out as she tore off running to the jet's stairs. "Alura!" Kara cooed as she picked her up in her arms. "Mommy? Is momma feeling better?" Alura asked. "I think so sweetheart." Lena replied. "Good! Cause I don't want you sick." Alura replied. "Come now...let's go get into the car so we can go home." Kara replied.

"Welcome home ladies!" Eliza exclaimed happily. "Hello mom, it's good to be home." Kara replied as she put Alura in the car seat. "Hello Eliza." Lena greeted as the staff put their things in the back of the car. "How are you feeling? Did the crackers help?" Eliza asked softly. "Yes they did. Thank you." Lena replied as she got into the car beside Alura. "Momma...I missed you."Alura stated. "I missed you too darling." Lena replied with a smile.

The ride home was a quiet one Alura was too excited to talk much now that her mom's were home. Upon returning home Kara and Lena put their things away quickly before returning to the living room to handout the gifts they got for everyone. "This is a special doll to add to your house. It's hand made." Lena explained. "It looks like me!" Alura replied. "We know. We had it made so." Kara replied. "I love it momma, mommy. Thank you!" Alura exclaimed hugging them both.

"And this mom is some spices and herbs we picked up at a local farmers market." Kara explained. "And this....this is some of the most delicious spiced wine we had one night at this little hole in the wall restaurant." Lena explained. "Thank you both girls!" Eliza replied with a smile. "Momma? Mommy? Where's my baby sister?" Alura asked. "Baby sister?" Lena asked. "Yes. I wished for a baby sister. Where is it?" Alrua asked. "I'm sorry darling they don't sell those. But we'll get one someday ok." Lena replied. "Ok!" Alura replied with a smile. She took her doll and headed off to introduce her to all her all her other dolls.

"So? When do you go get check out?" Eliza asked. "We're gonna make an appointment tomorrow morning." Lena replied. "Good!" Eliza replied with a smile.
