Long Road Home

62

After dinner everyone returned to the house and got ready for a movie night. "What movie shall we watch?" Sam asked. "A funny one Aunt Sam!" Alura piped up. "Ok! A funny one it is Alura!" Sam replied. Alex pulled up a comedy movie on Netflix as Kara and Lena got popcorn and drinks for everyone. Eliza was sitting on the sofa already holding Alura in her lap. "Here! Popcorn for everyone and drinks!" Lena said as she passed out the bowls of popcorn while Kara passed out their drinks. Once everyone was settled on the sofa Alex pressed play on the movie.

Half way through the movie Alura fell asleep in Eliza's lap, so Eliza got up and headed upstairs to put her to sleep before going to bed herself. "So are you glad to be going back? Even if it's to clean up and come back here?" Alex asked. "Yea, We've also got to go to the prison though...and deal with that shit." Kara replied. "Oh thats gonna be stressful. Are you gonna be ok with that?" Sam asked. "We kind of have to be, I mean she's the one who fucked up. She's the one who got herself in this situation by trying to burn our home down." Lena added.

Kara leaned in to Lena and took her hand. She could hear Lena's heartbeat increasing and knew holing her hand while rubbing her thumb around in circles on it would calm her down. "I know...I know..." Lena whispered. That was all Kara needed to hear. "I think we'll be heading to bed." Kara said. "Us right behind you." Alex added. "Come on Lee, let's get you to bed you need to get off your feet." Kara cooed as they began walking up the stairs together.
