Long Road Home

Today everyone was returning home. Summer vacation was over and everyone had to go back to work or for Alura she had to go to school. A new school. Currently Kara and Lena are dropping off Alura so she can meet her teacher before the day starts. "Hello Alura! I'm Miss Hughes, I'll be your main teacher here, I'm sure your moms have told you that you'll have many teachers here." Miss Hughes said. "Alura, why don't you go put your stuff away in your cubby while we talk to Miss Hughes." Kara said. "Yes mommy." Alura replied.

"She's a little shy. She still misses her friends in Ireland." Kara said looking at Miss Hughes. "I'm sure she'll make new friends in no time." Miss Hughes replied. Alura came back over to her mom's and looked at Miss Hughes. "Alura let's go find your desk ok sweetheart, so mommy and Miss Hughes can talk." Lena said. "Ok momma." Alura said as she and Lena walked over to the desks. "Is there anything else I need to know about Alura?" Miss Hughes asked. "No, she's not allergic to anything food or medicine related. She rarely gets sick, so she won't be missing hardly any school." Kara replied. "Ok that's good." Miss Hughes replied.

Alura and Lena returned to Kara's side a minute later. "I found my desk mommy." Alrua said. "You did? Did you put your stuff in it?" Kara asked. "Yes momma helped." Alura replied with her infectious toothy smile. "That's good. We need to get going now ok. But we'll be here at three to pick you up." Kara replied. "Both of you?" Alura asked. "Yes sweetheart both of us." Lena said. "Ok!" Alrua replied. "You have a good day today ok, and try to make some friends. We love you sweetheart!" Kara said. "Yes darling we love you very much!" Lena added. "I love you too!" Alura replied. "Ok Alura go sit down and get ready for class to begin." Miss Hughes said.

Lena and Kara watched as Alura walked off and sat at her desk before they took their leave.
