After that night the next week passes by quickly. This is the day before we leave. We leave on the plane tomorrow. It would be today, but they had another direct flight tomorrow. We just got done eating breakfast. Today is the day where we are suppose to relax. We walk around the beach and the sidewalk to take pictures. "Krystal! We talked to our leader. He says he can't wait to meet you." Michael says running up to me. Elliot gives me a strange look. "Michael, this is my husband Elliot and Elliot, this is my student I guess." I introduce them and they shake hands. "I didn't know you were married." Michael says. "I get that a lot nowadays." I respond. "What class do you teach babe?" Elliot aks. "Well, the other day when I was riding at the park a few kids asked me to help coach them to get to the X-games. They are really good, but could use some fixing for perfection. " I explain. Elliot nods finally understanding. "Well thanks again. I was going to text you, but I just spotted you so yeah. Bye." Michael blushes then runs off. He is so adorable. It makes you think of wanting kids, but then the whole year and stuff. I heard it is worth it. You might have contractions, but at least you don't have to deal with your period. Speaking of period, wasn't I supposed to come on last week. I was suppose to be on my period three days after we came. "Elliot." He turns his head towards me to see my face. "What's wrong." He asks. "I am a week late on my period. Elliot, I'm pregnant!!!! Congratulations, You made the daddy team. We're gonna have a baby." I explain. His face fills with fear then is covered with happiness. "So, you mean our child is in there? Another human is in there that is ours?" Elliot asks. "Yes, thats exactly what I mean. Our baby is in there." I tell him excitedly. He picks me up and twirls me. "Oh, babe. We better get started with baby names and tell the family." Elliot starts talking really fast. I try to keep up, but I am in shock myself. We walk to the hotel in exhaustion. When we get there. Elliot heads over to the internet and I head over towards my bed and start praying. "Lord, I thank you for the child you sent Elliot and I. He or She is beautiful. I know you have things happen for a reason, so please prepare Elliot and I to be great parents and raise our child up in your name. Thanks. In Jesus name I pray, Amen." Once I finish praying to God in the chair, I head over to the bed to take a nap. When I wake up it is seven' oclock. "Honey, I packed our bags. All we have to do is hop in the cab. The cab is ready." Elliot gently says. I hop up trying to keep my balance. I walk right behind him to the elevator. "So, I was thinking about baby names. If it is a girl it could be Jourdinn Michelle Hobbs and if it is a boy it can be Justin Alexander Hobbs. What do you think?" Elliot asks. "I really like them." I respond. We arrive at the ground floor and run out to the cab. We hop in and the whole ride is quiet. Finally, we arrive to the airport. We carry our luggage and get through the bag check. We finally make it to the sitting area. We arrive right when they call our group. We rush into the plane to get our seats. "Am I pregnant Elliot?" I ask him for reassurance. "Yes. Yes you are." He says. We sit down. I kiss him on the cheek. I pull out my laptop and put my headphones on. I play "Secrets" by Mary Lambert. I pull up The Maze Runner and try to finish reading it. I only have one more chapter left. I finish out the book. I start the other book, "A Walk to Remember." I start it out and put my feet in Jamie's shoes. I try to feel what she is going through. My sympathy is for her. I watch as she interacts with Shane. It obviously was love at first sight, but Jamie didn't want to hurt him. I reach down into my bag to get my twizzlers and Red Creme Soda. I take the twizzler up to my mouth to bite a string off of the pull-apart twizzler. I look over at Elliot to see him sleeping. Didn't we just get on the plane? I look at my phone to see what time it is. It has been two hours already. Time goes quickly when I read. I look again at my phone to see I have eight messages and three e-mails. Three phone calls are from Carter. Two are from Allison. One is from Noah and the other two are from those kids at the park. I call back Allison. She just wanted to know when I was getting back. We talk for about an hour and she invites Elliot and I to dinner tonight with Carter, Nick, Noah, and herself. After she hangs up, I quickly get on my computer and start to add to my book that I'm writing. I am putting all my thoughts and feelings into it. As I write I look out the plane window to see the clouds and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. It calms me and I let the writing take me away. A mini blue alert pops up at the bottom of my screen. It is reminding me about a new episode has been added to my recording. I click on it which brings me to another website with all my favorite movies and episodes on it. I open it and click on The Red Band Society." It is my favorite television show. I watch episode three. I start to dislike Kara. She has a good side to her, but it is just hidden. Deep, Deep, Deep Down. I mean really deep. I want Leo and Emma together. I just think it would be cute. I say Team Lemma. I know the name sounds weird, but I am serious. After watching it I can't believe what just happened with Jordi. How could he do that? I watch some more to see the card game. Awww, that's sweet. See how this show gets to me. After I finish the show, I see the cart coming around. I order two apple juices for Elliot and I. I check the time to see how much longer. Only two more hours. What did I do? Oh yeah, I wrote in my book for a while. I put my head back put in my classical music and fall asleep. "Wake up honey." I hear the familiar voice. The voice pulls me from my dream. I snap my eyes open and sit up. We are on the plane. "Sorry to wake up, but we have to get ready. We are landing." Elliot says. I laugh. "How come you are always the one waking me up. I want to wake you up, but you always are resting your eyes or sleeping during the flight." I explain to him pouting a little. He looks at me confused then starts laughing. He kisses me on the forehead and we gather our stuff together. "Attention. Thank you for joining us on Kortex Flights. We hope you have had a great flight. We hope to see you again soon. You may grab your bags. Bye." The lady on the television said. We quickly hopped out of our seats and got our bags. After that we proceeded to the exit and left. It felt so good to come back home, but I still missed Aruba. We walked through the line outside for a taxi, but we see a car already waiting for us. Allison, Carter, Nick, and Zion are all holding signs. The signs all together say "Hobbs, We missed you." I laugh then look over at Elliot who seems to be chuckling. I run towards them. "Group Hug!!!" I yell while crying. When I think about all the pain I've had over the years it is always replaced by the love I get now. I am happy with the results of the family I got.
