"Mom it's time to get up," Isla says shaking my shoulder.

"Okay I'm up go get ready," I groan rolling over.

"Okay," she says walking out of my room.

I slide out of my warm blankets and to my closet. I pick out a black tank top and blue jean shorts. I brush my hair and slide my boots on. Before exiting my room I grab my phone off of the charger and close the door behind me. Isla walks down the stairs behind me and we walk in the kitchen. While I grab a muffin she grabs a pop-tart.

"There we go," I say as I put the pen by the note.

"Ready mom?" She asks standing at the door.

"Yeah."

I grab my keys and we head out of the door. I drive us to the mall while we listen to 102.5. We arrive and I lock the doors. We head through the right side doors and head to Isla's favorite store. Aeropostale. We walk in and she finds a few pairs of jeans and a couple plaid shirts. She picks out a few shorts. I pay and we head to JCPenny. We both grab some joggers and tank tops. I drag her to Macy's so I can get some more skinny jeans. Isla picks three pairs out with some cute blouses. We pair then head to the cookie store. I get a Cookie Monster cookie and Isla gets a Elmo one. We walk out to the truck and drive to Taco Bell. We both order a number seven. We take a seat and eat.

"Can I ask you something?" Isla asks.

"Yeah. You always can."

"Where's my dad?" She questions.

"I don't know. But you shouldn't want him around. He's a big druggie. He's been on the news multiple times," I say taking a bite of my taco.

"Awesome," she sasses.

"God you are my child," I comment with a laugh.

"Hey," she responds with a pouty face.

"I'm kidding."

We finish and head back to the house. Chris comes out to help carry our bags in and I shut my door. 

"Have you told her?" He asks as he sits my bags down.

"No not yet," I say.

"Don't you think you should?"

"I will don't worry. I'll tell her before Chloe takes her dress shopping," I inform him.

He places a kiss on my lips before exciting the room. I hang everything up and walk to Isla's room and knock on the door. She opens it and let's me in.

"I just wanted to inform you that we're flying out tonight to go to Boston. Chris wanted me to meet his family but that was before I got you back. He would like it if you would join us," I inform my daughter.

"I don't want to barge in on you guys, mom. Maybe I could stay with Uncle Robert," she insists on not going.

"Well to bad because Chris already said he wanted you and I to go with him. He said they'd love me and that if they loved me they'd love you," I state.

"Okay. He wins," Isla surrenders.

I laugh and leave her to finish putting her clothes up. I walk downstairs and grab a water out of the refrigerator. Chloe jumps on my back and makes me give her a piggy back ride. I toss her on the couch and we talk about random things.

"Chris what time are we leaving?" I question my boyfriend.

"Our plane is supposed to take of at seven fifteen. So probably around six thirty to get through everything," he says sitting next to me.

"So be back by six," I inform my sister.

"Okie doky. I'm gonna go get her," Chlo says bouncing off of the couch.

Chloe and Isla leave and I get out board games. We play Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, Connect Four and hide and seek. I turn the TV on and we watch Disney Channel.

"I miss the old Disney channel. Don't you?" I ask.

"Yeah," Chris says taking a drink of his beer.

I take it from him and steal a drink. I hand it back and he gives me the death eye.

"I love you," I say smiling.

"Not as much as I do," Chris says before sitting his beer down and pressing his lips to mine.

I lay down and he hovers over me. He moves to my neck and holds on to my sides. He moves back to my lips and my hands find their way to his hair and under his shirt on his back.

"Are they back already?" I ask.

"Yeah it's 5:55. You might want to go pack," he says.

I jog upstairs and pack for the next three months. I carry my bag downstairs as I is going up them. I tell her to pack for three months. We wait until she's done and pile into the truck. Once we arrive Chloe hugs us all and we walk in.

"I've never flew before," Isla confesses.

"It's not bad. You'll be sitting next to us so don't worry," Chris informs her.

She smiles and attaches herself to my side. We sit in our flight section and wait to be called. We hand her our tickets and aboard the plane. I allow my daughter to sit in the window seat and she grips my hand.

"We haven't left the ground yet Isla," I inform her.

"I'm freaking out right now mom," she says.

"It's okay. Calm down. I won't let nothing happen to you okay? I promise," I calm her down.

She shakes her head yes and leans her head against the window. This is going to be a long flight with a new flyer.
