Grace's P.O.V

"She is ready to go if you are?" The nurse explains.

"Yep we are." I exclaim, putting Everley into her car seat.

"You are going to be a great mom Mrs Helbig-See" the nurse replies.

We all get into the car and make our way to the airport.

"I got us a house. For just us. Me, Hannah, Mamrie, Hart and Everley." I explain to the girls in the car.

Our plane didn't leave for another half an hour. So I quickly change Everley's diaper and feed her. While Hartley peed.

We boarded the plane ready for an 8 hours flight. It is going to be tough for a newborn. I hope she is going to be ok. Only a few hours old and we are already going somewhere new. I know that she will never know her father but she will be ok.

"Hartley, just sleep. It's been a long 24 hours for you." I say making her lean on a pillow, while I stroke her hair and singing her the lullaby she got sang as I kid.
She slowly falls asleep.

"Me, Hannah and Mamrie take it in turns to look after Eve*. She behaves the whole way there.

"Hartley, wake up we are here. You have to see England." I say shaking her gently, as she wakes up.

She groans as she wakes up, and rub her eyes and stretched.

"Is there a bag anywhere?" Hartley asks quickly. Mamrie passes her a bag then hold her hair and rubs her back.

"Morning sickness. Bless her." Hannah says.

Alot of people stare at us, by the fact of how loudly Hannah shouted morning sickness.

"Sorry." Hannah whispers, as she reajusts Everley in her arms. We all make our way off the plane, in an orderly fashion. We get passed customs really fast, and we find a taxi with our names on it.

"Mom. I never got to say goodbye to Penny and Beth." Hartley says, with tears forming in her eyes.

"I know. I never got to say goodbye to my friends either." I says opening the door for Hartley, Hannah, Mamrie and Everley.

"I never got to say goodbye to the girl I loved." Hartley shouts at me, as the taxi moves.

"What. I think you need to sleep. We will talk in the morning, seeing as it is nighttime in England.

She nods then falls asleep slowly. We get to the house and Hannah as Mamrie get the things from the car as I am still a bit sore from the operation.

I take Everley into the house first and place her down into the travel cot, then go and get Hartley. I carry her bridal style out of the car and into the house. We were sleeping on mattresses till we get the house sorted.

*Eve is a nickname for Everley
