Amy's Point of View:

     I'm going to miss it here, Simple as that. The sun is shining on my wall brightly, also helping to melt the snow thats left on the ground. The house is quiet besides the usual creaks on occasion which I've come to known. I roll over to face Mark and watch as his eyes pop open when I do "Good morning" He whispers as a smile spreads across his face. I don't say anything back but study him instead. The creases beside his mouth, The dark stubble thats growing from lack of a good shave, The whites of his eyes that make the browns in his eyes pop, and even how his messy morning hair is spread across his forehead. I meet his eyes again to see a questionable look, Making me smile and lean forward, Quickly connecting our lips. His hand goes to my cheek and holds there, Rubbing his thumb over the skin while my hands tangle into his already messy hair. He begins to hurry the kiss and I can feel his smile on my lips as he does so. I pick up his other hand and place it on my hip, He holds it there tightly making my back straighten. I pull on the ends of his hair and notice that when I do he hurries the kiss even more and a strong sound comes up from his throat and onto my lips, Causing me to smile and do it again. I begin to pull slightly harder when I hear a heavy knock on my door "Amy, Mark wake up so you get there on time". I lay back on my back and hold my hand over my face as I laugh slightly, Feeling Mark's side of the bed ease up and peck my forehead as he laughs as well.

     "Sleep well?" Mom pops her eyebrow as we walk into the kitchen, Quickly turning back around when the toaster pops up. I hop onto the bar stool and see Mark do the same 'Very" I sigh "I'm going to miss you mom" I smile to myself as she sets a cup of coffee on the bar in front of me. I watch as she shuffles around the kitchen "We're not saying goodbye yet, Amy" She turns for a moment just to make eye contact with me "Too early in the morning for that type of thing" She laughs and so do we, I nod my head and take another gulp of coffee. The sound of plates clashing with the counter and silver ware being scrambled around in the drawer takes over the kitchen before a plate of toast and eggs are placed in front of us. I look at my plate and then look up at my mom to see her watching me with a smile "You have to have your favorite before you go" She shrugs and continues her smile when she grabs a rag to wash her hands "You two hurry and eat, I bet Marks mom is excited to see you two" She gives me one last smile before walking away and into the living room with her cup of coffee.

     Just like packing to come down here, Packing Marks stuff back up to go to his moms is just the same. I fold my last shirt back up and zip my suitcase closed, Leaning back against my pillows to watch Mark get frustrated. "Mark did you combine your dirty and clean stuff?" I question, Placing my hand slightly up so it's covering my mouth. I watch as he looks down to his suitcase and lets his body fall limp for a second before picking out dirty clothes. He puts his dirty clothes into the blue grocery bag beside him and laughs at himself "This may be easier if you would help  ya know" He places the bag on his lap and looks up at me still laughing. I look back down at him and smile before hoping off the side of the bed and walking over to set on the ground with him "Did you even fold this?" I ask while laughing. He looks down to his suitcase and looks back up at me shaking his head no. I sigh while looking at his things "Oh boy".

     "Mom!" I yell as I walk to the front hall "Mark and I are already two hours late" I laugh and hear her footsteps as she walks up to us. Mark pulls his suitcase up besides mine and stands by the door, Looking almost as upset as I probably do. I watch as she opens her arms out as she walks up to us with a small smile across her face "Come here you two" She wraps her arms around Mark and I "Thank you for spending the holidays with me" She pulls her arms away but still holds on "Next Christmas I hope we can do the same" She pulls us back in and laughs slightly. When she finally lets us go we grab our bags and go out to the Uber waiting in the driveway "Love you mom!" I yell and turn to see her leaning against the door, I turn back to see Mark waving to her also. This was one of the best Christmas vacations I've had.

     The über drive isn't too bad, Our dude is pretty chill and plays some good music so I would call that a good uber ride compared to some in L.A.. Mark and I used to live pretty close when we were growing up, Yet we never met but his mom moved an hour away so it was a little bit of a drive but we didn't really mind. I watched outside my window as the sun went down as we crossed over a bridge, Loosing interest in anything else happening in the car. The sun turned the light in the car to a bright orange color and I was in awh at the sight, We don't get these kinds of sunsets in California. What draws my attention away from the sun setting is Mark squeezing my hand in his, I look to him and see his happy smile plastered across his face and I do the same to him before looking back out my window until we arrive at our destination. 

     "Mark!" I hear as we're unloading the bags out of the trunk and quickly my gaze follows Mark as he runs towards the sound "Ive missed you! Wheres Amy?" Her voice gets quiet and I walk up to them, Standing behind Mark. Mark laughs that she asked where I was right away and I walk over to her "Hello" I smile and hold out my hand "I'm Amy" She smiles back at me before taking a step closer and brushing  hair behind my ear. "So nice to meet you Amy" She looks to Mark and then back to me "I think you may be prettier then Thomas' wife" She tries to say under her breath but ends up laughing, Causing us to laugh "Lets get you two settled for the night" She smiles and I turn to get my bag but can't find it. I look around the driveway for a moment or two before realizing Mark has it and following them up the driveway, Excited to spend the New Years with Marks family.

Hello! So I feel more ok today so I decided to post because It truly makes me happy and it did help slightly. Thank you for the comments on yesterdays chapter, They helped a lot more than you probably thought. I have two questions I would love to have some input on for future chapters: 1) Would you guys still read if I added another pregnancy in here? 2) After this story ends, Would you guys read and Ethan story? It would help a lot to have your input. Hope you enjoyed this read.                                                                                                                                                       xxParks
