Ariana

Thursday, 1:28 am

"Thirteen hour flights really suck." I say.

"Yeah, well, at least we'll be in Hawaii when the flight is over. And both of the kids are asleep, so I'm happy." Justin smiles, resting his hand on my thigh.

"I'm happy about both of those things, just not to be on this plane. Even though it's extremely comfortable."

"Yes, Ariana. I'm aware you like to move around." Justin laughs.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, baby..." He stops talking as Bella coughs in her sleep.

We both stay still and silent until we're absolutely sure she's not going to wake up.

"Thank God." Justin sighs, adjusting his pillow.

We had the same arrangement as when we came to New York, with Aviella sitting at the end, Justin in the middle, and me by the window. Bella was asleep in my lap, a blanket covering her entire body up to her chin, just because it was extremely cold on the plane and I didn't want her to get sick, especially when we're going to such a tropical place like Hawaii.

"Queen, you need to sleep. I'll take Bella, if you want."

"No, it's fine. I like sleeping with her."

"Okay. Well good night and sweet dreams. I love you."

"I love you." Justin leans over and kisses me before we both fall asleep.

7:27 am

I open my eyes and immediately see Justin staring at me, Bella sitting wide awake is his lap.

"Well good morning, sleepy head." Justin smiles.

"Hey." I smile back before turning over to face the closed window.

"Hey, no fair. Look at me."

"No thanks. I don't wanna see your ugly face in the morning."

"You know, for someone who cried her eyes out for two hours when I proposed, I would think you wouldn't say that. I am hurt."

"Awe, baby. I'm sorry. And I did not cry my eyes out for two hours. I cried my eyes out for three hours."

"That just proves my point even more, thank you."

"No problem. It was my pleasure." I laugh, which causes Bella to smile.

She loves when I laugh for some reason. Justin says it's because my laugh is so pure and it sounds really sweet, to him at least.

"She might love your laugh, but I think she's starting to like my voice more. The past 30 minutes I've been awake with her she just keeps staring at me when I talk."

"And who exactly are you talking to?"

"My daughters. Aviella was awake but she went back to sleep. Who else would I talk to?"

"Oh. I don't know." I shrug, sitting up completely in my chair. 

"All of a sudden, I have to pee."

"Okay, but hurry up. Bella only finished half the bottle I gave her, and she's hungry."

"She doesn't like bottles. She likes these."

I point to my chest and Justin laughs, allowing me to walk past him and go to the bathroom, which is much bigger than regular airplane bathrooms.

7:33 am

"I don't know how she managed to survive on that little food. Maybe she was just being respectful of her mommy sleeping." Justin says.

"Maybe she was. I teach my daughters respect."

"Not that one." Justin looks at Aviella who is passed out in her chair.

"Justin! You're so mean."

"I'm not. I'm just speaking the truth."

"Aviella has an attitude problem, not a respect problem. That's your fault." I laugh.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back the truck up. You're saying Aviella has an attitude problem because of me?"

"Yep."

"I'm sorry but that is the biggest lie you've ever told. You need Jesus if you really believe that."

"I'm kidding. I don't believe that. I know it's my fault."

"Good, because I was gonna take you to a psychiatrist if you did."

"That's mean."

"It's true, though."

I relax in my chair, making sure it's not completely flat, because I don't like feeding Bella like that. I only do it if I'm absolutely positively going to pass out.

Justin starts playing Monopoly on his screen, which I find completely hilarious because he picked the extremely hard mode, and he's getting beat into the ground. And that's saying something considering how high up in the sky we are.

"You suck." I say.

"I'm trying! This isn't easy."

"I know. It's extremely hard. The mode you put it on, yourself."

"Shut up."

I laugh, picking up my phone to check my Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, something I haven't done since yesterday, which is a record for me.

I GOT A PIG SOCKET!!!! and then I came up with this brilliant idea. The first person to correctly guess what a pig socket is and what I named mine will get a shout out in the next part. It's really not that hard lol but if I should keep doing things like this genius idea then LET ME KNOW
