Being in the plane is such a surreal thing. The world is sleeping under my feet and I'm in the sky, wide awake, looking at the clouds and stars. I didn't know, but brad bought us first class seats. He's leaned back in the seat beside me, asleep. We've been flying for 10 hours now. We only have about an hour and a half until we land in London and tris comes to pick us up. I'm so nervous to meet his family. I don't have the best luck with family, obviously. Brad is the closest thing to a family that I've ever had. I look down at my tummy and realize that I'll finally have someone forever. Someone that can't leave because they'll depend on me. I'll teach them how to brush their hair and clean their teeth. I'll show them how to read and write. They'll be completely dependent on me.
"What are you?" I say to my tummy, placing my hand over it again. "Are you a boy? A girl? Are you Eloise?" I rub little circles around my belly button with my index finger. Brad rolls over in his sleep and places his hand on my belly and rubs for a moment before falling back asleep. "Whoever you are, I love you." I say and look back out the window.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stay seated, as the fasten seatbelt sign is still lit up. We are going to taxi around for a bit as they get a space cleared for us to park the plane. You may now take out those cellular devices and remove airplane mode. Let your friends and family know you've landed safe, and we will get you off of here as fast as possible. Thank you for choosing our airline to travel home." The flight attendant says into the speaker.
"Brad." I shake him to wake him up. "Babe, were here." I say as his eyes flicker open.
"I'm so sorry I fell asleep. How was the flight?" He stretches up and kisses me.
"It was amazing." I say to him, honestly. I had so much time to clear my head and just think.
"I'm glad." He smiles as he pulls his phone out and texts Tristan then his mom letting them know we've landed.
The wait to get off the plane seemed endless, but once we got off it was like a rush of emotions hit me all at once. Walking off the plane, through the tunnel to get back into the airport was so intense. As soon as we stepped off the plane a rush of wind hit us from the small space between the connection of the tunnel and the plane. It was cold and I instantly got chills. Once we got into the airport and made our way to the baggage claim brad pulled out a sweatshirt and draped it over my shoulders.
"Thank you." I say to him as I hear the conveyor belt start moving, telling us our bag is coming. Brad stands beside it and grabs our luggage once it comes around to him.
"Ready?" He asks while nodding his head towards the door leading outside.
"As I'll ever be." I respond and he takes my hand in one hand and pulls the suitcase in the other. We walk outside and wait for tris for a while but he finally pulls up after what seems like an hour. He jumps out and pops his trunk for us.
"Hello, beautiful." He pulls me in for a hug then moves to brad. "How was your flight, mate?" He asks him.
"It was great! Slept the whole way through." He laughs and so does tris.
"And how about you?" He asks me.
"I stayed up the whole time. But it was nice." I smiled at him. I'm really very tired now. It's almost 5 am here but it's only 8:30 pm in LA. Brad warned me about the time difference and jet lag but it's really hitting me now.
"Well you can take a little nap in the car if you'd like. It'll be about 2 hours if the traffic isn't bad." Tris tells me. I nod my head and we all get in the car and I do exactly that.
Brad's POV
It feels so good to see these familiar streets and places. It's nice to be home with my beautiful girl.
"So how was the flight?" Tris asked
"It was alright. I slept the whole time." I replied.
"How's she doing?" He leans his head back towards Kylie.
"She's alright," I turn my head to look back at my beautiful sleeping girl, "She's scared shitless to tell my parents."
"Are you? That's big, mate." His eyes are peeled on the road.
"Not really. I mean I am, but I know my mum and she will love the both of them. They all will love them." I tell him. I do mean it. I know they will be shocked but they will support and love us.
Tris and I sat and talked most of the car ride. Kylie is still sleeping in the back seat. We start passing restaurants that my family and I used to go to, that I'm now picturing taking Kylie and our child into. We're driving by old streets I used to skate down with my friends, that I can now see Kylie and I pushing a stroller down. It's bloody mad to think there's going to be a small person that we've created, running around.
We pull down the street that I've grown up on and I get a bit anxious. It's been so long since I've been home and I'm a bit intimidated by walking in.
"Kye." I turn around slightly in my seat towards her and place my hand on her forearm and shake. "We're here, darling." I watched as her eyes flickered open. The most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen
She sits up and brushes the hair out of her face. "Are you ready?" She asks.
"I was born ready." I smile at her and open up my door then make my way around the car to open up hers. She steps out and stands for just a moment, then grabs my hand. Tris grabbed our bags out of the back of the car and waits for us to meet him on the sidewalk.
"Thanks again for picking us up, man." I say to tris and Kylie does the same.
"Yeah, thank you." She smiles at him.
"No problem! Text me about practice and stuff. I'll be around."
"Will do, brother. Text me when you get home." I respond.
"Will do. Love you guys." He says as he ducks his head into his car and shuts the door.
"Love you too!" Kylie and I respond simultaneously.
Tris peels off down the road and before we know it, Kylie and I are left alone. The only thing left to do is go in. We approach the door and I knock and hear the familiar bark of my dog, Jesse, then hear my mother and sister both shout "they're here!" As they pad there feet across the floor towards the front door. This is it. The door clicks open and I see my mums face.
