After being in the air for over 10 hours and smelling like dry Barf they arrived in Athens safe and sound. Once the plane had landed Brandon gently tried to wake Tanya up " Mmm" Tanya groaned.
" Tanya babe, we are here" Brandon gently shook her again.
Tanya slowly woke up, looked round and saw that she was laying on Brandon's chest " Oh I'm sorry" Tanya said moving.
" Don't be silly, I rather enjoyed it" Brandon winked.
" So did I" Tanya smirked.
they waited to get off the air craft, " dad Lolly's a sleep" Maddie said
Brandon bent down and picked her up and carried her towards the exit and waited for Rosie, Tanya, Jackson and Maddie to follow behind.
" mom how long is it since you've been back here?" Jackson asked
" you know what I'm not sure I'm guessing....I must have been pregnant with you Jackson so.....Ten years ago...." Tanya glanced at Rosie who Nodded " oh yeah that damn trip, I've never seen your mother or let alone anyone barf as much as that and I'm surprised she's aloud back on the boat" Rosie shuddered at the memory " Yeah gee thanks for that Rosie, I seriously needed to be reminded of that" Tanya rolled her eyes and Jackson laughed " What seriously my mom? Miss I have to be perfect at all times to puking queen" Jackson was shocked " Whats that supposed mean?" Tanya frowned " I just can't imagine you doing anything like that" Jackson shrugged " that was nothing... your mother was pretty wild back in the day"Rosie laughed.
" OMG Seriously What did she do?" Jackson asked.
" That's enough and Rosie don't say a word" Tanya snapped.
"So it was really ages ago since you last came here then mom" Maddie said and Tanya sighed " yes sadly but, I wouldn't change a thing" Tanya smiled as she looked at Brandon who winked at Tanya.
They headed through passport control and then through to baggage claim and then once they were through they waited outside to make sure they were all there together.
" wow it's so hot!" Jackson said wiping his brow.
" how come it's taken us such along time to come here?" Maddie said smiling.
" I don't know Maddie but I am happy to be back" Maddie and Lolly smiled seeing the glisten in their mothers eyes.
" it's beautiful already and we are only at the airport" Brandon said looking round taking it all in but he had his eye on Tanya the whole time.
" shall we get going so, we can get on the boat and finally get there" Brandon said gesturing to the taxis already waiting. Tanya and Rosie took their own taxi whist Brandon , Jackson ,Maddie and Lolly into one car and made their way to the dock to kalokairi.
Once they reached the dock they got out the taxi and showed their passports to the small passport control.
"Ah...the dynamos are back...you look more beautiful than the last time I saw you ladies" the guard smirked
" Hold up, I'm gonna stop you right there" Tanya held her hand up " I wasn't available then and I am still unavailable now and you remember me and Rosie being in a rush " the guard nodded " well we are in that snake rush today" the guard look Tanya up and down and Brandon didn't like the guy flirting with his wife and to make sure the guard understood that Tanya was his he wrapped his arm round her tight " Is this your family" the guard gestured to Brandon and the children.
" Yes...yes it is" Tanya said leaning further into Brandon and placed a hand upon his chest.
" Mom...?" Jackson said tugging her arm.
" I think that's the boat we need isn't it aunty Rosie?" Rosie glanced out to the dock to see the small boat they need coming in.
" Yes that's the boat we need, good spot Jackson" Rosie smiled at Jackson.
"Mom!" Maddie said forcefully.
" Yes Maddie What is it?" Tanya snapped slightly.
" When you're quite finished catching up in old times, Maddie is trying to tell you that the boats here" Jackson said sarcastically
" Well nice to see you again but we gotta go" Tanya smiled at the guard.
They picked up their luggage and rushed towards the boat and as usual Tanya was wearing her stilettos only this time Tanya took off her shoes and rushed towards the boat.
Brandon reached the boat and climbed aboard and helped Rosie andJackson on to the boat.
"I can't do it" Maddie panicked as she stood at the dock staring into the water below.
" Yes you can princess. Don't look down and all you have to do is take my hand and I'll lift you onto the boat " I can't I'm scared" Maddie sobbed.
Tanya finally caught up " What's going on?" Tanya said breathlessly.
" Maddie is being a big baby and won't get on the boat" Jackson smirked.
" shut up Jackson No I'm not" Maddie bit back and without knowing it she stepped on to the boat to get to Jackson.
" Sweetie you did it" Tanya said brightly.
"OMG I did it" Maddie squealed.
" I knew that would work" Jackson said with a rather smug look upon his face.
" Sweetie your next" Tanya said to Lolly who just climbed onto the boat without any hesitation. Tanya climbed on to the boat with her shoes still in her hands. There was a slight wave and the boat rocked causing Tanya to loose her balance and Brandon reach out to catch her and they both went crashing to the floor " Ugh" Brandon groaned " oh my .....I'm so sorry honey" Tanya said trying to get up but Brandon pulled her back down " Brandon what are you doing?" Tanya frowned.
Brandon look into Tanya's eyes and Tanya smiled seeing a cheeky spark in them. Brandon leant forward so his lips gently grazed Tanya's and seconds later Tanya crushed her lips on top of Brandon's and they shared a meaningful and passionate kiss. Everyone on the boat cheered and whistled, Rosie rolled her eyes, Jackson covered his face with his hand in embarrassment, Maddie screwed up face seeing her parents making out " Ugh that's so gross" Maddie groaned and Lolly giggled.
They pulled a part only to realise that they had a audience " ermm babe I think we should get up now" Tanya blushed.
" OMG That was so embarrassing! Couldn't you wait until we get to aunty Donna's at least " Jackson moaned.
Tanya got up and dusted herself off to make sure she looked immaculate as always, she ran her hands over short styled bob to smooth it over and casually put her shoes back on as if nothing happened.
