As the days passed along, it was finally time for everyone to make their way on the plane to Hawaii.

Liliana held her Mami's hand, while Liam held the other one.

The eight year old was really excited. Of course she wasn't sure if her Mami would like it if Dinah was there, but anything was worth a shot.

Her Mama had to be as far away from Camila as possible on the flight, and so she boarded the plane separately from the rest of the group.

Dinah sat in the far back, where she was certain Camila wouldn't go near.

Once the plane had started to get going, Liliana looked back from her seat at her Mama, who in return smiled and gave her daughter a thumbs up.

"I'm so excited!" Ally practically screamed. "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!"

"I've gone once before." Camila added. "I'm really happy to be going again!"

Everyone was sitting together on the plane, with the exception of Dinah of course.

Shawn sighed. "I just hope I down get major jet lag. That usually happens."

Kehlani scoffed at him. "That's what you say about getting carsick, and so I'm always the one who has to drive places while you take a nice snooze."

For the majority of the plane ride, there was typical family talk about life and all of that good stuff.

Even though Liliana knew that her aunts and uncles weren't technically family, she still felt so close to them.

"Lili. Pssst, Lili."

Liliana looked at her brother, who had called her name. "What is it?" she asked.

"Where da food?" he asked. "I'm hungy."

The eight year old giggled, handing him some chips that the flight attendant had provided them. "Here. And it's not 'hungy', it's pronounced hungary, Liam."

Camila cocked an eyebrow at her kids, laughing a bit. "It's not like the country either, Lili." she told her daughter. "It's actually pronounced as hungry."

All of a sudden, Lauren popped her head up from the seat in front of them.

"Sorry to interrupt your emotional family conversation, but can you please stop talking about being hungry? Cause it's actually making me hungry." she explained.

"Aunt Lauren, wan some chips?" Liam asked curiously, holding up the bag to the green eyed woman.

Lauren's eyes basically lit up. "Thanks kiddo." she said, grabbing a huge handful of chips.

Liam looked back into the bag, only to find that there were two chips left.

"I been duped." he mumbled.

Liliana shook her head. "Aunt Lauren is a thief."

Lauren scoffed at this, now looking at Camila. "Camz, where have your children learned such strong language, calling their favorite aunt a thief?"

"From you!" Liliana butted in, yelling happily.

Camila looked at her daughter, then to Lauren. She narrowed her eyes. "Oh? Is that so."

"Tell me Lili, what words has Auntie Lolo over here been saying around you?"

Liliana grinned, moving in closer to whisper in her Mami's ear.

Camila's eyes widened when hearing the words come out of the eight year olds mouth.

From afar, Dinah laughed to herself as she watched the scene unfold.
