Sage's POV

Today I got up before Mom since Christen's flight gets in soon. I left a note that says I got up early and went to get us breakfast. Right now I'm parking at the Philadelphia airport since it's the closest to Mom and I.

After parking I go inside to wait for Christen. I don't have to wait long because as soon as I get into the airport I see Christen getting her bags so I walk over to her. Okay I actually run over to her and she turns around as I'm like 10 feet away from her so I jump into her arms.

"Hi Chrissy." I say into her shoulder.

"Hi Sage." She says.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"Ready to go surprise Mom." She nods and we head to the car to make the thirty minute journey back to the house. During the drive we catch up with each other since we haven't seen each other in a few weeks. I missed Christen a lot and weirdly it feels like I missed her so much because she's become like a second mom to me.

Pulling up into the driveway I see mom sitting on the couch watching TV drinking coffee. Once the garage door is closed Christen and I walk into the house and wait in the kitchen for Mom to come get the breakfast I was suppose to get and a minute or two later she comes into the kitchen.

"Morning Sage." Mom says. I guess she didn't notice Christen.

"Morning Mom."

"How'd you...CHRISTEN!!" Mom finally notices and rushes over to Christen and hugs her tight then leans back and kisses her. It's kinda weird to see your mom kissing someone, but she's happy so I'm happy. I miss Mal.

"How are you here? Don't get me wrong I love having you here, but why are you here?" Mom asks when they break from their mini make-out session.

"Well I took a plane here and as for why am I here you can thank Sage for that." Christen says and Mom comes over and hugs me tightly.

"Merry early Christmas Mom." I say.

"I love you so much Sage."

"I love you too. Oh I forgot breakfast."

"Alright well let me go shower and we can go eat." Mom says to me then heads to the bathroom to shower. I take Christen to put her stuff away then we go and wait for Mom on the couch. 20 minutes later Mom is ready and we head to a local breakfast place.

During breakfast Mom and Christen talk while I eat and lean my head against Mom's shoulder. I'm still slightly nervous to be without Mom and as of late I've been getting a bit nervous that Mom will get fed up with my panic attacks and clinginess with her.

Once we get back from breakfast I head to my room, well the room where I put my clothes since I sleep in the same bed as mom. After I get into the room I call Mal needing to talk to her about what I've been feeling lately.

"Hey babe." Mal says when she picks up the phone causing me to smile.

"Hey." I say.

"Sage what's wrong?" She asks since I usually would call her by her name or a nickname.

"Do you think my Mom would get rid of me?"

"What? Sage where is this coming from?"

I let out a big sigh. "I don't know. Probably insecurities. Yeah definitely insecurities."

"I don't understand."

"Well Mom had an interview and the interviewer asked me if it was hard to have a famous mother and I said no but it is hard. I don't want to let her down. I don't want to ruin her image. I'm surprised nobody found out I was taken before the last camp..."
