It is a ice cold day in Paris.
Though the average was 37 it fell to 30 degrees.
Not everything was moonshine and roses.
Maya's little sister, Raven, is almost eight months now and has something called colic.
It has been a rough few months since Maya left NYC and she hasn't been doing great.
She will admit that when she with all honesty.It is ten the morning and both Maya's parents got the day off.
It almost never happens so they try to enjoy it.
Maya also took the day of because she urgently needed it.
As soon as she opens her eyes from her late sleeping she hears crying.
She rubs her eyes and decides to get up.
She gets dressed and went in front.Maya's outfit 👆
"So how much more sleepless nights?" Maya asks her mom while she is trying to help Raven.
"We can't help her Maya. It's colic," Katy said annoyed by Maya.
"Yeah I know," Maya said and Katy looked at her arm.
Sound asleep and Maya sights.
Katy puts Raven in her crib and Maya pours coffee.
"Listen I have been thinking a lot about this and I'm going back to New York," Maya said and Shawn looked at Katy.
"Oh boy," Shawn said and putted his hand in front of his eyes rubbing them.
"I am going to pay for it myself. I have saved up a lot of money," Maya said.
"How long?" Katy asked and Maya took a sip of her coffeem
"Looking into it permanently. I am not coping very good," Maya said.For quite a while now Katy and Shawn have not only. Been struggling with Raven but also with Maya.
Days when she won't get out of bed or even open her eyes."Okay. What can we do?" Shawn asked.
"Nothing. I am going to face it on my own. Listen Dad. Why can't we open a branch in New York for the photography?" Maya asked tryng to find a solution.
"I'll think about it," Shawn said and Katy smiled.
"Okay. I better book a flight," Maya said and went back to her room to book it.
"Maybe we should consider it. She is truly unhappy here," Katy said and Shawn took a moment to think about it.
Maya went on her computer and looked for the first flight to New York.
She found one for tomorrow at two the morning.
She booked it and crabbed her phone.In New York
Riley has already kinda had dinner with her family.
An early 16:00 dinner since her mom was home early for a change.
Her phone rings and she jumps out of her skin when she sees who it is.
"Hey Riles," Maya said.
"Hi Maya. How are you?" Riley asked very glad to hear Maya's voice since it had been a rough day at college too.
"Better. I am coming home," Maya said and Riley laughed.
"For how long?" Riley asked knowing it won't be for long.
"Permanent," Maya said and Riley was quite.
"For real. This time. It's just going to be me," Maya said.
"Oh. Okay. When are you coming?" Riley asked and Maya did the sums.
"Flight is booked for tomorrow. I fly at eight from Paris and then I will be landing at three o'clock. All NYC times," Maya said.
"Ah great," Riley said and screamed a little bit but quite.
"I just wanted to let you know. How are you?" Maya asked.
"I'm doing good actually. Me and Lucas are in a great place," Riley said.Lucas Friar.
The same guy the got back with when Maya was leaving in January.
She is glad to hear things are going good.
"I'm glad. Listen ask your mom if I can stay at your place but only awhile. I'll get to your place by myself," Maya said.
"I will. Gotta go. Bye," Riley said and hang up.
She needed time to tell her mom about everything."Mom Maya is coming home and apparently it's to stay," Riley said
Cory looked at his daughter and knew something was up.
"What does Shawn say?" Cory asked.
"He doesn't like it but Maya hasn't been doing to okay. Can she stay here?"
"Of course," Topanga said.
"Just until she can afford her own place," Riley said.
"It's okay. Auggie," Topanga called her only son.
A boy around ten years old comes running to his mom.
"Yes?" Auggie said.
"Maya is coming home," Cory said.
"Yippee!"
Riley laughed and rubbed her brother's hair.
"Yeah. I hope everything is okay. She sounded a little down," Riley said.
"When is she coming?" Cory asked.
"Tomorrow. Said she wil be landing at three the afternoon," Riley said.
"Wow. Short notice," Topanga said.
"She said she'll get here on her own," Riley said.
"Okay," Topanga said and putted the kettle on.
"Sounds like she has it all under control," Cory said and Riley looked at him.
"She thinks so. But I don't think she has. I think she is having a hard time."In Paris
It's a few hours later.
About eleven at nights.
Raven was asleep and Maya was putting the last of her stuff in her suitcase.
She heard the business is being moved and couldn't wait to see everyone's faces.
She quickly showered and putted the last in her suitcase.
Since her flight was leaving at two she has to be on the airport at midnight.
She didn't put on pajamas but her clothes which she will be flying in.Maya's outfit 👆

She brushed her teeth and then she went down stairs with the suitcase.
She putted it down and quickly went up again.
She grabbed her backpack and went down again.
"Ready?" Shawn asked.
"You can out the suitcase in the car Dad," Maya said and walked over to he rmom and Raven.
"Why don't you hold her? When you see her again she will be grown up."
Maya smiled and took her little sister.
"Hey Ravvie," Maya said and Raven started to cry a little.
"It's okay. I'm going to miss you but I will see you again. I promise."
"Time to go Maya," Shawn said and Katy took Raven.
"Look after yourself," Katy said and huged Maya.
"Love you."
"Love you too Mom. Bye Raven. Let's go," Maya said and they were off.The moment they were on the airport Maya texted Riley to say she is there.
Shawn unloaded Maya's suitcase and closed the boot.
"Take care sweetheart," Shawn said and hugged Maya.
"You too. Love you Dad," Maya said.
"Love you too. Text when you land. Bye," Shawn said and climbed back into his car.
Maya waved goodbye and went to check in.
