Piper decided to sleep in late that morning. At 1:00 a.m., Charlotte and her were still requesting the cha cha slide to the DJ for the umpteenth time.
As she descended the stairs, she was greeted by her parents who were having breafast.
"Good morning baby! Did you sleep well?" Asked Siren between two sips of coffee.
"I guess but I don't really feel well rested. I think I was doing the cupid shuffle in my dream." Half-joked the blond.
"Yeah you and Charlotte were really going at it last night. Even Henry and Jasper were going full out on those dances." Continued the older woman.
"I know! Jasper kept bumping into me." Laughed Piper as she remembered Jasper trying to learn the steps.
"That boy isn't the most coordinated one!" Said Jake while reading is newspaper.
Piper and her mom shared a look as Siren raised an eyebrow.
"Reminds me of someone!" She said looking at her husband who was completely oblivious.
Piper smiled. Jasper did resembled her father a lot sometimes.
'It's funny how they say that girls always marry someone who's like their...wait, nevermind.' Piper shook her head shooing that thought away.
A ding echoed in the house as Jake looked at his phone.
"Henry says they're boarding the plane right now!" Shared the father.
In the plane
"Stop fidgeting, it's gonna be fine!" Said Henry to his wife.
"No it's not gonna be fine! You know I hate planes!!!" Replied a Charlotte on edge. Her husband's laid-back attitude was just increasing her irritation.
"I know but you got me now. I can hold your hand if you get scared." Replied the blond with a charming smile while taking her hand.
"Oh like that's gonna help anything!" She answered with her usual sassiness.
Henry just smiled because no matter what she said, he felt her hand tighten.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I'll be your pilot today..."
"OH NO!" Charlotte shrieked as soon as she heard the pilot talking knowing they were about to take off.
Henry suppressed an 'ow' from the tight grip of his wife. The second the plane started moving though, she let go of his hand to grab his arm instead and rested her head on his shoulder. With closed eyes, she kept repeating 'I love you Henry' incase something went wrong during the flight.
Her husband had to whisper soothing words in her ear the whole trip but it's not like he minded.
