2 Weeks Later - Bienvenue à Paris

—Bienvenue à la cité de l'amour -says a woman, clearly from Paris, she's being our guide in the city since it's hard enough to come to a country with a foreign language that you don't speak-

—Thank you -we say, chuckling at our faces-

—Have you been here before? -the woman ask-

—Yeah -Ashton responds- many times already, but it's always good to be back

—My girlfriend and son will arrive in some minutes, this is their first time here, actually. -I say excited, just thinking that in some minutes I'll be reuniting with my family-

—Are they excited? -she asks without taking her eyes off the way-

—My girlfriend is

—Did the airplane landed already? -Ashton asks looking at the airport screens-

—Yeah. Look, flight 9712 from Sydney to Paris, it's theirs and it says "landed"

—So they'll be here in a little -Crystal says without holding her excitement- 

Sierra and Crystal are with us, we arrived one day ago. Today, everyone decided to come with me, they want to see Madeleine after so long, they want to support her after all she's been through, and of course, they want to see my little -not so little- Wyatt, who's know so tremendous, talking and walking around every place.

—Here they are! Look at Wyatt! -Michael says excited, all of our eyes go into a search for Madeleine and Wyatt, who were coming our way with suitcases and Wyatt holding his mom's hand-

I feel the adrenaline kicking into my body, after two weeks that felt like two thousand years, I'm seeing my family. Besides, Madeleine have always wanted to know France, Paris more than anything, and I have tons on plans for us during our stay in the city. Once Madeleine and Wyatt came through the barrier that is separating us, I run to them, holding Wyatt in my arms and surrounding them into a hug, giving them thousands of pecks all over their faces. I couldn't stop smiling.

—I missed you sooo much -I whisper into her ear, still not breaking the hug even though Wyatt's working hard to break it-

—And I missed you, babe -she's sobbing a bit and I could notice it thanks to her voice. We separate and I give her a couple of kisses, still not believing we're together again- I almost got lost, if it wasn't thanks to someone that helped me, I don't know where could I have ended up in -she chuckles, making me smile-

—Daddy, I misssssed u -says Wyatt, who now speaks way better, even though his pronunciation isn't a 20/20-

—And I missed you, son -I say hugging him a little bit more- do you want to see your uncles?

—I wunt to see Mikey -he says giggling and I laugh at his comment-

—Michael, he wants to see only you -I say out loud-

—Where's my favourite nephew? -Wyatt almost throws himself into Michael's arms-

—Uncle! -he says excited, kissing his uncle's cheek-

Michael walks to Madeleine to greet her as I start to grab her suitcases, the others went to say hi as well, they were respecting our little time, that's why they were apart. Everyone's trying to hold Wyatt but he wouldn't let go of Michael, there is clearly favouritism, so clear that is even funny. We didn't spend much time in the airport since Madeleine's so excited to get to know the city, she's like a little girl who's opening up Christmas' presents.
