While me and Kelly take a seat in the lounge area. Kelly has always been like a sister, l asked her to be our daughter's Godmother
Stef already knows about this
Kelly asks how do l know it's going to be a girl. My little angel Princess told me in a dream, she knows who l was referring to

Stef hugged me and said it's okay
And kissed me on the lips
We continued walking through the tunnel. It took five minutes
to walk the whole way through
We board the plane, the stewardess shows us to our seats
I sat by the window. I fasten my seat belt, Stef was already strapped in hers. I laid my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes.
