I find my seat on the plane and squeeze into it. This is it. We're going home. Tanika and I have bought a house and when we get home we will pack and move out the next day.
I pull out my phone and take a photo of the plane window when Tani sits down. I post it on Instagram captioning it:
Coming home to a new life 👊
I'm ready 💪 @redheadandproud
As soon as I post it my phone goes off and I see a comment. It's from Cara. She practically lives on Instagram.
@carabanana: WE MISSED U 💕
I laugh and turn my phone off as the pilot speaks over the intercom telling us to prepare for takeoff.
When we takeoff and get into the air properly I turn my phone on again and see that I have messages.
Eden 💘: How's my baby girl going
Me: Good

I turn my phone off an ignore the dings for the rest if the flight.

I walk down the steps and into the chill. Tanika is just behind me. It's 7:00 an soon we'll be home. "Common" Tani calls pulling me by the hand and into the airport doors.
She runs to the baggage collect area and I walk behind her thoughts running through my head. We called a moving truck earlier today and told them the time and to bring boxes.
I find my suitcase and pull it off the conveyor belt and roll it to where Tanika is standing. "Let's go" she says cheerfully and walks to a taxi. I dump my suitcase into the back and get into the back seat with Tani.
She gives the driver directions and we head away from the airport and into a new life.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When I walk into my room I fall onto my bed and fall asleep instantly but am soon woken by a little hand tapping my arm. I open my eyes and see Seth standing there with his blanket.
"Rissy" he says in his little baby voice "Can I sweep wif you". I don't answer. I just lift him onto my bed and cuddle his little body into mine.
"I wuv you Rissy" he mumbles an I kiss his forehead. "I wuv you too Seth" I say and smile before sleep takes over me yet again.

This is getting really juvenile so the next couple chapters will be short. Sorry this one is. I just wanna finish. I have up on 'Free Spirited' and I was gonna do a story called '5 Points' but that got too juvenile so I didn't do it. I'm gonna start one called 'In a Plastic Society' after this so you should go read that! 3⃣ Left! 🍉💎🔥
