Never Is Our Always

Home Sweet Home 6

(Minnie pov)

I happily hum as we walked down the stairs in the airport, we were getting breakfast since we past all of the security.

"You awake?" I ask Fred with an amused laugh, he looked like he wanted to fall asleep while he walked beside me.

"No," he mumbled, "what about you?"

"Oh I'm bright and bushy tailed," I replied sarcastically. Fred looked down to me as I glance at him before smiling.

"Shut up," he muttered and I snorted a small laugh.

"Nah," I replied, "I'm buzzing."

"Can I have some energy?" I kiss the back of his hand and then hugged his arm. "Thanks gorgeous."

"We'll get some coffee soon," he nods as he rubbed his face before yawning. It was just becoming sunrise outside, the sky was turning orange and pink, it looked so wonderful.

"Yay."

Fred fell asleep with his head in my lap in the waiting area, I held my book in one hand while scratching his cheek with the other.

"Mommy, look at that man and lady!" I closed my eyes, trying to not look at them, it would make the baby fever I had grow.

"They're in love, honey," I heard their mother say as I open my eyes and then peered over my book to see them. It was a dark skinned couple and their kid looked so beautiful.

"Oh my gosh," I whispered, the little girls eyes were a piercing blue. "Hi little one, what's your name?" I asked her in awe.

"My names Billy!" She giggled to me, "what's your name?"

"My names Alice," I held my hand out and she held my finger.

"Alice!" Billy repeated with a chirp, "mommy! Daddy! Her names Alice!" She told her parents.

"That's nice, sweetie, but the mans sleeping so Shh!" Her mother said and Billy giggles.

"Sorry mister!" Fred stirred in his sleep before clearing his throat as he opened his eyes.

"No worries love," he answered Billy, "hi there." She giggles as he slowly sat up and fixed his hair.

"Hi, I'm Billy!" She greets him happily.

"Hi Billy, I'm Fred," he smiled as she touched his knee with her little hands. I watched her with a small head tilt and a kind smile.

"Your daughter is adorable," I told them.

"Thank you, she loves people! It's hard to get her away from them!" Her mother laughs, "girl your hair looks amazing! How do you keep it so curly?!"

"Oh, I have so many products, it's a nightmare!" We both laugh before Billy touched my knee, a small gasp of surprise left my lips before I look at her with a wide smile.

"Alice!" She said, "up! Up!" I look to her parents to see if it was okay.

"C-Can I?" I ask sheepishly.
