Chapter 17

After having a good dinner of Japanese food, after all they were leaving Tokyo and would not know when they would return when they would enjoy a decent Japanese cuisine in Australia as it was there, they decided to check if everything was in order for the trip and went to rest to leave very early for the airport

------------------- AIRPORT -------------------------

Tom - Alice stay calm, this is going to be bad for you and the baby, it seems like you've never traveled by plane - Alice and Tom were holding hands in line to check in

Alice - I'm anxious Tom, you know I hate planes, but I'm also looking forward to meeting your family, especially Mrs. your mother.

Tom - No need to worry, everything will be fine, my mom will love you, you'll be great friends. Now let's make this check-in, don't worry, we're together, ok?

Alice - ok! hugs Tom - thanks for everything - Tom just hugs her tighter and gives her a kiss on the top of her head and finally they check in.

the process is fast, but they would be some time waiting until they board, they went to the VIP room to have a good breakfast and research some things about babies, after all they hadn't thought about doing this

Tom - What do you think Alice is?

Alice - you know, I never stopped to think about it, my life has been so crazy, I barely thought about this pregnancy

Tom - but don't you have a preference? I'd like it to be a little girl and that it's born with your face, especially with those eyes and that wonderful smile you have

Alice - That's not funny - I laughed shyly - Well, a girl would be nice, and I think I'd like it to be a girl, but it doesn't matter, what matters is that it's healthy

Tom - Do you have any name ideas?

Alice - well, if it's a boy, I want it to have your name, this child isn't even that big, and you're already giving him all the love and have been a great dad.

Tom - Really? - emotional -

Alice - Yes, if it's a boy it will have your name

Tom - I think I want it to be a boy - I laugh - I still want a girl, but what about a girl?

Alice - Well, when I was a child I used to name all my dolls Luna, I always loved that name, what do you think?

Tom - I think it's beautiful, you really love the moon don't you? You even got a tattoo of it

Alice - I don't even remember that tattoo

Tom - Why not?

Alice - You know very well that Alex did it, to leave a mark on me for the rest of my life, he doesn't even know how much he marked me, before it was just a 4cm tattoo

Tom - Well, he may be an idiot, but at least he got a nice tattoo and it's something you like, at least if one day your daughter sees it, she can say that she did it because she loves the moon and that's why we named her that

Alice - yeah it could be - a voice from the sound equipment announces the flight to Sydney - well that's our cue dear, shall we go?

Tom - extends his hand to her - let's go! ready to start our lives over?

Alice - laughs - no, but we have no choice, let's go anyway - takes his hand and they go to the boarding gate.

The trip lasted almost 10 hours, where Alice slept almost the whole way, except for the moment that Tom woke up to eat and then she went back to sleep, as she didn't like air travel she always took something to sleep, but due to the pregnancy she was afraid, so Tom had consulted his mother who indicated a floral that wouldn't do any harm.

When they arrived in Sydney, surprisingly who was waiting for them was not Martha, but Tom's cousin, who ran to see him jump on his lap and steal a kiss

XX - If it isn't the hottest cousin ever - Alice looks a bit jealous but doesn't say anything - Tom

Tom - Annie, will you come down? what will Alice think?

Annie - Relax honey, I'm not going to steal your man - Get off his lap and go towards her, hug her and steal a scary kiss from Alice - There's kisses for you too and for my niece/nephew too - Kisses her belly - Yes, I will be this child's aunt, the coolest aunt of all

Alice - still perplexed - cool, I think

Annie - relax baby, I don't bite, unless you want me to, I'm crazy, but I'm good people, hey my aunt said that she will do fashion college here ne? look how nice I'm going too, you could enroll in my class so we can be a couple, what do you think?

Tom - I think you are a busybody, we haven't even arrived and you are already bombarding Alice with information, where is my mother? what is wrong with her for asking you to come pick us up?

Annie - You are a pain in the ass, how can you like him? you chose the wrong member, you should have chosen me?

Alice - You? Are you? - not understanding

Annie - I am a free spirit, favor to love, I do not label myself to anything dear Alice

Alice - I think I understand

Tom - stop disturbing my fiancée and let's go soon we are tired

Annie - boring - shows his tongue - but let's go Aunt Martha made a feast for you

They go to the apartment that Alice and Tom would live in, and when Annie says that she has a feast for them, she really doesn't exaggerate, although she is quite crazy and exaggerated

Martha - son, I'm glad you took so long to arrive - looks at Dulce - aaaah, you are so beautiful, darling, even more beautiful in person. I'm so happy that you are here.

Alice - thank you ma'am

Martha - don't call me ma'am, just Martha, you must be tired, do you want to eat or take a bath first?

Tom - calm down mommy, your son is me, a hug would be nice

Annie - the spoiled baby is jealous? he's already lost his throne, Alice is much prettier than you and there is a baby in that belly. By the way are you sure? this belly is so flat

Martha - don't talk nonsense Annie, she's just the beginning, when you least expect it to be huge - smoothing her belly

Tom - I can't wait for her to be born and held in our arms

Martha - Oh how beautiful, my baby is going to be such a big daddy - going to her son, squeezing his cheeks and hugging him - I am sure he will be a great father, just like yours was so sweet. I'm sure he's very proud of you from wherever he is

Tom - I hope so, Mamma, if I am half as good as he was, I will be happy

Alice - I am sure that you will be the best father

Annie - How beautiful, well you look so beautiful, but I am starving, shall we eat soon?

Tom - Come on Alice needs to eat and I'm sure she will love mommy's food

They go to the table and talk about trivial things, laughing a lot with Annie's craziness, who guaranteed to take Alice to the best places in Sydney and take her to visit the college and wherever else she wanted
