"Okay, thank you Baby. They'll be here tomorrow morning. So you guys can go to bed" Scarlett said and the kids nodded their heads and went upstairs to their room leaving the parents in the living room.
Chris goes to Scarlett's side and hugs the woman that he loved tightly. Many things happened tonight and they need a moment to soak it in.
"We just got them back and now they're going to be away from us for another 3 months" Scarlett mumbles quietly.
Chris just sways them both. A comfort motion.
"In 2 weeks. We'll make the best time we have with them for 2 weeks and then they're going away for only 3 months and they'll come back to us this time" Chris exclaimed "They are going to come back to us"
Scarlett just hummed.
"And we gotta tell Mimi about us too. You know how your mother was. She's going to know by just staring at us and she's a scary woman when she knows we hide things from her" Chris continued making Scarlett groan at the realization.
Her whole family is gonna be happy with this news but she sure as hell they're gonna tease the hell out of her too!
They know for a very long time that these two knuckleheads have feelings for each other ever since they are in each other's life.
"I know, I know. I'm gonna be there with you the whole time okay?" Chris laughed.

Upstairs,
Alexa has just finished getting ready for bed when Axel knocks on the door and settles himself down on Alexa's bed.
Alexa just raised her eyebrows at her twin brother in question knowing Axel's face that carrying question all over it
"I know what you're doing" Axel started
"What?" Alexa asks, acting dumbly as she moves to her study table and turns on her laptop.
Axel just sighs in exasperation.
"Easily agreeing on meeting with Mama's whole family? And then eagerly wanting to go to London after you see Mama and Dad's reaction knowing that we're gonna be away from them for 3 months" Axel states
"You know London Broadway has been my dream ever since I was 9" Alexa explained shortly.
"I know that but I also know that you're using this to test Mama and Papa aren't you?" Axel prompts
Alexa turn around to face her brother with her blank face
"Why? Is it wrong for me to do it after they're the one who caused me to have trust issues with people, especially them?" Alexa whisper-yelling at him.
"Alexa, people intend to break promises. We're human. We're not perfect but they are trying. I know I can't make you trust them once again and I'm not gonna do it after what happened last time, Bear. But after seeing everything, I saw them breaking down and the pain in their eyes that they held when they know they are the one who hurts us so much when they think they protecting us by it" Axel explained
Alexa of course knows that. She saw it with her eyes too. That's why she was still here with them and not giving up giving them their chances with her. But it's sometimes too much and she needs to stand her ground to make them know that it's not gonna be easy after everything that has happened.
Especially on Scarlett, Mama.
"I saw the pain in Mama's eyes, Pupu. But I need to let Mama know that she's the one who causes it and so she'll not take it lightly anymore on doing it again. I want Mama to learn her lesson because I don't know if I can take the heartbreak from Mama ever again or not" Alexa exclaimed quietly
