Tessa POV

It has been almost five weeks since Hardin has left from his business trip and I am losing my mind. I remember him offering to come with but with the new wedding planning business I started I have been booked completely.

After moving to New York with Landon and his wife, it has been a little more easier to cope with since their presence in near.

The house me and Hardin bought couldn't have been anymore perfect. It's a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn so it does get busy most of the time, but other than that it has been perfect.

The apartment has been quiet without hes presence, making me ache for him more and more everyday.

Tomorrow I finally get to see him after five weeks of torture

I go through my suitcase to check if I have packed everything I need. I even send an"I miss you, and can't wait to see you" text in the meantime

It's 8:50 when I check the time and Landon has then texted me that he is close. He was kind enough to to drive me to the airport and honestly saved me from taking a cab.

After I eat a quick breakfast I get another text from Landon saying that he is here

I grab my suitcase and make sure I locked the door. Once I turn around I see Landon already getting out of his car, helping me put my suitcase away

"Thank you so much Landon, I really appreciate it" I say hugging him

"It's honestly no problem Tessa, we should get going now because the traffic is horrible" he states

We both go in the car and i look out the window to see how beautiful New York is.

I place my hands on my lap to try to contain myself but I can tell Landon notices me shaking and looks up to me

"You okay?"He says giving me a concerned look

"Ya, idk I'm just a little nervous" I say looking down. He gives me a soft smile

"Tessa everything is going to be fine trust me, I'm sure.. no I 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 he misses you just as much as you do"I give him a heartwarming smile

We finally arrive to the airport and I thank Landon and give him the biggest hug, he helps me with my luggage and waves me goodbye as he passes cars to leave.

After going through the dreadful security and getting my ticket I finally reach my gate number, and too no surprise I am thirty minutes early.

I decide to just read while I wait since I have already ate

While I'm reading one of my new novels I hear a crying baby that is sitting right across from me with her mom

The mother quiets the baby and rocks her and sings her lullaby's to sleep, I can't help but awe in the moment and feel the heat of baby fever

I imagine Hardin and I raising a baby of our own, but after my miscarriage we haven't talked about children since then

Finally after an hour after another of delays I finally get on the plane. To my luck I am seated with the same lady with her baby. The baby seems to look like about 8 months or so

I check my phone on the time, only to see hardins name popped out. Shit I forgot that I texted him earlier. There are at least four missed calls from him and I can't help but roll my eyes on how he over reacts when I don't answer back.

I look through the texts

"𝖨 𝗆𝗂𝗌𝗌 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗍𝗈𝗈, 𝖺𝗋𝖾 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗌𝗎𝗋𝖾 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝖽𝗈𝗇𝗍 𝗐𝖺𝗇𝗍 𝗆𝖾 𝗍𝗈 𝗉𝗂𝖼𝗄 𝗒𝗈𝗎 𝗎𝗉 𝖿𝗋𝗈𝗆 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖺𝗂𝗋𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗍? 𝖨 𝖼𝖺𝗇 𝗃𝗎𝗌𝗍 𝖼𝖺𝗇𝖼𝗅𝖾 𝗆𝗒 𝗆𝖾𝖾𝗍𝗂𝗇𝗀" I read and I can't help but smile, it says that he replied 20 minutes ago so I can only imagine how Hardin is handling without my response so I quickly reply"no", because as much as I want to see him, I don't know if I'm fully ready. Does my hair and make up look good? Does he still love? The possibilities are endless in my head.

As I finish texting Hardin I set my phone on airplane mode and put it in my backpack.

I put on my seat belt and let my shoulders relax. Then the baby starts poking me and I open my eyes to look at her. The mother hasn't noticed yet, but Im to shy to say something.

The baby then gives me the biggest smile and I can't help but look how adorable she is. Her eyes are mixed with green and brown, making it a beautiful mixed color, and she has the lightest brown hair, making it look almost dirty blonde.

Soon the mother notices and quickly apologizes, but I tell her no worries. When then start talking and she goes on about motherhood, and I can't help but smile as she talks.

I find out that her name is Sierra and her baby's name is aspen. I also find out that Sierra and I are only 2 years apart, her being older.

After our conversation is over the plane then starts to fly, and sleep the whole ride.
