Helga's POV

Five years has passed since Arnold and I had graduated high school and moved away from our childhood home. It's been peaceful and Laura has grown up really big. She's has been going to kindergarten and has been improving very much. Arnold works as social worker for younger kids and I am a stay at home mom who is in the middle of writing her book. I am happy with my family and love every moment that I am with them. I still keep in contact with Phoebe and the others from time to time. Since Laura's sixth birthday was coming up Arnold and I was planning on going to visit Hillwood. As I began to cook dinner I heard the doorbell so I went to go answer it.

It was Arnold and Laura but he had brought Tai food home. I sighed at him and took Laura from him. "Tia food again?" I questioned

"Yes dear, we are eating Tai food again" Arnold said as he leaned closer to my lips and kissed it.

"Eww" Laura said as she saw that.

"As long as you are saying that I have nothing to worry about" Arnold said as he rubbed her head.

I put Laura down and watched her take off her shoes. "So how was school today?" I asked as I took the Tai food and put it in the kitchen.

"It was good mommy. I learn how to spell my name" Laura said as she ran over to her table

"And how do you spell your name?" Arnold asked as he closed the door behind him and walked over to the kitchen with me.

" A" Laura said as she put her book bag on the shelf.

"That's really good" I said happily as I brought out the plates.

"What is your whole name?" Arnold said as he took out the silverware

"Laura Mable Pataki" Laura said as she washed her hands in the sink.

"You get smarter every day. I am proud" Arnold said. "Also remember when you are done eating start your homework"

Laura dried her hands. "I know daddy." She sat at the table and I served everyone dinner. Arnold talked about his day at work while I said how I cleaned the house. Laura told us more about her day and once we were done eating I told Laura to start her homework as Arnold and I clean the dishes.

"I got a call from Gerald while I was at work" Arnold said as I handed him the wet plates so he can dry them.

"Oh what did he say?" I asked as I washed another dish.

"He said that everything is still good over there. That everyone is missing us and that we should come back soon." He said as he waited for me to give him a wet plate.

"Well summer is around the corner we can spend the summer over there. Laura hasn't seen her grandmother in a while" I said as I handed him a wet plate.

He dried the plate and put it away. "I'm glad you think that because I already had gotten us tickets to go visit next week. It's been what a three years since we been there. I feel like we should live there for a bit so Laura would understand the feeling of living in the city." Arnold said with a smile on his face.

I just crossed my arms and looked at him. "Arnold, really? How many times have I told you not to make a choice without me? I don't want to change Laura's schools. She wouldn't understand what is going on. We can't change her life just because you miss living there. I admit it's a good idea but at the end of the day I feel like we are safer here than there." I replied

Arnold sighed hard. "Helga at least let Laura choose." Arnold said

"Fine Arnold, well do it your way. Laura can you come here darling" I yelled out.

Laura came into the kitchen and sat in her seat. "Am I in trouble?" She asked

"No baby. Mommy and I just want to ask you a question" Arnold looked at her

"Yes?" Laura looked at the both of us.

"Remember when mommy and daddy were telling you about the place that we grew up in? Well what if we said you can come with us and live with us there?" Arnold smiled

Laura seemed confused. "Is that place where it snows a lot during the winter?" Laura question

I nodded and her eyes opened wide. "We will go there for the summer time for your birthday. Only then you will let us know if you want to live there okay?" I told her

"Yes mommy."

"Okay you can go back to doing your homework." Arnold said. Laura got up pushed her chair in and ran off to her room. I looked back at Arnold and shook my head.

"Honey are you sure about this? You would have to change your job location, I would have to change her school. There's going to be a lot of changes." I sat down at the table.

Arnold leaned close to me and kissed my forehead. "Helga , I'll handle everything you just stay pretty okay?" He said as he put the food away in the fridge. It became night time and I took Laura a bath, got her dressed and read her a bedtime story. I then took a shower, got dressed and laid in bed next to Arnold.

Arnold had his reading glasses on and his laptop on the bed. His hair was messy and was too focus on what he was doing to notice I was laying next to him. I took out my book and began to read it. This was normal in our relationship. We took care of Laura, made sure she goes to school, while Arnold goes to work. I clean the house and do yard work. Trying to write a book and get it published. We don't really have sex as much anymore and if we do it's just because we are either drunk or if Laura is in school and he doesn't have to work. I slowly fell asleep. Thank god it's Friday night so I can wake up late.

Arnold's POV

I stood up all night to make sure everything was going according to plan. I got the tickets to go back to Hillwood, picking out the school Laura can go to if she wants to stay. I got our old apartment back and Laura can finally see her great-grandparents again.

"Daddy, Daddy wake up" I heard Laura yell as she jumped on the bed

I opened my eyes and looked at her with tired eyes. "Yes Laura?" I groan as I rubbed my eyes

"Mommy told me to wake you up" Laura said as she jumped some more. I yawned and picked her up, carried her downstairs and into the kitchen. I see Helga making breakfast so I go over to her and hand her Laura who was now clinging on to her.

"Arnold really?" She asked as she demanded Laura to get down which she did.

I sat at the table as I put my head in my hands. "Why did you send her to wake me up" I asked as I see Laura running around.

"It's your father daughter day remember?" She said as she put a plate of food in front of me.

I rubbed my face and had a slight headache. "Look, I'm not feeling good. I'll take her out later" I said in a groggy voice.

"Daddy sounds like a monster" Laura said as she appeared at the table

"Daddy is sleepy because he was forced to wake up" I shot glares at Helga.

"Well excuse me sir for trying to help you with your father daughter day" Helga shot glares my way.

"Listen, I'll be happy to do this but right now I am not feeling up to it" I raised my voice

Helga looked angrily at me. "Arnold you are going to get your ass ready to spend the day with your child"

"Oh my fucking lord woman. Fine you want that sooooooooo bad let me get dressed first then take MY daughter out so you can do god knows what" I yelled which scared Laura and made her run away. I looked back at Helga and rolled my eyes. "See what you did. Made her run off" I got up and ran to Laura's room. Laura was hiding on her bed under the covers. I sat on her bed.

"I wonder where Laura is?" I questioned out loud

"She's not here" Laura said from under the covers.

"Oh really then who's this under the covers?" I asked

"No one"

"Well no one. If you see my daughter can you let her know that her daddy is really sorry for scaring her by yelling at mommy?"

Laura peeked her head from the covers and looked at me in the yes. "Do you mean that?" She asked quietly

I took her out of her covers and placed her on my lap. I pushed her bangs out of her face. "Yes. I do mean that. I am sorry for scaring you off. I was just very cranky and mommy was making me upset. I am sorry for all of the bad word. Let me make it up to you and buy you ice cream and take you to the park, okay?' I looked in her eyes.

She looked at me and smiled. "Can I get chocolate ice cream?" her eyes lit up

I laughed a bit. "Yes, anything for my little angel" I kissed her cheek. "Let me go get ready and then we head out.

"Alright" She smiled and I left her room. I went to the bedroom where Helga was on the phone. She looked at me and I looked at her.

"Phebes' I'll call you back later" She hung up the phone and looked away from me. I closed the room door and stood behind her.

"Helga we need to talk" I said

"No." Helga replied

"Why? You made me look like a fucking fool" I made her look at me

"I'm sorry…" Her voice got quiet

I rubbed my head in frustration. "I want an answer why"

Tears started to form in her eyes that I can clearly see. I sighed really hard, grabbed the box of tissues and handed her one. She took it and wiped her face. I just went to go take a shower since I know I wasn't getting an answer out of her. Once I was finished with my shower, I got dressed, and walked out the room.

"Laura are you ready?" I asked as I put my jacket on. Helga came out of her room and closed the door.

"Laura is taking a nap" She walked away back into the room.

My patents with this girl are on a thin line. Since Laura is sleeping now of all times I was annoyed and want to get to the bottom of this. I followed Helga to the living room and stood over her.

"Okay we are going to speak. What is your deal today?" I asked but she ignored. My blood was boiling I didn't have time for this.

"I'm sorry" She said.

"Fuck that sorry. I want to know why right now" I raised my voice a bit.

"I got a call…" She began. "My mom isn't doing well."

I sighed hard. I sat next to her. "I'm sorry for raising my voice but you need to tell me when I ask you what's wrong. Plus don't take your anger out on me. If you want I can reschedule the trip to be early as tomorrow. I'll tell my boss it's a family emergency and I will talk to Laura's school." I replied and she hugged me tight. I kissed her on her cheek and knew this was going to be hard to do but I have to.

Helga packed Laura's things, and then packed her things. I got the tickets, talked to my boss and left a voicemail also an email for Laura school. I had a taxi take us to the airport along with our bags. We got checked by security and then we were safe to get onto the plane with our belongings. This is Laura's first actual time seeing a plane up close since she was still a baby at the time. We got on the plane and it was a two hour flight there. Once we landed we got our belongings, and went back to our old apartment. I didn't let anyone know we were back until we settled in. This was going to be a long vacation but I hope is worth it.
