Disclaimer: In Chapter 1

I only own the kids and the husbands/ kind of, I tried to take actual bf's they had on the last season. But their jobs, lifestyles, and so forth are mainly mine.

I also don't own "Going Home" lyrics by Sara Grooves.

Chapter 2: Going Home "
I've been feeling kind of restless
I've been feeling out of place
I can hear a distant singing
A song that I can't write
And it echoes of what I'm always trying to say

There's a feeling I can't capture
It's always just a prayer away
I want to know the ending
Things hoped for but not seen
But I guess that's the point of hoping anyway

Of going home, I'll meet you at the table
Going home, I'll meet you in the air
And you are never too young to think about it
Oh, I cannot wait to be home"

Blair sat on a bench in the lobby waiting for Tootie and Natalie. In their weekly emails, they decided to meet in the Peekskill Hotel Lobby before going to the house. Blair had gotten her whole family up bright and early on the road, she was anxious to be "home" again. Her husband decided he would watch the kids and take them exploring so she could have the whole day to her self and catching up with the girls. She continued to stare of into space until she heard a voice calling her name.
"Wow – I never thought I'd see the day Blair was ready before the rest of us." Natalie said as she walked over and gave Blair a hug.
"I know what you mean. I mean I had always thought she was the queen of taking forever. I guess that title has passed on to me." Tootie said as she, Blair, and Natalie burst out laughing.
"It's so good to see you guys! I have missed you both. Where are the kids?" Blair asked as she gave Tootie a hug and sat down.
"With the husbands!" The girls replied back so fast it almost made Blair's head spin. Blair laughed and nodded that hers were with her husband also.
After a few more minutes of endless chatter and quick gossip the girls decided to grab a cab, and go into town. As they arrived in town, "Hey Blair, Natalie and I were talking about something on the way down in the elevator. I was wondering if you could set me straight." Tootie said.
"I know what you are going to ask. Where's Jo? Well, all I can say is I don't know. When she left her law firm to become a photo journalist she left no forwarding address, her parents haven't heard from her in ages, and all they know is that her photos are beautiful. I have tried everyway I know how to track her down, but after all this I don't think she wants to be found."Blair said as they reached Mrs. G's shop. The girls nodded their heads, and walked by the front window when Tootie gasped.
Natalie and Blair turned their heads and looked at the shop's window where it once said, "Edna's Edibles". It now read:

The Facts of Life Café:
Dedicated to my girls who taught me those facts:
Jo and Blair, Natalie and Tootie

The girls silently teared up, and ran into the shop coming face to face with Beverly Ann, Mrs. G's sister. Blair was the first to regain her composure at seeing Mrs. Garrett's sister.

The girls all gave her a hug and pulled up chairs at one of the tables, Beverly Ann remained standing. She too, was in shock of seeing the girls.
"Beverly Ann, I didn't know you would be in town. When I talked to Mrs. G. last week she said..." Blair said, as Beverly Ann interrupted her.
"I know, I was supposed to be at home attending my shop, but..." Beverly Ann said as she turned away from the girls and walked through the connecting door into the house.
The girls immediately got up and walked into the house, sensing something was not right. As they entered the family room they saw Beverly Ann pacing in front of the fireplace.
"Beverly Ann, what is it? Whatever it is, you can tell us. We are all big girls now. We can handle it." Natalie said as she walked over and gave Beverly Ann a comforting one armed hug.
"I didn't want to ruin your coming home or the reunion for you girls. I was going to try and keep this a secret from you, but Natalie you are right. You are all adults here, so we can handle this in an adult fashion. Girls, I hate, truly hate to be the one to tell you this but Mrs. G's is very, ill. The doctors, they don't know what's wrong with her. " And with that said a tear ran down Beverly Ann's face and she ran up the stairs leaving the girls with their thoughts.
"So much for coming home." Tootie said as she and the girls took a seat on the couch.

"I'm confined by my senses
To really know what you are like
You are more than I can fathom
And more than I can guess
And more than I can see with you in sight

But I have felt you with my spirit
I have felt you fill this room
And this is just an invitation
Just a sample of the whole
And I cannot wait to be going home

Going home, I'll meet you at the table
Going home, I'll meet you in the air
And you are never too young to think about it
Oh, I cannot wait to be going, to be going home

Face to face, how can it be
Face to face, how can it be
Face to face, how can it be

Cuz this is just an invitation
Just a sample of the whole
And I cannot wait to be going home"
