Chapter 6
"Momma....I don't see him." Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald said as she scanned the airport for a sign of her brother.
"Of course you don't see him Theresa" replied her younger brother Miguel in exasperation. "You haven't seen him since you were a kid...and he's never sent us a picture of himself as an older man"
"True...true....but he couldn't have changed that much, besides, all I got to do is look for someone that looks like you and Luis." She replied with confidence.
As Theresa and Miguel continue to 'look' for Brian, Luis, Pilar and Beth was busily getting the suitcases.
"That girl, I can't believe that she packed 4 suitcases for three days. What is she going to do? Where it all?" Luis asked in exasperation as he lugged yet another one of Theresa's heavy suitcase off the luggage machine.
"Oh Luis, Theresa's a young women. She just couldn't decide what to wear and decided the best course of action was to bring everything" Beth said. "Besides, the return of 'Julian' and her subsequent loss of the Crane fortune has made her extremely depressed, added with the fact that Ethan has now moved on with Gwen, she just needs to keep busy, and hearing of Brian and his wedding has made her excited. Its been a while since she's this excited." Beth reasoned.
"She's right mio" interjected Pilar. "We just have to be patient with her is all"
"Yes I know, but still, 4 suitcases for 3 days? She would have to change every hour in order to wear everything."
As the visiting Lopez-Fitzgerald gathered their luggages, Brian was running a bit late. Liz had had a problem with one of the caterers and he had to go to speak with them. By the time he was done talking, he realized that he only had twenty minutes to get to the airport. Luckily the airport wasn't too far, and traffic was light.
Finally Brian reached the airport and found a parking spot. He hurriedly ran towards the arrival section and was relieved that the passengers on the flight from Harmony was just now getting off the plane.
Brian turned to his companion and talked while the waited for his family's arrival. He couldn't help but feel dread and excitement at the arrival of his family. Though he had been back to Harmony in Christmas and seen them, it didn't count because they didn't know he had come back. Now, after over 10 years, he was finally going to come face to face with his family.
"There they are" Brian exclaimed. He started waving his arms up and down in order to get their attention.
"There he is Momma" Theresa exclaimed excitedly as she ran towards the brother whom she rarely remembered but had heard so much about.
As Brian embraced each one of his family member, he couldn't help but be happy that he had invited them. He couldn't wait for them to meet his future bride.
"Uhmmmmmm" his companion reminded him about her presence
"Momma, Miguel, Theresa, Beth, Luis, please let me introduce you to......."
Luis gasped in shock.
"Momma....I don't see him." Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald said as she scanned the airport for a sign of her brother.
"Of course you don't see him Theresa" replied her younger brother Miguel in exasperation. "You haven't seen him since you were a kid...and he's never sent us a picture of himself as an older man"
