Chapter Twenty Six: Back on Earth
Two Years Later
Lydia's P.O.V
Earth at last. The past five years have been very memorable. I carried Veronica down from the shuttle as Pavel got our bags. Once we got down, I put Veronica down and held her hand.
"Are you ready to move in?" Pavel asked me.
"Of course."
"Hey, love birds," Jim said, walking over to us.
"Hello Jim," I smiled at him.
"I'll take her, thank you very much," Jim said, picking up Veronica.
"Uncle Jimmy!" She said excitedly. She smiled as Jim carried her. She put her hands on his face making me smile more.
"Can't believe you're moving out of Bones' apartment," Jim said.
"Yeah. I'm married now and I gotta take care of Veronica," I tell him.
"Well, I will be visiting more than once," Jim tells me.
"Warning first," I tell him.
"Yes ma'am," Jim said.
"We need to go home. Let Veronica get use to all the new things," I tell him.
"Aw. Okay," Jim said, putting Veronica down.
"Come to mommy," I said.
"Mom!" Veronica smiled. She came over to me and held my hand.
"You ready to go home?" I asked.
"Yeah," Veronica said excitedly.
"Let'z go, zhen," Pavel said.
"Say bye to Uncle Jim, sweetie," I tell her.
"Bye, Uncle Jim," Veronica waved.
"Bye Ronica," Jim said, waving back.
We got inside a cab, before they drove off. We got to Pavel's apartment complex before walking inside. We went to his apartment where everything was neat and clean.
"Let's go see your room," I tell Veronica. We walked over to her room where a bed and a desk was there.
"We'll decorate it later, maybe. Mommy and daddy want to get a house as soon as possible," I tell her.
"A big house," Veronica said.
"Yeah. A big house. All for you," I tell her. She smiled at me as we went back to help Pavel. We unpacked most of everything before I went online to look for a new house.
"Alveady zearching?" Pavel asked me.
"Yes. If I'm going to spend my last year here, I want to make it memorable as possible," I tell Pavel.
"I underztand but, ve just got back to Earth," Pavel told me.
"And what do you suggest we do?" I asked him.
"Let'z just velax. It'z been five yearz zince ve've been here," Pavel said, stopping my house hunt. I looked at Pavel before looking over at Veronica who was on the couch, lying down.
"Veronica, do you want to go walk around?" I ask her. Veronica looked over at me and nodded.
"Come on then," I said. She walked over to us before we headed out.
We got some ice cream before walking around the city. When we went to a park, we went to the swings where I put Veronica on the seat. I started to push her lightly as she rocked back and forth. Veronica started to smile as I rocked her back and forth.
"Higher," She said.
"Now, we don't want to get a stomach ache now do we?" I asked her, stopping her a bit.
"No," She shook her head.
"Zmile, girlz," Pavel said with a camera.
"Veronica, smile," I tell her. We both smiled at the camera before I started to push her on the swings again. This time Pavel was filming us.
"Isn't she beautiful?" I asked him.
"Yes. Very beautiful," Pavel smiled.
"Veronica, you wanna go on the slide now?" I asked her. She nodded before I stopped the swing. I helped her off the swing before she ran over to the slide.
"Ready sweetie?" I asked.
"Yeah," Veronica nodded at me before sitting down.
"Okay, go," I tell her. She slides down making us cheer for her a bit.
"Vonderful!" Pavel said.
"Where's Uncle Jim and Uncle Bones?" Veronica asked me.
"They're at their homes. Tomorrow, they can come over and play with you. Okay?" I tell her.
"Okay," Veronica nodded.
