"Please fasten your seat belts as we begin our decent into New York." The flight attendant spoke over the intercom.
"Babe," I whispered shaking Rob. His eyes slowly opened, a big yawn escaped out of his mouth. "Mmm,"
"We are getting ready to land, sweetheart." I told him.
"Yeah, I heard."
Rob fastened his seatbelt and then looked over to me. "May I?" he asked. I rose my eyebrows in confusion, "May you what?"
Rob smiled and tightened my seatbelt another half inch. "I gotta protect my girls."
I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek. "Over protective much?"
"With you, always."

We landed at JFK around 10pm eastern time. I was exhausted, but Kristen seemed like she was well rested. We sat holding hands in the terminal waiting for our flight to begin boarding. The snow had been falling hard and steady ever since we landed. I began to fear that it might delay our flight…
"Attention, We will now begin boarding our first class passengers."
Phew! I helped Kristen up. She was getting heavier, and I couldn't be happier. She has been wearing this content smile ever since we found out the sex. "Are you ok?" she asked.
I nodded yes, "Yeah, I was just relieved to hear them call our flight."
She had a questionable smirk on her face, "Haven't you noticed the snow?"
Kristen looked outside quickly, "Oh, wow. No."
"See why I'm relieved?"
She smiled 'yes'

"Are you comfortable? I asked Kristen. She was trying to hide the face that her back was killing her again.
"I'm fine." She said quietly. I knew her back was hurting her, but she didn't want to complain to me again.
"Your back?"
She gave me a sympathetic look saying yes. "Why didn't you just tell me?"
"I feel like I'm being annoying about it." she whispered.
"God, Kristen. Your not!" I said chuckling.
She blushed and grabbed my hand, she tucked it underneath her shirt, just above her sweat pant line. I pressed my knuckles in and began massaging. Poor girl, I could feel the knots. Kristen closed her eyes and leaned her head against the window. I noticed goose bumps on her arms so I pulled our blanket out from her backpack. I draped it over top of her and continued to rub her back.
We took off within a few minutes and began hitting turbulence. "The captain has indeed kept the seatbelt sign on, so please keep your seat belts fasten, as we are about to his some rough weather."
I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, I knew we wouldn't be landing in LA tonight. We will probably end up landing in Detroit.
Detroit! Maybe we could sneak up to the lake house.. But I knew Kristen was in a hurry to get back home. She misses Bear a lot, and our own bed. And I couldn't blame her, we both wanted to enjoy the rest of her pregnancy without having to work...
The plane continued to shake for an hour, when finally the captains voice filled the plane. "Due to this un excepted snow storm, we are being forced to land at the closest airport. Which from my radar is Bishop International, Flint Michigan. So we will be landing shortly and the flight attendants can answer any questions."
I wonder if Kristen heard that. I gently shook her, "Kristen. Baby, wake up."
She opened her eyes and then shut them again, "What?"
"Did you hear what the captain said?"
She shook her head no, "We have to land in Flint because of the snow."
"Fuck!" She whined, "I just want get home!"
I gently rubbed her belly, "I know sweetheart, but how would you feel about going to the Lake House until the storm blows over? Flint is only about 2 hours away from it.."
"What about the snow? We can't drive in that."
"We could try." I pleaded.
"Ok, fine. I don't care what we do, as long as I can get some M&M's."
"M&M's, I think I can do that."
…
Kristen and I were the first ones off the plane, the flight attendant instructed us to get a room for the night, seeing that it was 12:30am, and we will be emailed the status of our flight. The weather authorities had predicted this snow storm to continue for another day at least.
We luckily got a rental car, who am I kidding? Luck had nothing to do with it. The clerk rented us a car which had already been reserved. "Here you are, Mr. Pattinson."
"Thank you so much, have a nice night."
"You too." she smiled, trying to flirt with me. I caught Kristen staring her down. She can get jealous very easily at times.
We walked out to where the car was parked, Kristen slid her hand into mine, "Watch it, Mr. Pattinson, I hear your wife is pregnant and very much in love with you."
"I only have eyes for you."
"I know." Kristen said, leaning into me. We dumped our carry ons into the back seat of the Ford Edge, buckled our seat belts and started heading up to the lake house with our baby girl and a very larger package of M&M's.
