KARENA'S POV
May 26, 2045 – Todayland, North Montana, USA
It has been two weeks since Wilbur moved to Connecticut for training. Before he moved, Wilbur had successfully completed his time at the police academy down in South Montana, since there was no academy in North Montana, so he could legally train at the TIME agency in New York. Yesterday, Wilbur had called me to tell me he had completed his training, and he was to have the weekend off before officially starting his job as Special Agent Wilbur Robinson, Historian.
A week ago, with Amy and Russell's help, Wilbur closed in on our new home that would be a train ride away from work in Westport, Connecticut. Of course, Cornelius helped pay the down payment for the house, but he had gone to Connecticut to "prepare the house," whatever that meant. From what Wilbur told me, Amy and Russell showed a lot of hospitality and treated him as part of the family. I was very excited to meet them and thank them for taking care of my husband. Now all I needed to do was find a teaching position in the Westport area, as well as try to find someone to take care of our daughter while we were both at work.
Today was moving day for me and Diana, and we had to repeat the same process that Wilbur went through two weeks ago. I'm not sure who had more tearful goodbyes, me or Wilbur, but my goodbyes were just as bittersweet as his. Tallulah had given me a set of new dresses for me and Diana to wear to blend in with the people in New York, and we both let out tears as we hugged each other good-bye. Laszlo gave me a portrait of me, Wilbur, and our baby girl. Each family member that I hugged thanked me for being a part of their lives and for helping Wilbur become a better man.
The last two family members to hug were Franny and Carl. I hugged Carl first.
"Take care of my little buddy for me," Carl said as we continued hugging. "I wish I could go with you."
"Me too, Carl. Me too."
Then I went over to hug Franny.
"Thank you for being the daughter I never had," Franny said with a teary smile. "Thank you and Diana for completing our family. The house won't be the same without you three." Franny paused to smile at her granddaughter. "And you, baby Diana. Thank you for making me a grandma. You have an amazing mommy and daddy. Keep on smiling like Daddy."
"We'll be thinking of you every day," I told my mother-in-law.
"We'll see each other again," Franny said, hugging me and Diana for one last time before we got in my car. I helped Diana wave to her family, and then I waved. Before I knew it, I started my car and drove to Westport, Connecticut.
Westport, Connecticut, USA
Wilbur had texted me the address of our new home, and I put the address on my GPS. When I got there, I not only saw my husband, but I also saw five other people with him. I parked my flying car in the driveway, and I saw Wilbur running over to me. I quickly got out and met him outside the car, and we twirled around as we held each other with both tears and happiness in our eyes. When we finished our hug, we passionately kissed each other. We both carried big smiles as we pulled part.
"Welcome to Connecticut," Wilbur said, still having his hands on my shoulders. "Where's Diana?"
"She's in the car," I answered, and Wilbur walked over and gave Diana a huge smile. Diana opened her mouth, gave her daddy a big smile, and yelled "Ah!" in excitement. Wilbur picked her up and gave her a lot of kisses around her head, and then he held her tightly on his chest.
"How did our baby girl do while Daddy was gone?" Wilbur asked me, still carrying that big smile.
"It was hard on her after you left, but she was very brave, waiting for you," I replied, and then I started cooing with Diana. "You were a very brave girl."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my father-in-law approach us.
"Cornelius!" I ran over and we hugged each other.
"Hi Karena, it's nice to see you," Cornelius replied with a smile. Wilbur and Diana joined us, and he walked me over to the family of four that were standing in front of our new house.
"Mrs. Robinson, I would like you to meet my boss Amy, her husband Russell, and their two kids, Jasper and Jessi. Amy and family, this is my wife Karena."
I shook everyone's hands and took a look at each of them. Amy had long blonde hair that was down and swept to her left side, and she wore black frames over her blue eyes. She was wearing a pink blouse and bootcut jeans with black heels. Her husband Russell, who was about exactly the same height as Amy, if not taller, had medium length blonde hair that was layered, and he had green eyes. He wore a green shirt under black suspenders, and he wore black pants with black shoes. Jasper, who is taller than his parents, looked just like his dad, and he wore a t-shirt displaying the Westport High School logo and blue jeans. Jessi had short blonde hair like her dad but carried her mom's blue eyes, and she wore a brown chargeball t-shirt with blue jeans.
"It's so nice to finally meet the face to match the name!" Amy replied enthusiastically. "Wilbur has told us so much about you. And who is this little lady? Is this Diana?"
"Yes, this is our daughter Diana," I replied, glancing over at Wilbur and our daughter. "She is three months old and loves to smile. Isn't that right, Diana?" Diana displayed a big smile at everyone surrounding her.
"May I hold her?" Amy asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Certainly!" Wilbur answered as he handed the baby over to his boss.
"Well hello there, Diana," Amy quietly said with enthusiasm, smiling at her. "You look just like your daddy. Brown eyes, black hair, and everything!" She paused and turned towards me. "Wilbur tells me you are a teacher, is that correct?"
"Yes, it is," I answered.
"If you can't find anyone to babysit Diana, I would be more than happy to take her off your hands," Amy offered.
"I have a better idea," Jessi said. "I can take care of the baby while you both are at work."
"Jessi, that is very kind of you," Russell replied. "But you have school, remember?"
"Oh yeah," Jessi said, hanging her head down. I went over to her and placed her chin in my right hand.
"I'll tell you what, Jessi. Wilbur and I will need to go on a date once in a while to relieve ourselves of Diana. You will be the first person to call."
"Really?" Jessi asked, perking up. "Let me give you my number!" I gave the blonde teenager my phone so that she could put her name and number in my contacts, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Amy and Russell smiling fondly at their daughter.
"I think you just made her day," Russell told me. "The last month hasn't been easy on her with Jasper graduating high school."
"Where will you be going to college at, Jasper?" Wilbur asked.
"I'll be going to Olivet Nazarene University near Chicago to study psychology," Jasper answered. "I want to be a counselor someday, but I don't know who I'll be serving yet."
"Jasper, take all the time you need to learn about yourself," Wilbur explained. "Pay attention and find your passion through those practices."
"Well, what are we standing around here for?" I heard Cornelius yell out behind us. "Go see the house!"
The outside of our house was a dark shade of blue with a greyish tint, and it was a two-story house. Before I could walk in the house, I felt myself swept off my feet!
"Wilbur! What are you doing?" I asked with laughter.
"Walking you through the threshold," my husband replied, carrying me in the house bridal style and giving me a kiss. He eventually set me down in the living room. The living room was painted yellow with a travel tube in the middle of the ceiling. Next to the living room was a kitchen, which was painted a light grey, and a dining room that was painted the same color. Wilbur and I noticed that each room had Robinson-styled decorations. Then, we went upstairs, and there were three rooms and a bathroom. Cornelius had decorated the first room as an office since we only have one kid, and it was orange in color. The next bedroom was Diana's room, and it was painted the same shade of blue as the blue in Wilbur's room back in Todayland. The bathroom was across the hall, and it was a lighter shade of blue. Lastly, we entered our room, which was a darker grey.
"Well, Karena, I imagine you have had a long drive to get here," Amy chimed in, and we turned around to face her as she handed Diana back to Wilbur. "Why don't the four of you come on over to our place and we can serve you dinner?"
"I have a better idea," Cornelius chimed in. "It's getting late and we've all been busy today. Why don't we eat out? It'll be my treat."
"You know what?" Russell replied, smiling and putting his hands on his hips. "I think that's a wonderful idea."
"I'm all for it," Wilbur replied with a smile, as we all walked out of the house and into our flying cars.
