NOTE- Thanks Riza-4789 you are really making me make sure I keep up the pace. Every time I have an email saying review, I have to get back to work. I am sorry about the short chappies but you know I only have so much time.
Bridget caught a cab to her hotel. She was not sure why she was here any more. To her Gilda's felt like her past. If her past was destroyed it would totally wreck her future. She knew she was being over dramatic but no one was here to stop her. She needed to stop the council from selling it. She needed people. Children. Women. Especially pregnant ones. And the media. Definitely the media. Little was she to know that plenty of those people were on there way right now.
Tibby was back at work. Now they were filming their stores. Wallmans was the first place. She had met Brian McBrian here playing Dragon Rider. And she had met… Bailey. She rememberd (smiling) that summer when Bailey had first attached herself to Tibby. At the time, Tibby couldn't wait to get rid of her. Now sometimes Tibby wished she was here. Althugh she didn't need her it would be nice to see the world through pure philosophical eyes. She also remembered working at Wallmans for Duncan Howe. She chuckled and swivelled the camera to face the entrance.
She looked over to the horizon and in the distance saw a plane landing at the airport.
Lena was jetlagged. She was tired annoyed and she couldn't find her own home. Where had all those buildings she remembered gone and more importantly the place looked so more bland than last time. Her plane had landed in Bethesda and hour ago. She wanted food (prpoer American stuff to), and sleep. Aetos was sleeping in the seat beside her. He had never been outside his home before so he was extremely tired from all the travel. Finally she recognized the stonewahed walls. She was home. Her mother was thrilled to see her and Aetos but was alittle apprehensive about Lena's new appearance. Not only did she have a rotund stomach but her black hair was short and she was weraing a maternity dress. Lena had never worn a dress in her life except for her wedding and during pregnancy. Ffie came throught the door behind them. The sudden return to America had made her slightly stronger but she was still weak. Her mother hugged them both and they went to their rooms, their husbands lagging behind.
Carmen sat on the couch she was worried about Paul. He wasn't normally like this. While caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice her ten year old brother come in. She had only come home once in his life. For his 2nd birthday party so she hadn't had much to do with him. His brown hair was long for a boy and his hair fell in to his eyes. He had gorgeous brown eyes that seemed to see right through you. He spoke.
" Hi Carmen. Mum told me you got here last night."
Her heart ached to hear him calling her Carmen. Everyone who klnew her called her Carma.
"Hey Buddy. Call me Carma. I've missed you." She said
Ryan simply stared at her and then stood up " Gonna go do my homework"
Carmen vowed to spend heaps of time with him before Win came.
