*I'm glad some like this :) thanks you two for reviewing! :) sorry I missed the deadline for "tomorrow" *
Blossom got up early the next day and prepared the car and the cooler, after that was waking up the kids and making a rare but appreciated stop at a fast food drive through for breakfast to save time.
The drive was three hours not including rest stops. Why can't they just fly you ask? Well her kids had never flown that far, and suit cases were a pain in the ass to carry while flying... So she would rather drive.
As soon as she hit the highway the kids had passed out from the movie playing on the DVD player in the van. Her kids were well behaved anyways so she just relaxed and felt the road.
Watching the city disappear behind her in the rear view mirror was a change. Now the kids were old enough to be transported to her home. She hated the fact that she left home with her ex, a stupid decision she felt was a hard one to live with.
At the first stop she texted Bubbles and had the kids use the bathroom. The trip was long and absolutely boring, she just couldn't wait to get home.
(Meanwhile at the Professor's house in townsville)
"Brick it's a four hour trip she'll be awhile, so stop looming at the window!" Buttercup gave him a punch on the shoulder, they have been close friends since Blossom left. He missed her every single day, he wished he told her when he had the chance... He hated that dick for stealing his chance of being something with Blossom.
He was hopeful when he heard from Bubbles that she had been single for the past four years, the reason why was a mystery to him. They seemed happy when he left, but he just didn't get it.
"I just can't wait to see her, it's been forever... I don't even know what she looks like anymore..." He was sad that the asshole took her away from the place she loved. He remembers that she didn't want to go, but he pressured her into the fact that work there was more of an opportunity.
He bets that she was miserable now, at least that is how Bubbles had put it. The one thing that shocked him the most was the news that she had kids... That ass left her a single mom and hasn't even been in the picture?! But why?!
He bet that he could be a great father, even if they weren't his kids, he felt bad for them. He focused on the clock, her last text to Bubbles was an hour ago, he sank in his seat. ' This is taking forever! ' his thoughts screamed, to him the clock couldn't be slower.
He wanted to hug her, see her eyes, her smile, hear her laugh or maybe even convince her to come home for good. Blossom was his thoughts for the past 7 years she had been gone, finishing college earlier made her leave him faster.
"Bro watch the TV dammit! They heavyweight champion is about to be titled and you're missing it!" Butch was next to him watching wrestling with him and Buttercup who had been his girlfriend for awhile like Bubbles and Boomer.
"Pussy whipped!" Boomer chuckled shaking his head. "Says the one paying $50,000 on a ring for his woman that was only promise ring, the engagement ring being more " Butch chuckled back to him. "Oh shut up she's worth it!" Boomer blushed hugging his girl.
Moments later Bubbles gets another text and bounces in her seat. "What!?" Brick looks up hopefully, 'please be here soon!' his thoughts yelled at him. "She'll be here in half an hour! Someone needs to go out and help her, because the kids fell asleep and carrying luggage is difficult when carrying kids" Bubbles smiled.
Brick instantly volunteered to do it without a second thought. It was around dinner when she arrived and that was the perfect time for her to be there. As soon as Bubbles got the text to send someone outside, Brick was out the door.
He walked to the car just as she got out and he was in awe, having kids did her body amazing! As soon as they locked eyes hers and his brightened "Bloss!" Was the first thing that escaped his lips. Tears started to flow from her eyes as she tackled him in a hug. "Oh my god Brick I haven't seen you in forever!" She was glowing.
Not that she would admit it, but she missed him the most out of everyone. He was her beyond best friend when they were in high school and college. "You look so good Blossom..." He brushed her hair out of her face that wasn't in the clip. "You too..." She smiled, home... This was and always will be home...
"You grab the stowaways and I'll grab your stuff!" Brick said making Blossom smile. She opened the door and unbuckled each car seat, grabbing her kids as Brick got the bags from the trunk. "Aren't they just the most innocent looking kids you'd see around here..." Brick smirked as he walked beside the mom.
"They're pretty well behaved... I'm thankful for that..." Blossom smiled as they stepped inside the door. Blossom was immediately engulfed in hugs by everyone even the Professor who came out of his lab to see his eldest daughter finally home.
"It's amazing to see EVERYONE for once..." Blossom smiled only her sisters could come over to visit by flying every once in awhile. Only because she couldn't get a hold of the others, and the professor was also getting older and had a harder time traveling.
Blossom put the kids to bed in the bed in her room deciding to wake them up when dinner was ready. She smiled looking at her old room, it hadn't changed for all this time. Maybe now that her kids were older she could finally move back home, but she needed time to think about it.
Blossom was home, finally! After so long Blossom felt she was where she wanted to be. Brick had brought her stuff in but stood in the doorway watching her, hoping that this kick-started her agreement in moving back to townsville after this.
*next chapter the kids wake up and finally meet everyone!*
