Ten minutes later.

Catherine and Steve were standing by the baggage claim, they were both looking around to find her parents. Her mom and texted when they landed and said they were on their way to that area.

"I don't see them." Catherine told him.

Steve was going to reply but they both heard a small voice yell.

"Daddy! Mommy!" Sawyer yelled as she ran towards them.

Steve picked up Sawyer as soon as she made it to them, wrapping her in a hug.

Steve handed Sawyer to Catherine, so she could hug Sawyer, before he went to help with the bags. He was amazed that she looked so much like him except for the big brown eyes she shared with her mother, she was taller than the last time they had seen her, her hair was pulled back but he was sure it had not gotten any darker.

"Mommy, Daddy I am staying with you." She told them with a huge smile.

"We know, peanut." Catherine responded before kissing her on the check.

She noticed her parents had made their way over to them. While Sawyer looked awake, her parents looked like they could sleep.

"Admiral, Tricia it's good to see both of you." Steve shaking the Admiral's hand before getting a hug from Tricia.

"It's good to see you son." She told him.

"Mom, Daddy." Catherine smiling as she hugged them.

Steve smiled as Sawyer bounced on her feet.

"Someone looks wide awake."

"She will crash soon, she has been up since we made it to the airport." Tricia replied.

"Mommy, can we swim?"

"Later, you are going to need sleep. Daddy has a meeting and while you are sleeping I have some work to do."

"Oh."

"We will be all done by time you wake back up to swim." Steve told her.

"Daddy, did you get hurt?"

Steve looked at Catherine, you could still see some of the bruises from his fight with WoFat.

"Daddy got hurt a couple of weeks ago but he is okay now." She answered simply.

"Promise." Sawyer looking at Steve.

"Promise." As he smiled at her.

"Let's get Sawyers luggage and we can head to the house." The Admiral told them.

"Sounds like a plan." Steve as he grabbed the two suitcases.

"How was the flight?" Catherine asked as she grabbed Sawyer's hand.

"Interesting."

Catherine and Steve both looked the Admiral.

"We will explain after we've had more sleep." Tricia told them.

"Okay, the truck is this way." As the headed out of the airport.

"Daddy, can I sit in the front?"

"You have to seat in the back, you are to small to be in the front seat."

Steve couldn't remember exactly how old she had to be to seat in the front seat, but he knew six was not old enough and the look on Catherine's face told him that he was right.

"I bet mommy will sit with you."

"Mommy, will you?"

"Absolutely."

"Burnout is starting to happen." Admiral told them.

"Until we get to the house."

"We have the guest room set up for you, so you should be able to sleep." Steve told them.

"I went and got fresh fruit yesterday, I wasn't sure if you would want to eat."

"I'm hungry." Sawyer replied.

"You my dear are always hungry."

"She still eats like Steve." Catherine laughing at her mother's comment.

Once they made it to the truck, Steve put all the luggage in the bed of the truck making sure it was secure. Catherine and Sawyer climbed in the back seat before she put Sawyer in the booster seat that was now in the middle of the seat, Tricia climbed in the other side. Steve and the Admiral climbed in front.

The trip home was easy, they hit very little traffic and Catherine watched as Sawyer tried to take everything in, they all laughed when she squealed at the sight of the ocean.

"Wait until she sees the backyard." Steve smiling.

"After she sleeps." Catherine reminding him that little girl needed sleep.

"I can't believe she still awake." Tricia replied.

"It's a matter of time."

"Papaw, I'm not tired."

"Okay, then you can stay up but mamaw and I are getting some sleep."

"I can stay with mommy." She replied as they pulled up to the house.

/

It only took a couple of minutes to get the luggage and everyone inside the house.

"I thought we would give you the tour after you woke back up." Catherine told her parents.

"That's probably best."

"Do you want something to eat?" Steve asked.

Catherine and Steve were watching Sawyer look around the house.

"A little bit of fruit." Tricia replied.

"Can I have cereal and fruit?"

"Yes, you can. Mom, Dad have a seat I'll go get it."

"What's out there?" Sawyer asked as she pointed to the lanai doors.

"The backyard and you will see it later."

"Steve, can you get her settled in the living room?"

"Yeah. Come over here peanut?"

Steve helped Sawyer get settled in the chair before he got the tray to sit her food on. Then he went to help Cath in the kitchen. A couple of minutes later they came out carrying the fresh fruit, plates, and a bowl of cereal. Steve went back to get the drinks while Catherine put Sawyer's food on her tray.

"Do we get to meet everyone today?" Tricia asked.

"Yes, after we talked last night. I sent everyone a text asking them to come over tonight, explaining why, five minutes later my phone was going crazy with responses. I think Adam will be the only person missing. He is out of town until late tonight."

"Are they all nice?" before putting a spoonful of cereal in her mouth.

"Yes and very excited to meet you."

The adults could see that Sawyer was starting to get tired.

"Can we swim?" she asked again.

"We can later. After you are done eating, we are going to show you your new room."

Sawyer nodded as her eyes were starting to close.

"If she makes it that long, I made sure to dress her in something she could sleep in."

"Thanks. We'll carry her up."

"Tricia, I don't know about you but I am ready for bed."

"Me too."

"Leave the stuff you don't need down here." Steve told them as he moved Sawyer's tray then picked her up. She was asleep as soon as she laid her head on Steve's shoulder.

"Follow us." Catherine smiling.

The group walked up the stairs, they came to Sawyer's room first. Catherine opened the door allowing Steve to carry Sawyer to her bed. He laid her in the bed as Catherine covered her back up, she turned on the baby monitor she bought before the group went out of the room.

"The room looks great." Tricia told them.

"Thanks. Steve and the guys painted it." As they made it to the guest room.

"Everything is in there." Steve told them.

"If you need anything, I'll be downstairs."

"We'll be fine."

Steve went to get a shower and Catherine went down to clean up, she couldn't help the smile that was on her face. She felt like her family was now complete.
