Chapter 4: Welcome Home Hannah

The drive to the airport was fast, very fast. Allison made it there in 10 minutes. The fact that she was going 90 the whole way and that it would take a safe driver 45 minutes to get there could easily tell any normal person how she was feeling at this time. Stressed, excited, and terrified to name a few. The time for questions had come and departed now all that was left were feelings of doubt and remorse.

She now doubted the choice to leave her child with family, a better family for 15 years. Her choice was the better one for Hannah but maybe not the best for her. Will this work out? Does she hate me? Will we be able to start over? Is it too late?

She groans to herself, "Not with the questions again." as she walked through the entrance of the airport. As she took a quick look at the flight schedule, she found the flight on time. This left her with an hour to think, or in her case panic some more.

"Swell." She thought to herself as she wandered around the airport.

But in the waiting area, there was her salvation. The Airport had a Books A Million, what luck. In she went and out she came with two bags. In the bags there was a journal for her and one for Hannah, one serious card, one funny card, a Frank Sinatra C.D. and a collection of Edgar Allen Poe. That put her right at 6 pm, still a few minutes to go. To kill those last minutes, she went to get coffee from the café that was there.

So, with a bag of goodies and two cups of coffee, she waited. As the intercom said the flight names she watched as families crowded to find their loved ones. One couple caught her eye as a young girl; about six ran from the attendant to her mother who was waiting with a doll. When she looked back, she saw herself.

It was like looking in a mirror, the same teddy bear eyes just like her father. Long wavy brown hair pulled in a braid, headphones on her ears, and a much younger face. A face that was staring at her like a deer caught in the headlights,

Allison sighed to herself as she walked to her daughter, coming to stand near her but not close enough to touch. "If it makes you feel any better, I am feeling the same way."

All Hannah could do was nod and stare at the woman in front of her, they looked so much alike. They could be confused for sisters, which would make things so much easier than the alternative.

After a few minutes of looking around the airport, sneaking peeks at each other, not looking at each other and basically avoiding any eye contact. Allison closed her eyes and she put the bag on the floor along with the coffee cups. Looking at her daughter, she gathered up her courage and slowly walked up to her. The intent was to hug her but she never got the chance too.

Hannah had beaten her to it. All the feelings of doubt and worry left her as she surged forward to grasp onto the woman in front of her. A few tears leaked from her eyes and onto her mom's sweater.

Allison was shocked to saw the least when she hugged her. Anger or Rejection was what she expected, not this. This was new and uncharted territory. She liked it. So, she played the part of mom and hugged her back just as tight.

When they parted a few minutes later, Allison was shocked that she saw tears and red eyes on her child. "You ok? I didn't do anything already did I? I brought coffee and presents. "

"No!" Hannah shouted, then blushing so much like her mother, "I'm fine. Just a little tired."

"Now I can understand tired. I think it is time to get your bags and go home. We have to get unpacked and do some bonding." Allison said as she picked up the bags and gave Hannah a cup of coffee. They both walked side by side in a semi hug towards the baggage claim.

"You don't honestly think we can do fifteen years worth of bonding by the time you go to work tomorrow, do you?" she asked as she sipped on her coffee and looked up at her.

"My darling, I am a doctor. I can do anything in an obscenely small amount of time. Trust me, I have it covered." She said as she watched the conveyer belt rotate in circles, searching for her bags.

"You might need these, mom." Hannah said as she handed her baggage tickets to her, "Why do I have the feeling that I should get another coffee before we leave here?" she asked as she made an attempt to walk back to the café.

Allison halted her quickly and reeled her back by her side. "Now don't you worry, I am pretty sure you can keep up with me." She said, as she found her bags and pulled them off the belt. "And besides, I am sure I can find something to keep you up all night and all day tomorrow in my medicine bag at home."

"Great." Hannah said as she followed her out to the car, "Question for you though?"

"Shoot." Allison said, as she pulled out of the lot and onto the highway.

"Are you sure you brought them home for me?"

Hannah looked up at her mom with that look that only Allison could do. She had hat look that spoke so many things, the playfulness in her eyes and the smirk on her lips. All Allison could do was smile and look to the road.
