"Baby, I am so glad you're home." Roger called out rushing to Ava as he and Ms. Parker waited at the gate in the airport.

"Roger, I missed you so much." she cried as they ran into each others arms.

"I.. missed.. you.. too." he said between kisses.

"Hello Avalon." Ms. Parker said standing aside.

"Hi mom. I missed you so much too." she smiled looiking down at her as Roger still held her in his arms.

"Roger, let the girl go. I'd like to hug my daughter." Ms. Parker laughed looking up at him.

"I don't want to let her go. I want her to stay here forever. You are not going anywhere ever again. Not without me anyway." he said looking down at her.

"I don't want to go anywhere without you." she smiled looking up at him.

"Good. Because I was a mess the whole time you were gone." he pouted looking down at her.

"It's true sweetie. You should have seen him. He must have come by the house everyday just to sit up in your room. It was pathetic really." Ms. Parker joked looking over at her as she wrapped her arms around her.

"Not pathetic. Sweet." Ava said smiling up at Roger.

"Come on, let's get you home. You should see what me and Roger did to your room." Ms Parker said smiling at her.

"What did you and Roger do to my room? I was getting used to the pink ballerinas." she laughed looking up at Roger.

"You're gonna love it Baby. I promise." he smiled wrapping his arms around her waist as they left the airport and got into Ms. Parkers car. As they rode home, Roger and Ava sat in the back seat in each others arms. Ava missed Roger so much. She was drinking every night on the tour to stop from missing him, but it didn't work. She missed him more. She couldn't wait until they could be alone and make love.

"OK what did you two do?" she asked as they pulled up to the house.

"You'll see Baby. Come on." he said taking her hand leading her up to her room. The door was closed. "Close your eyes Baby." Roger said with one arm around her waist as he covered her eyes with his other hand.

"Roger, I can't see anything." she laughed tilting her head back.

"That's the idea sweetie.." Ms. Parker said laughing as she opened the door.

"Tada." Roger called out taking hand off of her eyes.

"Oh my God, this is amazing." she said looking around. There were posters of Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Patty Smythe, Lita Ford, and Duran Duran. There were also framed pictures of Transparent and of just Ava and Roger.

"You like it Baby?" he asked looking down at her.

"I love it." she smiled looking up at him.

"I helped too." Ms. Parker pouted playfully.

"I'm sorry mom, thank you. This is great. I love it. I actually have a grown up room now."'she smiled hugging Ms. Parker.

"I picked out the posters." Roger pouted now.

"You two are gonna drive me crazy." she laughed leaning up to kiss Roger.

"Well we missed you." Ms. Parker said laughing as Roger wrapped his arms around her.

"I missed you more." he whispered teasing Ms. Parker.

"No, you were just more pathetic about it." she teased smiling up at him.

"You two are really starting to scare me now." she laughed looking at them.

"Well he spent so much time over here, we really bonded." Ms. Parker smiled looking over at her.

"Well I'm glad. My two favorite people in the world getting along." she smiled looking up at them.

"I'm gonna go downstairs and make lunch. Why don't you unpack and I'll call you two when it's ready?" Ms. Parker said smiling at them.

"Thanks mom. I'm glad to be home. And not just because this is where Roger is." she smiled leaning over to hug her mother again.

"I'm glad you're home too." she smiled hugging her back before going downstairs.

"Hey Baby. I missed you so much." Roger whispered leaning down to kiss her passionately.

"You have no idea how much I missed you too Roger." she said breathlessly staring into his green eyes.

"I can't wait until later when we can really be alone and I can caress your beautiful body." he whispered into her ear.

"Me neither Roger." she whispered holding him tight.

"So tell me, how was the tour?" he asked reluctantly starting to let go of her.

"It was OK. I mean, I met this really great woman. Her name was Josie and she really looked out for me. I mean, my dad's not exactly the parental type so it was nice to have Josie around. We would sit up for hours talking about you. She thought you were cute. She said she liked the way I was when I was on the phone with you. She said I was always happier when I was on the phone with you." she smiled looking over at him.

"I love you Ava." he said laying in her bed as she began unpacking.

"I love you too Roger." she smiled looking over at her.

"So tell me, what did you do on the tour?" he asked putting his arms behind his head.

"Nothing much. I mean, my dad let me drink a little and it was cool, I guess." she said looking over at him as he bolted up in the bed.

"He let you what?" he asked looking over at her.

"Roger, it's not like I was by myself. I told you, Josie looked out for me. She was really great." she said looking over at him.

"Did you drink a lot?" he asked looking over at her.

"No, I didn't drink a lot. It was like 1 or 2 drinks a night. It was cool. I mean, I got buzzed really fast because I don't usually drink, but Josie was with me the whole time. Everyone else was a lot more drunk then I was." she said as he got off of the bed to go to her.

"Baby, I can't believe your dad let you drink. Are you gonna tell your mom?" he asked wrapping his arms around her.

"No. I'm not telling my mom. She'll only freak." she said looking up at him.

"But Baby..." he started before she cut him off.

"No, Roger please. Don't tell my mom, OK? I mean, it's not a big deal. Josie said I'm building up a tolerance for it. It's OK." she said looking up at him.

"OK Baby, I won't tell your mom. But you can't keep drinking, OK? Promise me." he said looking down at her.

"OK Roger, I won't." she said wrapping her arms around his waist and holding him close.

"Ava, Roger lunch is ready." Ms. Parker called out from downstairs.

"We're coming mom." Ava yelled looking up at Roger. "I'm fine Roger, OK? I promise." she said looking up at him.

"I love you Ava. I worry about you." he said looking down at her.

"I know, I love you too Roger." she smiled leaning up to kiss him before they went downstairs.
