Chapter 3

It was now Tuesday, AKA the day Cat finally returns home. I did the laundry and went grocery shopping that morning so Cat would be satisfied with me. I organized all of our mail as Lilly slept. When we had to leave to get Cat from the airport, I switched Lilly from her crib into her car seat and then carried her out to the car, strapping her into the backseat. I get upfront and drive us there.

When we arrive, I head inside with Lilly in her stroller to meet Cat. I check the flight arrivals board and find that Cat's flight is on time and is scheduled to arrive at any minute. I walk over to our meeting place and sit down on my phone to check my messages. After a few minutes, Cat arrives.

"SAMMMMMMMM! LILLYYYYYYYY!", Cat exclaims running over to us and throwing me into a breath crushing hug.

"Cat! Stop it! You're choking me!", I exclaim.

"Sorry. I've just missed you guys.", Cat replies.

"Well we've missed you too.", I chuckle.

Cat bends down to kiss Lilly.

"Wow. I think she's gotten bigger since I left.", Cat says.

"Yeah, probably. So you ready to go?", I ask her.

"Yeah let's go home.", she says.

"Oh and I won second place in the country!", she exclaims.

"I know, you told me already. Congrats by the way.", I reply.

I grab one of Cat's bags and drag it along with one hand as I push Lilly's stroller with the other. We get to the car, I put Lilly in her car seat and I help Cat put all her bags in the trunk of the car before we drive home.


When we get home, Cat really wants to open up our college letters to see if we got in anywhere. I put Lilly down in her car seat on the kitchen counter and grab the mail from the colleges.

Cat and I both wanted to stay in LA, or at least in California because it would be so much easier with Lilly for me and Cat wanted to stay as close to her Nona, Dice, Goomer, and all of her other friends as possible, so we had only applied to schools in California.

"Okay which should we open first?", I question.

Cat and I had both applied to USC, UCLA, UBC, UEC, UC, and UNC.

"Um UNC, I don't really wanna go there.", Cat says.

"Yeah okay. We'll save the best for last then.", I reply handing her the UNC letter.

We both ripped open the letters to find that I had gotten into UNC and Cat had not.

"It's okay Cat. You can't get in everywhere. I don't really wanna go there anyway.", I say.

I hand her a UEC letter and grab mine out of the pile as well. We open the letters. Neither Cat or I had gotten into UEC.

"Okay how about UC?", Cat asks.

We both open the letters from UC to find that both Cat and I had gotten in there.

"Yay! We both got in!", Cat loudly cheers.

"Shhhhh! You'll wake up Lilly!", I whisper/shout at her.

"Sorrrry.", she whispers.

"Okay UC is still kinda far away though. What about UBC?", I ask.

I give Cat her letter from UBC and we both open them. Cat got into UBC and I didn't.

Then we open our letters from USC and find that I got in and Cat hadn't.

Finally, the school we really wanted, UCLA was the only letter we had not yet opened. UCLA was one of the best schools in the state and it was the closest to our apartment so if we went to UCLA, then we could keep living at our apartment. I slowly open my letter and Cat and I both find that we had BOTH gotten into UCLA!

"Omg yay!", Cat whisper exclaims.

I just stare at the letter in shock. "Wow we both got in.", I breathe.

"Well I don't know about you, but I know where I'M going to school next year.", Cat says.

"Yup. So do I, UCLA!", I whisper.

"Yay!", Cat says again crushing me in a hug.

"Cat!", I exclaim.

"I know.", she replies quickly letting go of me.

"We should go out and celebrate.", I say.

"Yeah! But can we go later? I'm kinda tired from flying and it's already almost 6.", Cat says.

"Yeah sure. We can go tomorrow. We can invite Dice, Nona, and Goomer too if you want.", I reply.

"Sure!", she exclaims.

"Well I'm gonna shower and go to bed.", Cat says.

"Goodnight.", she adds.

"Night Cat.", I say as Cat heads off to our room.

I heat up a TV dinner for me and quickly eat it. Just as I finish it, Lilly wakes up.

"Hey Lilly Billy.", I say picking my daughter up and carrying her to her high chair.

I feed her her dinner, clean her up, and play with her in the living room for awhile. About an hour later, I pick Lilly up and carry her to her nursery where I change her diaper and put her in a pink onesie that Cat insisted she needed. I place her in her crib, kissing her goodnight and leaving her room.

I go back into Cat's and my room and find Cat asleep on her bed. I chuckle quietly at her ducky eye mask with matching slippers at the side of her bed and go to take a shower before I shut all the lights off and go to bed myself.
