Maya POV:
2 Weeks Later….
We arrived at Airport in Atlanta and it was big and busy. Gabby grabbed my hand and I looked down at her. "Ready to see Atlanta?"
"No."
"You will love it. it beautiful."
"Where's mommy?"
"she at a meeting and told us to meet her at this address. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hamburger."
"A hamburger, what kind?"
"double cheese with bacon."
"Okay lets go find somewhere that has burgers." I felt her grip tighten on my hand as we moved through the airport. she was not use to busy places and when we would go to such she would either ask to be carried or hold on to one of our hands. She has grown a lot in the last four years and she sure has begun asking a lot of questions. She at the age where she wants to know everything and she looks to us for those answers. I was never the curious child and I never sought for answers I just thoughts things were the way they were because it was that. I never needed an explanation but I like the fact that she Is curious. I find McDonalds and I was happy because I knew for sure she would eat this.
"Gabby you want a kids meal?"
"Yeah."
"Gabby you know these hamburgers don't have cheese."
"it okay."
"alright." I walked up to the registered and ordered a kids meal and a McChicken. I hated their other chicken sandwiches and this was really the only one I could stomach to eat. Once we got our food I went to a table not to far from where the restaurant sat and laid our food out.
"Mama?"
"Yeah Baby."
"are you and mommy always going to be my mommies?"
"yeah. why would you ask that?"
"because I just want to make sure you're not going to leave me here."
"Gabby we would never leave you okay. you are ours forever okay?"
"Okay."
"Come here." she got up and walked over to me and I picked her up sitting her in my lap. I kissed her temple and she giggled. "You know we love you right?"
"Yeah."
"how much do we love you?"
"this much." she said making a small space with her hands.
"No more." she opened her hands a little further. "No more." she had her arms spread wide and I tickled her sides. "No we love you more than the whole wide world."
"that's a lot."
"it is."
"Do I have to go to school here?"
"yeah this is where we are going to live."
"but why? I like Rosewood."
"I know but remember I said mommy got a job down here so we have to move."
"But why?"
"why we have to move or why she got the job?"
"both."
"she got the job because they need her down here to work and we have to move because we don't want to be away from Mommy all the time."
"oh."
"yeah."
"but can I get a puppy now?"
"Gabby."
"Please mama I'll be good."
"I know you will but I'll talk to mommy and see what she thinks about getting a puppy."
"yay!"
"yeah, got finish eating so we can go." I said patting her butt to go sit back down. we both finish eating and I grabbed the bags we had and went to go get a Taxi. we stood in line waiting for a taxi cab when finally it was our turn. "I need to go to this address." the cabby nodded his head pulling out into the on coming cars.
"mama can I listen to music?"
"yeah here." I said reaching in my bag handing her my ipod. we finally pull up to the house it was a brick Victorian style house with windows covering the front. There was eleven windows and a big white door that stood out. there was a tall tree right in the middle of the big yard. right beside the house was a long driveway that lead to the back of the house. I paid the cabby and got out grabbing our bags and Gabby's hand.
"Mama this house is big and pretty."
"is is pretty isn't it?"
"yeah can we go inside?"
"yeah come on baby." I took the key that Em gave me out my bag. we came to Atlanta about two weeks ago looking for houses and we choose this one. the company had us a condo in the city but we didn't want Gabby to be down in the city, so we found this beautiful house. the house basically had the same floor plan as the house back in Rosewood except it was just a little bigger.
"Which room is mines?" she asked looking up the stairs.
"Go find it." she smiled big up at me and ran up the stairs. I usually would tell her no running on the stairs but I will remind her later about that. Emily and I while we were down here bought her a new bed room set. we got her a bigger canopy big and made everything pink like it was in her old room. she was getting to old for her old room so this is the more big girl version. I started to walk up the stairs when I heard her scream. I ran up the stairs to see found her room.
"Mama I love it." she said running towards me. I lifted her up and kissed her cheek.
"you do?"
"yeah its like my old room but better."
my phone started to ring and I put Gabby down to answer it.
hello
hey how is she
great she loves the room
I'm glad I just picked up her surprised
good are you going to be here soon
yeah thirty minutes
okay lets go get chick fil a when you get here

I hung up the phone and smiled at Gabby. "I heard ice cream can I have some?"
"later missy."
"when is our stuff getting here?"
"tomorrow."
"can I go in the back yard?"
"go right ahead." I followed her down the steps and into the back yard. it was a decent back yard in enough room for her to run around and if that wasn't enough we were nearby two parks. I watched her admire the birds flying by and the helicopter flying above. she was amazed. "Come on baby lets go back inside."
"is mommy coming?"
"yeah she will be here soon. lets go unpack some of you things okay."
"okay." we went back upstairs to her room taking her bag up with us. I started putting her clothes into the dressers. "Where are my toys?"
"in my room."
"can we get them?"
"yeah come on." we walked all the way down the hall and turned right. The was the master suite and it helped it was far enough from Gabby so she couldn't hear anything go 'bump' in the night.
"Teddy!" she yelled hugging the bear. "I miss you." she whispered to the bear hugging it close. "Mama, can I call Aunt Hanna?"
"Why?"
"I told her I would call her. please?"
"yeah I'll dial it." I dial Hanna's number and waiting for her to answer.
Bout time you call
hello to you too Hanna

I heard the car pull into the drive way and I smiled. "Mommy home!" I said smiling big to Gabby. she ran to the front door looking out the window next to it.
"She has something in her hand." she said confused. Emily walked through the door putting her things down kissed me and picking Gabby up hugging her.
"I got something for you baby."
"What?"
"me and mama decided you needed this." she said moving over to her stuff picking up an all black puppy with white feet.
"Is it mines?"
"yeah he's yours."
"Thank you. what's his name?"
"whatever you want it to be."
"Oreo."
"Well go play with Oreo while I change and then we are going to go eat." Emily said grabbing my hands and leading me upstairs with her. I shut the door but left it cracked so we could hear downstairs. I turned her around and kissed her lips harder than before.
"God I missed you for three day."
"I know baby I'm glad you back."
"me too I wish I could have flew out sooner." I went back to kissing her neck leading her towards our bed.
"mmm" she said pushing me back towards the dresser across from us. she turned her back to me and pushed back. wrapped my arms around her waist laying my head on her shoulder kissing it lightly.
"How was work?"
"stressful. that meeting lasted forever but the work load is better."
"I can give you a message later."
"I would love that but you know she is sleeping with us tonight."
"why?"
"she's in a new place."
"and?"
"stop acting like that. that's our daughter."
"I know but I want something she cant be around when I get."
"you have to wait sorry." she said pulling away completely pulling on a pair of jeans and a tight v-neck shirt. "I love you though."
"yeah yeah I love you too." she intertwined our fingers and we started back down the stairs.
"Gabby lets go."
"Can Oreo go to?"
"no baby put him back in his carrier. you can play with him when we get back okay."
"okay." she put him in his carrier then started walking out the door.
"I need my car to come on and get here."
"it will be here tomorrow." she said as I pulled out the driveway away and turned the corner. I stopped at the stop sign and turned right then left the another right parking the car.
"We're here." I said smiling. "Gabby you want me to carry you?" she nodded her head yes and I picked her up once I walked around to her said of the car. we walked inside and walked over to the booth section waiting to be seated and were immediately. the waitress introduce herself and asked us what we wanted to drink.
"Lemonade." Gabby said.
"Three lemonades." Emily said and I nodded my agreement. she left to go get our drinks and I asked Gabby did she want nuggets or a chicken sandwich.
"Nuggets and fries."
"Em?"
"Just a chick fil a and waffle fries." when the waitress came back I order two chick fil a sandwiches and with waffle fries and nuggets with waffle fries. we got our food and ate talking about what we need to do tomorrow. Since Emily had to work I basically was naming off most the things I need to get done and go enroll Gabby into school.
"Well its official we in Atlanta now."
"Yeah, but it was official the moment we bought that house."
"I guess your right but now it really feels official."
