Please review! You guys are great!
Ashton let go of her sister as her name was called. "Okay, that's me. I'll see you in two weeks."
"See you in two weeks." Indianna breathed. "Give Mom a big hug from me."
"Tell Dad he's Mr. Catastrophe for me." Ashton smiled.
"Indianna Benson!" The counsler called.
"You better go." Indianna chuckled.
Ashton hugged her sister. "Love you."
"Love you too." Indianna smiled and watched as her sister took her ride to the airport. She stuffed her hands into her pockets. "Have fun." She breathed.
"C'mon guys, let's go. Indianna is going to be at the airport in an hour. I want to be there before she is." Olivia yelled waiting by the front door.
Don and John came down a moment later. "We're going to be fine." Don said. "Just calm down. She's finally coming home. You'll get to see your daughter soon."
"Yeah, but the sooner I see her, the sooner I get to stop listening to you two bring up Elliot every other hour." Olivia grumbled. "You guys ready?"
"Yes, even though I could stop traffic, I am ready." John groaned.
"It's your fault for sleeping out in the sun." Olivia smirked as she walked out of the house.
Don chuckled. "You could stop traffic." He wheezed as he continued laughing.
"I could. Hang me from a pole and I'd turn green." John said. Don laughed harder.
Elliot sat in the airport waiting for his daughter's plane to land. His phone rung in his pocket. He answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey Ellie!" Mikka greeted. "Where are you? I've been at your house. I've been at the vineyard. I even went down to the barn. You weren't there."
"Mikka, I told you about seven times this week that today is the day that Ashton comes home." Elliot reminded her. "I'm at the airport."
"Well, did you want me to come down? We could tell her about the engagement together." Mikka suggested.
Elliot paused. "I don't think that's a good idea. I don't want my daughter to tackle you in the middle of the airport. She could break your nails and I might have to pay for damage when she's arrested by security." He scratched his head. "I'll tell her and see how she takes it."
"Okay, what if she doesn't take it well? You're not going to call off the wedding, are you?" Mikka asked nervous that she might lose her big payday.
"I doubt it." Elliot sighed. "She'll just probably be mad that I'm getting married. She barely knows her mother. I couldn't expect her to just accept somebody like that."
Mikka sighed. "Well, from what you told me, it sounds like her mother didn't want to be around." She was tap dancing on his nerves.
"It's not that she doesn't want to see Ashton. It's just complicated." Elliot breathed.
"Why?" Mikka asked. "Are you still in love-"
"Ashton just got here, gotta go." Elliot interrupted her and hung up quickly. He looked at the board in front of him one more time. Twenty more minutes and he'd have his daughter.
Olivia waited impatiently as people got off the plane outside. She looked over at John and her father to find them eating tacos. She shook her head when Don threw some lettuce at John. "Oh, Indianna save me."
Ashton walked through the gates and thanked the flight attendant. She started walking when she saw her mother smiling at her. She broke out in a grin that matched her mother's. "Mom!" She ran to Olivia and hugged her.
"Indy." She breathed. She cupped her daughter's head and kissed her head. "You were gone way too long."
"I'll say." Ashton whispered. "It seems like it's been forever."
"I know the feeling." Olivia smiled. She pulled back to look at her daughter's face. "I missed you so much. John and your grandfather did too; they just need their taco fix." She chuckled moving over so Ashton could see Don and John throwing lettuce at each other.
"It's worse than I thought." Ashton chuckled.
"What?" Olivia asked.
Ashton looked up at her mother. "It just, they've gotten worse than I remember. It's been far too long. Uh, what happened to John?"
Olivia grinned. "He slept out in the sun too long. We've been calling him Clifford and a very thin Santa. It's been fun, but not as fun as it would've been with you. Also, thanks to you, I got that dress done. You and your business talk."
Ashton chuckled. "Yeah, me and my business talk." She nodded.
"So, what happened with that girl that kicked your butt racing horses?" Olivia asked grinning. "I've been wondering why you got sent to the shame house or whatever."
Ashton smiled. "It's a long story."
"I've got time for you." Olivia smiled kissing her head. "C'mon, I bet they want to see you. You'll take their minds off of the lettuce." Ashton laughed.
Indianna took a deep breath walking through the gate. She knew exactly what he looked like. She looked at his picture more than any other picture in her life. "Ashton!" Indianna looked to where her sister's name was called. She smiled when she saw her father. "Come here squirt!"
Indianna chuckled and ran to her father. She hugged him. Elliot smiled and twirled her around. He set her down a moment later. "Hey Dad!"
Elliot kissed her head. "You have not called me everyday like you said you were going to."
"I know. I'm sorry. I just got really busy. It'll all make sense later." Indianna smiled. She hugged him again. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Elliot breathed. He looked at her face to see her tearing up. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just happy." Indianna chuckled wiping her eyes.
"My Ashton actually crying because she's happy. Camp softened you. And, look at you. You got rid of so much hair." Elliot smiled. "Don't tell me you lost anything else."
Indianna laughed. "I didn't lose anything else. How's Casey?"
"Casey is good. She can't wait to see you. She is making your favorite tonight. Chicken and macaroni." Elliot grinned.
"That's your favorite." Indianna chuckled remembering that Ashton said her favorite was tacos and chips."
"You can't say it's your favorite for one day?" Elliot asked chuckling.
Indianna laughed. "You are such a weirdo."
Elliot wrapped his arm around her before they went to go get her bags. "So, what did you want to do? I dedicated my whole day to you."
"Can we go see Casey and Macklemore? I really missed my baby." Indianna asked.
"That sounds perfect. Especially since Casey would throw a cow if I took you anywhere without bringing you to see her first." Elliot grinned. Indianna chuckled. "So, tell me about camp? Did you make any friends?"
"Yeah, I did." Indianna grinned. "I met another girl named Ashton. Funny, isn't it?"
Elliot furrowed his eyebrows. "Yeah, you're the only Ashton I know. That is kinda funny."
Indianna nodded. "I beat her racing horses. But, she beat me at poker."
"She? Beat? You? At poker?" Elliot asked. "I think hell just froze over."
Please review! I wrote this in thirty minutes. So proud! Watch Law & Order SVU on Wednesday nights! Apparently, there's a chance that the show might be cancelled. I would cry if that happened.
