Sierra hugged her mother tight, tears forming in her eyes. "I wish you didn't have to go home today."
"I'll come back and see you soon, I promise."
"That's if dad will let you come back here." Sierra mumbled and her mother smiled.
"Your father thinks he controls me but he doesn't. When I want to come visit the two of you, I will." Sarah stated, winking and Sierra laughed.
"Alright mom, I believe you. Do you have everything packed?"
"I just brought a small overnight bag so yes I do have everything."
"Good. I'll take your bag out to the car real quick and be right back."

Becky took a deep breath and walked into the bedroom where Sierra's mother was. "Mrs. Moore?"
"Yes dear?"
"I have a question for you if you have a moment before we have to leave."
Sarah smiled and patted the empty space on the foot of the bed next to her. "Of course. Come have a seat and tell me what's on your mind."
Becky walked over and sat next to her, trying to hide the fact that she was a nervous wreck. "I would much rather ask your husband this but since he doesn't approve of Sierra and I...I thought that I would ask you instead."
"Alright...what is it?" Sarah asked and Becky took another deep breath.
"I love Sierra very much and I know we haven't been together long so it's kind of too early to do it but I plan on it eventually so...I wanted to ask your permission to ask Sierra to marry me."
"You say that it won't be soon?" Sarah questioned and Becky shook her head.
"If I'm being completely honest...I would marry her today or tomorrow in a heartbeat but I don't want to rush things and mess it all up. I promise you that if you do give me your permission that I will spend every day of the rest of our lives doing my best to make her happy."
"I don't doubt that for one second. As long as you're going to wait a while and I don't mean months and months, just a little while longer then...you have my permission to ask her." Sarah said, laughing when Becky threw her arms around her and hugged her tight.
"Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome dear."

Sierra walked into the bedroom, smiling when she saw Becky and her mother talking. She was so happy that her mother understood the relationship between her and Becky. Even though she didn't approve of it, just having her support meant the world to her. "Mom? Are you ready to go?"
Sarah looked at her daughter and smiled. "Not really sweetheart but I know that I must so let's go."
{}{}{}{}{}
"I really wish you didn't have to go." Sierra mumbled, hugging her mother as they stood at the gate.
"I know sweetheart but I'll come back and see you soon, I promise."
"You'll call whenever you can? I'd call you but I'm afraid dad would answer the phone and we'd get into another argument."
"I'll call you as often as I can. I love you sweetheart." Sarah said, hugging her again.
"I love you too mom." Sierra replied as they announced that her mother needed to board the plane. "You had better go. Be safe and call me when you get home so I know you made it alright."
"I will. Bye Becky, it was wonderful spending time with you and getting to know you a little. I feel good about leaving because I know my daughter is in good hands." Sarah stated, hugging Becky which made her smile. -

Becky stepped behind Sierra and wrapped her arms around Sierra's waist. "You alright love?"
Sierra sighed and leaned back against her. "I'm fine. I just wish she didn't have to leave already."
"I know but you heard her say that she'll be back soon to visit."
She spun around and wrapped her arms around Becky's neck, kissing her. "I love you baby."
"I love you too. We need to get back to the hotel and get packed for our own flight tonight." Becky stated, taking her by the hand as they walked out of the airport.
