Touchdown Vancouver. It was a rainy afternoon when they reached Vancouver airport. It looked so gloomy and Lizzie was looking around the airport. They were all bundled up.

"Still no snow?", she whispered to Eli

"Maybe. Don't know", he shrugged and embraced her. "Don't get sad. Maybe it will turn to snow, haha", Eli said. He was looking forward to it also but he can wait. But Lizzie was a different matter. She was young and so impatient.

They were seated in the airport lounge as they waited for Mommy and Dada who were arranging for their service. Eli took care of their luggage.

"I'll go to Mommy", Lizzie said and stood up.

"Lizzie! Can you please stay put? If you get lost here, I won't forgive you ever!", Eli said, really getting serious this time.

"You won't do that! You love me!", she said pouting her lips, and stop in her tracks, giving Eli a hard look.

"But you're not thinking. Mommy will die from worrying if that happens", he said and looked at her hard, his face stern.

Lizzie went back to her seat and give Eli the cold shoulder. Eli didn't mind her at all.

"Will you really not forgive me ever Kuya?", she asked him after a while. Somehow it hurts that Kuya can say the words to her.

"No, you silly goose. But it stopped you right? I can't ran after you because both of us will be lost and I'm in charge of our luggage", he said and hugged her head to him.

"Ok. Sorry Kuya. I can't wait for Mommy and Dada", she said

"Just be patient. After this, we'll gonna be ok", Eli told her. There were a lot of people inside the airport lounge and he didn't know their way here.

"Ok", she said and watched the people going back and forth in the lounge.

She clapped her hands when she finally saw Mommy and Dada.

"Dito na tayo", Dex said, taking the luggage from Eli and they followed Aira. Dex once again staying at the back to look after his herd.

They felt good once they were inside the airport service. Aira called on Roger and it was his advice. It will cost them $100 canadian dollars. Roger can meet them but since it was raining, it will inconvenient the both of them.

"look Lizzie", Eli get Lizzie's attention. There were rains outside the airport but as they drove farther from the airport, there were snow flurries getting on the windshield of their taxi.

"that was snow Kuya?", she whispered

"I think so", he whispered back but both of them were excited already. Lizzie hugged Eli and looked at Aira.

"Yes Ate?", Aira asked her

"Nothing Mommy", she said, looking at the driver.

"it's snowing a bit, yeah", Aira told her. She was amused with Lizzie. Getting a little shy, eh?

Lizzie looked at Eli and hugged him quick. Yey! She will really see and taste an actual snow.

They finally reach their house without any trouble. Irene met them and was excited to see them.

"Oh geez! I forgot that you're pregnant", Aira told Irene as they hugged her

"Haha. Onga Ate. One month na lang lalabas na si Dax", excited na sabi ni Irene.
