At exactly six, Rob hears his front door open. "Bobbo, we've come to save you!" He hears Rich call. He chuckles, holding his newly dressed daughter close to him. He puts her bag over his shoulder and carries his own bag in his other hand. He looks at Ayla, who is sucking on her pacifier. He smiles "Okay, let's go". He carries her downstairs, and waiting in his living room are Rich, Jaci and the boys. Rich chuckles upon seeing his friend "Hey, you look a mess". He nods "Mhm. Yeah, thanks. It's kinda what I was going for". Jaci laughs "Here, I'll take her. You two get the bags in the car". Rob nods "Thank you". Jaci takes his daughter from him and sits her on her hip. Ayla realises she's been given to another person and whines. Rob chuckles, then sighs "I'll be back".

By the time they are all in the car, it's half past six. Rich luckily chose to take the minivan. Him and Rob are at the front. Jaci and Fletcher are in the middle with Ayla in between them, in her car seat. Steve and Frank are in the back. And they are off to the airport. Rich sent Fletch and Frank to get teething toys for Ayla and they brought back cooling stars and icybite keys. Which was what their mom told them to get. Ayla's pacifier falls out of her mouth, and on to the floor. She starts to cry a little, gaining Rob's attention. "Fletch, can you pick that up for me?" He asks and the boy nods, leaning forward to get it. "Guys, watch. I have a trick to show you. Let me see it" Jaci speaks up. Rich smiles to himself, then shakes his head "Don't even think about it, Jace". She rolls her eyes "Shut it. Okay, guys. See when she drops her pacifier, it'll usually get dirty. So, what you do is run it under hot water for a good five minutes. But if there's no taps anywhere nearby, like now. Just use a new one until you can get the old one clean. Rob?". He sighs, reaching into his pocket and takes out a spare one before handing it to her. Rich chuckles "Is that the stage you're at, Bobbo?". He sighs "Rich, I have pacifiers in my pockets and god knows what stains on my shirt. What's happening to me?". The Southern man hisses jokingly before patting him on the shoulder "You'll live". "Oh, right. We're meeting up with Matt on the other side" Rich informs him. Rob nods tiredly "Cool".

When they arrive at the airport, the boys jump out and start unloading the luggage while Rob gets Ayla unbuckled "C'mon, gorgeous". She fell asleep before they got here, so it makes it slightly easier. He sits her on his hip, holding her closer than he normally would, so he doesn't drop her. Then he takes the car seat out, which transforms into a baby carrier. Rich and Jaci say their goodbyes to each other before she gets into the driver's seat in the car. And then he heads over to Rob and his kids. Jaci said her goodbyes to the boys earlier. She wouldn't have been able to leave them otherwise. "So, have we got everything?" Rich asks. "Yes, sir" Fletch replies, watching his brothers do all the work. Rich chuckles, ruffling his middle son's hair before collecting some of the luggage. Rob takes Ayla's bag and puts it over his shoulder and that's about all he can carry. "Alright. Steve, you take both yours and Frank's stuff. I'll take mine and Rob's stuff. Fletch, you take your own stuff and Frank, you ain't gettin' out of this, buddy. So, you take the car seat from Rob, okay?" Rich tells them. The three of them salute to him, silently saying yes, sir. Which Rich had taught them. He's a little too proud of that.

They head to security, as well as customs and luckily everything is fine there. Ayla did get some attention from the lady at the desk, though. While waiting for the plane to arrive, Ayla wakes up and the boys ask to play with her. So, Rob sits her in a chair, then stands with Rich at the side. "Hi, Ayla" Frank smiles and Fletch makes a funny face. Which gets a babble from her. He grins proudly. "That wasn't a laugh. That doesn't count" Steve whines. Fletch just sticks his tongue out at him "It's a smile though and a sound came out of her mouth. That's a laugh in my book". "I'm gonna take that book and whack you over the head with it" Steve replies. "How? It's not a real book" Fletch teases. Steve fakes a lunge, causing Fletch to run over to his dad, laughing and hiding behind him. Rich chuckles "Fletch, stop winding your brother up". "But he started it" He huffs. "Yeah, and you can finish it. Just go play with Frank and Ayla" Rich replies. Despite his exhaustion, Rob can't seem to take his eyes off of his daughter for more than two seconds. Even though he's known Rich's boys since they were born, he can't help but worry. Rich pats him on the shoulder, gaining his attention "Protective dad mode; power down". Rob sighs "I know, I'm sorry. I can't help it". Rich chuckles, shrugging it off "Hey, I get it. But she's gonna be fine, you know that". "Yeah, I know" He mumbles, glancing at the kids once again. Rich smiles, rolling his eyes. But he doesn't say anything else on the matter.
Steve soon comes over to stand with them, to get away from his brother for a bit.

Meanwhile, Ayla is loving the attention from Fletcher and Frank. Frank got the icybite keys out for her and she seems to like it. She is biting on the keys, which is a good thing. That's when the speakers go off, telling all business class passengers to head to the gate. "Boys, that's us" Rich calls the two of them. From what he saw Rob do before, Fletch picks up Ayla and gently sits her on his hip. Rob and Rich both smile at the sight. The latter chuckling "See? All worried for nothin". Rob rolls his eyes "Yeah, yeah". Rich looks over at his youngest sons, seeing Frank attempting to carry her too. He sighs "Frank, come here. Take the car seat again". He sees his youngest frown, but makes the smart decision of not arguing. He grabs the seat by the handle, and the two boys quickly catch up.
