You watched as katie and Caitlin brought bags out to a car outside. This caused you to watch on curiosity until they were both standing by the front door.

"Darling, come say bye to mommy" Caitlin said causing your heart to hurt as you slowly walked towards them

"Leaving?" You whispered sadly looking up a Katie who decided to kneel down to your level

"I am, it's time I go to play for Ireland. But we'll FaceTime and be back together before you know it" Katie said pulling you into her arms as she hugged you goodbye

"I love you sweetheart and I'll see you soon" Katie said releasing you as a tear fell as Katie gave Caitlin a goodbye kiss and hug

"I've got her" Caitlin said gently pushing Katie out the door who looked ready to stay to be with you

"I know, your going to miss her. I am too" Caitlin said picking you up as more tears silently fell down your face

You just tucking your face into the crook of her neck as you gripped her shirt

"You leave too?" You mumbled

"We are both leaving later today" Caitlin said rubbing you back as she head to the kitchen

"Let's have a snack" Caitlin said, trying to think of something to distract you. Caitlin trying to set you down but you refused to release your grip on her

"Okay, how about some crackers?" Caitlin asked, hoping to get a respond from you but just gripped her shirt tighter.

Caitlin grabbed your favorite crackers before moving to sit on the couch with you and put on your favorite show, hoping to distract you.

Caitlin hear the front door open, causing her to place you next to her on the couch, telling you to wait there

"You are suppose to be at the airport?" Caitlin stated confused as she saw Katie in the hallway

"Yes, but I got an idea" Katie said quickly rushing to find you

Your eyes lite up as you raced to Katie, who pulled you into her arms as you gave her a hug

"No go?" You asked hopefully

"I'm still leaving" causing your eyes to shine with tears you were holding back. "I have to give you something before I leave" she continued pulling a stuff animal bear from behind her back

"When you miss me. Just give him a giant hug" Katie said holding it out to you to take as you quickly pulled it into a hug

"I miss you already" you said causing the the two adults to hold back tears at your pure heart

"I miss you too" Katie said placing a kiss to you head before looking at Caitlin with her own tears at bay

"Go before you miss your flight" caitlin said gently pushing Katie out the door again, giving her a final kiss before she shut the door.

"We'll see her soon" Caitlin said picking you up and holding you close

"How about a nap before we leave" Caitlin said laying you on the couch and laying a blanket on you.

Caitlin sat next to you and ran her fingers through your hair to lull you to sleep, knowing the crying had tired you out. Watching as your eyes finally closed and your breathing even out as you held the bear close to you

I don't think she is going to put the bear down for a while
