"Alright, nana is coming." I smiled as I looked to Ellise on my hip.

"What about papa?" She asked.

"He's coming too, so is uncle Jackson." I smiled and pushed her small hairs out of her face.

"Joe," She said and reached her arms out.

"Come here," He said and grabbed her from me.

I looked down at my phone, seeing it was two which meant they've already landed.

"They should have landed by now." I said.

Joe moved my face to look up as my eyes met with Jackson's.

"Jackson," I squealed and ran over.

I hugged him tight as he laughed.

"Look at you mama," He said and pulled back, "You look great."

I laughed as my mom and Andrew approached behind them.

"Hey," I smiled and hugged my mom. "How was the flight?"

"Killer, the flight attendant spilled beer on me." My mom rolled her eyes.

I laughed as I hugged Andrew. He placed a kiss on my cheek as he smiled.

"You look well rested." He smiled sarcastically.

"I know," I laughed, "Ellise had a nightmare and cried for about three hours straight."

"Let's go out to lunch," My mom smiled. "It'll be nice."

"Actually, I'm supposed to drop her off at Byron's in a little bit." I said. "I'm supposed to help Daniel with something."

"Invite them to lunch too." She shrugged.

"I don't think so," I shook my head.

"Why not?"

"It's because Daniel is going to propose to her and she doesn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone." Joe smiled.

"He's proposing?" Andrew and Jackson yelled.

Everyone around looked over as I shot them looks.

"I don't know if he's doing it today." I said.

"What are you going to say?" Jackson asked.

"I'm going to say no." I said.

"Why?"

"I just...it's not working out for me." I shook my head.

"Lies, she's still in love with Byron." Joe added.

I shut my eyes and let out a frustrated exhale.

"Can we just go, please?" I asked.

"Fine, take my bags." Jackson said and grabbed Ellise from Joe.

I shook my head and grabbed his bags.

"That's my kid," I said.

"She's my niece."

"Not technically," I said.

"But officially," He smiled.

----------------------------------------

"Alright," I smiled and kissed Ellise's cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye mama," She smiled.

I looked to Byron and smiled.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"She's mine too, you don't have to say thanks."

"Right," I nodded and walked past him.
