"But Tessa your pregnant it's not safe"

"Hardin I'm only 25 weeks it's perfectly safe the doctor said so and it's Ken's 60th birthday we can't miss that you no how much Emery adores him"

"Ino but....it's Washington"I know what he is thinking we haven't been back to Washington in years everyone usually fly's out here buts it's Ken's 69th and there having a party at there house even tho there is bad memories back there it's just the past we have moved on we are happy now

"Plane tickets are booked where leaving Friday"he tells me but what I'm going to tell him next he is not going to like "Oh yes and one more thing you have to wear a suit"

"Are you joking"

"It's black tie you have to they are going all out"

"Of course they are"he rolls his eyes "please babe cheer up"

"Babe"he raises an eyebrow "oh shut up"I pull him in for a kiss "your lucky I love you"he pulls away and I laugh "so lucky"I tease him and he kisses me again he starts moving his hands "ok we need to stop"

"Why"he continues kissing me "because we leave in 2 days we have to pack"I pull away completely and he laughs "now Tess remember we are going for 2 days don't overpack"

"I won't I just like to be prepared"

We arrive at the airport we picked the worst day for flying a Friday in New York is just the busiest day of the week "Em stay close don't run of"Hardin tells Emery "I will dad don't worry" she takes my hand Emery is terrified of security I'm not sure how she will react the last time she screamed crying "Em do you want me to go first"Hardin ask her and she nods he walks straight through and then it's Emery's  turn "ok go sweetie"

"I don't want to mommy"

"Em it will take 2 seconds"I try move her but she won't move her feet "no no no"

"Emery we don't have time for this come on people are waiting" I say and she starts to cry "can I walk in with her"I ask and security tells me no "can someone just get the child in we are all waiting"

"Excuse me"I turn around "you heard me get the child under control"

"Don't you talk about my child"

"Well when she is holding up the line chop chop little girl"she claps her hands at Emery and that angers me "get your hands out of my daughters face"I scream at her and she takes a step forward "I'll talk to who ever I want to Tessa"wait how does she no my name then I remember as I look at her more closely "Steph"

"Miss me"she smirks "do you know your mom is a bit-"she looks to emery and without realising I slap her "what the hell"she grabs her cheek and Emery runs over and kicks her legs "go now before your removed"the security yells and I grab Emery thankful they let us go threw at the same time "Tessa what the hell happened I couldn't see anything"Hardin says panicking "Mommy slapped someone in the faces s I kicked her in the legs"Emery tells him

"What who"he says in shock "me"we both hear behind us and we both turn Hardin pushes Emery behind him I can hear his breathing getting heavier "didn't think you two would last what an adorable family"

"Mommy who is that girl"

"No one important"I tell her

"I knew your mommy and daddy a long time ago little girl and well"she laughs "you seem to be a brat just like your mommy"

"Steph do not speak to her that way"I can feel the anger boiling inside me

"Don't call me a brat"Emery steps in front of Hardin she has no fear she will speak up to anyone

"Steph go away"he says holding Emery back "oh Hardin you don't scare me"he steps forward and she flinches a bit "I said go away before I do something I regret"he spits

"It was nice seeing yous"she says smirking walking away and Hardin tries to walk after him "Hardin calm down she is gone"I take his hand and I can feel him relax "I'm sorry...she just brought back all this anger"

"Daddy it's ok"Emery wraps her arms around his legs and he kneels down to her height "I'm sorry princess don't be scared"

"I'm not scared it was funny when mommy slapped her she deserved it"she laughs "that's my girl well done for sticking up for yourself"He gives her a high five "Hardin don't encourage that Emery violence is never right mommy made a mistake"I say and her and Hardin look at each other laughing "ok mommy"she looks to Hardin and he winks

Thankfully me made it to our flight on time and we didn't run into Steph again "I'm getting the window seat"Emery hops in the seat "I get in the middle and Hardin gets the aisle because he doesn't want anyone looking at 'his girls' walking by

Thankfully Emery fell asleep and I'm just reading a book "you know what"Hardin whispers in my ear

"What"

"I packed that set you know the one I like that you didn't wear yet hopefully Em can stay over with Karen and Ken one of the nights before we leave and you can try it on for me"I can't even respond his voice is so seductive I lean my head on his shoulder and press my legs together "to bad the bathrooms are to small on this plane"

"Hardin stop please"I plead with him he knows what his words do to me I hear him laugh to himself he knew what he was doing he gives my tigh a gentle squeeze and I let out a small moan I turn to kiss him but he doesn't let me "oh Tess have some patience"he pulls away "your evil"I tell him

"You love it"he smirks back god this will be a long flight
