"Ms. Sutton we're about to start our decent into Montreal," the flight attendant says waking you up from your slumber. You look over and don't see Isa in her bed and you start to panic.

We're literally in a sealed container in the air, she can't have gotten far, maybe she's with John.

You turn over to wake Pierre and see him fast asleep, Isa beside him. Your heart melts, and you grab your phone to take a picture. You lean over and kiss the both of them on the cheek, Pierre starts to stir.

"Wake up loves, we're going to be landing soon," you say softly. Pierre opens his eyes and looks around, seeing Isa still fast asleep beside him.

"She woke up earlier and refused to go back to sleep until she got into bed with us," Pierre says smiling gently rubbing her shoulder to wake her up.

"Isa, time to wake up we're almost there," Pierre says, and Isa stirs awake.

"Come on let's get you changed and ready to see Mom and Dad," you say picking her up.

You take her to the bathroom and get her changed out of her PJ's and into a change of clothes. Then changing into some comfortable clothes, yourself. When you come out, Pierre says, "yeah I should probably change too. Want to make a good first impression for your parents." He gets up and heads to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

You head back to your seat with Isa and the flight attendant brings you and Isa a bowl of fruit.

"Good morning Maddie, Isa, how'd you sleep?" John asks.

"Pretty well actually, Pierre said Isa got up last night I hope she wasn't too loud." John just shakes his head no.

"Did you get any sleep?" You ask John.

"Slept like a baby," John says smiling. Pierre comes up and sits across from you, the flight attendant bringing him some fruit as well. "Can I grab anyone a coffee before we land?" She asks.

"Yes please," all three of you say and she brings them over in to-go cups knowing you won't finish them in the few minutes you have left in the air. You take a sip of your coffee and sigh as you watch the familiar city come into view. Pierre leans across and reaches for your hand, you reach out and hold it smiling at each other. The plane lands smoothly and taxi's off the run way to the hanger.

"Look Isa, who's that?" You say pointing out the window to the figures in front of the blackened-out SUV, she crawls into your lap and looks.

"Momma, Dadda," she says smiling.

The doors open and John gets up first grabbing some of the luggage, "I'll go bring the car around."

Isa jumps up, and you have to pick her up to stop her from running off. "You gotta wait for me and Pierre silly." Pierre gets up behind you and hands you your purse. You sling it over your free shoulder as Pierre grabs some bags.

"You ready?" You ask looking back at him and Pierre nods.

You walk off the plane carrying Isa and wave to your parents.

"Momma, Dadda!" Isa yells and you put her down watching her run to them.

"Hey there lady bug," your dad says picking her up hugging her. "There's my sweet girl," your mom says pinching her cheeks.

"Hey mom! Hey dad!" You say giving them a hug. "This is Pierre, Pierre these are my parents Robert and Elizabeth Sutton."

Pierre reaches out his hand to your dad, and you dad shakes it.

"Nice to finally meet you in person Robert," Pierre says.

"Nice to meet you too, Pierre," he says. "I trust it was a good flight?"
