Morgan's POV

"Are you sure you have everything honey?" asks Jrue for the billionth time this morning. I'm about to leave for the airport to fly to Florida to meet up with the rest of the "fam" for vacation. I had the weekend off as well as next week so I came to visit Mama and him before I left since they can't come because of his game.

"Yes Dad I'm positive." I nod. "Stop worrying. I've got this." I assure him putting on my back pack. "You're acting like this is my first time traveling. Geez. Have just a little faith please."

"I know  it's not, but that doesn't mean I like you flying alone any better." he says fooling with my water bottle. "Moe I thought I told you to put your name on this." he sighs reaching into the basket to find a Sharpie. 

"Baby leave her alone." instructs Mama coming down the stairs. "Stop being such a helicopter parent and let her be. She's a big girl now Jrue. She can handle herself." He rolls his eyes and backs up continuing to write my name. "You already put everything in the car right?"

"Yep!" I smile popping the "P". She laughs and grabs my chin in her hand.

"MoMo you've still got jelly on your face from breakfast." she laughs and wipes it off for me. "There we go! Now come on we've got to go if you want to make your flight." Daddy takes that as his cue to toss me my bottle. He can't ride with us because he's leaving for a gym session. 

"Be good kiddo. I love you." he gives me a hug and kisses my forehead to which I return but on his cheek instead.

"Love you too Daddy!" I call over my shoulder as I run to get in Cheney's car. She jogs up behind me and climbs in the driver's side as I get in the passenger's. We start our drive with the radio on full blast and us both singing along and goofing off with each other. Once we get about ten minutes away she turns down the volume with the thingy on her steering wheel.

"Moe you're going to behave for Tobs right?" questions Mama raising her eyebrows but still looking at the street. "Remember baby Mal is going to be there and you need to teach her good stuff and not turn her into a little devil child like you." 

"Hey!" I protest dramatically crossing my arms. "I am not a 'devil child'."

"Not always." smirks Lauren turning into the parking lot. "Use your manners; don't talk to strangers-"

"Only drink water on the plan because if not I get sick; don't leave my luggage anywhere; text you once I get to my gate, after I board the plane, as soon as a land, and call as soon as I'm with everyone else. I know Mama, I know." 

She smiles and rolls her eyes, "Just be safe and somewhat good for me Bean. I love you baby girl." 

"I love you too Laur. Can you pop the trunk for me please?" 

"Of course." she leans over and plants a kiss on my cheek before hitting the button. "Bye baby. Send me pics please!"

"Yes ma'am!" I yell through the car as I pull out my huge suit case. I slam the trunk shut and wave as she drives off. This is going to be a fun week.

Christen's POV

"Jules did you grab the camera?" I ask as we hurry through the very busy Chicago airport to our gate. We got a late start this morning and it literally takes off in ten minutes. 

"Yeah Pressy it's in my purse." she nods looking at her boarding pass for the gate number. "Hey there it is!" she points. I look up and see "A22" in black. Thank gosh we made it. I hear the final boarding bell so I pick up my pace.

"Mama I've got to pee!" whines Mallory tugging on the strap of my purse. Mal flew here yesterday so she could ride with JJ and I to Florida because if not the only flight she could get would make her get there five hours before anyone else and she's not sitting in an airport alone for that long. 

"Mally we're going to miss our plane." I sigh. "Can you wait until we board an you can go on there?" She shakes her head no and starts to do this little dance. "Mals your eighteen not eight. You can wait." I insist still walking. 

"Aunt Jay I've really got to go!" I hear her exclaim desperately from behind me.

"Mallory Diane I told you no now knock it off." I instruct not turning around. "Hi!" I smile at the flight attendant taking tickets and hand her both Mal's and mine. She scans them fast and hands them back quickly ushering us on to the plane. I grab Mallory's free hand and drag her down the ramp with Julie following behind us. We find our seats fast and sit down with Julie by the window cause if not she gets sick, Mal in the middle because she'll pester the heck out of the attendants, and me on the aisle. Mallory wiggles around in her seat and crosses her legs tightly about to explode. "Just a few more minutes until we take off and you can go." As soon as I say that the pilot comes on and lets us all know there's a delay on the runway. 

"Mama." whimpers Mal tearing up. "I can't hold it anymore!" I look around frantically and flag down one of the servers. 

"Can she please go to the bathroom? It's an emergency." The guy looks from me to her and his eyes widen. 

"Yeah, yeah, of course ma'am. It's straight back." he says making Mal jump up. She pushes past him and sprints. 

"Thank you sir." I laugh awkwardly. "I told her not to drink all that smoothie." Mal comes back a few minutes later a lot calmer and sits down between Jules and I with a yawn. "You good now kiddo?"

"Mhm." she nods leaning her head on my shoulder. "How long is this flight?"

"Four hours and forty-five minutes." I sigh resting my cheek on her head. "Aunt Ju has Nemo on her laptop. I bet if you ask nicely she'll let you watch." I look over at Julie and give her a pleading look making her roll her eyes and take it out of her carry on.

"Here baba." says JJ setting it up for her and handing her earbuds. She gets it started so Julie and I exchange a smile over her. "Do you know if Papa is coming? I know Brian can't make it because of work, but Jerr never said either way." 

"Mom never said." I reply, "but he probably is because you know how he doesn't like all of us girls out without at least one guy." 

"He's so old fashion." chuckles Julie softly. "It's adorable."

"How's Zac doing?"

"As dreamy as ever." she brags smiling and sticking her tongue out at me. I laugh quietly and playfully push her head. "Hey!" she pouts. "I'm telling Mama you were being mean to me!"

"Oooh!" teases Mal taking her earbud out. "Ciabah's going to get you!"

"Watch your movie or I'm going to get you!" I threaten tickling her. She bursts into giggles so I stop so we don't disrupt everyone. I stick the thing back in her ear and press play again so JJ and I can keep talking. "You better not tell Mama I hit you." I say seriously. 

"She wouldn't do anything."

"Oh yeah?" I question. "Tell that to my butt." Julie never gets in trouble and it's obnoxious. Mom and Mama literally let her get away with murder. She killed my turtle last month and they didn't do anything! I rolled my eyes at last camp because we were conditioning so Mama made me stay after and run five extra miles and then when we finally got back to the hotel I got a spanking too. It's just not fair! "Mama gives me more than just three swats like she gives you."

"I'm not bad like you are." she says snotty like. I swear the tips of my ears go red in anger. I'm not the bad one! Ugh!

"Whatever." I mumble looking away from her. She's so annoying. For the rest of the ride the three of us sit in complete silence with Mallory completely occupied by Nemo and then The Little Mermaid. I grab hold of Mal's hand as we get off. 

"Mami!" she exclaims letting go of me and running to the tan midfielder waiting with her arms open for her. 

"Princess!" yells Tobin, matching her tone, hugging her tightly. She lifts her up and settles her on her hip before smiling at me, "How was your flight?" 

"It was fine." I fake gritting my teeth. "Has Moe landed yet?"

"Yeah she's down getting luggage. When do your parents land?" she questions bouncing Mallory up a little higher. "Babe you're almost too big for me to hold."

"Hope should be-"

"Chris, Mom's here!" squeals JJ jumping up next to me. 

"Ow Jules!" I complain covering my ears. "We're inside. Chill out." She ignores me and pulls me in the direction of Mom's gate I presume.  Tobin nods saying she's got Mal and they walk off to baggage claim. Julie drags me all the way down the hall to where Mom is. She grins big when she spots us. 

"Hey girls." greets Mom happily. Julie launches herself into her arms and clings to her tightly making Mom playfully roll her eyes. "This one." she mouths to me making me giggle. "Hi Julie B. How are you honey?" 

"I'm good Mommy!" she beams. "When does Mama land?"

"Should be right now." answers Mom looking down at her phone. JJ immediately detaches herself and starts off for Mama's gate. "How much sugar did she have on you girls' plane?" she asks me putting her arm other my shoulder and following the hyperactive blonde skipping in front of us. 

"None. That's just pure Julie."

"Wonderful." sarcastically says Mom. "Did you guys get in alright?"

"Yeah but Mom," I pause and take a breath, "I was just playing with her and I pushed her and she said she was going to tell Mama." I look up at her nervously not sure what her reaction is going to be. 

She replies with a question, "What all happened on that flight?" I explain it to her and she sighs. "You're not the bad one Christen Annemarie. Both of you are equally bad in your own way. Mama and I know that." she jokes kissing my temple. "I'll talk to JJ when we get to the house about teasing. That wasn't nice and I know she knows better than to laugh at you for getting in trouble." I nod and lean more of my body weight on her as we walk. "Are you so tired I need to carry you? I mean I know you always get jet lagged the worst but baby the flight was only like five hours." I mumble something I don't even understand and lean on her more. "Yeah you're definitely going down for a nap before dinner tonight." Mom stops walking and turns around squatting for me. "Hop up baby girl." I gratefully do as directed and lazily put my arms around her neck and rest my head between her shoulder blades. 

Mallory's POV

"Moe!" I yell spotting my cousin. I try to wiggle free of Tobin's grip but she holding me too tight. "Mami can you put me down please?"

"Are you going to run if I do?" she quizzes raising an eyebrow at me.

"Can't I go to Moe?" I wonder confused. 

"You can go to Moe as long as you walk next to me." she offers.

"Fine." I sigh. She puts me down and I speed walk as fast as I can to Morgan. "Hi Moe! You ready to hit the beach?" Before she can reply I feel a firm smack on my bottom. 

"I told you to stay by me not to fast walk away." scolds Mami looking at me sternly. She takes my hand roughly still giving me the look.  "If you do that again at all this week you're just going to sit in your room. Capiche?"

"Capiche." I nod afraid. She loses her strict glare and kisses my forehead. 

"I just don't want anything to happen to you baby. I'd miss you too much." she explains softening her grasp of my hand. "MoMo do you need any help with the bags?"

"Nope!" smiles Moe popping the "p" sound like she always does. "I got all seven right here."

"Wow Morgz!" praises Tobin impressed. She gives her a high five and the a side hug. "Good job kiddo! Did you call Lauren yet and tell her I've got you?"

"No but I can real quick." 

Mami nods, "Yeah that'd be a good idea." They both laugh before she pulls out her phone and talks to Auntie Laur for a minute and then let's Tobin talk. Once Mami hangs up I notice Ciabah, Honey, Aunt Jules, and Mama come down the steps to where we are. I giggle cause Honey is giving Mama a piggyback ride.

"There's my favorite soccer player!" says Ciabah wrapping me in a big hug. "I've missed you so much baba." she says kissing my forehead. "I think you've grown a whole foot since I saw you last!" she jokes ruffling my hair. Honey rolls her eyes and leans down to peck the top of my head too. 

"Mama's just a little tired if you couldn't tell." she smiles. "Can you do me a big favor and roll my suitcase to the car?"

"Mhm!" I nod standing on my tip toes to kiss her cheek. We gather all our bags and head out to the big rental van Aunt Jules got for us all. Ciabah and Mami put all our stuff in the trunk while the rest of us pile in. Moe and I go to the very back, Julie sits on the row in front of us, then Honey lays Mama down on the first row so when Mami gets in she sits with Aunt Julie. Honey drives and Ciabah takes shot gun.

"You guys ready to have some fun?" asks Honey as she pulls out. "Tobin Heath why aren't you buckled up?" Mami turns beet red and quickly clicks on her seat belt.

"Sorry Hope." she sheepishly apologizes scratching the back of her neck with her hand. 

"Mhm." hums Ciabah from up front. "We'll ground you just like will ground Press." Mami turns even more red making Moe start to laugh. 

"Shut up Morgan." growls Mami embarrassed. The van except for Mami and Mama roar in laughter. Mami looks at me pretending to be sad, "Even you Mally-O?"

"Sorry Mami!" I giggle. "But it's funny! You got in trouble You got in trouble!"

"Alright, alright!" chuckles Honey. "That's enough Mallory." I smile cheekily at her through the rearview making her laugh more. "What have we gotten ourselves into Car?"

"I have no idea." mumbles Ciabah turning around to look at all of us. "Who's ready for some fun?"

"Me!" I scream over everyone else happily.

"Okay Hopey you know what that means." she smirks. "Let's go!"
