twenty six

Y/Ns POV

We reluctantly handed our room keys back to reception and dragged our feet to the taxi, waiting outside.

Me and Jake were both thrilled we would see Callie, but the honeymoon had been so fun, it was really sad to be leaving.

We shared Jakes headphones, listening to a mix of our music and bopping along.

Eventually we reached the airport. And lugged our bags through security before finally getting on the plane.

I felt a lot better this time, as we lifted into the air, Jake squeezing my hand reassuringly.

We put on a random film and both cuddled again, completely exhausted by the action packed week.

I loved moments like this, when we had no responsibilities at that moment in time, and we could just lie together peacefully. I felt myself drifting into a light sleep.

———————————

I sat up groggily as Jake gently shook me awake.

"We're landing soon, so we have to seatbelt up. I got us ice cream tho!" He said softly grinning at me

I kissed him on the cheek as a thank you before putting on my seatbelt.

Jake started joking around with his ice cream, putting some on his nose and making a moustache of it, as I snorted with laughter at his adorable silliness.

Before long we were on the ground. It was 1am in NY, so we had already spoken and agreed with terry and Sharon we would pick up Callie the next morning.

We dragged ourselves through customs and flopped down into our taxi.

I felt my eyes start to close but, it was really uncomfortable to lean my head back on the vertical, and hard seat.

Jake noticed and subtlety held his arms out to me, before I exhaustedly sunk into them, breathing him in as I drifted off to sleep.

Jakes POV

I carefully woke y/n up and helped her inside the apartment as she was still half asleep.

She threw on one of my old T-shirt's over her underwear and I did the same.

We jumped into bed and I held out my arms to her again but she tiredly shook her head, and instead pulled me into her arms.

I wasn't going to pretend it wasn't nice to be held, so I softly kissed her on the jaw, and relaxed my head on her upper chest, as we both fell asleep...

Y/Ns POV

I giggled as I literally dragged Jake out of bed. I had been trying to get him up for the past hour, with little luck, so I resorted to using all my strength to yank him off the bed.

"Okay I'm up! I'm up!" He shouted groggily, as he came over to me, and quickly cupped my face, kissing me lovingly.

After some cereal and changing, we walked to Terrys to pick up our baby girl.

We knocked on the door, and Sharon answered sleepily.

"Hi guys, Callie's just through here" she said leading us inside

She was sitting on the floor with Ava, reordering some stuffed animals. Me and Jake shared a proud moment, before calling to her. She turned and saw us, the biggest smile spreading onto her face, "mama, duda" she said confidently as me and Jake chuckled at her cuteness. She started toddling unsurely towards us, and after a few steps, Jake swept her off her feet as she giggled.

We both gushed at her, as she became fairly hyper, before saying goodbye and thanking terry and Sharon.

In the taxi on the way home, Callie sat in her car seat, between me and Jake as we both observed her, full of love and pride for our beautiful daughter.
