Macaiah fell asleep in about 2 minutes on Nicki's chest, making the cutest snoring noise Nicki and Safaree had ever heard. Nicki just rubbed Cai's head gently with one hand and laid her other hand on his back, also rubbing gently. She closed her eyes and remembered the last time she had done this, had her son sleep on her chest and she remembered it was in the hospital. She felt something light brush against her hand and opened her eyes. Safarees hand hovered above hers, almost as if he had gone to hold it, then remembered the way she had treated him that morning and stopped. He went to move it away and go back to just watching his son sleep but Nicki caught his hand and clutched at it. He looked in her eyes and saw an apology. Neither wanted to speak, to wake up there son or to ruin the moment. But he knew it meant sorry. He squeezed her hand back, telling her that he forgave her.

"Umm we're here" The driver said, looking back at the family oblivious to the fact they had arrived at the airport about 5 minutes ago.

"Baby, Honey wake up. We're here." Nicki tried to wake up her son, but he didn't stir. "Cai. CAI!"

"what? Why is it so cold, i don't wanna go to school mom, let me go back to sleep."

"Macaiah, we are at the airport on the way to LA silly boy! Come on" she laughed.

"Oh. Oh yeah." he smiled and got up, stretching his back out, he turned to see his dad hand him a green blanket he had spare in the bag.

"You said you was cold? Wrap that round you." SB said.

"I can't walk around wrapped in a blanket! I'm 13!"

"Hey! I'm nearly 30 and i do it all the time!" Nicki said.

"I'll wear one if you do Dad?" Cai said looking up at his dad with a look of innocence that Safaree just couldn't refuse.

SB sighed, looking back at his son, he didn't particularly want to wear a blanket through the airport, but didn't want his son to be cold so wrapped it around him anyway. Nicki got out of the car and grabbed a couple of the bags that the driver was unloading from the boot of the car. She turned to see Safaree wrapped in a bright yellow blanket that she carried as a spare. It only partially covered him because he was so big and tied it round his neck and shoulder like a toga, she tried to smother her laughs but failed miserably.

The three of them walked into the airport clutching what seemed like a million bags, wrapped in luminous blankets, they stuck out like a sore thumb. As they approached the desk, getting out there passports, they heard the sound of running, Nicki paused and turned round to see her mom running towards her.

"ONIKA GET HERE NOW" Mama Carol called. Safaree and Macaiah had heard by now and turned round. Nicki just stood there, not knowing what to do. Macaiah instantly moved to his dad who wrapped his arms around Macaiah's shoulders, never wanting to let go.

"Mom, please stop making a scene." Nicki said, as she walked towards her mom.

"NO onika. You cannot just take MY son without telling me. Give him back."

"give him back? Really mom? Have you listened to yourself lately?" By now, Jelani and Nicki's Dad had come rushing round the corner, huffing and puffing like they had been running for hours.Nicki continued." Your talking about him like he's an object. Have you even considered Macaiah's feelings throughout all of this? Me and Safaree arnt taking him to LA because we want him, or a anything like that. HE wants to. You've treated him so bad this last week that he's become frightened of you. Look at his face!"

This caused the whole family to turn and stare at Macaiah who was still clutching to his Dad for dear life. He was crying silently now, wishing he was on the plane already.

"Cai? Tell us what you want?" Jelani asked, walking up to his nephew.

"I just wanna be with my mom and dad." He turned to Mama Carol. "Every things changed. I haven't changed how i treat you at all but you treat me different now. Nothings the same. You went all weird and scary. You grounded me for nothing. You said you were fine with the whole situation but Ur clearly not. I just want to be with my mom and dad. They're the only people who i feel at home with now."

"Macaiah, if you don't come back with me right now, i won't take you back in when you come crawling back from LA when you realise how clueless your parets are."

"DON'T SAY THAT!" Cai screamed back, hysterical with range. Safaree pulled him back by his hood and whispered " Cai, contain your anger".

"Macaiah Maraj. I mean it, get in the car."

He turned away, not wanting to ever look at Mama Carol again.

Mama Carol just stared back. " You know what? I'm done with you. All of you. Come on Robert." She said as she walked away from everyone.

Robert just stood there frozen to the spot staring at Nicki. "No Carol. Your wrong for this. I'm staying with my kids, and my grandson, until they leave."

Mama Carol just stared at the back of his head and walked away, leaving her whole family in the airport. "I'm sorry for her" Papa Robert said, walking to Macaiah. He bent down and and hugged Macaiah, who hugged back tightly. " She doesn't mean all that, shes just hurt right now, ,maybe when you get back from LA, she'll be back to normal."

Macaiah didn't say anything, just nodded at Papa Robert, who walked to Nicki to say goodbye to her before they got on there jet. Jelani moved over to Macaiah, hugging him and picking him up as if he was still a toddler. "How long you going to LA for little man?"

"Just a week i think Jelani" he replied, trying to smile through the tears still streaming down his face.

"Good, make sure you make your mom bring you straight to me when you get back in NY. Imma miss you."

"Ill miss you to Lani!"


After they all said they're emotional goodbyes it was time for them to get on the jet. By now Macaiah was emotionally and physically exhausted and as they trudged there way to the private jet, Macaiah looked like he was about to pass out. Without telling him Safaree grabbed him under his armpits from behind and lifted him onto his back, "just hold onto my neck, we'll be on the jet soon and then you can go to sleep."

Macaiah just nodded and held on like his dad told him. Nicki was still sad after seeing her mom act that way, but seeing Macaiah nuzzle into Safaree's neck and try to go sleep even though they was still warming, made her heart warm a little. As soon as they got into they jet Safaree gently laid Macaiah onto one of the seats, then adjusted the seat back, wrapped him in a couple of blankets so he was comfy. He walked to Nicki's seat, picked her up and sat down, placing her on his lap. They both went straight to sleep, neither being able to find any words to describe this situation. They were sad about what went down with Mama Carol, angry at her that she had upset there son, but happy because they felt like was a new start. A new life.
