“Mama, when’s mommy gonna be home?” 6 year-old Alexis asked as she continued to stare out the window, waiting for her mother to be dropped off from the airport after being gone for 3 long months on tour.
“She’ll be back soon, baby. Her plane probably just got in.” Selena replied, taking her eyes off her book to see her very eager youngest daughter staring out the window while her oldest daughter, Camila, worked on her homework for the night. The 6 year old didn’t seem to like this answer and let out a huff as she went back to looking out the window.
“Lex, how about we go up to your room and read a book or something until mommy gets home?” Camila suggested, knowing full well if her sister had to sit and wait she would start driving both her and her mom nuts.
“Okay, ‘Mila.” Alexis replied, jumping down from the couch and running up the stairs.
“Thanks, honey, I’ll let you guys know when she gets here.” Selena promised and Camila headed upstairs where Alexis was already waiting with a book for Camila to read.
~*45 minutes later*~
“Hey, I’m home.” Demi said, having just enough time to close the door before Selena ambushed her and brought her into a hug.
“I missed you.” Selena said giving Demi a kiss.
“I missed you too. Where are the girls?” Demi asked noticing her two daughters seemed to be nowhere in sight.
“ ‘Mila went to read Lexi a story to keep her occupied until you got home, maybe they didn’t hear you.” Selena replied.
“Let’s go surprise them.” Demi said as she threw her coat on the hanger and the two women quietly headed up the stairs into Alexis’s room.
“Girls?” Demi said quietly, opening the door a bit more to be able to peek in. There was an unexpected silence when the door was fully opened but when both women caught sight of their daughters both sound asleep in Alexis’s bed, a copy of “The Lorax” resting opened in between them, both of their hearts melted.
“Should we wake them up?” Selena asked, afraid to ruin the sweet moment.
“Not before I take a picture. When was the last time we got an opportunity like this?” Demi replied, taking out her phone and taking a picture of her girls and posting it to twitter before gently waking her daughters up.
@ddlovato: Cutest thing EVER to come home to after months on the road :) #sisterlylove:
