Molly fixed her hair in the rear view mirror before she got out of the truck. She nervously licked her lips and made a face as she tasted the lipstick that coated her lips. She tried to smooth out her skirt and straighten her blouse. "I am not going to get any better then this." She made a face and walked into the busy airport. She scanned the crowd looking for Skylar and the baby. They were supposed to meet at 1 pm so that they could wait for the guys' plane together. Molly fiddled with the band of the watch that AJ had bought her for valentine's day. He had it engraved with "Chipper, here is to watching the time tick together, Love Alex" the band was still too big on her boney wrist. She had reached her target weight last week and was feeling alive for the first time in many months. She still called Skylar or Kim Ann if she felt like binging and they could usually talk her through it and she was thankful for their support.
She had stayed awake last night, lying in Alex's bed, dreaming of the moment she would feel him in her arms. It had been 3 months since they saw each other and it had seemed like eternity for them both. Molly was nervous at the prospect of seeing him because she kept replaying the promise he had made to her the night on the beach "When you hit your target weight I am going to celebrate by marrying you" she loved Alex but she was nervous about the idea of settling down. Her thoughts were interrupted by Skylar calling her name.
"Hi doll, hello my angel" Molly hugged her friend and stole the baby from Skylar's arms. "Hi Hannah, Aunt Molly has to spend as much time with you as I can because once Daddy gets his hands on you no one will be able to tear you away" Molly kissed the baby and breathed in the smell of baby powder. "How come on babies the powder smells divine but on us it smells like we are wearing baby powder scented tampons" Molly laughed. "Have you seen Jessi?"
"She called last night, she is stuck with her agent and will be meeting Howie at the house. It looks like her book is going to be published and she is thrilled"
The girls were talking when the loud speaker announced the arrival of Flight #368 from Germany. "I cannot wait to see the guys" Molly exclaimed.
"Hmm we all know who you can't wait to see" Skylar teased. Her face broke into a smile when she saw the tall handsome man walk through the crowd. She took Hannah from Molly and ran to meet him. He threw his arms around Skylar and Hannah and started to cry "God I have missed my two favourite girls." Kevin kissed his wife and then kissed his daughter. "Hi Molly" Kevin smiled and hugged his friend "See you tomorrow for brunch right?"
"You bet, now go home and spend time with that beautiful family" Molly waved goodbye and stood on her tip toes to look for Alex. She felt warm breath on her neck and turned to smile at Alex but was swept into his arms before she could. "Well that is a welcome. Hi Alex"
"Kiss me" AJ held her as he pressed his lips firmly onto hers. Their kiss became more intense as the feelings of lonliness and want surfaced. Alex put Molly down and looked her up and down. "You are still too skinny but baby you look gorgeaus"
Molly smiled "Well I am at my goal weight though doc would like to see me about 20 pounds heavier. How was your flight?"
"We can talk about that later, right now I want to get my luggage and walk hand in hand with you to my truck and then drive home and spend the night holding you." Alex smiled and kissed her again.
Molly broke away and smiled " let's get you home" The couple walked hand in hand to the luggage carousel and waited for his luggage.

Nick couldn't shake the feeling that he had met the blonde girl that he sat beside on the plane, before. Her voice had a hint of an accent and her eyes gave off a resemblence to someone he could not place. "Please tell me that I wasn't mean to her in high school and she has come back to haunt me" Nick thought to himself, taking a jab at Molly and Howie. He laughed and walked over to meet his mom.

Howie waved to his mom and dad and motioned to them that he was going to
find his luggage. He saw AJ and Molly leaving, hand in hand and he rolled
his eyes. He was so sick of hearing about how happy they were. He was very
happy that his best friend had found a woman who had tamed his wild heart
but he was upset that it was his ex girlfriend who had done it. He was happy
with Jessi, they were in the getting to know each other stage and things
were going great, it was just hard to hear AJ talk about Molly in a romantic
sense. "Get over it Howie, you have a great girl who is trying to get to
know you" Howie wheeled the two bags over to his parents and hugged them
tight.
