Time flew by as the drive back home was becoming close to it’s end, though things were going to be very hectic once they return safely. Mr. Noonan knew that arrangements were to be made and a family meeting to come along as well, yet he wasn’t too worried on how things would play out. His main focus right now was to get themselves home safe and sound.

A minute later, he made a quick turn and slowly went forward as his home came into view. Be pulled over to the curb and stopped, gently removing his seatbelt and letting out a slow sigh, glad that they were able to make it back home without a hoard of news reporters stalking behind them. 

[i]“Hey you two,”[/i] he said looking through the rearview mirror, [i]“We’re home.”[/i]

Finding that the both of them had decided to take a nap, he got out of the car and stepped over to Roland’s door, checking first to see if he was resting his head on the car door, and opened it lightly once confirmed he wasn’t.

[i]“Roland?”[/i] said Mr. Noonan as he gently shook the boy to wake him up, [i]“Wake up Roland. We’re home, safe and sound.”[/i]

As Roland rubbed his weary eyes, he leaned up and took a look to find out that they made it back. He yawned and stretched himself out quickly, afterwards replying  to Mr. Noonan.

[i]“We are?”[/i] said Roland with a tiresome voice, [i]“Awesome. Now I can take a nap.”[/i]

[i]“Hold off on that,”[/i] said Mr. Noonan with a light chuckle, [i]“Let’s worry about getting Avery inside first and get everything settled.”[/i]

Roland looked over to the side to find that Avery had fallen asleep as well. It was of no surprise after that she had been going through, but his main concern was to get her indoors before anything else was to happen.

[i]“Avery?”[/i] he said tiresomely, lightly grabbing her arm and shaking her gently to get her awake, [i]“We’re here. You have to wake up now.”[/i]
