The plane came into land and Gemma opened her eyes, she looked over at Bette who smiled,
How long have I been asleep for? she asked Bette, Bette smiled and looked as out the window as the plane pulled into a Standstill Well for about Two hours Gemma sat up and wiped her mouth,
Im sorry Bette sometimes its the only way for me to get through a Flight to sleep Bette smiled
Gemma its ok I slept about the same, had a late night last night so dont worry ok the seat belt sign went off and the two woman stood up and stretched there bodies, Gemma got the hand luggage out of the over carriage and handed Bette her brief case, the two woman left the plane and walked towards arrivals.

Bette looked into the early morning sky it was almost 7am and Bette felt the chill in the air, London Heathrow was beaming with people walking in every direction, Gemma guided Bette towards the Baggage convey belt, Gemma saw the luggage and grabbed them when they came around the first time
So you have had practice at this then? asked Bette amazed that Gemma didnt mess around when it came to collecting her luggage
Well when you Holiday with twelve family members then no I guess I dont, so we have every thing our ride will be waiting out side, I will drop you off at your Hotel and then I will carry on to Sheffield? Bette looked at Gemma she never questioned where Gemma lived
Gemma I dont meet the Artist until Tomorrow and thats before we fly back so, let me come with you?
Gemma pushed the trolley while listening to Bettes words, she reached into her coat pocket she took out her mobile phone and switched it on
Phone Tina let her know you have landed ok, and tell her to get Louise my assistant to give her my Nans and familys number just I case she needs you, and Thank you Bette I appreciate it
Bette phoned Tina, Tina and Alice were looking through baby albums, which Kit had brought over, Bette and Tina sounded like teenagers each replying you put the phone down first.

The car journey took four hours, which Gemma explained wasnt bad because it can take up to five hours on a bad day, Bette admired the scenery looking at the cows in the fields and all the trees and cars driving on the wrong side of the road, they Hit the town Sheffield and Bette noticed Gemma started to look nervous
Gemma it will be fine, if your family are like you they will understand!

The car drove up the hill and Bette looked to both sides of the road, the houses seemed dull and not much light, the car turned right and approached the small semi houses when the car came to a stop
We are here Gemma said has she saw her Familys familiar cars all parked out side her Nans, she knew that the family couldnt miss the reunion and some how she was glad, Bette followed Gemma has she approached the door, she remembered the last time she had walked through this door, it was over a year ago when her Sister was getting married, she opened the door the chime rang, she heard familiar voices in the lounge, and little foot steps running towards the door, the Little girl with Blue eyes and blonde hair stopped and looked up at Gemma then Tina, Gemma smiled at the little girl and Bette noticed the smile in Gemmas eyes was this Scout
Well Hello my Melia moo the little girl smiled and recognised the tone of Gemmas voice, Gemma picked the little girl up Amelia snuggled into Gemmas neck and placed kisses all over her cousins face, Bette and Gemma walked into the kitchen and all fifteen members of her family stood there smiling at the return of a sister granddaughter Niece cousin and Daughter, Bette smiled in the back ground as the family approached Gemma and gave a group hug.
Bette watched as kisses and hugs were thrown at Gemma, tears were shared and in that second she saw the Gemma, which not many people would know and understand.
After the strangers to Bette let go of Gemma, they saw Bette standing awkward Gemma looked behind her and spoke
Sorry everyone this is Bette, one of my new friends Everyone said hello Bette this is my family Gemma pointed each Family member out and smiled, each approached Bette and kissed and hugged her like Bette was an old Family friend who they hadnt seen in years.

The family talked and caught up on all the things that had happened in there lives, Bette listened and so how much each of Gemmas family had missed her, Amelia was showing Bette her book she read the words to Bette, she had only just walked into this strangers world and it already felt like she had known Gemma and her family all her adult life.

Bette sat and looked at the chiming Clock it was almost 12.30pm and she knew that they would be heading for the Hotel to sleep, Tomorrow Bette and Gemma would be heading up to Pollys to Pick up Scout, then they would head back to Heathrow for they flight home back to her Tina, she saw Gemmas Aunty approach her and Bette smiled

So Bette Gemma wouldnt tell us if we asked so I will ask, are you the latest squeeze in Gemmas life? Becky looked at Bette; she admired her frankness and smiled
No Im afraid to say I am not, in fact I have only known Gemma about four days Becky looked amazed as Bette answered, intrigued Becky continued
Sorry you have only known Gemma a few days? Bette laughed it did sound kind of crazy! Here she was with Gemma, and she had only known her for a few days, had only spent about twenty hours with her at the most, but she was here and it felt right, she knew Gemma more than she had known Alice five months of getting to know her all them years back, and some how she knew Gemma was going to play a big part in her and Tinas life.

Well to cut a long story short, your Niece showed me, what I could be missing if I walked away from my wife and not fight for her, she helped me and my Tina reconnect and thats all it took, a stranger to show me what could happen if I didnt fight for My Tina and our baby
Becky smiled and looked across at Gemma who was now hugging everyone goodbye, ready to make the journey to the hotel to sleep for a while
You have a baby Bette? Becky asked
I will in about six months Bette beamed with excitement at the prospect of finally starting her family with Tina

Congratulations Bette, it is amazing having Children, Amelia does something different Every day and it still amazes me, it breaks my heart that our Gemma doesnt get to do that with her Child, I hope this time will help Gemma move on with her life, but I have a Feeling you and is it Tina Bette nodded You and Tina will help her do that, Gemma has always needed family around her, its what makes her breath Bette, and I think she has found her American Family, I just hope she finds a new love interest that will help her grow Becky smiled at Bette and walked back into the kitchen, she watched Gemma blow air kisses at Becky, in all the years Gemma had known Becky, she had never kissed her Aunt.

Bette and Gemma said their Final good byes a few tears from Gemma as she sat in the car smiling and waving good-bye, Bette saw Gemmas heart break, as the car drove away
It will be ok Gemma I think the next time you see your family wont be that long this time Bette gently took Gemmas hand and squeezed it reassuring her that things will be better than expected, tomorrow would be the biggest hurdle, Gemma would meet her daughter for the first Time.
