Saturday 14 April, The Journey Home

Dominic sighed in relief as Joshua finally nodded off, cuddled up to his chest, clutching his 'blankee' tightly. He didn't dare to move at all, even though his position in the seat was uncomfortable. Joshua had just spent the last fifteen minutes in full-scale tantrum. He didn't want Ducky, he didn't want a story, he didn't want to look out the window. Eventually the get-out-the-blanket-and-hold-him-tight tactic had worked, and now the toddler was asleep, and the hum of the engine could finally be heard again.

"Sorry about that, folks," he said.

"Don't worry about it," Jeff said with a smile.

Dianne nodded.

"We both know what it's like," she said, and turned back to give him a wink.

"Every road trip I ever took the boys on, someone always had a problem," Jeff said, and chuckled. "Boredom, feeling squashed, starting to fight... Ugh. That's something I wouldn't like to do again."

"At least I'm lucky in the sense I only have one," Dom said. "Though to be honest, I'd love more."

Dianne chuckled.

"Feeling broody?" She joked, drawing a lopsided grin on Dom's face, but he said nothing.

By the time Jeff was requesting permission to land, Joshua was awake again, but in slightly better temper. When Dom hopped off the plane, just standing up felt wonderful. Before they parted, Dominic called his two companions.

"Thanks for this," he said, waving a hand in a futile effort to convey the wonder at being able to see. "It's...amazing. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks."

Jeff reached forward to pat his arm.

"Enjoy the world," he said.
