Chapter 117
Jesse stood at the security point searching the crowd. She was having trouble seeing until the crowd parted and she heard her.
"JESSE!" squealed the young blonde as she pushed her way to where Jesse waited.
Jesse smiled and waved to Ava.
Launching herself into Jesse's arms, "I can't believe I'm FINALLY here!"
Hugging her, Jesse said, "I'm glad you're here! Do you need to let your mother know you made it here?"
"Yes ma'am, but I can wait until we're in the car."
"Bags?"
"Just one."
"Let's go get it and get out of here."
As the two headed to baggage claim, Ava asked, "Where's Tony?"
"With your dad in London."
"Don't you need security to keep the reporters or fans away?"
"Not here. That's the beauty of living here in Virginia...no one expects your dad's girlfriend to be here. Plus, there really aren't a lot of pictures out there of me."
"You and Daddy have been in the entertainment news in LA A LOT...especially after your last trip out there."
"Really?"
"Uh huh! Mama sent the articles with me for you and Daddy."
The two continued to talk as they went to baggage claim and then out to the car.
At the car, Ava asked "Do we have anything to do for the wedding?"
"My friends are having a bridal shower for me Friday night."
"I got the invitation and Mama sent a gift with me."
"Cool. When we get to London, we will have TONS to do." Jesse opened the door for Ava as she said, "Go on and call your mom so she....."
Ava's phone rang and she quickly answered, "Hey, Daddy.....the flight was good....I was just about to call her." Ava moved the phone away to ask, "What are we going to do now?"
"Tell him we're getting ready to go to a strip joint where we're going to do tequilla shots and a couple lines of coke."
Ava giggled and repeated what Jesse said. Jesse could hear Richie's reaction and a second later, Ava handed her the phone. "Daddy wants to talk to you."
Taking the phone, Jesse said, "Hey, sweetheart....for Christ's sake, Richie, I was just joking and WHY do you think I'm pregnant?...are you sure?....we're headed home but we may stop for dinner....I love you too, Richie."
Ava took the phone back. "Daddy....I will...yes sir...I love you too....see you Monday." Turning her phone off, she said, "WOW! What crossed Daddy?"
"Me, but don't worry abut it."
"Are you pregnant?"
"I haven't told your dad but yes, I am."
"When are you going to tell him?"
"When I get to London. I want to see his face."
"Cool! Are you going to find out what it is?"
"I doubt it. How about we stop for dinner? Your dad's treat."
"Sounds good," smirked the young girl looking very much like her dad.
