[The Evans Hayward Family]
Lucius arrived at Hesperia's international airport. At the arrivals area, Frederick and Camille were waiting for him. They recognized him instantly—he looked just like a younger version of Maximus.
"Lucius Evans?" Frederick asked respectfully.
"Yes…" Lucius replied, a bit uncertain.
"How was your flight?" Camille asked, noticing he was carrying his daughter in his arms, completely asleep.
"Amanda behaved well for most of the flight… Angela warned me and packed plenty of supplies for the long trip."
"That's great! Welcome to Hesperia! We'll take you to your new home. Serenity asked us to take you and help with whatever you might need while she's away."
"She left?"
"Yes, well, they went to Coravela for something personal, but they'll be back by Monday or Tuesday," Camille explained, updating him.
"Alright… Let's go, then."
"Is that the only luggage you brought?" Frederick asked, grabbing the suitcase to load into the car.
"Oh, yeah. I usually travel light, and this time's no different," Lucius said confidently.
"Hmm… You'll probably need some things for the baby…" Camille said, surprised.
"Most of her things are in this bag… I'll go buy whatever else we need later."
"Okay, let's go. It should take us about 45 minutes," Frederick said calmly.
"Alright."
"Mind if I hold your baby?" Camille asked gently.
