Arrivals - Beruani

"For security reasons, please keep an eye out for your baggage and…" 

Bertholdt softly sighed as he looked at the time on his cell phone. The time was 8:30 PM and Annie’s flight was an hour late. He nervously sat inside the airport’s arrival waiting room, looking at families reuniting with each other. Their faces were filled with smiles, tears resting on the brims of their eyes. They would hug, kiss, and greet in their own language before walking out of the airport together. Bertholdt felt the hand that he was holding tighten its grip. He looked to the person next to him and smiled softly at the cerulean colored eyes staring back at him.

"Is Mama gonna come home soon…?" The young boy yawned, swinging his legs back and forth as he squeezed his father’s hands.

"Yes, of course…" He ruffled his son’s short black hair causing the young boy to giggle. "Mama’s coming soon. It’s just her flight is late."

"Her fwlight…?" He asked as he began playing with Bertholdt’s hands, his eyes widening at how large his hands were. "Your hands are big and wet, papa!"

"Mama’s plane, I meant." He laughs. "My hands are wet because I’m nervous… I want to see Mama really badly."

"I wanna see Mama too and tell her all the things we did!" He hopped up and down in his chair excitedly, a bright smile showing off his missing front tooth. "Remember-remember—when-when we went to the zoo and-and there was this lion and it started fighting the other lion—and—and it was like rooooaaaaar!"

"Yes, Dominik, and there was that cute little cub in the corner that reminded me of you." Bertholdt grinned at the rosy red blush that stained his son’s cheeks. Dominik puffed up his cheeks and frown at his father.

"I’m not cute! I’m strong and powerful like Mr. Braun!"

"Are you sure…? You were crying for me when I was late to pick you up from school yesterday." Bertholdt started to laugh as his son’s blush grew darker. Dominik sighs and hugs himself, looking away from his father. As he looked away, he caught sight of a blonde woman carrying a suitcase and walking towards them. She had a soft smile on her face as she began waving at them. A smile creeps its way on his face as he recognized who it was. He jumped off his seat and dashed towards the woman. When Bertholdt caught sight of Dominik running away from him, he was about to call out to him until he noticed who he was running to. He stood up from his seat and his face flushed with pink as he stared at the woman embracing his son.

"Mama!" Dominik yelled as his mother picked him up and held him in her arms, Her suitcase fell to the ground and a loud noise erupted from it. The people around them flinched and turned their heads at the son and mother embracing, some of them aww-ing at the sight they saw, others continuing to search for their family members. "I missed you, mama…" The young boy mumbled under his breath as he hugged his mother around her neck, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Aww… I missed you too, Dom" She held him tighter, kissing the sobbing boy on his cheeks. Bertholdt smiled softly at the sight as he walked towards his family. He knew his son had missed his mother. Every day he would ask when she’s coming back. Every time he came back from school, he would show him a new "dwrawing" he drew for Mama. Some times when he sleeps with Bertholdt, he would hear his son mumbling in his sleep and he would be calling for his mother. Bertholdt thought of his son as a real mama’s boy and he couldn’t help but find his attachment to his mother so adorable.

"Annie." Bertholdt smiled at his wife as she looks up at him. It’s been three weeks since he last seen her and the blonde haired woman looked beautiful as ever to him.

"Bertholdt." She returned the smile and set her son down on the ground as soon as he calmed down. Bertholdt sighed a sigh of relieve as he approached his wife to embrace her, his arms wrapping around her shoulders and pulling her tightly to his chest.

"I missed you" He mumbled softly in her ear. She chuckled and returned the hug, gripping the back of Bertholdt’s coat.

"It’s only been three weeks but it seems that you’ve gotten taller…" She responded.

"Or maybe you just got shorter" He laughed and Annie frowned at him, punching him softly on his arm before pulling away. Dominik giggled at the interaction between his parents. He grabbed his mother’s hands and his father’s hands and pulled them towards the exit.

"Let’s go home, mama, papa!" He smiled at them, his cheeks flushed in pink.

"Yes, we should. I’m exhausted." Annie sighed as she brushes her hair away from her face. Bertholdt picked up Annie’s suitcase before their son can drag them away. They began to walk towards the exit of the airport, hand in hand with their son. Dominik was skipping and giggling, excited at the fact that his mother was back from her trip.

"Hey! Hey! Mama—" He happily called her,

"What is it, Dom?" She smiled down at her son.

"Well—Well, Papa and I! We went to the zoo—and—-and there was this lion…"

A/C: In all honestly, I just searched up random German names for boys and I came up with Dominik Fubar. Annie’s and Bertholdt’s last names are German so I figured they would name their child a German name lol. Hope you guys enjoyed it~ :3
