Some days Carol doesn't know what to do. Readjusting has been hard. Some days she wonders if she still belongs here or if she's just the shell of the person she once was. Is earth still her home or does she belong among the stars?
But then she walks inside. She sees Maria and Monica and everything starts to make sense again. This is the woman she loves. This is their kid. And if Carol is a little odder than before, a little twitchier, and quicker to drink an entire bottle of booze… then that's okay. At least she's home.
