IN THIS POV - TOM HOLLAND IS PART OF THE RAF AND WAS DEPLOYED FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS!! Ik this is very random...😅

Tom was flying home today, finally back to his wife, y/n and his daughters, Charlotte and Veronica. The kids were at school so he was going there to surprise them and then see y/n afterwards. He had just landed and was doing the usual, baggage claim, getting a cab...the old boring crap. He really just wanted to see his daughters and not seeing them for nearly two years. Charlotte and Veronica were twins so it was a lot easier for Tom to surprise them. As he hasn't seen them since they were both 12 and 13, he had no idea what had been going on with everything. He was walking through the secondary school and teachers were greeting him, shaking his hand, thanking him for his service and asking what he was doing here. He had spoken with the head mistress previously and everything was set up and he could take them home early. Tom had made sure he came at the perfect time when they had the same class together.

He quietly opened the door and as the girls were sitting facing away from the door in their own little conversation, they hadn't noticed their dad had walked in. He waved at the students who had noticed and shushed them. He leant on their chairs and looked at the work they were doing, they had done nothing.
"Your mum's gonna kill you both when she finds out you're not focusing on your school work." He says loud enough for them to hear. They turn around and their jaws drop to the floor. The both get up and collapse into a massive group hug.
"DAD!" They screeched, students in the background started to cheer and whistle. Along with the teacher as well who was clapping. Tom looked at his girls and saw how much they had grown up since he had left.
"I've missed you two nut jobs." He says in the hug, squeezing them a bit tighter.
"Does mum know you're here?" Veronica pops up and asks. Tom just shakes his head.
"She's gonna fucking freak!" Charlotte shouts. Tom flicks her ear and scolds her for foul language.
"She doesn't know and you're not going to tell her. I have a surprise for tonight." Tom starts, making the girls excited. "Oh and you're both staying and Nanny Nicki's tonight! I wanted to surprise your uncles and grandparents as well."
"That's fine. Gives you and mum some time together." Veronica giggles. They all walk out the classroom, Tom in the middle and the two girls either side of him, linking arms. They were asking a million questions about what happened while he was away. He told them not everything because he didn't want to scar them but Tom did get a bit detailed and they asked him to stop.
"If your mum asks why you're home early, say it's a half day because of Voting Day." Tom giggles.
"I refuse to say that." Charlotte sasses and gets out the car. "I'll think of something!" She shouts before slamming the door.
"It's good to have you back dad, Charlotte's right though about mum going mental. All she does is talk about you." Veronica says before getting out the car.

That made Tom feel amazing. He drove off with a massive smile on his face before he pulled over to text Veronica. It read - "Make sure to get mum out the house for a little while tonight! Gotta set up the surprise at home!"
He sent it and went to his mum and dad's house. He pulled out in front of the house and admired it. 'Still the same old house.' He thought to himself. He braced himself and knocked on the door. When it was open, it revealed a very surprised Harry and Sam.
"Tom! Oh my god!" Harry shouted before pulling him into a tight embrace, followed by Sam a few seconds later.
"Boys! Who's at the....Oh my goodness, Tommy!!!" Nikki shouts before pulling the boys away and taking her oldest son for herself.
"You're finally home!" She squeezed him. Dom and Paddy heard all the racket and joined in on the Holland Group Hug. They were all huddled on the floor for a few minutes, Nikki and Dom crying a little before all getting up and going inside for a cup of tea.
"Does y/n know you're back." Paddy asks.
"Nope. Nothing. I have a big surprise for her tonight. Which reminds me, mum? Can you have the girls tonight?" Tom asks, sipping his hot tea.
"Of course darling, I love having them over. We always have such a fun time!" Nikki exclaims excitedly. Everyone has a nice conversation for about an hour until Tom gets a text from Veronica - 'Mum's out the house. You have over an hour to set everything up. Don't mess it up x💕'
Tom rolls his eyes at his daughter's doubt in him and begins to get ready to head off.
"I'll see you all later then?" Tom shouts, grabbing all their attention. Everyone says goodbye to him and gives him one last hug and he heads home to set everything up.

While he's driving, his mind wonders a little. It goes to the phone call he had with y/n a few months after he first got deployed.

"I miss you baby. And so do the girls. They wear your army hat to school sometimes." y/n giggles while sniffling. I knew she was crying and hated how I couldn't be there for her.
"Don't cry babe. I'll be home before you know it. And I'll get you an army hat that hasn't been stolen by one of the nut jobs." I chuckle and hears y/n laugh a little too.
"Is that dad?" I heard Veronica whisper to her mother.
"Yeah, you wanna talk to him?" She asks with sweetness in her voice. I'm guessing she said yes because a few seconds later, I heard my daughter's voice in the phone.
"Hi dad!" Veronica greets very loudly, making me smile. She was always very loud.
"Hi sweetheart. How are you?" I ask.
"I'm really good even though I miss you soooo much! So does Charlotte but she's not here right now." Sadness hit her voice when she mentioned the absence of her sister. My smile drops slightly.
"That's ok hun, will you tell her I called and that I love her?"
"Of course I will daddy! I'll do anything for you. You wanna talk to mum?"
"Yes please sweetheart, I love you, ok? I'll see you soon!"
"See you soon dad! I love you more than the amount of power Wanda has from the Avengers!" I laugh at her comment of Tom's previous acting career.
"Hey darling." I hear y/n's sweet gentle voice once again.
"Hi baby." I greet her back. I hear her sigh through the phone sadly.
"What's wrong, love?"
"I just want you here. Right here, right now. I just wanna wake up with you next to me and not the pillows." I can tell she's pouting as I can hear it in her voice.
"I know baby but I'll be home soon, I promise!"
"Promise promise?"
"Promise promise. Now I gotta go..."
I hear her groan in slight annoyance but accept it.
"Ok hun, I love you so much. Don't ever forget that!" She shouts down the phone.
"I love you so much more!" I makes it sound so overdramatic but it wasn't, I really did love her with all of my heart. I hesitantly hang up the phone and feel tears drop down my face.

He snaps back into reality while parking the car outside the house. He looks it over while getting out the car and walking down the path to the front door. Tom unlocks the door and walks into the house and immediately tearing up at the sight of his home. Nothing had changed since he had left and that why he was crying. He went straight to his bedroom and saw pictures of his and y/n, him and the kids and many of them altogether. Tom blinks hard to rid of the tears stuck in his eyes. He grabbed his bag and shoved it in the closet and took out the three bouquets of flowers he had bought for his wife and daughters and three more for the surprise. He played around with the lights until he found the perfect lighting, he also spread rose petals from the front door to their shared bedroom. He got a text from Charlotte - 'We're 5 mins away! Hope everything is done😅'
He quickly wraps the gift he got for y/n and placed it in the bedroom. Tom heard the door being unlocked so he ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed, putting a rose between his teeth and smiling.

y/n's POV
y/n walks into the house and sees rose petals everywhere and a candlelit dinner all set up in the kitchen. She can hear the girls giggling in excitement behind her and follows the trail to her bedroom.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked her daughters who were now filming the whole thing.
"Stop asking and open the bloody door, mother!" Charlotte shouted, too excited to wait any longer. y/n opened the door and saw Tom laying on the bed with a rose in between his teeth. She nearly collapses to the floor when she sees him. She screams and jumps on top of him, squeezing the death out of him.
"Oh my god, you're fucking home!" She squealed. Tom hugged her back almost immediately. The two twins also jumped on top of them, joining in the family moment.
"When did you come home?" She asked.
"This morning, picked the girls up from school early...went to see my parents and brothers...came home and set all this up. Been a busy day to say the least." Tom explained his day.
Everyone stayed in the room, all cuddling before the girls went and got ready to go to Nikki's.
"Are you home...permanently?" She whispers.
"Yeah. I am. Even if I do go back out, it won't be for more than a week." Tom says, happy he's finally home.
"That's good." She snuggled into his neck even deeper, not wanting to let go in case he disappeared. My Tommy's home...
