Yours truly - Its been 4 years since Ellie and Adam had Delilah. Life has been a fairytale for them...until someone from the past come back to ruin it all!
She woke to find his side of the bed empty, replaying last night events she groaned, not quite believing how much she acted like a brat. He was right, maybe we should talk to the doctor first. She started hearing the kids stir.
On her way to the kitchen, she looked into the garden he wasn't there. The kitchen was empty too. She sent him a quick text before the kids came bowling down the hall and into the kitchen.

"Mummy, what's for breakfast?" Charlie says as he climbs onto the bar stool "Can I have Vegamite on toast again?!" Delilah asked her.
"Sure! Charlie bear what would you like?"
"Eggs and soldiers, please! Mummy, is Daddy still in bed?" he looks up at her.
"No, he went out for a walk, Bubs. He should be back soon!" She checks her phone, but he hasn't replied.
A little later...
Ellie decided to take the kids on a little wander round the city. "Let's see if we can get a few things for dinner. What do you two want to make?"
"Spaghetti and meatballs!" Charlie quickly answered her. "Yeah, can we make that. Can we?" Delilah chimes.
Smiling at the pair she ushers them into the supermarkets they found. She checks her phone again, still nothing.
As they buy what they need for dinner her phone rings hoping it was Adam, she stops at the end of an aisle to answer "Hello? Adam?!" She answers "Hi, sorry! No, sorry its Joanna! I was just wondering where you are? We were supposed to meet for coffee today."
She completely forgot "Oh, Jo! I'm sorry...erm, Adam whisked me and the kids away on a last minute holiday and I completely forgot!"
She hears Joanna laugh at the other end "Lucky cow! Can you gethim to train James?" She jokes "I'll let you enjoy your holiday, text me when you get back!"
"Will do! See you soon!" She put away her phone and continued their shopping trip.
They arrive back at the apartment late afternoon "Daddy!" Both the kids squeal as they walk through the door, looking up Ellie notices him sat on the sofa she averts her eyes before they meet his. "Hey you two! What have you been up to?" He asks as Ellie walks past with the groceries making her way towards the kitchen.
"We went to the shops to get the ingredients to make spaghetti and meatballs. Where have you been Daddy?" She hears Delilah ask. "Just for a walk, I had a few phone calls to make." He tells the kids.
The kids wander into the kitchen with Adam "You alright?" He asks her as she's putting away the shopping "Yeah, you ok?" She smiles at him, this was one of the things he loved about her even when they had little arguments she would always protect the kids from it by pretending everything was ok.
