(Lucas's POV Ten years later.)

I was sitting in the bright sun watching these three kids playing in the sand. It wasn't to warm out but it was still early. I checked my watch again for the hundredth time. It was one of those days that seemed like every minute felt like an hour.

"Nina, Jayson, Jakob come on it's time to get going." I said to my three kids. Nina is going on six and the twins Jay and Jake are four. We adopted them about two years ago after fostering them for two. 

"Do you think dad is done?" Nina asked.

"He better be. It has been a long day and I am so ready to be home." I said smiling at her.

"I like it here." She said looking back over the ocean.

"Your dad and I have came back here every year since we started dating." I said smiling at the old hotel we had stayed at every time we came.

"Daddy, not want to go." Jay said pouting.

"Don't you want to see your new home? Don't you want to see dad? Papa Jim is here with Uncle Landon, Aunt Lacey and all of them." I said standing up.

"I liked our old home." Jake said. He was mad we were moving I just hope he liked the new house.

"Come on let's go if you don't like it you can tell your dad all about it." I said picking up the towels and holding hands of two of my kids as we made our way back to the car.

"Did dad get to ride in a big plane down here?" Jay asked as I buckled them in.

"Nope he drove down with all of our stuff." I said making them giggle.

"Ha ha we got to ride in a plane and dad didn't." Jake said laughing his little butt off. If he only knew how many plane rides we have taken down here.

"How far away is the new house?" Nina asked.

"Not far I promise. Are any of you hungry?" I asked turning on to the highway.

"Nope, I want to see dad." Jake whined. Nap time is so coming soon. Why did I have to book our flights so early? Oh because I missed my husband that's why. One week we have been separated one week. You would think that it had been years by the way my heart felt.

I drove for the next twenty minutes until I found the place I had been dreaming about for years now. Holden and I had started dreaming about our dream home when we started college. It took all four years to get it right and another four years to make it a reality. But we took two years off to enjoy our honeymoon, become parents and start our careers. Holden and Landon started their dream business and after I built this website ten times better then facebook I sold it for a lot of money now I am working on kids websites from home.

"Where here." I said pulling up to a gate. I punched in the numbers and it slowly opened.

"Wow is this our new home?" Nina asked.

"Yep, this is what has kept dad away for so long. And now that it is finished we will all be staying together forever." I said pulling up to the front of the house. Holden came running out. I jumped out of the car and ran to him. We kissed a searing kiss before letting the monkeys out of their cage.

"Dad" all three of them yelled before jumping on him. 

"Hey guys, I have missed you all so much. Welcome home." He said smiling and kissing each of the kids.

"I want to go inside." Jay yelled. 

"Well what are we waiting for?" He asked taking my hand and leading me and the kids into the house. We had found land about twenty miles from the beach that we built our own little subdivision on. Every body lived here now we just happened to be the last to move in. Our house was also the biggest. Not because we were trying to out do everyone it's just when your planning something for four years it tends to get kind of big.
