"Mommy?" I pushed Liam away when I heard my Son's voice. It's Luca. I hope he didn't see what Liam and I were doing. We both engrossed to each others lips and we didn't notice if there were other people around us. I really hope he didn't see us because tomorrow he will definitely ask what his father and I were doing.

I immediately approached him and knelt in front of him to match his height. He looks so scared, because his face is sweaty. I gently removed his fallen hair that blocked his face.

"Mommy, I had a bad dream." He said. He slowly put his arms around my neck. He even buried his face in my shoulder.

"It is just a bad dream baby, bad dream only. It wasn't true, it's just a dream. I'm here, I'm going to protect you." I said as I caressed his back.

"Mommy, you won't leave me right? You won't?" He asked. He tighten his hug so I did. I carry him and let him rest in my arms.

I  faced Liam. He was looking at us with joy in his eyes. As if he was happy with what he witnessed. He smiled not showing his teeth.

"I could really see myself to him." He smiled. I approached where he was while Luca was getting up. I feel that my son has fallen asleep so I gently rub his back to make him comfortable.

"You are his father right?" I smiled.

"I am." He answered simply. I was suddenly surprised when he stood up and hugged his son and me from behind.

"Liam."

"Let me hug you. I want to experience hugging my wife and son. I want them to feel that I'm here, as  husband and father. I want  to feel. I've been gone for a long time and I want to get it back all of that. I want to dedicate the rest of my time in this world to you. I want to father them, raised them and love them like you did. I want to be the one to teach them things they don't know yet. They are my kids, and I'm proud of it." I couldn't speak what he was saying. I was alarmed because I could feel the warmth of his body. I was only wearing thin clothes so I could feel the hardness of his body, the warmth it caused and the feeling of being hugged by one of the people who are important to you.

"They are our kids, they are. They are the result of my love for you Jennie. I want everyone to know that they are my children, that I already have a family. That I already have a child and two others, I want to know that you the mother of my children, who raised them during the times I was away because I was a jerk. I'm a jerk before, and I won't let that happen again. Because right now, I feel so complete, because of you and because of my kids." I felt my tears fall. I'm happy because I even deprived him of my children. He accepted me, he didn't get angry, he couldn't blame me for not meeting his children right away.

"You know what? I thought I'd never come back here, I thought I'd just come home here for nothing. And I never expected this. When I saw Louise, my world suddenly stopped. I can't explain what I feel

but I'm sure of only one thing. I felt so complete. Because I feel that he is from me, that he is mine, that he is my son. When I touch him, I feel so full. I feel so complete, but not yet. Because I saw Luca. That's where I became more enlightened, that's where I became more whole. I am happy, very happy because I have a child and the woman I still love. I admit, even if I don't have children, as long as I can be with you, it's fine. I will live, but when I saw them. I said to myself that no matter what happens, I will live." I couldn't stop myself from shedding tears that were about to fall.

"Jennie. Because you gave my name to them. You let them use my name and I am very happy. I am proud they are my little Manoban." He said.

"Liam...."

"Shhh, I just want you to listen to me, I'll fix everything Jennie." Then he hugged me and my son very tightly. He even buried his face in my neck. I just let it all go. I only heard the sound of crickets around me and the moon and twinkling stars were the witness to the three of us.
