He stepped down from the plane, he breathed in, he was back at home,

"Come on boy, we are back in our country, I am tired and need my rest" his uncle said patting his back,

He nodded as they walked to the check out point, his Uncle watched his nephew, their trip had been a huge success, he was thankful to his nephew who was hardworking and made life easier for him, he knew that his nephew had been through a lot even at his young age but this boy reminded him so much of his late brother, his selfless and hardworking behavior struck him and so he decided to do all he could to make life easier for him, he smiled watching the man that he had become and how far he had come.

"I know you cannot wait to see your wife" his uncle said,

He laughed, "I do miss her yes and also my children" he said,

"I can't blame you, boy, it's been a whole year and a Man has got to release" his uncle teased,

"Come on, I didn't mean it like that" he said

"I know what you mean" his uncle said with a wink and the two started arguing but still all ended in laughs.

She dropped the baby that had refused to sleep on the bed, wondering who could be knocking by this time of night,

"Who is that?" She asked, no response

She opened the door and there he stood with a big smile on his face, in his hands were bags of gifts he had gotten and a big bouquet of flowers,

She stepped back, her hand covering her mouth in surprise, he stepped in, dropped all he was holding as he stretched his hands for an embrace,

She hugged him, she missed him, she cried tears of joy into his shirt,

"You are back, you are back, I can't believe this" she sniffled,

"I missed you so much" he hugged her, giving her a kiss on the head.

She looked up at him, into his eyes, this eyes that she hadn't seen in a while, he wiped away her tears, she leaned into him, savoring the taste of his lips, he pulled her closer, exploring her and instantly feeling his swell.

"Mummy" the voice of their little son startled them as they pulled away, he looked at his father and immediately ran to him.

"Daddy"

"My dear son" he replied, lifting him up as they embraced, she stood aside watching the reunion of a father and child,

"Hey champ, how are you? Did you miss me"

"Yes"

"I missed you as well" he continued, she went in and came out with the baby, he dropped Junior down as he sighted his little Angel,

"Hey, who is this pretty baby" he said, the baby giggled and his heart instantly melted for her, she smiled at him, trying to reach him, he took her in his arms, she grabbed his nose and giggled.

She was so pretty, she was his child, she was his daughter, she is his princess, he felt regret for leaving her and not being there when she came into the world but seeing her smile at him even though she had never seen him, she recognized that he was her Dad and he was not leaving her again.

"My princess" he called her, getting another giggle as she clung onto him,

He gestured for his wife and Son to come closer, he hugged them all and in this seemingly little embrace he felt bigger than life, this is his people, his family, his home and he promised to take care of them all and be the best he could be for them and he would make up for this lost year with them.

That Night after a hearty dinner, he followed her into the room, he grabbed her waist pushing onto her, he kissed her neck, down to her shoulders, his hands moved to her breasts, squeezing hard, she closed her eyes in ectasy,

She turned around to face him, they began kissing passionately and savagely, she pulled away but he pulled her back in,

"Come" she said, taking his hand and moving to the sitting room, she wanted him but she was not having sex where the children were sleeping.

Once they were there she kissed him again, quickly all the clothes were thrown away, leaving them heaving and laying on the couch,

He couldn't wait, so he went in, he missed this, he missed her, as the night went on, they were immersed in themselves, pleasuring passionately and intensely, it all felt right again.
