You could barely contain your excitement as you waited at the airport. Then you saw him. He was still in uniform. His camo stood out in the huge crowd. He held out his arms and you ran straight into them.
"Your beautiful hair!" You exclaim, running your hands through his buzz cut. He chuckled. "It'll grow back." He dismissed the thought. "Five years, and just a hug?" He joked. You laughed as you swooped you down and kissed you passionately.
"Just wait until Avery and Jacob see the surprise we have!" You squealed, anticipating the looks on your little twin's faces. "It better be worth it. I'm staying in a hotel on my first night home."
*~*~*~*~*
"Were's our present!" The twins jumped up and down, clapping their hands. You led them to the living room, grabbing your camera. They squealed as they saw the gigantic box. "Pull the ribbon." You said, recording. Avery followed the instruction, and the box fell apart. "Daddy!" "Oh! Princess! Jacob!" He gave them a big hug. "Daddy, your hair!" Avery said, running her hand across his head, as you had done. "Like mother, like daughter." He chuckled.
