Shailene's POV

I finish strapping Flora into her car seat before shutting the door and walking into the drivers side. I plop down into the seat. I look into the back seat at my 3 children. My twins, Ava and Zach and my youngest Flora. The twins are playing some kind of game and Flora is just daydreaming.

I am exhausted. Theo has been away for 2 months, he's been filming a new movie that had to be filmed in South Africa. It had to be filmed there because it is a movie about the Afghanistan war and they needed the the landscapes there. It's extremely hard looking after 4 year old twins and a 5 month old baby at the same time.

But today I will finally get some sort of break, Theo is coming home and I couldn't be more grateful. Luckily the twins had started Nursery one month ago, which I was very thankful for.

I start the ignition of the car and reverse out of the car. I sigh and turn up the radio in an attempt to sound out the kids fighting.

I'm very excited for Theo to come home as well as being grateful. I can't wait to be in his embrace again and the thought brings a smile to my face.

After around 30 Minutes we arrive at Heathrow. Yes, Heathrow. We moved to London a couple of weeks before Theo left for his movie. I love it here that's why we decided to move and we live very close to Theo's parents which is great for the kids.

They helped me sometimes while he was away but I didn't want to be too much of a pain.

I got out the car once it was parked and opened the door for the twins before unclicking Flo from her car seat.

I go around to the boot and take out Floras pram and then put her in it. I tell the twins to hold on to the pram before pushing it into the terminal.

We get to the doors where Theo will come through and notice that Zach isn't as cheery as I thought he would be. Ava is just about jumping off the walls.

I take Flora out the pram and rest her on my waist. As soon as she is rested on my waist I see a familiar face in the crowd. I feel a grin grow on my face as he approaches, his smile mirroring mine.

As soon as he gets 5 feet away Ava runs into his arms and he kisses her on her cheek multiple times. To my shock Zach just stands by my feet and doesn't go to Theo. After Theo is done with Ava he walks towards Zach who brushes him off, I can see the hurt in Theo's eyes.

Theo stands up straight still holding Ava and walks over to me and Flora. He kisses Flo on the forehead before pecking me on the lips and then embracing me so we were having a family hug.

Theo pecks me on the lips once again before pulling out of the embrace.

"I missed you love." Theo whispered to me. "I missed all of you."

"I missed you too Theo, more than you can imagine."

"Shai? Why is Zach ignoring me?"

I sigh as I bend down to put Flo in the pram. "I have no idea, he was fine in the car."

Theo frowned but then turned away and started to talk to Ava, asking her about school and what he had missed. She happily replied but whenever Theo tried to talk to Zach he ignored him.

We soon got towards to the car and just as we were getting there. Theo finally asked "Zach why are you mad at me?"

Zach sighed grumpily and then replied "You made Mummy cry."

I froze at his words and looked away from Theo not wanting to meet his eyes. She heard his reply "What do you mean I made Mummy cry?"

I opened the door to the car and placed Flora in her car seat. I shut the door as the twins climbed in the other side and I went to the driver seat. I watched as Theo got in the front seat and then I started the ignition.

Then Theo once again said "What do you mean I made Mummy cry?"

I gripped the steering wheel guiltily as Zach replied "A week or two after you left I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. When I walked past the door I saw Mummy crying on the bed and she just kept saying your name."

"Oh right Zach I'm sorry for making Mummy cry and I promise I won't make Mummy cry ever again."

A smile grew on Zach's face and he obviously perked up. Throughout the whole car journey I stayed silent, I just liked to listen to the conversation between my kids and my Husband.

When we arrived at the house it was nap time so Theo took the twins in to bed and I took Flo. Just as I put Flo down I felt arms wrap around my waist.

"I missed you." He whispered in my ear. I turned around and brushed my lips against his. I pulled away and then gestured to sleeping baby Flora then the door, he seemed to get what I meant and then he grabbed my hand and walked out to the living room with me.

He sat down on the sofa and I sat beside him snuggling my face into his shoulder.

"Shai? Why were you crying?" He asked with concern.

I sighed as I knew he was going to ask and then when I told him the answer he was going to feel guilty.

"It was the Tuesday night after you had gone, and Flora had been sleeping terribly every night. First she would get up at 12, then 3 then 5 and then the twins would get up at 7. It was fucking insane. That night I had just had enough, I missed you my boobs hurt from breast feeding the baby and I was above all exhausted."

Throughout my little speech Theo had started rubbing circles on my back which was very sweet. "I'm sorry Shai."

"Theo! I knew you were going to apologize. There's no need! You are the one that's making the money, so do what you need to do to make movies."

"Ah I missed you Shai, I love you."

"I missed you too Theodore and I love you too." I snuggled into him after giving him a quick peck on the lips and before I knew it I fell into a peaceful slumber.
