Watching Blake leave was a nightmare. The boys didn't understand that they couldn't go with him. Luckily Gwen had seen this as a possibility and had brought their animals Blake had bought them at the zoo. Those animals became their favorite things. Whenever they were upset or sleepy they had to have them. It looked like it was gonna be a long evening for both the boys and Gwen. Gwen had planned to take the boys out to dinner but considering their current state and her current mood, she decided it would probably be better just to have a dinner movie night at home.
...................................................................
That night putting the boys to bed was an even bigger nightmare. Both boys were yelling for Blake. "Dada!" Richie would cry and Jupiter would then cry "mama.....dada".
"I know boys you miss daddy. I know he misses you to but he isn't here for me to go get him."
"Dada" they both cried
Finally Gwen decided to try to FaceTime Blake so they could see him and tell him good night.
"What if we call daddy? Do you want to do that?"
Both boys nodded their heads. So Gwen pulled her phone from her pocket and hit the FaceTime button next to Blakes name. It rang a few times before his face popped up on the screen. Gwen was sitting on the floor with both boys in her lap so they could all see Blake. The way Blakes face lit up seeing them, made Gwen's heart melt.
"Boys!" Blake exclaims
"Dada!" They both yelled before they both started to cry reaching out to the phone wanting Blake to come hold them
"Aww buddies don't cry! You will be home with daddy soon. I'll make you guys a deal I'll read you a story but then you have to go to bed for mommy ok?"
Both boys nodded their head and Blake picked out a book and read to them. He staid on the phone with them while Gwen put each boy to bed. Both getting Goodnights and I love you's from their parents. As Gwen closed the last boys door, she and Blake both let out a sigh of relief. Gwen made her way to her room and sat down on her bed to talk to Blake.
"Im sorry I called but honestly thought I was never gonna get them to bed without you."
"Gwen you don't have to apologize for calling me! I'm glad you did. I miss them a lot." Blake said leaving out the part that surprised him. He missed Gwen.
"They lost it when you left at the airport. They were crying and trying to get out of the stroller. Thankfully I had brought their animals in so they at least got me out of the airport without everyone thinking I was kidnapping them." Gwen and Blake both laughed.
"It's really quiet here. I can't wait for these five days to be over. I'm really glad you guys are moving here Gwen."
"Yeah it's weird not having you here to help with the boys and I don't have my movie night partner."
"Well now we will have plenty of movie nights." Blake says before yawning
"I guess we both should get some sleep."
"Yeah. If you need me to help with the boys anytime while your there Gwen just call me. I don't care what I'm doing, I'll stop and answer. Those boys are more important than anything I could be doing."
"Ok thanks Blake. Good night."
"Night Gwen."
.......................................................................
The next five days fly by. Gwen's parents watch the boys durning the day while Gwen works to pack up the house. The boys talked to Blake every night before bed and sometimes during the day too. Seeing how much they miss him reminds her of just how good a father he is. The boys are sharing a seat as they head home to Oklahoma. When they got up that morning Gwen told them that they were going to see daddy and both boys were jumping, well the version of jumping when you can barely walk, yelling "see daddy, see daddy!". It was the cutest and Gwen took a video sending it to Blake. She had put on a movie on her iPad for the boys to watch so they were angels the whole flight. She also realized that once they got back, they had Saturday and Sunday to adjust and then Jupiter was having his tubes placed Monday. She was terrified. She was engrossed in thoughts of the looming Monday when she felt their decent begin and Richie started fussing and wanting to be in her lap. This was his least favorite part and Gwen doesn't blame him. Once they unload the plane Gwen takes both boys down to baggage claim in their stroller. When she sees Blake she stops and puts both boys down pointing Blake out to them. When they see him both boys take off running yelling "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!". They ran straight into his arms, holding onto him as if he was going to disappear.
