Ben's POV
This past week has been hard, My mum seems to be affected most of my father's passing and she always is telling me that she is dreading the day that I leave to go back home and how alone she is in London, I feel terrible but I have Caity and the Kids back home and I can't stay a long time. I had to leave her even though it was going to be hard.
Caitlyn's POV
"Come on Kids! Dad should be home in less than 5 minutes" I Yell causing 9 loud feet running down the stairs
"Did you all brush your teeth?" I asked and the kids all nodded
"Did you make a welcome back card for Daddy?" they all nodded again
"Did you all clean up the toys that I told you to clean up 20 minutes ago?" They all shook their heads
"Ok, You Can't see daddy then?" I Said crossing my hands, while they all whined
Before I could quickly go and help the kids clean up the toys Ben Walks through the door. He Puts the Luggage on the Floor and take's his sunglasses off
"Hello! I'm Home"
"Daddy!" The scream in unison while running to him
"Hello! I missed you all so much" He said going on his knees and giving them all hugs and kisses
"Guess what?"
"What?" They all said
"I brought you all presents!" he says causing the kids to scream and
"If you want your want your presents go to the living room and sit on the couch," I say and they all run to the living room
Ben and I meet eye contact for a minute before I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug
"I missed you," I say
"I missed you to Princess"
I Cupped his face and gave him a kiss
"I missed that too," He said
"How are you?" I asked him
"Could be better... But I'm happy I'm home"
"I'm so happy your home," I said giving him another kiss
"Shall we go give our screaming children their presents?" He suggests
"Yes It should shut them up for a while," I said making Ben and I both laugh
He takes his suitcase in one hand and grabs my hand in the other and we go to the living room
