**7 Days Later**
Ross

I slowly walk up to my house, well the one where my husband and kids live. Taking small steps once I reach the door, I ring the bell. I can't believe I fucked up so bad I have to ring my own houses doorbell.
I wait patiently for someone to answer the door, I haven't seen my kids or Riker in about a week.
The door opens and there stands my daughter that I missed so much.
"Layla." I say and she looks up at me with tears in her eyes. Mine start forming some also.
"Dad."
"Layla I've missed you so much!" I say and pick her up into my arms. "I love you Layla."
"I love you to dad." She says.
"Let's go inside. It's cold out. I don't want you to get sick." I say and carry her inside towards the kitchen.
We reach the kitchen and right there I see the love of my life cleaning up what looks like a mess of food from Luka.
"Layla who was at the door?" Riker asks and looks up from the mess.
"Ross what are you doing here?"
"I-I just c-came to see the k-kids." I say stuttering because of the tone of his voice.
"Oh." He says and looks down.
"Riker can we please talk." I ask looking at him but he doesn't look at me.
"I don't think there's anything to talk about."
"Yes there is Riker and you know it!"
"Your damn right I know it! My husbands a cheating bastard! You know what I did this morning?" He asks looking up at me with a frustrated and angry look on his face. "I signed for a divorce."
"Y-y-you w-w-what?" I ask almost in tears. Scratch that I was in tears.
"Dad why would you do that? How could you be so stupid? You just made everything 10 times worse!" Layla says to Riker and he looks down.
"We.. Don't even... Talk..." I say starting to sob.
"There's nothing to talk about Ross. Please get your stuff and get out."
I rest my head on Layla's shoulder as her heads in my neck. I try to control my sobs but it doesn't work.
"I... love you....baby girl... Don't... Ever f-forget... Me." I say as best as my scratchy voice can.
"No daddy please don't go!" Layla says and clings to me more.
"I have to."
"No! P-please." She sobs.
I come to my senses and wipe my tears away from my eyes and pull Layla back so she's looking into my eyes.
"Listen baby girl, I'll always be around, I'm right at grandma and grandpas." I say and give her a sly smile. "This is what your father wants. I'm not going to make him miserable and make yours and Lukas life hell."
"But without you here mine and Lukas life is hell!" She says a little to loud.
"Shhh. It's okay. I wanna stay but I've messed up Layla. I've tried and I'm going to keep trying to get your father to let me stay." I say knowing Riker is right there still slowly picking up the mess.
"Please don't give up on us. He needs you and me and Luka need you."
"Shhh. It's okay. I'm gonna go say goodbye to Luka and grab my things. I'll be back in a bit." I say and set her down at the counter near Riker.
I slowly walk upstairs and into Lukas room. He's in his play pen playing with a ball.
"Hey buddy. Daddy's missed you." I say and pick him up into my arms.
"Dada!" He says so happy.
"Yes buddy it's me, Dada." I say and he grabs my nose and laughs. It makes me smile.
I take my finger and rub his cheek lightly.
"I'm gonna miss you Luka. I'll come visit you I promise. I'm gonna be part of your life." I say and kiss his forehead. "Daddy's gotta go now. I love you. Bye buddy." I say and set him back down in the crib type thing.
"Dada!" He says and reaches out of me.
"I can't Luka." I say and walk towards the door.
"Dada! Dada!" He screams so loud. I walk out of the room and into what was mine and Riker's room. Luka still screaming his head off.
I grab a piece of paper and pen while I sit at the desk. I start writing a letter to Riker saying how I was sorry and that I still love him like I did from day one.
"Luka! Luka breath!" I hear Riker yell with that kind of voice that had scared in it. "Come on breath!..... Ross!!"
I run into Lukas room and see a bright red faced Luka in Rikers arms.
"Ross he's not breathing!" Riker says flipping out.
"Let me see him." I say and he hands me Luka.
"Come on buddy. It's alright daddy's got you." I say and he soon takes in deep breaths of air. "There you go little guy." I say as he's crying.
He soon calms down by hearing my voice.
"Dada!" He says so happy. He doesn't even look like he was crying just a few moments ago.
"Daddy's here." I say and kiss his forehead. "I'll see you later bud." I say and set him back into Riker's arms. "Here. I'll see you later I guess. I'll see the kids tomorrow."
Luka starts crying as I walk to the door is the bedroom. I turn around and see riker trying to calm a screaming Luka in his arms down.
"Ross." Riker says and I spin around to look at him.
"Yeah?"
"Can you put Luka to bed?"
"Of course." I say losing all hopes of him wanting me to stay.
I hold Luka in my arms and sucks on his binky. His eyes soon close and he's soon fast asleep. I gently set him in his little race car crib and then back around.
"Bye I guess." I say and look at Riker who's in the doorway.
"Goodbye." He says like it doesn't even faze him.
"It doesn't even bother you, does it?"
"Does what?"
"Me leaving." I say and again hold the tears in. "You don't give a rats ass about me!"
"I never said that did I?"
"You didn't have to! I'm not that dumb Riker.-"
"Dumb enough to cheat on me." He mumbles under his breath.
"You're kicking me out, filling for divorce, and taking away my kids from me! You didn't have to say it you just showed it to me!" I say walking past him and down the stairs. I see Layla on the couch but she jumps up once she hears us.
"You think you leaving doesn't affect me any? Well you got it all wrong dumb fuck! I love you with all my heart."
"Then why are you kicking him out?" Layla asks.
"He cheated on me" Riker says to Layla. "Every time I see you Ross I see you and Jake in our bed sucking each others faces off. It hurts to much to think about it. If you aren't here I won't think about it as much. But seeing you makes it 100 times worse."
"I understand that but look at all of the trouble I caused. I know what I've done and I intend to fix it, just for you and the kids. Not for jake not for anyone but you! This week has been hell not being able to hold you, kiss you, or even touch you Riker. How many time do I have to say in sorry for you to at least forgive me and let me come home?"
"I-I don't know Ross."
"How do you not know? See you don't even care! You don't even want me here!"
"Stop it right now Ross! That's not true so stop saying it! Please! I love you." He says and presses his lips onto mine. I immediately kiss back, I haven't kissed him in a week.
"Please let me come home?" I ask with pleading eyes.
