Laugher filled the home as two children had chased after each other. The pitter patter of feet had fallen across the floor as the two had continued to fill the empty air with there joy. Bringing about a warm feeling into the woman's chest as she had leaned against the table slightly. After a particularly bad spout out from their father the trio had gone into hiding.
While the man who had once been apart of there home was finding them. Dealing with the last issue that got too close for his comfort. The small knock on the door had the woman standing up while the duo had both stopped there laughter. Eyes now moved to the door as the woman pulled the door opened.
She opened the apartment door to hundred of roses. She knew they where from him; he had found them. A soft smile spread across the woman's face as she had accepted the dark red colored flowers. The small had drafted through the apartment building as the kids had known what they had meant. They would be going home soon.
"Well looks like we'll be back home soon enough." Bradli spoke as the twins had found themselves latched to the sides of her legs. Smiles that had brought her breath away. I'm so many ways that had shared traits to him. Features that would be recognized for years.
"Will he be there?" The girl spoke softly, her words still hardly sounded fully formed. She had struggled to keep up quickly with her speech. Trying to talk as quickly as she could.
"Well I would hope so, he had been every time before." Bradli's spoke as she kneeled down, accepting both of her children into a hug. She knew from the beginning things would be dangerous with him. However he never let her get far with out knowing. He always knew how to find his way back to her. She knew this every time he sent her into hiding to avoid any harm to actually come to them.
"Now how about you both go pack back up the bags. I'm sure your father will be here tomorrow morning to get us all." She whispered to the duo as they had set off for the shared room they had found comfort in for the past few nights. She had smiled slightly as her eyes had moved back to the roses. He would always find her.

Astrid struggled a moment, she was too young to be being this rushed into packing. Her bag hung off her shoulder the weight of it nearly dragging her down. However Bradli knew this was her moment to escape. She took in a deep breath as she had buckled her daughter into the car.
"Mommy what about Atlas, dad always makes sure all three of us get out." Astrid spoke from the back seat. Bradli turned the mirror hardly as she looked back. She had taken in a deep and shaky breath. She knew if she didn't leave now she would never leave.
He would waltz into the house and once again she would find herself falling in love all over again. She would find herself forgiving him once more and forgetting everything he had ever done.
"He's going to be with your dad this time. I promise you baby he'll find us. One day those red roses will show up again." Bradli states as she had looked ahead. She faltered she caught her self almost finding it too hard to drive. She could feel the tears slowly swelling up in her eyes. She had to softly choke back the sob that wanted to escape.
There wouldn't be any turning back now, she would betray him. In a way she never thought she would ever be able to do. Her eyes looked back to the child in the back seat. Her eyes looked back at her similar to her fathers. Captivating and mesmerizing. Bradli had now realized what she needed to do, she had to leave. For her daughters future now, leaving behind one of the babies she swore to always protect.
"Please forgive me one day Atlas." Bradli muttered to herself as she had attempted to suck up the tears that began there cascade down her face. She had driven all night long not stopping as the frustration had continued to eat away at her. She could turn back now and apologize to him. He'd forgive her, he always did.
