"Mum!"

"Dad!"

"Wake up!"

A soft but firm voice kept screaming, matching the knocks vibrating on the door. Loney woke unexpectedly, followed by Danica as the sound grew louder. They didn't have to guess who it was. They slipped into their robe and picked their scattered clothes on the floor, dropping them into a laundry basket before Loney headed to the door.

His eyes glistened with tears as he eagerly unlocked the door. Two small hands wrapped around his legs tightly. "Dad! You are back!"

Loney knelt to meet his form, pulling him into his arms. The last time he held his son was five years ago when he was just a month old. He had grown. It felt good seeing him physically and not through video calls. He had his mother's brunette hair but his father's facial features. Same grey eyes and thin lips.

"I missed you, Lord."

"I missed you too, Dad. Will you leave again? I don't want you to go. All the kids at school have their dads come to drop and pick them. They help them with sports too." The young man rattled. Only if he knew how his innocent words inflamed his father's guilt.

"I'm not leaving again son, I will help you with everything and even more."

"Forgot your mum so soon?" Danica couldn't help being pushed out of the happy moment.

"Mum! Come and see. I have a surprise for Daddy." The little man went to hug his mum, dragging her from the bed.

They followed him, casting lustful glances at each other when he wasn't watching. He led them to the dining room, pulling chairs for them. Loney watched in awe, his eyes glassy with tears as his son ran off to the kitchen and brought out a large cake that made him stumble and almost fall if Loney hadn't reached him in time to help. Then his eyes caught the writing, 'Welcome Home Dad!'

"How did you know I'll be here?"

"Uncle Jones told me. He also said you-"

"I think you should save the rest for later, don't you think?" Loney winked.

The little man, as smart as his dad, understood quite perfectly. "Of course." He made a sign, showing his lips were sealed.
