I'm sorry, I really wanted to have this updated on Monday, or Tuesday the lastest. But I so forgot that my mom's Birthday was on Tuesday so we kind of had dinner and what not. Than I wanted to update yesterday, but I was just too lazy.

Ezra's POV:

As the last couple of days flew by. Aria and I haven't shed two words to each other. Other than, it's dinner time. I thought she would have come around by now, but it's like talking to a brick wall. I have been sleeping in the guess bedroom, only going into our room when I needed clothes.

But today was different, when I had gotten up this morning. Aria and our kids were gone. Not so much as a note to where they went. I've called a couple of times, but like the past two days, Aria didn't answer... I groaned and tossed my phone onto the counter and picked up my coffee... It's a early Saturday morning, as over the last two years, I have spent the in my office. But I thought I would change that up a little, I thought this would get Aria to see that I am trying. But who am I showing it too? She's not here and neither are my kids.

A couple of hours later, I found myself watching old movies of our family. Aria's graduation, the birth of Danielle, Eric's birth. The first time Danielle called me dada... I sighed and shook my head a tears began to stream down my face. Eric's third birthday, where he had asked where I was, was filmed and I just felt like I was going to have a heart attack from this melt down... The look on my son's face, was nothing but pure heartbreak.

"Daddy" Danielle exclaimed and jumped into my lap "Your home"

I nodded and wiped my tears as I put the DVD on pause. "Where did you guys go?" I said in a cracking voice.

"Mommy took us out for breakfast, we didn't know if you were home or not. And then we went to the park. Grandma Ella, called and said she was a half hour away. So we came home" Danielle explained "Why were you crying?"

I shrugged and shook my head at the same time, as Aria and Eric came walking in. "I love you" I whispered and kissed her nose.

"What are you doing here?" Aria looked at me shocked as she placed her purse down on the ottoman.

"I told you, I wanted to make this work. I was waiting for you guys to come home." I smiled at my son as he sat next to me on the couch.

"Can we go back to the park Daddy?" Eric asked me, and I nodded.

"I don't see why not. Maybe grandma Ella, wants to come with us?"

"Yes" Danielle said and jumped off my lap "I'm going to get my bike"

"Me too" Eric ran from the living room and Aria sat down on the chair in front of me.

We sat there in silence with Aria, looking at me in disbelief. I could really see the look of disappointment in her eyes. She looked down at the ground before sitting back in the chair and bringing her legs and sitting Indian style.

"Can we go for a drive? Just the two of us?" I whispered.

"Why?" Aria asked and looked back at me. "What's the point?"

I sucked in a breath and looked toward the hallway to see if our children were coming back. "I just want to talk. Please Aria"

"Fine, after dinner." Aria stood up and went into the kitchen. I followed her a few moment's later.

I sat down next to the computer and watched as Aria, made a few sandwiches. Danielle and Eric came into the kitchen with smiles on their faces, already to head back to the park.

"Door bell" Danielle yelled and Aria, turned to giggle at her excitement. I stood up and followed Danielle and Eric to the door. When I had nodded at Danielle, she flung the door wide open. "Grandma"

"Hello my rug rats" Ella, squealed "I've missed you so much" She hugged them both and looked up at me "How are you Ezra, my daughter say's you've been working so hard."

I shook my head and walked out the door. It seem's Aria, talk's to everyone but me. I work to provide for my family, to put a roof over their heads. To make sure that they have food, clothing. Everything they ever waited... Except for the time to spend with their father.

"Ezra" I heard Aria, from behind me.

"When did everything go bad? When did you start to hate me so much?" I asked, not turning around to face her. I felt ashamed of myself, my children are young. These are the years that I would never get back and I would rather spend my time behind a desk. Pushing papers.

I heard Aria, sigh before she walked in front of me. "I don't hate you." She told me sincerely. "I am very much in love with you, that it kills me. I don't want to get a divorce, but your not here Anyways. So like I said before, what's the difference?"

I let a few tears drop from my eyes, before wiping them away. "Can we take that drive now? Please, I just want to spend some time with you" I pleaded and took hold of her hands. "I want to make this right."

Aria took in a few shaky breaths before nodding her head. "Let me go tell my mother."

"Alright" I said with hope in my voice. All Aria and I need to do right now is talk. Just talk.


Aria's POV:

My mother understood why I needed this moment with Ezra, so when I told her that we were going for a drive now instead of after dinner. She had agreed to take the kids to the park for a few hours.

Now Ezra and I where just driving around in circles, passing through traffic and loud noises of New York. When finally Ezra, pulled to the side and looked over at me. I continued to look out the window, but knew that his eyes were burning into the back of my head.

"Do you want me to quit?" He asked me and I looked at his with disbelief.

"I would never ask you to do that."

Ezra took my hands in his, and I looked down as he started to play with my fingers. "I don't want a divorce. And if you want me to quit, I will." He stated "I want to grow old with you, I want to spend time with you and our children." He started to cry again. And that just sent me over as I looked into his eyes and found nothing my honesty and heartbreak.

"Yeah, me too." It pained me to say this but, all I wanted was time. All I wanted Ezra to do was reduce some of his hours. Spend Sunday's with us, have dinner.

"So what do you say? Can we..." He trailed off and shook his head "Can we try this again?"

"I'm tired of lie's Ezra. Our children only stay young for so long, before you know it. They'll be out in the real world, not needing us anymore. Danielle, hold's back her tears and try's to stay strong. Eric is still young, but he know's what's going on." I stated and pulled a hand free to wipe my eye...

"You don't know how sorry I am for letting my job come first... But this is scary, the thought of you never at my side again. The thought of losing my children because I was being self fish. I can't do that anymore, please just give me one more chance? I am begging you Aria."

His sounds of plead filled the car. I can't take seeing a grown man cry. Especially Ezra, I saw him three time's. And that's when we said our vows, and when our children were born.

"Danielle, Eric and I are going to the flea market tomorrow. You want to come?" I gave him a tight smile.

"I would love too, just let me move some thing around okay?" He smiled back at me and I nodded. Then he brought his lips to mines' and gave me a hungry kiss. I pulled away few moments later and graced his cheek.

"Don't lie to us Ezra, all we want is you.."


Ezra's POV:

Aria finally let me sleep in our bedroom, leaving Ella the guess bedroom for the night. Now, at the crack of dawn I woke up feeling as if everything is going to change. I had called campus last night and told the front office I was going to be out on Sunday. Heidi was in shock, because out of the two year's that I have been running the school I have never missed a Sunday.

Sunday's for me was like prep-course. It was a way to get all the things that I didn't finish during the week done and over with. Right now I am trying to get grant funds for a new Library and Art's department. Last year we had a flood, it ruined both buildings. Over the year, I've manage to raise enough to get one build up and going. And that was just the Library, I needed that place up and running. Now I am working just as hard to get the fund's for the Art's building.

"Morning" I said when I heard the door open and in walked Aria with just a towel wrapped around her. "You look beautiful." I gushed, I don't even remember the last time I had seen Aria, in just her towel.

"Thank you. I think" She shook her head and went over to the closet and rummaging through it. "You better get ready, Danielle and Eric are downstairs with mom. And they are excited that you'll be with us today." Aria turned and looked at me before looking back at the closet.

"Yeah, Alright" I told her and got out of bed. I wrapped my arm's around Aria, and felt her head on my shoulder. "I love you, so much. Thank you, for this chance" I whispered and kissed the top of her head before walking into the bathroom.

About 45 minutes later the five of us was out the door, and in Aria's SUV on our way to the flea market. I paid for our entrance and found a spot. Danielle ran to Aria, and took her of her hand. While Eric took hold of mine's. Ella walked on the side of Aria, and I looked forward. The ride over was silent, nothing was said about Aria and my relationship. But I knew Ella, was only waiting for the right time.

We started to look at the variety of vegetables and fruits. With some of the vendor's giving fresh samples of fruits, you could be full by the time you go home. Eric, took hold of Ella's Hand when she walked up to the vendor that had Power Ranger toy's. I chuckled and shook my head, as I watched him go through every toy.

Danielle walked up to the tent also leaving Aria and I in the back watching. Danielle loved Dora the explore. But to me, I think she is fake... I pulled Aria, toward me a few moments later and wrapped my arm's around her again. Aria sucked in a breath and looked up at me with a genuine smile. I lent down and gave her lips a kiss, after about a minute I heard people telling us to get a room. And that was coming from my five year- old. Aria and I pulled away laughing and I picked Danielle, up and placed her up on my shoulders.

"This is fun" Danielle squealed, making Aria and Ella laugh.

"Me too Daddy, please" Eric begged.

"Alright" I said taking Danielle down and picking up Eric. He laughed as I started to run a fair distances. "Stop" He yelled and I took him down

"What's wrong?" I question full of concern.

"Daddy, we passed Sponge Bob" He pointed to the tent and I laughed.

"Don't you think you have enough toys?" I pretended to be stern, but when he gave me his puppy dog face. My heart melted. "Alright."

"Sucker" I heard Ella whisper. "Aria pulled that same face, when she couldn't get her sailor moon doll"

"Not true" Aria blushed "It was My little pony" She joked. "Rainbow dash was my favorite."

"What's My little pony?" Danielle asked, Making Aria glare down on her.

"Remind me to rent the movie, your going to love it." She winked at me and I shook my head.


"Today was great Daddy, are you going to spend every weekend with us?" Danielle asked when I started to tuck her into bed.

I shrugged "I plan on it. I just have a few adjustments to make at work. Okay?"

"Okay Daddy. Goodnight" She smiled and lent up to give me a hug and kiss "I love you"

I smiled "I love you too" I kissed her and placed the blanket once again over her. I shut off the light, leaving her Dora night light on, for the time being. Aria, usually turn's it off before coming to bed.

I walked into Eric's room to see that he was already sleeping. I closed his door and walked downstairs, to see Aria finishing up the dishes. "I could have done that." I told her.

Aria looked at me and smiled "It's fine, I'm almost done." She took the last dish and placed it in the drainer.

"So, I was thinking about hiring a second wing man." I blurted.

"Oh, is that what you want?" Aria asked drying her hands and placing the dish towel over her shoulder. "Maybe you just need a better secretary?"

I nodded and picked up the pen that was on the counter. I started to twirl it around, in between my fingers. "Maybe"

Aria sighed "Look, you don't have to hire people. You just need a better system, that way you can cut back your hours. You have over 100 people under you. But each has their own department. Why are you the one running it all at once. You take one department at a time, and go from there."

I smiled and looked up from my hand "Yeah, I will do something. I promise"

Aria lent over and kissed me "I am holding you to that promise Ezra."

"I know" I whispered and kissed her again. "Let's go to bed"

So what did you think? I thought it was okay, but I am leaving you' all to decide that. Please Review, it's that little button on the bottom. I promise it won't bite.
