Adriana was vaccuming the floor in the living room. Jon and the children left a bunch of crumbs when they were eating cheez-its. When Jon and the children got home, Adriana was going to kick all of them in the butt.

Jasmine was in her walker. Adriana had gave her some mashed potatoes., the baby's favorite food. Jasmine was eating the potatoes and getting them all over her face like she usually did when she ate. However, she never threw anything at her mother. Only her father. Adriana saw the baby making a mess and immediately cut the vaccum cleaner off.

"Girl, you're worse than your siblings!" Adriana said.

Adriana went to the kitchen and grabbed a paper towel then wet it. She rung it out and went back to clean Jasmine's face.

Jasmine quickly became fussy and tried turned her head left and right to prevent her mother from cleaning her face. Adriana gently held Jasmine's head still and finished wiping her mouth clean.

The sound of the doorbell startled Adriana a little.

She walked to the front door and looked through the peephole.

She saw a woman standing on her porch. The lady looked very familiar. Jon had drew a picture of her in his sketch book and showed it to Adriana. He told her it was his therapist Jill. It was pretty accurate too. But seeing the real person face to face was even better. Adriana unlocked the door then slowly opened it.

"Hello," the woman said. "Is Jonathan here?"

"No. He is at work. Who are you?"

"I'm Jill. His art therapist. And I take it you're his...wife?"

"Yes I am. I'm Adriana. He's told me a lot about you."

"He has?"

"Oh yes. My question for you is why would you make a pass at him? He was your patient. You know he is a married man with children. Why would you do such a thing?"

"I was desparate alright? I've been single for a long time now. The last man I had was a complete asshole. Heard he got his ass beat at a bar for messing with some woman. Then he died a little later."

Adriana remembered being with someone else for a little while. And she remembered that he had messed with her in the bar. She knew his name started with an "L" but she really couldn't remember.

"What was his name?"

"Luke."

"Come again?"

"His name was Luke."

Adriana needed to process everything real quick.

This woman was with Luke?

She did remember how Luke used to be gone for a long time during the night. She knew he was having an affair but she never found out who. Until now.

"He would come over to my house then tell me he had to leave and go back home to some other girl he was supposed to marry. Everything was a mess and it jacked me up. So that's why I was desparate to get at Jon."

"I was with Luke at one point," Adriana quietly said.

Jill's mouth dropped open a little.

"I was told Jon had died in the Army. And Luke was there to sweep me off my feet. Luckily, Jon survived the war and came back home. Luke tried attacking me in the bar but he failed. Jon beat his ass. And that was the last time I ever saw him."

"I...ugh...I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything," Jill said.

Adriana remembered that Jon wanted to give back the gift Jill brought him. It was sitting right next to the door. Adriana picked it up and gave it back to Jill.

"For you," Adriana said.

Jill took the bag.

"I forgive you. Take care and seek help for yourself," Adriana said.

"I will," Jill said. "Thanks for not ripping my hair out."

Adriana chuckled a little.

"You're welcome," she said.

Jill turned to leave as soon as Adriana closed the door. She locked it and went back into the living room. Collapsing on the couch, Adriana fell asleep. Jasmine continued eating her mashed potatoes and watched cartoons.

"I called cousin Gus," Jon said.

"Oh my. What did he say?" Adriana said.

"He said he built a four bedroom, three bath house on his property. Said that when we move, part of the property and the house is ours. Gus is dying to see the children. So is granny. Damn, is Mom and Bob moving to Virginia? My mom is going to stay here for the time being."

"Now you know Mom and Bob are going to move in with us too."

"Good. I know we gotta take this damn cat too."

"Yes we do. And our new hamster. Man, I'm going to miss Mickey."

"He lived a good life. Too bad Aiden took him out of this world."

Aiden was playing with the hamster and accidently choked him to death a few days ago. Adriana was still upset by that.

"I'm gonna whoop Aiden's ass," Adriana grumbled.

"Oh, lighten up. You got a beautiful brown one. It's very fat too. Look at the little fat sucker," Jon said.

"Are you sure you're ready to leave this place?" Adriana asked.

"Do you think I'm having second thoughts or something?" Jon responded.

"No, not at all. I'm just curious is all."

"My darling Sally, I am more than ready to have a fresh start. I can wrestle Gus on the trampoline again."

"Jon, you and Gus are going to look like complete dorks wrestling on the trampoline in the backyard. And I will be there to watch."

"Of course you will!"

"Oh, um, Jill came by today."

Adriana saw Jon's jaw tense up.

"She came to apologize. And I gave her back the present she gave you."

"Good."

"I'm glad you didn't cheat on me. If you did I was going to chop your dick off."

"You know damn well I only have the hots for you. Now go make me a sandwich, Sally."

"Okay. I'm gonna put something really special in it."

"On second thought, I'll do it. Hand me the peanut butter out of the pantry."

May:

Everyone was loaded into the SUV ready to orll out of Ohio.

"Alright, is everyone buckled up? How about you princess? Are you nice and comfortable?" Jon asked.

"Yes I am," Maddy said.

"Okay, so we will be there in about 8 hours," Jon said.

"8 hours!? What am I supposed to do for the next 8 hours!?" J.J. whined. He was sitting in the passenger seat next to his father.

"For starters, you better not start complaining or I'm gonna spank you. Second, you, Aiden, and Maddy better not unbuckle your seatbelts so you can hit each other either. I don't mind pulling the car over and whooping all three of you. And your little sister too if she decides to hop out of her carseat. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Daddy," J.J., Aiden, and Maddy said.

"Okay then. Let's go!"

2 Hours Later:

"Are we there yet?" Maddy asked.

"Not yet," Jon said.

"How about now?" Maddy asked.

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"Madaline Linda Good," Jon said, looking into the rearview mirror. "We will get there. Calm down."

Maddy continued playing with her barbie doll in the backseat. Adriana was asleep and so was the baby. Aiden was laying down behind his mother asleep as well. He had one of the backseats to himself. Maddy was right behind him, where she had the entire seat to herself too.

Maddy was getting more curious about meeting her great-grandmother.

"Daddy, how old is great-grandma?" she asked Jon.

"She's 80," he responded.

"Is she wrinkly?" Maddy asked.

"No," Jon said. "Great granny is not wrinkly."

"I hope great granny gives us more presents! How about great grandpa? Does he give out present too?"

"Yes he does."

"Yay!"

"By the time you're 10 you're going to have a room full of toys. You won't be able to walk into your room and lay down on your bed!"

"I'll just sleep with you and Mommy!"

"I'm sure you will," Jon said.

Last night, Maddy had slept with him and Adriana. Maddy was sleeping wild too. She had punched Jon in the face and kicked him in his ribs. Jon was surprised at how strong his little girl was. At least she was able to kick some butt.

"Did you ever go to Virginia?" Maddy asked.

"Yes I did. When I was a little kid."

"Did you like it?"

"Yes I did. And I'm going to like it even better because I have you, J.J., Aiden, Jasmine, J.J., and Mommy with me."

"What about the cat?"

"Yeah. That darn cat. Didn't you change his name?"

"Yes. His name is Cookie now."

"Cookie? That's just fantastic."

"Yup."

Five hours later:

"So, are we close?" Adriana asked.

"Another hour and half since I had to take a leak," Jon said.

"I can't wait to get to granny's house. She told me she was baking sweet potato pie today."

"Oh man. I haven't had that in forever."

"I'm so glad to be going home."

"I know. Mom and Bob are already there. Got the hell out of dodge."

"Yeah. I know you're going to miss your mother."

"I am. But she told me that she's going to visit as much as she can next month."

"That's good. Damn, it's so dark here."

"I know. At least we'll be in the city."

"Yup. Are you going to build me another swing set?"

"You betcha."

"You know what though," Adriana said, leaning forward so she could see Jon's dimly lit face in the driver's seat. "I'm going to miss going to the park and visiting our tree."

"Not sure if you remember, but there was a park not too far from your grandmother's house. Remember when I would always pull you in the wagon to the park?"

"Yes I do. This place is going to bring back more memories."

"I'm ready. Are you ready?"

"More than ready."

"We'll be there soon. I love you, Adriana."

"I love you too, Jonathan. We are going to be together..."

"...Forever."
