"Mommy?" I heard as my head pressed gently to Javier's chest. I sobbed softly, wondering how I was going to explain. I looked past his shoulder and looked at my four year old daughter and her brother who was holding her hand.

I moved back from my love, smiling softly before I walked over to Nina and Jose.

"Yes my loves?" I asked as I knelt on the floor. Jose moved into my arms while Nina was staring up at Jose.

The look on his face was unreadable for a moment. Then he shook his head, confused for a moment.

"They are your children?" He asked. He looked around, as if expecting someone. I knew what he was expecting. He was expecting my husband, even though I didn't have one.

"Yes Javier," I said, lifting my son up as my daughter walked up to Javier, unafraid. He knelt down to her and smiled.

"Hello little senorita," he said taking her hand and kissing the top of it. She giggled softly at him. "Where is your daddy?"

"I don't have one," she told him, and I saw his eyes move up to look at me. He picked her up and held her.

"Katie? Where is their papa?" he asked me. I couldn't look at him. I had to keep looking down until I couldn't help but too.

"He was lost to me a long long time ago," I told him looking dead in his eyes. He frowned for a moment before his dark eyes flashed in an angry and sad look.

"Katie... They needed a father," he said. "He need to be with his family."

"He was Javier," I said softly, my eyes tearing up. "He was." Jose wiped away a fallen tear from my cheek as Javier stepped closer to him. "I once told their father that I'd take him to America with me," the tears were falling more as I had to side Jose for fear of dropping him. "And I didn't only take the love I had for him, but twin children that where from the love we shared."

He took me into his arms after he placed Nina down. "Katie, you should have told me." He told me softly in my ear.

"I couldn't, you had your family, I couldn't place this on you," I cried softly. Nina and Jose were holding hands looking up at me. This was the first time they seen me cry.

"Momma," Jose said, moving toward be and taking my skirt in his little fist. "Momma, don't cry," he said. Javier chuckled and kissed my forehead as he held me. I looked at him, and in his eyes I saw the hint of tears.

"Katie, why don't you introduce me to my children," he leaned in and whispered in my ear. I choked a sob and smiled. He was smiling at me, no longer angry with me. "We can talk alone later," he added, kissing me softly.

It was almost dawn and Javier helped me placed our twins in their bed. They been asleep for the past three hours. They were so happy to find out they had a father. Nina being the bolder of my children and went dancing around her father before he scooped her up.

Now they were asleep, Javier and I had the time to talk.

No sooner I shut the door, his lips descended onto mine, taking my breath away. My arms wrapped around his neck as his went around my waist. How long we stood there kissing I didn't know. It was heaven, but it needed to stop. We had things we had to talk about.

"No, Javier," I whispered moving back a little. "We need to talk," I said softly looking at him.

"No my Katie, we'll take later, right now I just want to be with you," He said, kissing me once more.

"But my parents, the time," I was trying to make excuses but they weren't working.

"And we will, but you need sleep as do I," He whispered in my ear. I sighed and leaned on him as I backed up.

"This way," I said, taking him to my room, not thinking anymore about anyone else. He was right, I was suddenly very tired. I pulled him into the room next to the twins. He kissed me again, picking me up as he did. Before I knew it he settled me in bed, pulling the covers back then over me. He crawled over me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Javier," I said softly, before he quieted me with kisses and I fell asleep. It just was so nice to have his arms around me. I was whole once more.
