It was almost eight Penelope was finishing getting ready to go on a date, the first one since they split.

Her doorbell rang and she went to open the door. "Hi Rob," she said to the man standing on her entrance.

"Hey Pen," he gave a kiss to her cheek. "You ready?"

"Yeah, let me get my purse and we can go." She left the living room, minutes later she was back. Even though Robert was good looking, she didn't felt attracted to the blonde man.

They went to a fancy restaurant and talked about different topics. They weren't really interesting, or maybe it was the fact that she kept looking at her phone to see if her future ex husband called.

"And how is Liam?" He asked suddenly.

"He is doing great." She half smiled. Liam was her four years old son.

"Where is he now."

"With Luke" she drank a sip of her wine and looked around the place.

"Oh," he ate the rest of his dinner.

Penelope had been separate for one year, the toughest year of her life.

"Did you get over him?" Robert asked.

"I don't think we should talk about it." Penelope looked to one side.

"I think we must talk about it because if I'm trying something here, I should know."

"I don't want to talk about it Rob, please." she begged.

"I want to talk about it Penelope." He snapped at her. "Why aren't you divorced?"

"I'm leaving." She stood up and walked through the door.

"Wait!" He ran through her. "Can we… pay separate?..." he pointed at the dinner.

"Asshole." She snapped and slapped his cheek walking out of the restaurant.

She arrived at her house walked past the living room and inside her room. It was always difficult to be there, it wasn't her home. Tears started running down her cheeks.

-In other part of the city.-

"Daddy!" The little kid said.

"What happened Li?" Luke walked out of the kitchen to see his kid.

"Where is mommy?" Liam asked.

"She is on a date." Luke answered with a sad smile.

"Can we go with her? To her hom... house?" He rubbed his eyes.

"Li, Is okay if you call it home."

"No, home is here not there…"

"Baby…" he hesitate.

"Please daddy." His big brown eyes had little tears.

"I will call your mother." Luke said taking out his phone. He walked back to the kitchen. In fact he was still in love with her, but how was he going to interrupt her date. "Damn it!" He punched the table.

"Daddy what happened?" Liam snapped from the living room.

"Nothing baby." Luke yelled back.

She was his woman, and his woman was on a date with another man. They were separage, and she was still his. He was still trying to figure why on earth they split.

"Penelope?" He said.

"Is something wrong with Li?" She panicked.

"Everything is great…" He said scratching the back of his neck.

"So why are you calling?" She laid on the bed.

"Are you busy?" He didn't want to ask.

"No, dinner was over soon."

"Good, I mean… I'm sorry…"

She chuckled. "Why are you calling Luke?"

"Daddy ask her if we can go and visit her." Liam said entering the kitchen.

"I think you heard." He smiled at his son.

"You… you want to come?" She doubt in asking.

"Yes" was his only response.

"Daddy wants to watch movies at your place." Liam said.

"You can come." She smiled and he could feel she was smiling, he knew her voice.

"I will sleep on the sofa."

"You can sleep in Liam's bed."

"Okay" they hung up and went to her home.

"Mommy!" Liam screamed and ran through Penelope's arms once she opened the door.

"Hey my pretty angel." She kissed his head. The worst part of her splitting was leaving his little kid.

"I missed you mommy." He kissed her cheek.

"I missed you too my little sunshine." She walked with him on her arms.

"Hey." Luke said entering the house.

"Hey Lu," she greeted him.

He smiled at her, that dumb smile he always gave her. "He wanted to come with you, he misses you a lot.u"

"Are you sure it was only him?" She asked looking at his bag.

"No… Penelope we have to talk." He put all his stuff aside.

"Once this cutie is asleep." She placed him on the sofa and sat next to him.

"I want a movie mom."

"I think is late for a movie Li." She kissed his head and brought him closer to her.

Luke was looking the scene from the other couch. His girl was a natural with their kid. She was perfect.

"What are you looking at?" She asked in a whisper.

"How perfect you are." He answered.

"Don't start with that Luke." She complained.

"Pen, how many times…" he was interrupted.

"Please" she repeated with small tears.

"Penelope, we need to talk." he said taking the sleeping kid from her arms. Soon he was walking back to her. "Pen, it's been the hardest year, baby I need to know why…" he rubbed his hand on her arm.

"I'm so sorry Luke," she cried back.

"What is it?" He got closer to her.

"When they called you on that mission and I almost lose you, god! I felt my heart broken, and then you came back, but I…" She cried. "My world was over, I felt so afraid of losing you I couldn't lose... I felt suffocated and don't get me wrong it wasn't you, it was me."

"Honey you left, wasn't that losing me?" He pulled her to his side. "I still love you Penelope, and god dammit! I want to be with you, I want to marry you again." He kissed her temple.

"We can't Luke…" She sobbed.

"Yes we can, I still love you." He tried to made her look at him.

"Luke, I lose a baby," She stood up.

"What? When?" He asked in disbelief. She couldn't stop crying. She was so stupid for not telling him, but she knew he had his own business. "Penelope, answer me."

"It was when they called you. I was going to tell you, but then we thought you were dead."

"And you lose it while I was on the mission?" He hold her hand.

"It was almost when you came back, and even then I thought about telling you, but then they called…" she couldn't stop crying.

"Baby" he caressed the side of her face. "I'm here honey, and I will always be here for you."

"I want to be with you, I was so dumb, I'm sorry Luke, I really am." She cried harder in his embrace. "But I betrayed you." She stood up.

"Sweetheart, don't you get it? I still love you." He tried to reach her hand.

"You can't love me Lu, I'm not good!" She snapped.

"Mommy?" The little boy called from the dark hall. "Daddy? why is she crying?" He asked rubbing his eyes.

"Come here my little prince." She extended her hand so he could took it.

"I don't like you crying mommy." He hugged her hard.

"I'm sorry baby," Penelope whispered against his hair. "I'll take him back to bed." She said to Luke.

"Okay." Luke mumbled.

"Mommy if you want I can stay here forever," Liam caressed her cheek. "I don't need to go home with daddy or any of my toys."

Even he didn't call it home, she missed them both. "I love you Li."

"Love you too mom." He hugged and snuggled next to her, soon he was asleep. She stood from the bed and walked through Luke. He was asleep too. She took a blanket to cover his body, but he stopped her.

"Pen, we didn't finish." He hold her hand.

"I… ai think we are done here…" She said not looking at him.

" No, we aren't, babe we were both in difficult circumstances and oh god I wish I knew about you," he got closer to her. "I'm sorry for not being there for you." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"You don't have to be sorry." She hold his hands. "I want you Luke." She wrapped her arms around her neck.

"I want you too my princess." He hold her hips. "I don't want to live without you, it was the worst year of my life."

"Same, and it was all my fault baby." She buried her face on his chest.

"You know what, let's stop these." He made her look at him. "Come here my queen." He made her sit on his lap. "I missed all of you." He caressed the side of her face. "And it was killing me that you went out with another guy."

"I didn't mean to make you feel that way, I was just trying to make myself get in the idea of not being with you."

"Promise me you won't do that again" he was rubbing her thigh.

"Promise." She smiled at him. Luke closed the distance that was between them and started kissing her lips. "I missed your kisses."

"You won't be missing them again." He kissed her again. Soon they were laying on the sofa, she was on top of him. Luke was caressing her lower back her blouse long time gone. "I love you mrs Alvez." He buried his face on her neck making her moan.

"Love you too mr." she pulled his head and kissed his lips again. "Make love to me handsome."

"None of that princess." He smiled at her reaction.

"Why not lover? It's been a year." She pout.

"I know and believe me I'm uberly desperate, to have you again," he kissed under her earlobe. "To have you smooth legs around me and be deep inside you." He gave a passionate kiss on her lips. "Let's get some rest, tomorrow I'm taking you back home."

"You expect me to sleep with you telling me those things?" She kissed under his chin and rest her head on his chest.

"Yes, 'cause you're not receiving any of this…" he pointed at his body. "Now let's sleep." He pulled her through the sofa and they stayed there until both fall asleep.

Next morning they woke up by a very loud kid.

"Daddy! You took mommy away?" Liam complained.

""What…?" he rubbed his eyes.

"Mommy was going to sleep." He pout.

"Morning my handsome men." Penelope woke up and smiled to both of them. "What's the matter baby?" She looked at Li.

"Daddy took you away." He wrapped his tiny arms around her neck.

"Oh honey!" She hugged him. "You know something uberly awesome?" She asked looking at Liam and then to Luke.

"Yes" he nod.

"I'm going back home." She couldn't stop smiling.

"Really?" Now he looked at Luke.

"Really little man." He smiled at his son that started cheering.

"I think he lines the idea." Penelope kissed Luke.

"Same as me princess." He deepened the kiss. "I can't wait to take you home."

"Same thing my prince." She caressed his face and kissed him one more time."

"Promise me I won't live with out you again." He said holding her face.

"Promise" She said smiling and wrapping her arms around his waist.

Two months later…

"Wake up my pretty princess." He kissed her lips.

"Mmhm, what a way to wake up handsome." She smiled and opened her eyes.

"How do you feel, huh?" Last night she had been sick.

"Much better my love, thank you for asking."

"I will call Em for the day off, I want you to go to see a Doctor." He stood up.

"Is not necessary baby." She pulled him back to bed.

"Penny, you need it." He caressed the side of her face.

"Listen I'm okay, maybe dinner was a bit too much." She hugged him a little harder.

"I don't want anything bad to happen to you." He smelled her hair.

"Nothing bad will happen." She smiled.

"Princess, please." He begged.

"Lu, I've been having this crazy idea that maybe I'm…" She shook her head.

"That you what?" He made her look at him.

"That I'm pregnant." She half smiled.

"You for real?" He had a big smile on his face.

"You happy?" She had tears running down her cheeks.

"Very much." He kissed her. "You are my best gift."

"And you are mine." She kissed him back.

"You need a pregnancy test woman!" Suddenly he react.

"I bought like five in the drug store." She played with his hair.

"What are you waiting? Move your cute ass to the bathroom. Hurry, hurry!" He stood and made her stood with him.

Five minutes later she was walking out through the bed. "We need to wait for another minute."

"Sit here, I'll go, if you want."

"Okay." Her voice was small.

"Everything will be good honey." He hold her hands and then walked inside the bathroom. A few minutes later he was out. "You wanna know what it says?"

"Yes," she could guess by his expression what was the result.

"We are going to have another baby!" He snapped and ran through her.

"Oh my God!" She said when he pulled her out of bed. "I really am, right?"

"Yes you are baby." He kissed her forehead and then her lips. "We are going to have to buy a new house." He got on his knees to kiss her tummy.

"Yeah, about that…" she smiled when he got up. "I asked Derek if he can contact us with his house seller to see what he can do for us."

"That sounds great my love." He was still amazed by the good news.

"Thank you Lu." She caressed his face.

"Thank you to you too Pen." He hugged her harder. "Why don't we start getting ready, we pick up Li from JJ's house and take him for breakfast to tell him the great news."

"You think of everything handsome." She smiled and took his hand.

"Well, you inspire me." He walked behind her and hugged her by her waist. "I love you."

"Love you too." She turned and kissed his lips while walking inside the bathroom.

It was a perfect life, at least for them. Eight months later Penelope gave born to a beautiful healthy baby girl. They were happy and finally together.
