Welcome back readers…..

Torrie slept peacefully with her golden hair sprawled out across her pillows. Dreaming ever so peacefully, she was unaware the passionate kisses being trailed over her jawbone. Stirring in her sleep; she awoke suddenly and looked up and smiled.

"Surprise, Surprise, right" said John smiling down at her.

"Hey babe, I didn't expect you until tomorrow".

"After hearing how stressed your voice was yesterday, I decided it was a convenient time to check up on my fam".

"Hmmm….what did Vince say".

"He understood, I told him it was a family emergency".

Torrie sat up and threw her arms around his neck." I love you babe".

"I love you more".

The two shared a passionate kiss then broke apart.

"I figured I'd take you and the boys out to breakfast this morning".

"Great, I'll wake them".

"No babe, you jump in the shower, and I'll surprise the guys".

"Ok".

Torrie got up and slipped into their bathroom. John walked down the hallway and stepped into his youngest son's bedroom, Ryan. The 3-year-old was sprawled out on his bed with his sheet halfway on the floor. Ryan was a wild sleeper so he must have kicked his sheet off. John ran his hand over the right side of his son's face. Ryan wiggled a little.

"Hey Shorty, wake up".

Ryan's eyes popped opened at the sound of his father's voice.

"Dad your home".

"Yup".

Ryan jumped up and threw his arms around his father's neck." I missed you".

"I missed you too".

"You stay for ever daddy".

The statement always got to John everytime Ryan asked it. John gathered his son in his lap.

"Daddy has to leave some time bub, daddy has a job that travels".

"Job no fair".

"Just think of it this way, if daddy didn't work, you wouldn't have any toys".

Ryan pondered that a minute."Ok, job good again".

John chuckled at his son." What do you say we wake up ya brothers now".

"Yeah!" said Ryan jumping off his father's lap and running to the door.

"TY, DYWAN, ALEX, LOWENZO! DADDY'S HOME! ".

John laughed at his antics. Yeah, it was good to be back home.
