Lazar’s POV

    Lazar’s POVMy children’s tenth birthday made me realize that there was nothing I wouldn’t do for my family. There was no sacrifice too big.“Daddy, this is so amazing! Thank you!” Aiden yelled when he opened the video game I got him.“There’s more where that came from, honey.” I smiled at him.Amelia opened her dollhouse and gasped. She was a real feminine girl. Even at ten, she was still obsessed with dolls and I didn’t discourage her at all. I would always support my children no matter what they did.

    Miriam’s POV“Lazar, you’re back?” I asked in shock. “When did you arrive?”I was still in shock so it felt completely unreal when he enveloped me in a tight hug. Even though this was exactly what I had been praying for, it seemed unreal seeing it unfold right in front of my eyes.“Yes, I am, baby. I have missed you so much,” he said out loud but in my ears he whispered, “I’m so sorry, babe.

Don’t judge me if I want to kiss him.”“You can kiss him but not in front of us.” They said before running off to play with their iPads.“Come on, let’s go upstairs so we can talk privately.”***The next couple of minutes were spent calling our family and friends that knew about his absence to tell them that he was back.

Our friends are going to be here tomorrow. If you call us babies, they won’t stop teasing us about it.”“You guys are my babies,” I said with emphasis on the word ‘are’. “But since you guys insist, I won’t say anything like that in front of your friends.”“Thank you, Mom.”“Now, go ahead and write your lists before I change my mind,” I teased them and they scampered

    Miriam’s POVI told them everything that happened. About how I got a call from Anita, explaining what was going on to me.“I don’t understand. How did Anita know that you were the one calling?” Serena asked“Apparently, she saw that my number kept calling him over and over so she decided to steal the phone and check who was calling.”“So your number wasn’t saved on his phone?”“No it was but with an alias.
