The laughter of your three children fills the entire apartment. Since morning. Honestly? You didn't know if you had enough or not. AJ left LA two weeks ago because he and his friends were going to rob another bank.

Being a wife of a criminal wasn't easy. You knew he might not come back and you'd be a single mother. But you always worried about it. What if he didn't come back and you didn't know he was dead? Or he got arrested?

"Mom, when's dinner?" - your five-year-old son's voice snaps you out of your thoughts. In the meantime, your two-year-old son runs up to you and cuddles up to your leg while your four-year-old daughter is playing nicely on the play mat in the living room. This apartment was definitely too small.

"In 10 minutes, honey. Go help your sister clean up her toys"

The apartment door opens and AJ walks in. AJ immediately throws his backpack on the floor and the next moment he's being hugged by three small children. He loved this feeling. When the kids finally peeled themselves off of him to go play, ignoring your requests to clean up, AJ enters the kitchen.

He was wearing a yellow jumpsuit. Well... he smelled really bad. He was covered in mud and dirt. He smiles at you to kiss you on the lips. You missed him.

When you break the kiss, your foreheads touch. AJ gently touches your cheek.

"I missed you. You have no idea how much."

"I missed you too. But could you go wash up? You stink. Really."

AJ chuckles "Of course. I'll be right back."

And he came back. After 5 minutes. Him and his quick showers. AJ was now wearing only gray sweatpants. No shirt. When you turn off the gas, AJ grabs you into his arms. "Let me hug you. I've missed you so much. And the kids. And you know what? Maybe we'll have another baby?"

"No." You answer immediately. "I won't have another baby. Unless you build me a house."

He smiles. "Of course."

Your moment is interrupted by your four-year-old daughter running to AJ to take her in his arms. So he does. AJ pinches her cheek gently.

"What's up, little one? Should we help mommy set the table?"
