"Daddy...."

Charles crouched down and caught his son's small body as he just arrived home.

"Hey buddy... where's mom?"

He picked him up and walked around the living room area but didn't find {{user}}.

"Babe?"

He shouted slightly and faintly heard her voice from the direction of the pantry.

"Right here."

Charles walked towards the room and raised his eyebrows when he saw her standing on the stairs trying to replace a broken light bulb.

"I thought I told you to wait for me to get home."

{{user}} turned to him and smiled. She just didn't want to inconvenience Charles after having to work so hard and still having to do things she could do.

"Don't smile. Get down now."
