We pulled up to the farm a little after six o'clock.

"They will probably be having dinner so we might have made it in time."

Getting out of Clint's truck and grabbed our bags out.

"That would be nice, I am hungry."

We walked in.

"I'm home," Clint called out.

"Daddy!" The kids came running to him and I watched as he hugged both of them. Then Lila saw me.

"Auntie Bekah!" She came running up to me and I picked her up giving each other hugs.

"Hello bug, how are you?"

"I'm good, daddy's home, and you and Auntie Nat."

"What were you doing?"

"Eating dinner, do you want some? I helped them make it."

"Well, then I need to try it now." She laughed and Cooper walked over.

"Hi, buddy."

"Hi, aunt Rebekah." I give him a hug with Lila still on my hip. Laura and Nat walk over to us as well.

"It is so good to see you, it has been so long," Laura tells me and pulls me in for a hug.

"I know, I have been busy."

"Because your daddy's Iron Man?"

"Yes, and it is a lot of work."

"Well, we have food so come sit and eat." We all go over to the table and eat our dinner. We keep the conversation light because of the kids but I had a feeling where it would go once the kids were in bed.

After dinner Lila wanted me to help her get ready for bed so we made our way up.

She was always a pretty easy kid and just so happy. I made sure she was changed with teeth brushed and ready for bed before we went back down where the three other adults were just finishing cleaning up after dinner.

"Tell them good night and I will read you a story." She went around telling them goodnight with hugs to them all and while she was Cooper came down ready for bed and told us all good night before going up to his room and going to bed. Nat had told me that he was now 'too old' to have anyone come in with him at night to tell him goodnight.

"I will be down in a few." I walked back up holding Lila's hand and we went into her room. She picked out a book and I helped her get in bed and covered her before starting the story. By the time we were halfway, she was already starting to fall asleep. I finished the story and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Good night Lila bug, sleep well. I love you."

"Love you too auntie Bekah's" She mumbled. I smiled and walked out flipping the light off and the night light on before closing the door leaving it cracked open just a little.

Walking over to Cooper's door I lightly knocked.

"Come in" I heard him softly call. I opened the door to see him in bed.

"Just wanted to say good night."

"Aunt Rebekah, can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can ask me anything." I walked into his room and he set up so I sat at the foot of his bed.

"The job that dad, aunt Nat and you do is dangerous right?"

"I guess it can be but not always. Why?"

"I just want to know that dad will always come home to us."
