"Come on guys. Let's go see daddy." I motion my seven year old twins towards the front door. Visiting hours at the prison start in ten minutes and I do not want to waste any second, even after the incident between my husband and I.

"Why didn't we go the last two weeks?" Taleah asks me. I purposely ignore the question because I don't know how to explain to her that daddy and papa had a disagreement, so I skipped out on last weeks visit so that I wouldn't have to face Anthony. But, the twins do not need to know all of that.

"We're going to see daddy now," is what I say, "Come here let me see."

Aj and Leah turn their faces around and I examine them. I clean their noses and then use my travel size organic cocoa butter, rubbing it into their faces to protect them from the cold air. I zip up their jackets and readjust their scarves. The whole time I'm doing my double check they like to protest, but I'm used to it.

After locking up my apartment, I grab Aj and Taleah's hand in mine and we make our way down to my car. I buckle them up, get in the front seat and then drive the fifteen minutes to the Metropolitan Detention Center. When we arrive and get inside, were told to take our jackets and scarves off. We can't wear layers of clothing inside the visiting room for security reasons so they keep our jackets before with them before we go in. And of course we had to go through a metal detector and a pat down.

After that tedious process, we are escorted to the visiting room where other families are seeing their loved ones.

"Where's daddy?" Aj asks, looking around frantically.

"They're probably telling him we're here," I say since I told the woman at the desk who I'd be visiting, which they all know by now.

I take a seat with my kids at an empty table and wait for Anthony to come out. I hope he comes. I didn't call him along with not visiting him last week, and I didn't tell him I would be coming today. It was stupid of me, but he made me upset and I made him upset so I didn't want to talk to him. I know I should not have done that especially when he looks forward to seeing his kids. I will never do that again. We've had arguments but usually we, more so I, wouldn't speak him but I'd still bring the kids and call him on the phone for them.

A very familiar, handsome face arrives into the room and I can't make eye contact with him. I'm still mad, and I know he's probably livid that I didn't call or pick up or visit. I don't want to look at him while he's mad at me. And I don't want to look at him while I'm mad at him.

I look down onto the plastic table and avoid any communication, even when he takes a seat across from the kids and I. They immediately hop up from my side when he sits down.

"Daddy," Taleah cheers and runs around to his side, along with Aj.

I look up for a moment only to capture the beautiful moment of our kids and Ant reuniting. He picks them both up with one arm, sets them on his lap and then showers them each with kisses until they giggle and laugh.

"I missed you," Aj says to him.

"Missed you too baby," Anthony caresses Aj's face and hair while Aj looks up at him in admiration. Both Leah and Aj cuddle up to Anthony's chest and hold him tight as if this was the last time they would see him. I'm never going to keep his kids from him ever again, although that was not my intention. It slipped my mind to call Tyler and ask him to take the kids for me last week. But I'll never forget again.
