Harry POV

On his way to work, Aria’s words couldn’t stop hunting Harry so he decided to call his secretary to cancel everything he had during the day.He went home and luckily Lillian was there.

“What? Did you miss the road to your office and decided to be home?”Lilli asked.
But Harry wasn’t sure on how to answer her question. “Do you think that I’m a bad father?”
He couldn’t read the emotion that was playing on Lillian’s face but he somehow knew that it was filled with doubts. “Know what, do answer that,” as he began to walk towards the stairs, when Lilli called out to him.

“I don’t know where you got that information or who told you that because I know that, that statement is not true and whoever said that is deceiving you. Harry you’re a great father to two beautiful children. You are always there when they need you. So ....”
But Harry interrupted her, “I’m never there for them. I’m always at work or travelling. Aria told me that she missed us spending time together. I have missed out on so much of their growing but hearing Aria voice it out to me just made me doubt myself as their father.”

Now when he turned back to face Lillian was fuming about his words. “Harry I know that you have issues about being the best father to your children because your treated you poorly. Harry that doesn’t give you the right to assume you’re not the father that those kids because you are missing out on their growing up. Don’t just seat there or beat yourself up with guilt just fine a way to spend more time with them before it too late.”

“What do you mean by ‘before it too late’?”
“Harry c’mon, Aria is turning ten and less than a week, before you know it she would be having boyfriends and heading out to college and same goes for Eddie too.”
“Nah, Aria is still my little girl and she wouldn’t be dating till she is twenty same goes for Eddie.”

“You’re such a hypocrite, Harry. How girlfriend did you have and when did you start dating?”
“Well this is not about me.”
“Just be the dad that they know, and try your best to make them happy. That all they ask for.”
“Thanks,” he said but he was more uncomfortable pouring his emotions out to anyone and especially his wife younger sister.

That when he got an idea, since the kids finish school early he would pick they up and used their private plane to Chicago.He quickly pulled out his phone and called Alvin their pilot and told him to be on standby because they are going to Chicago again but this time with his children.

“So I’m guessing from that killer smile that you have work out a way to be there now for your kids.”
“Yes, and can you pack some their backpack because we are going to pick up their mum from Chicago.”
“Okay.”
Both Harry and Lilli went their separate, and Harry went into his office to call his wife and she picked up and the second ring with her sleepy sexy bedroom voice.

“Hello Rose.”
“Hey Harry, I called but Lucy said that you took the kids to school,” she said and harry could heard her voice break which told him that she had being crying.
“Hey, what wrong?” he asked as he heard her breathe in.

“I just miss you and the kids. I just want to be home and be able to play and talk with my children, Harry. I didn’t know that it was going to be this difficult and I don’t know how you cope with this when you’re travelling.”
“Babe I do cry when I travel without you and the kids, but that why I’m cutting down on my work hours just to spend time with my family.”

“You cry?” she asked with laughter and it makes Harry happy that his wife is smiling.They talked for hours planning Aria’s birthday party and recreating their work calendar to make time for their children, till Harry realised that it was time to pick the kids from school. He told Rose that he would be sending Neil and Alvin to Chicago.

He first picked Eddie up from the child care before he went to Aria’s school. When Harry pulled up in front of her school, Aria was nowhere to be seen and Harry was worried. He told Eddie as they enter the school heading toward the office and ask for Aria, he saw Aria walking out of her class as she went up to him and hug him.

“You got me really worried and scared,” he said.
“Sorry, dad I just had to finish my painting.”
“It Okays, plus I have good news to share.”
“Yay news,” screamed out Eddie, while Aria still waiting on the news.
“Dad, spill,” she said, Harry couldn’t help but laugh at his daughter attitude from being shy to being sassy like her mother and aunt.

“Dad!”
“Okay, we are going to pick mum up from Chicago tonight and we leave now.” Harry couldn’t hear himself because the kids were screaming about seeing their mother. They were on the plane going to Chicago. Harry spend his time asking question about their day at school and he was happy that his children had a productive day at school and for the rest of the flight the play games and Eddie always gets confused about the games and Harry was alsodelighted to see the bond between his children was stronger.

Aria would help Eddie to play the game and he just sat there looking at the monopoly board game till he yelled out, “Someone cheats on my game.” Everyone just watched Eddie and burst out laughing, till the pilot announced that they were at Chicago airport. It didn’t took long still Rose stepped into the plane with a smile till she saw the kids.

It was a true happy moment seeing his children were reuniting with their mother. But there was something that caught Harry’s attention. He kept on staring at Rose’s ring finger but the ring wasn’t there. Did she notice that her ring was missing or did she place it in her purse? He thought.
