Luna blinked at midnight when someone was typing on her bedroom door. She rubbed her eyes, then glanced at the clock on the wall which showed the time at 11:45 pm. One of the babies was heard crying too. she immediately got out of bed to her baby while glancing at the door that was knocked.
"Keenan, why are you crying? Are you thirsty, honey?" Luna took Keenan from the crib, then carried and rocked him while walking towards the door.
"Who the hell is going to my room at this time of night? I've only just been able to sleep soundly." Luna huffed in annoyance as she opened the door.
Luna was stunned when she saw who was currently in front of her. "Ethan."
"I come for you and our baby," Ethan whispered then lowered his head to kiss Keenan who immediately fell silent watching him. Ah, maybe the baby missed him.
suddenly appeared from the living room someone carrying a birthday cake that already had a candle with the number 24 lit above the center of the cake. It was Alexa who walked up to Luna and Ethan along with Andrew and Rita and the two babysitters of the twins.
Ethan immediately took the cake, then looked at Luna who had been silent for a long time while continuing to hold Keenan.
"Happy birthday to you ... happy birthday to you ... happy birthday my wife ... happy birthday my love ...." Ethan sings softly while smiling looking at Luna who shows a happy hue on her face. He smiled sheepishly because Luna had once said that his voice was bad.
"Ethan. Ira said you were sick ... and why did you even dare to come?" Luna instead noticed Ethan's gesture, which looked thinner and weaker. His face was a little pale and his voice sounded like he had no energy. She began to worry about her husband.
"I told you, I came for you and our baby. Don't worry about my illness, I'll be fine when you take me back," said Ethan as he pushed the cake forward with the candle that had been asked to be blown.
Luna smiled and closed her eyes for a moment, then blew out the candle.
"Happy birthday," Ethan whispered as he kissed Luna's forehead. He immediately gave the cake to one of the babysitters who had been watching him along with the others. They were happy to see this surprise.
Ethan took out a small box from his sweater pocket, then opened and took out the diamond ring he had bought for Luna.
"Hope you like it." Erhan grabbed Luna's hand and put the ring on the ring finger of her right hand, while her left hand was still carrying Keenan.
"It's so beautiful, I'm sorry, Ethan." Luna embraced Ethan with one hand and her eyes filled with tears. "I've been thinking about you for a long time. I kept you away from our kids until you got sick. I'm so bad," she said hoarsely.
Ethan let go of Luna's embrace, then looked down to wipe her tears gently. "You are innocent, honey. I deserve this punishment. You made me realize the meaning of time. I've wasted you when you need me as your encouragement, my mistakes to you will never be forgotten. But I promise to make up for it by making you happy."
"I have forgiven you and I will give you a chance. I will never ask us to be apart again. Because it will only make us hurt each other by longing." Luna hugged Ethan again, expressing her longing, no matter how many pairs of eyes smiled with relief watching him.
"Thank you. I promise I won't hurt you again, honey," Ethan said hoarsely and sadly, then let go of Luna's embrace. He glanced at Keenan who had been staring at him for a while.
"I want to carry him," said Ethan as he held out his hand to Keenan. He missed her baby so much that when he finished giving her a surprise, he immediately wanted to cuddle him.
"Of course. You have to carry him." Luna gave Keenan to Ethan with a relieved smile. Then glanced at Alexa and Andrew who caught her attention.
"Alexa... I didn't expect you to come all the way here." Luna approached Alexa and hugged her.
"If I don't come, maybe Ethan won't make it in time." Alexa let go of Luna's embrace and said again. "You're slim now. I'm going to miss your old fat belly."
"I won't be fat anymore, Alexa," Luna replied with an amused smile.
"Who knows, Ethan wants another child when your child grows up. Bee likes babies," said Alexa while glancing at Ethan who immediately kissed Keenan passionately.
"It won't, Alexa. Having a boy and a girl is enough." Luna glanced at Alexa who even mocked her.
"By the way, happy birthday, Luna. Hope you can be a good wife and mother. And ... and I wish you all the best." Alexa hugged Luna tightly. For her, Luna is like a sibling that she always misses when she is far away.
"Thank you, Alexa."
Luna and Alexa glanced at Ethan who was kissing and rocking Keenan with a relieved smile. Rita and the others were also happy to see the father and son back together.
"Take all of this as a lesson. Being away from your beloved husband is very emotionally draining and will leave pain because of longing," said Rita while patting Luna's shoulder.
"Yes, Mom. I did feel tormented because of my own will. I can't be away from him any longer. he misses our baby." Luna looked sadly at Ethan who was now walking into the room towards the baby crib where Keyra was sleeping.
"Now express your longing, let me take care of your guest," said Rita, smiling warmly.
"Yes, Luna. Ethan needs to be pampered," said Alexa with a teasing glance.
Immediately Luna blushed and nodded because she realized that if he was sick, Ethan would indeed be very spoiled. "Yes, thank you again for wanting to help him come here," she said.
Alexa smiled and nodded. Luna immediately followed Ethan into the room and closed the door again. Rita immediately took Alexa and the others to the living room.

Ethan sat in the middle of the bed cradling his two babies with his strong arms. Sometimes he glanced at them in turn. Anxiety and relief swept through his heart, he glanced at Luna who had been smiling watching him.
"They're so cute and more fat I thought." Ethan bent down to kiss them one by one. "Why does Keyra have less hair than Keenan? The reverse, when girls should have more hair than boys."
Luna chuckled and took Keyra from Ethan's arms. "It is okay. when she grows up, she will have long and beautiful hair, because I have bought a shampoo that is good for hair growth."
"She'll be beautiful like you, honey." Ethan continued to rock Keenan who was slowly falling asleep because it was the middle of the night and the baby was getting sleepy again.
"He's handsome like you too, honey." Luna smiled at Ethan while breastfeeding Keyra so she could go back to sleep.
until the two babies finally fell asleep again. Ethan and Luna immediately put them into the crib. After that, they sat back on the edge of the bed looking at each other with a bit of awkwardness because they had been far apart for quite a while.
"I just realized, you're wearing my shirt," said Ethan while glancing at Luna with an amused smile.
"Because I miss you," Luna replied while leaning her head on Ethan's shoulder.
"I can never stop missing you and them."
Ethan glanced at the two cribs where his two babies slept, embracing Luna. "Are you like that, even though you hate me?" he asked with an intense gaze looking down at Luna.
Luna only responded with a nod, then embraced Ethan whose body temperature was starting to heat up. "You have a fever, you are still sick."
"Tomorrow I will recover because I am happy and relieved to be by your side," said Ethan as he let go of Luna's embrace. He brought his face closer to his wife's, staring at her intensely with their foreheads pressed together. "I miss my sweet and spoiled wife."
"I also miss my husband who is spoiled and always caring. Don't dump me like two months ago," Luna whispered with teary eyes while feeling Ethan's jaw which was covered with fine hairs and looked thick. She was really afraid of being ignored, and so was Ethan.
Ethan shook his head, then kissed Luna's lips which he had not felt for more than a month. "I won't do that stupid thing again, because I regret it, I love you more than anything.
