"Tucky look! We're coming to you! We're on the plane, mommy said we could call you and tell you we're almost with you!" Nellie is squirming and wiggling so much that she's almost dropped the phone twice. Colt angles the phone towards his face.

"Daddy, mommy said that we'll drive straight to your concert, and see you playing our music! Can I play drums with you? I've been practicing!" He proudly states as his sister pulls the phone back.

"He does practice, all the time, but mommy said he can't go play with you at a concert yet, maybe later when he's older." She turns and gives her brother a smug smile, this is my clue to take over the conversation.

"Hey Tuck, we're on our way, we'll go straight to the stadium from the airport, I love you babe!"

"Awww jeez Sky, I can't believe you guys are finally gonna be with me. I've missed you all so fuckin much!" He smiles warmly, and I see a hint of tears in his eyes.

"Daddy, bad word!" The kids say in unison.

"Sorry guys, I'm beat, I was up late last night, I couldn't sleep, I was so excited to see you today. I love you guys so much, I never want to be a part from you again. Who thought sleeping by myself would be so hard? I miss having Nellies skinny legs kicking me, and Colts big muscly arms hitting me!" Tucker smiles at the kids.

"What about mommy, daddy? Don't you miss sleeping with her too?" Nellie asks in a concerned voice, afraid that I'll feel left out.

"Yeah daddy, don't you miss sleeping with me?" I smile smugly at him

"Guys, I miss all of you, and I really miss mommy in my bed, but tonight we'll have a slumber party, and we can all get kicked and hit by Nellie and Colt and listen to Mommy snore!" Laughing we blow kisses and turn off the phone, eagerly starting our journey.

I'm on stage, beating the hell out of my drums, and I feel like my sticks are just an extension of me, my playing is on fire and I know it's because my family will be here any minute. I'm not looking for them, I know I'll feel it the moment they get here. Security is gonna bring them up to the side of the stage, I'll see them the moment they arrive. We have a couple of chairs set up for them, and Sky is bringing the ear protection, though I know it's gonna be a challenge keeping the headphones on the kids.

All of a sudden I feel it, I know they're close, I've got fuckin goosebumps all over me, the hair is standing up on the back of my neck, my heart is racing. I keep looking to my right, and then a grin spreads over my face as I see them, my babies, and my girl. The kids are racing towards me, Sky has each of them by the hand, our security guy is trailing behind them laughing. My heart stops, all I can do is stare at them, we're smiling at each other and I swear, the world just righted itself, correcting the vacuum I've felt since I've been away from them.

Sky looks at me with a weird expression, and all of a sudden I hear my brother.

"Well, well, well, it looks like my baby bro, the musical genius just fucked up our song! Seems like little Tucky has his attention right over there, and not on the music!" He's laughing and I whip around to see what's going on.

"Hey Jake, what do you think's going on with Tucker?" My asshole brother is gonna laugh at my fuck up forever.

"Why I do believe that your brother has tears in his eyes Kell, is our little genius getting all deep in his feels?" Jake is laughing so hard he can barely talk.

Turning back to look at my people, my world, I see them smiling at me, holding on to each other, the kids are giggling and waving, Sky just beaming. All of a sudden Colt breaks free and runs to me, Nellie quick on his heels. Stepping down, I get on my knees and they crash into me, wrapping them in my arms, I feel tears burning my eyes. I've got my kids in my arms, I look up and see Sky, tears running down her face, her hand at her heart, our minds meet, and I know she's thinking and feeling just what I am. Love, our world, our family, our love.

"Well shit guys, shall we just call this concert over, or do you think my brother will climb back up behind his kit, and start playing like the bad ass he is?" Kell laughs as I look over at him, finally realizing that I've brought this concert to an early and an unscheduled stop.

Standing, I've got the kids hands in mine, we walk towards Sky, when I turn to address the guys and the crowd.

"Sorry for the interruption everyone, but I've missed the fu... I mean I've really, really missed my family the past few weeks. They just arrived, and I really needed to hug them." Squeezing their hands I smile down at them, picking them both up, I've got one on each hip, their arms wrapped around me, mine holding on to them.

"We love you daddy and missed you so much!" Nellie beams at me as she throws her arms around me, Colt drops his head to my chest and squeezes me.

"Well I'm just gonna tell you all, thanks for your patience, I appreciate it. My whole damn world just arrived, and I've been missing the hell out of them. All I need is my girl out here so I can kiss the fuck out of her!" I laugh as her eyes widen and she shakes her head no.

"Bad words Daddy!" Colt and Nellie both giggle.

"Come on Sky baby, get out here, I can't start playing again till I get your lips on mine!" I'm not kidding, I need just one kiss, then I can finish this concert.

The crowd starts chanting for her, she starts backing up, but security is behind her and they gently steer her to the stage.

Sky arrives by my side, wraps her arms around the three of us and then she kisses my lips and the kids, and then nestles her head into my neck. Smiling at the guys, and then the crowd, I proudly introduce my family.

"Everyone, this is my Sky Blue Love, my girl Skylar, and our kids, thanks for indulging me, but these are the best people I know, and every love song I've ever written has been about Sky. I love you guys." I whisper the last part, letting them know, they are mine, just as I'm theirs.

"I love you too Tucker, I'm so proud of you baby, we're gonna go to the side now, have fun!" Sky and the kids give a quick wave to the crowd, and they all three blow kisses to me as they hustle to the side of stage.

"Let's fuckin do this Paris ... !" I start the count into one of our new songs, and what follows is undoubtedly the best concert experience I've ever played. Sky and the kids dancing on the side of the stage, my brother and the guys blowing it up, truly this will always be the concert where everything came together for a perfect night.

The four of us are lying in bed,where we've been since we got back to the hotel last night. We've been cuddling, sleeping, eating, laughing and just fuckin enjoying being together again. Sitting up with my back to the headboard, the kids between us, I reach over to grab the small silk pouch out of the nightstand. Closing my eyes, my fingers wrapped tightly around the navy blue bag, my heart racing, a smile on my face, I know what she'll say, I'm not nervous to ask her the question I've always known I'd ask her.

"Colt, Nellie, Skylar, I love you guys, it feels like I've loved you my whole life. You guys make everything better, the stars are brighter, the sun is warmer, ..." As I'm talking, Nellie bursts through my planned statement.

"Candy is yummier!" She smiles as she adds another truth to my words.

"You're right Nellie, candy is yummier, and basically my world is the best it can be with you guys. So I'd like to ask you all something, how about if we get married? I mean I'll marry Sky, and then we'll be a complete family. What do you guys think of that? I love you all, and this is up to you guys, do you think you want to marry me Sky?" I'm grinning like an idiot, Sky is crying, and scrambling across the bed to jump on me. the kids start jumping up and down on the bed, the kids are laughing, Sky is crying, and I'm doing a little bit of both.

"Say yes mommy! I'll wear a pretty dress, you can wear a big pink fluffy dress, Colt and daddy can wear pink suits! We'll all be so pretty! Please say yes!" Nellie laughs and giggles, running off to find crayons and paper to design the wedding of her dreams.

"Say yes mommy, but I'm not wearing a suit, how about I wear clean shorts and a shirt? Maybe my new race car shirt?" Colt jumps off the bed to I assume, find a race car.

"Say yes mommy, please, make my world full of you and your smile, your heart and your life. Please be mine forever, let the world know that you are my sweet Sky Blue. You are the most amazing and beautiful person I've ever known, and it's a fuckin dream that you love me back. Please baby, say something!" I'm smiling and laughing, because, my sweet girl is smiling and laughing, I know she'll say yes, I just want to hear the words.

"Oh yes Tucker, yes yes yes! I love you so much and you are the most amazing and beautiful person I know!" She drops kisses all over my face, her sweet lips dancing over my skin, just as the kisses start to get really heated, the kids burst back into the room.

"Mommy daddy, Uncle Kell and the guys are here, come on, we told them that we're getting married!!!" Nellie dances and twirls out of the room.

Picking up my soon to be bride, I carry her into the other room to celebrate with my brother and the guys, because unlike my girl and children, they did know what I had planned. And they're assholes to be showing up here when they know I'd rather be celebrating alone with my girl.
