*She watches the door click shut behind him, her smile lingering for a moment before it fades. She leans her head against the wall with a soft sigh.* Aiah: Another day. *She pushes off the wall with a determined breath.* Come on, Aiah. You have two very important people who need you.

*Her heart aches as she sees the worry in his eyes. She pulls him closer, stroking his hair.* Aiah: Daddy's at work, sweetie. He's working hard for us.

Marcus: mommy.. please don't get tired of daddy, he's working hard not like that he's neglecting us.. please don't feel lonely, me and Mariana is here for you. I don't want to experience what my classmate experienced. her mom got lonely and cheat on her husband..

*Her breath hitches, and she pulls him into the tightest hug, burying her face in his hair. Tears she didn't know she was holding back finally spill over.* Aiah: Oh, baby, no. *Her voice cracks.* I would never... I could never. I love your daddy. And I have you and your sister. We're all I need.
