A couple days later Arvilla, the twins and Margene went grocery shopping together.

"Mama." Joe smiles, placing his hands on her lips as Arvilla pushes them in the basket.

"Hi baba." She smiles and kisses his hands.

"Arvilla, you never told me.  Why did Robert have to leave so soon?"

"He had to work."

"Aw that sucks.  Did they know he was in the states?  He traveled all that way!"

"Yeah well.. I don't know."

".. Did something happen?"

"No!  No, nothing happened." Arvilla smiles.

Heidi looks to her mother and gives her a cheeky smile. "Mama kish Bob!"

Margene's eyes widen and her jaw drops. "She what?"

Arvilla chuckles nervously and sticks her pacifier in Heidi's mouth. "Silly kids!  They say the darnedest things!"

Margene reaches over and takes the pacifier out of Heidi's mouth. "Hold up, I wanna hear more!"

"She kissed him?  Your mommy kissed your uncle Bobby?"

"Ohh da wips!" Heidi puckers.

"I don't speak baby, but I think that was On the lips." Margene then turns to Arvilla who sighed deeply.

"So you finally did it, huh?" Margene smiles.

"Margene."

"But why did he leave?  Was it bad?"

"No, it wasn't.  It wasn't.." Arvilla looks down.

"Then what happened?"

"I shouldn't have done it, Margene.  I hurt Joe."

".. Did he tell you that?"

Arvilla rolls her eyes. "I know I did.  I promised Joe the day we got married that I would never fall in love with anyone else."

"Do you love Robert?"

Arvilla looks down.

"You love him!"

"Shh!  I don't love him!  I mean I do but not like that."

"Arvilla, Joe loved someone before you, and loving you didn't erase the love he had for his first wife.  Second loves happen, and they're okay."

"You used the word love way too much in that sentence."

"Don't change the subject!"

"It's still so soon, Margene.  It's barely gonna be two years since he passed."

"Seven hundred and thirty days."

"Margene that's enough."

"My husband died and look at me now.  I'm married!"

"I'd never get remarried, Margene!"

"Alright fine, but just have a little fun!  Joe would want you to be happy."

"I am happy!  All I need are my kids.  I don't need a man to be happy."

"Alright.  I'm sorry."

Months pass and things were fine between Robert and Arvilla.  They had some long talks about what happened.  Arvilla let her tears out and explained why she felt she could never imagine herself with anyone but Joe.  Of course Robert wished she would just give him a chance, but he understood and didn't pressure her.

Since then Robert has done his best to move on and get back into the dating scene.

It is now September and Arvilla is taking the twins, and the boys on a trip.

A couple months back the boys mentioned their many trips to Mexico with their mother.  They talked about going back one day, so Arvilla surprised them with a trip.  Of course the boys were extremely excited and grateful.

On the plane ride Heidi wanted nothing to do with Arvilla, and only wanted the boys.

"Heidi, you are irritating them, come with mommy."

"Aw she's not irritating us." Alan says before leaning over and kissing Heidi's head.

"Yeah, she's funny!" Miguel chuckles.

"Alright well if she starts acting up or stinking then just bring her over."

"Oh we will!" Miguel says making Arvilla laugh.

"It's just you and I, Joe.  What should we do?"

"Mama Noooose." Joe smiles and pokes Arvilla's nose.

"Oh you're so smart, that is mama's nose!"

"Mama eyesssshhh."

"Yep!"

"Mama wiiipsss."

"Correct again!" Arvilla smiles.

"Mama boobies!" Joe smiles and pokes her breasts before grabbing them.

Arvilla laughs. "Yes, now that's enough boobie grabbing.  I swear you are just like your father!"

Two days later.

So far the trip was incredible!  Today they are doing some more sightseeing.  Arvilla placed the twins in the double stroller and they were off.

"This place really brings back a lot of memories." Alan says.

"I feel mom a lot here." Miguel adds.

"Aw.. I'm sure she's with you right now reminiscing about old times.." Arvilla says.

"She was the best mom ever.." Miguel lowers his head. "I miss her."

"I know you do.  I miss my mom too.. it never gets easier, but.. knowing that your momma is dancing with Jesus and will never experience pain again is pretty great, isn't it?"

"That does make me feel better.  I just wish I had more time with her."

Arvilla wraps her arm around Miguel and pulls him close. "I understand."

"I'm gonna make sure the babies never treat you bad or misbehave.  I hate that I wasn't always a good boy.. I should have listened to her more."

"Aw sweetie, you are a good boy!  All kids misbehave every once in a while.  It's just how life works.  We've all done it."

"Even you?"

"Are you kidding?  I was a terror!  I was like Heidi!" Arvilla laughs. "She's cute but she's only a year and a half and already gets into stuff she's not supposed to!"

"And that's what you were like?"

"Yes!  I once peed all over my dad's very important work papers."

"Yuck!" Miguel laughs.

"And I killed my moms aloe vera plant by feeding it to the dog... then I killed the dog cause I fed him the aloe vera plant."

Both boys laugh.

"Woah you were bad!  I've never killed anything!  Just a house fly." Miguel shrugs.

Arvilla giggles. "You're better than me!  I was just a little mischievous.  But it's normal!  So yes, you can still encourage the twins not to be bad, cause that would be big coming from someone they love so much." Arvilla says making a big smile form on Miguel's face.

"But it's normal if they act up.  It's okay that you sometimes didn't listen to your mother.  I know for a fact that that didn't change the love she had for you one bit."

"You really think so?"

"I know so." Arvilla smiles.

Miguel smiles and hugs her tightly.

That evening.

The boys were in their bedrooms, and the twins were asleep.  Arvilla laid in a huge king sized bed all alone.

She stared up to the ceiling as she thought about Joe.  Her eyes tearing as she remembered their many trips to Mexico.

"This is the twins first big trip, Joe.  You would be so proud of the way they behaved on the plane.  Sure there was a small meltdown or two, but they're babies!  They did really well for their age." Arvilla smiles.

"... I just can't stop thinking about how cute you'd look pushing them in their stroller.  Or how much fun they'd have climbing on you." She chuckles softly. "They love climbing on me, the little monkeys." She giggles softly.

".... I just miss you and everything about you, Joe.. I miss your touch.  I'd give anything to make love to you one more time." Arvilla sighed as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

Arvilla felt her body aching for her husband.  she hasn't been satisfied in so long, and she felt she needed him so badly.

Arvilla wiped her cheek before sliding her hand into her pajama bottoms and underwear.  Arvilla circled her bud and breathed deeply as she thought about Joe.  She imagined him touching her, and kissing her entire body.

The sensation between her thighs overwhelmed her.  Since it had been so long she felt herself quickly coming to her release.

"Oh Joe.." She moaned softly.

Her entrance dripped and her hips circled.  He felt her breathing change and her back arch.  Arvilla's toes curled and her body shook as she reached her orgasm.

"Joe.  Joe!" She panted.  "Ah!  Oh!  Oh GOD!  Aghhhh.." She moaned as she squirmed on her lonely bed.

"Oh!  Oh!  BOBBY!" She shouted out.

Arvilla immediately gasped and widened her eyes.  She then shut her legs tight and cover her mouth with her hand.

"What did I just say?" Arvilla thought to herself.
