Recently Kolivian had contacted Antok and asked him to go on an important mission. After having a very serious discussion with you about leaving for a while you both came to the agreement that you and your babies would be safer if you stayed at home. Naturally, you were nervous about Antok going out on a potentially dangerous mission. But he promised that he would return. When the day came you tried your best not to cry.

"Promise me that you'll come home alive and in one piece?" You asked Antok.

"I promise. I would never leave you forever." Antok said as he knelt down and kissed you.

You wrapped your arms around his neck and kissed him back. Asher and Alnov knew that their father was leaving, and they weren't happy.

"Daddy don't go!" Alnov cried as she clung onto Antok's right leg after he pulled away from the kiss and stood up.

"I must." Antok said, looking down at his daughter.

"No go! No go! No go!" Asher shouted as tears ran down his face.

"I will be back soon." Antok said calmly.

"No go!" Asher shouted again, clinging onto Antok's tail.

"Daddy! Don't go!" Alnov shouted as you picked her up and put her in the playpen.

Antok felt bad that his children were this upset about him leaving. When he picked Asher up he nuzzled him. Asher gripped onto Antok's uniform, not wanting to let go. Antok walked over to the playpen and put Asher in with his sister.

"You two behave for your mother. I promise that I will return." Antok said softly.

"Bye bye daddy." Alnov said, still crying.

"Bye bye papa." Asher said sadly.

Antok stood up and hugged you again. You hugged him back as tightly as you could. After you let go, Antok's mask fizzled over his face and he went outside where the BoM ship was waiting for him.

You were once again cooking dinner alone as you worried about Antok. It had been roughly two and a half weeks and you hadn't heard from him. Asher and Alnov were more quiet than normal as they sat on the kitchen floor and watched you. When you heard the front door open you turned around.

"Antok?" You asked when you saw who had come into your house.

"Y/n, I have missed you." Antok said as his mask fizzled away.

"I missed you too." You said as you walked over and hugged him.

"Daddy!" Alnov said as she stood up and walked over.

"Papa!" Asher said as he too stood up and walked over.

Antok purred as Asher and Alnov hugged his legs. He was happy to be home in one piece and uninjured. You were also happy that he was finally home. That night he told you about his mission as you all ate dinner together.
