Jason's POV

**The next morning**

I rolled over to cuddle with Tia, only to be meet with an empty cold spot. 'Where the fuck is she?' I thought, sitting up and looking around the room for a sign of her. When I didn't see anything, climes out of bed and made my way to the bathroom that we shared the o wash my face and brush my teeth. Oddly the usual things that Tia leaves in the bathroom wasn't there. 'Maybe she put it in her beauty room.' I thought, shrugging it off and going about my business.

Once I was done in the bathroom, I go to wake up Aiden, thinking Tia's probably downstairs cooking. When I open the door... he's not there. His bed is neatly made and the room is oddly clean to belong to a five year old boy. 'Somethings not right.' I thought making my way downstairs.

"Tia....Aiden!?" I called

No answer.

I feel panic takeover me as I run upstairs to Tia's beauty room. I opene the door to see that everything is gone. The room is empty... like she was never here in the first place.

I run downstairs into the kitchen, hoping that this is some sick joke. Praying that my Bambina hasn't left me again. Praying that she's right where she's supposed to be. But instead I'm met with my worst fear.

There's a note on the island that simply read 'I could never marry a monster like you.'

She's gone.... again

I woke up in a start, sweat forming on my forehead. "Fuck." I cursed, sitting up. I quickly threw on some shorts and made my way down stairs as quick as I could.

When I walked into the kitchen I saw Tia at the stove cooking and Aiden at the island eating a bowl of cereal. Relief flooded through me as I watched the two reasons that I live and breathe go about their morning businesses.

"How come you ran down here Dad?" Aiden asked through a mouth full of milk and lucky charms.

I was taken aback by his question and Tia must of been as well because she turned and cut her eyes at me. I had to be quick and think of something, because there's no way I can tell my son that have the same nightmare every night about his mother taking him and leaving me.

"Um... I smelled your momma's cooking." I save with a smile, sitting next to him and ruffling his hair. "Good morning Bambina." I greet my queen as she puts a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me.

"Morning." She says with a tight smile. "Hurry up so you can get ready Aiden." She instructed as she put pans in the dishwasher.

"Where's he's going?" I asked, taking a sip of coffee.

"Your parents want to take him to Central Park." She says. "And I have some interviews today."

"I thought you were going to wait till Aiden started school." I say with a raised brow.

"Women like to have they hair done when they go on vacation Jason." She points out.

"There's only about a month and a half left of summer." I counter.

"And that's a month and half worth of money." She quips. "Plus there's going to be the people going back to school and taking senior portraits."

"I'm done momma." Aiden interrupts, before I can say respond.
