The oceans of Gaia are some of the most beautiful sights I\'ve ever seen. Earth\'s oceans were never like this in my lifetime, my parent\'s lifetime, and my grandparent\'s lifetime. "Honey! Do you want some churros?!" A voice that I know all too well reaches across the beach. Chris and Marcus have been having fun in the water, and I\'ve been bathing in the sun.
It\'s nice to have my young body back, restored to the time before I have three children. "Yeah, get me two, please!" He runs back to the booth and starts ordering. The day at this beach is coming to an end soon, and Marcus is still playing in the water. We\'ve been here several hours at this point, and I\'m tanning far more than I thought I would.
The sun isn\'t setting for a few more hours anyway, so there is no harm in staying for a little longer. "Mommy, come and play! The water is so nice!" Marcus\'s childlike voice rings from the direction of the water. My eyes find him, and he\'s waving me over. No sense in keeping him waiting. My quick run towards him causes him to laugh and jump into the water to get away.
I follow him regardless of the time it takes to adjust to the cool water. The rhythmic waves cause him to halt his escape and be sent back in my direction. He\'s sent right at me, and I catch him in my arms. "I\'ve got you now!" My pretend bites and spins cause him to laugh and squeal in joy. We stop spinning as we both get hit by a wave that knocks me over.
We go down laughing and completely soaked. What\'s the point in having a bathing suit if I don\'t use it. "Watch out, Mommy! Daddy is sneaking up behind you!" My sweet boy warns me of approaching danger. I spin us around, and we\'re both lifted and taken to the waves. Marcus and I can\'t help having yelps of enjoyment.
After getting deep enough, Chris jumps with all of us, and we\'re all brought underwater and thrown forward by a wave. "Christoper Adamo! Where do you get off throwing your wife and son into the waves of the ocean!" Marcus reemerges right next to me and charges towards Chris. Splashing water and challenging him to a splash battle.
Marcus is quickly losing, but I decide to help him, and we gang up on Chris. "My own family is turning against me! The betrayal stings more than words can describe!" Marcus and I overwhelm him, and he has to give up. He makes a quick approach to me and wraps me in his arms, and kisses me. Marcus lets out a groan and goes back to playing.
We stop sharing our lips and head back to dry land and our churros. We take a seat on our dry blankets, and the warm heat of the sun shines on us. Drying our skin and clothes. "Here you go, Honey." He hands me my churro, and we watch as Marcus continues playing in the water. Using his fire magic to get creative. He\'s stronger than both of us now.

Violet rests her head on my shoulder and scoots a little closer. She munches on her churro as we watch our youngest son play. "How do you think they\'re doing..." My expectation for a question to come up regarding our other children was high. In fact, I was starting to wonder why she hadn\'t brought it up sooner. My arm wraps around her, and I hug her.
Cera and Hailey are both adults and strong. They\'re probably doing better than any other players would. "I\'m sure they\'re off on great adventures and making memories that they\'ll never forget. I miss them too, Honey..." The more time that I haven\'t seen them, the more I realize Violet\'s pain. It wasn\'t so bad for me in the beginning, but now I\'m starting to feel it.
We\'ve been in Lebeck for a while now, and I can say we\'ve fulfilled my dream of seeing the ocean. Now it\'s time that we do something that Violet wants. "Since we\'ve done what I\'ve always wanted to do. Now it\'s time that we do something you want. Name anything in the world, and we\'ll do it." Being her husband, I know her answer already.
She takes another bite from her churro and slowly chews it. Smiling as Marcus has fun. "I want my other children back, Chris... I want all of us to be together and be a family... Have adventures and make memories altogether..." She\'s not the only one, and if that\'s what she wants, then that\'s what we\'re going to do. Finding them is going to be hard, but not impossible.
There are some ideas I have on how to start looking, and the first is using our connections with the Steel Legion Guild. "We can start whenever you\'re ready, and the first thing we need to do is content the guild for information. If they don\'t have anything, we\'ll have to use magic items." Recently, player mages and scientists have come up with a magical device.
One that allows you to track down a certain player, but it can only be a relative. They were specifically made for players to track down families that have been separated after the Collision. "We\'ll start our search in a couple of days... I want Marcus to have some more fun before we start up again..." My hand rubs up and down her shoulder, and I kiss the side of her head.

Finding my only daughter and my eldest son is my desire and after all this time. My pain for not being with them only increases. Marcus and Chris have done a great job at trying to get my mind off my other children, but I\'m not going to put it off any longer. We\'re going to find them, and we\'re going to succeed in becoming a family again.
The new magical devices that have been made aren\'t cheap, and that\'s why they\'re our second option. If the Steel Legion has nothing for us, we\'re going to have to use all of our funds to get the magical device. I believe it\'s called Familia Finder. "Mommy, can we go out to eat tonight?" Marcus pulls me from my thoughts with a tug at my armor.
My hand rests on his head, and I gently run my fingers through his hair. "I don\'t know, Sweetie... You know that the locals don\'t like us players... The only restaurants that accept us are player-owned..." There are some nearby, but they\'re all expensive. While we have enough gold to be called rich, we still keep to our old habits of living.
We don\'t like spending heaps of money when we don\'t need to. Being poor for the majority of our lives has hard encoded in us a lifestyle that makes saving money the priority. "Okay, we can... Now go tell your father in the other room what we\'re planning." His bright smile makes it all worth it. He runs to the other room, and I lay back on the bed.
I wonder what Hailey and Cera are doing right now... Knowing them, they split up at the first chance they got. Cera is probably in some deep dungeon fighting off monsters strong enough to destroy entire cities. The thought of any of my kids dying tears me to pieces. Even though they can respawn, it\'s not something that any parent would want to experience.
Chris pokes his head through the doorway, and he\'s grinning just a little. "What\'s this I hear about going out to eat?" He quickly makes his way over and pulls me from the bed. "Let\'s not waste any more time then, I\'m starving, and Marcus looks ready to eat a boot." He always knows how to make me laugh. I\'m the luckiest mom and wife in the world.
