Owen and Amelia going to be beach and being super cute
"That wasn't a good idea" Owen said, for the fifth time since this morning.
"oh come on" Amelia got out of the car "it's going to be fun, how many times she is going to get a chance to go to the beach, with a weather so great and both of us keeping an eye on her?" Amelia took Helen out of her car sit, the little girl giggled as her mother put her on the ground.
"You don't want to be here, right?" Owen asked Helen as he was taking the bag out of the car.
"We are goin' to see dolphins" the little girl reached for her dad's hand so they can start walking.
"Heli we talked about it, there are no dolphins in here" Amelia gave Owen a look that he knew means 'good job'.
"I want a dolphin" the girl repeated.
"And what if there are no dolphins here? Do you want to go home?" Owen had a feeling he is going to lose so he was ready to use anything, all is fair in love and war and when he looked at those two all he saw was love.
"No" Heli said slowly looking at her mom for confirmation. They arrived to the beach and Amelia put the parasol.
"Do you want to build a castle? If you are a princess you have to have one" hearing Amelia's words her eyes lighted up.
"Daddy, daddy, let's build a castle" Heli took Owen's hand in her tiny one and tried to drag him to where Amelia put her bucket.
"Wait a second Helen honey, we need to put sunscreen on us before we go play" Owen took the bottle out of the bag and sat on one of their chairs pulling Helen on his lap and cover all of her with it.
"Owen we could just give her a bath of sunscreen" Amelia rolled her eyes while he was putting some on himself too.
"Mommy doesn't understand us, right my little ginger?" Owen kissed Helen's covered with sunscreen nose.
"We are going to build a castle" Helen said and sat on the sand, Owen joined her while Amelia was watching them.
"So it's going to be your castle, princess Heli?" Owen asked while they were working.
"No" she giggled and said like it is obvious "it is a castle for mom, she is the queen".
"Yes indeed" he smiled.
After they build it, half the way through Helen got bored.
"I want to go to the water" she announced dramatically, standing up.
"Are you sure? There are Jellyfish in there?" Owen was determined to not get in the water.
"Jellyfish?" Helen sounded excited "are they strawberry?"
"Yes Owen are they?" Amelia was happy that Owen failed intimidating their daughter.
"No, they are animals that…" Owen tried to be not scary about it "they can hurt you a little bit".
"But you will protect me, right?" Helen asked with innocent eyes pointed at Owen.
"Yes, always" Owen was touched.
"Mommy are there sharks in the water?" Helen looked up at she was putting a life buoy on her.
"No, of course not" Amelia kissed her forehead.
"I wanted to swim with a shark" the girl looked sad "I don't want to go to the water" she took the life buoy off and sat on Amelia's chair.
"So we are not going?" Owen looked too happy,
"No" Amelia was mad so she decided to take Owen's chair leaving him standing in the sun.
"come on, you can't do it" Owen looked at Amelia, for one second he thought to get her up but he decided he doesn't want to die here.
"Heli sweetie, do you want some watermelon?" Owen changed his tactic.
"No thank you daddy" Helen took the sunglass her mom gave her and copied her putting them on too.
"if you won't let me sit in the shadow I will get all freckled" he noted.
"Good, I love your freckles" Amelia smiled and looked at him with mischievous eyes.
Owen looked at them, his women.
They were sitting with crossed legs, their noses pointed at the sky and their eyes covered with sunglass covering one of the little things Helen got from her mom, her eyes. Like that they looked so similar, beside Heli's red hair that looked almost golden in the sun and Amelia's dark curls.
Owen looked at them for a few second more and then just laughed, reaching for his phone to take a picture of them.
