Chapter 1 (I own nothing except Ethan and Quinn)
"Ethan stop running! You're gonna break something! Quinn stop drawing on the wall!" A 27 year old Samara Cook-Fields yelled to her two children who were going ballistic. She was pretty sure her wife gave them sugar before going to the pool and left her to fend for herself. A repeat of what she had done the week before when Emily had to watch them for the whole day.
"Ethan lets go watch SpongeBob!" her three year old daughter screeched happily to her two year old brother who happily accepted the offer and sat down with his sister to watch their favorite cartoon. Samara sighed and sat back down to finish her latest design. She was trying to come up with a spring line for her boutique that she named "Aqua" after her wife's obsession with water. She had until next week Tuesday to finish the line and she had about three more designs to do before it was complete. Seeing as it was Friday she didn't have a lot of time, but she was sure she could do it. She knew that since today was Friday Emily didn't have practice the next day or Sunday and she would look after the kids for her and she would have all day to work.
"Hello?" she heard Hanna call out from by her front door. This happened daily as well. Hanna Marin-Rivers would stop by unannounced with her four year old daughter Ashley so she could play with her two little cousins.
"We're in here Hanna!" Samara called back from the dining room table. Since the dining room and kitchen were connected to the living room she could keep an eye on her kids and do her work at the same time.
"Hey Samara. Where's your wife?" Hanna asked letting go of Ashley's hand so she could go play with Quinn and Ethan.
"At practice as usual." She replied with a knowing smile. "You want some coffee?" She asked standing up to get some.
"Sure. I want to hang out with you today. Caleb is out at another one of those stupid tech conventions thingies and is gonna be gone for a week. I really just want a girlfriend to hang with.
"Not that I'm trying to get rid of you, but what about Spencer and Aria?" Samara asked setting a mug filled with coffee in front of Hanna and sitting down next to her, her designs forgotten.
"Spencer is at work and Aria and Ezra both have the day off and want to spend family time together with Kyle." Hanna said referring to Aria and Ezra's six year old son Kyle.
"Oh. What about Toby?" Samara asked curiously.
"He is at work too." Hanna shrugged.
"Wow so we're the only people on earth that don't have to work." Samara chuckled.
"Well at least you have a job. I'm just a lonely house wife. My husband makes enough money to support us financially so my job is to be boring and sit in the house all day. That is not as fun as it seems." Hanna complained and Samara laughed.
"Yeah well, if it was up to me Emily wouldn't be working either. I don't like having her gone all day knowing that my gorgeous wife is somewhere in a swimsuit for every pervert with eyes to stare at her." Samara said in a very overprotective tone.
"Wow, overprotective much?" Hanna grinned.
"With a wife like Emily I have to be. Women just throw themselves at her feet, and sometimes I can't help but think one day she's gonna realize that she's way out of my league and divorce me for some twenty year old Australian model" Samara vented.
"Are you kidding? Do you want to know what Emily says about you to us when we go out?" Hanna asked and Samara gave her a small nod. "She always talks about how lucky she is to have you, and that you're so great with the kids, and how she thinks you're super sexy. She loves you so much, and I'm sure that she will never ever leave you for a twenty year old Australian model." Hanna told her very seriously. "Now an eighteen year old Australian model I can't make any promises" She joked. Samara laughed.
"Thank you Hanna. I really appreciate you telling me that. It's just that I let my insecurities get the best of me sometimes."
"Well don't! You're a beautiful, married, fashion designing mother of two! If that's not hot I don't know what is!" Hanna smiled. Samara couldn't help but smile back.
"Thanks Hanna. You truly are a great friend. Now I really want to play tickle monster with the kids." Samara giggled.
"Let's do it!" Hanna cheered and they went to go play with their beautiful children.

Emily's POV
As much as I love swimming and competing I really want to go home and spend some time with my wife and kids. I'm really happy that tomorrow is Saturday and I can spend all day with Ethan and Quinn while Samara works on Aqua. My teammates are great and all, but they don't compare in the slightest bit to my family. I love my wife and kids with everything in me and nothing can ever mean more to me than my two wonderful kids and amazing wife.
I climb out of the pool when the coach tells us that we are finished for the day. I'm that practice is over, but I still can't see my family yet considering Samara asked me to go to the grocery store and pick up all the things on the list she gave me. Yes, I am completely whipped when it came to Samara, but do I care? Not at all. I'd rather be whipped than one of those spouses that don't do what their spouse says and they always argue. I just try to make her happy in every way I can.
"Fields! I need to talk to you!" My couch yelled out.
"Yes coach?" I ask walking up to him.
"Your wife is that designer Samara Cook right?" He asked.
"Yes sir, may I ask why?"
"My wife is a huge fan and she asked me to ask you when the spring line is going to be out…" He asked nervously.
I smirked knowing him all too well, "Coach does your wife wanna know or do you want know?" I asked.
"Well, I want to know because I want to buy her a new piece of Aqua for her birthday. I just need to know if it'll be out before her birthday." He blushed.
"When if your wife's birthday?"
"May 14th"
"That's my daughter Quinn's birthday! So it'll definitely be done by then. I actually think the dead line is next Tuesday and the premiere is like three weeks after that. So like April something?" I told him. "Hold on let me call Samara." I pulled out my cellphone and pressed speed dial number one which is Samara's number and the phone started the call. She picked up after the first ring.
"Hello?" She answered laughing and panting.
"Hey sweetie, my coach was wondering when the Aqua spring line is gonna be released."
"Uhhh…..I really don't know. Around April 10 or so…." She answered.
"Okay, thank you. That's all I needed babe. Okay see you soon….Love you too….Bye." and with that we hung up, "So yeah coach, around April 10th."
"Thank you Emily. You really made my job as a husband a lot easier." He chuckled.
"Not really coach. The Aqua spring collection has like eighty pieces in it, and they'll all be extremely stylish so you won't know which to choose. So sorry coach, you have a lot more work to do…" I laughed as he grumbled something under his breath.
"I don't see how you girls do it. When a guy wants an outfit all he looks for is if it fits. We could honestly care less about matching and styles. Comfort is the key with guys." He laughed.
"You guys are so simple, but coach I have to go. I'll see you Monday." I smiled and walked to the locker room to shower and get dressed.

Emily found herself at the grocery store finding all the items that her wife wrote down on list. She already had most of what she needed all she needed now was milk and her kids favorite cereals. As she was turning the corner he basket collided with the another.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Emily heard a familiar voice say and she looked up to see her first love Maya ….
