Author Note: I can't believe that I am writing this storyline at the last minute but this is what I get for planning at the last minute and fourth of July came up way to fast. I am starting to write this when the girls are in nap time and I am waiting for my mom to get here but if I don't get this done before my mom gets here then I will finished it tonight and get it ready to post tomorrow night. So this is going to be a small sequel to Hope for the future that I just finished today.

Callen walked into the room with all of their favorite snacks. Mackynzie just turned two and Marcus is only four months old. Lauren was sitting down on the floor watching the kids play. It was almost the kids bedtime since there was no way that the kids were going to make it. Callen had helped Mackynzie set off some of sparkers while Lauren and Marcus had watched.

"Daddy, can I please stay up to watch the fireworks on the tv?" Mackynzie asked him

"No baby girl. You need to go to bed. We are going to the lake tomorrow so you need your rest." Lauren responded to her daughter.

"But I want to stay up and hang out with you." Mackynzie pleaded with her parents.

"I know baby girl but you need your sleep." Callen said as he picked up her and headed upstairs. Lauren had put Marcus in his playpen so he could sleep in there tonight while they watched the fireworks. Tweny minutes later, Callen came back downstairs and settled on the couch next to his wife.

"I don't know where she gets the stubborn part of her." Callen responded to his wife. "It must be from her mom."

"Oh so you are blaming me for it." Lauren said to her husband.

"No. I think that it's a prefect mix of me and you." Callen responded to her as he gave her a small kiss.

"Nice save." Lauren responded to him.

They watched the fireworks and were amazed at everything that New York had done since Calforina was going through a fire season right now and they did not want to risk it. They had a great day at the lake the next day.
