"Sorry I know I'm late" Ben says as he runs down across the beach in swim trunks and a tee shirt with his shoes in his hand as he comes up on Sammy and Edward who are sitting near the edge of the water "the evening shift manager was running late so I had to cover for him for a little while"
"it's fine we were just relaxing wern't we Edward" Sammy says smiling at Edward
"Uncle Carbo gave me some flowers" Edward holding a sand bucket up with some flowers scattered in it
"Did he arrange them for you too?" he says looking in the bucket at the flowers "That looks like some of his best work" he says laughing as Sammy shakes her head at him "So you ready to go?" Ben says looking back at Edward
"Yea" Edward says excitedly as he stands up as Ben extends his hand for him to take as they start to head towards the boats
"I'll see you two later" she says as she stretches out on her beach towel "I'll just be here relaxing" she says with a smile putting her sunglasses back over her eyes
"Yea I'm coming" Nathan says later as he walks down the hallway over to the door as he lets out a yawn as he opens the door
"How are you feeling darling?" Julie says as she walks in first giving Nathan a hug
"I'm feeling better then I have been, I took a pain pill and layed down earlier, didn't realize how late it had got" he says rubbing his eye "I'm not sure if Sammy and Edward are back yet"
"Well I'm back" Sammy as she's the last one to enter the apartment behind the rest of the family "Ben decided to take Edward for pizza before taking him back to his place, I came back while you were asleep and took his night things over" She says kissing Nathan on the cheek
"So who's hungry" Rachel says as she gets the table set as smiles up at everyone standing in the living room
"I am as long as you didn't cook it" Nathan says with a grin, purposly trying to get a rise out of Rachel
"Haha since when are you the comedian of the family" Rachel says looking at him, as he and the rest of the family join them at the table
"And we thought they would outgrow messing with each other the older they got" Dave says looking over at Julie "If you two are done let's eat up"
After dinner as Nathan and Sammy finishing seeing everyone off, as they close the door after the last person Nathan looks at Sammy "We don't have a kid to take care of tonight, don't know what to do now"
"I might have an idea" Sammy says giving him a suspicous grin "technically we were supposed to be on our honeymoon"
Soon after Nathan and Sammy are relaxing in a bubble bath "This was a good decision" Nathan says as he leans his head back against the tub as he wraps his arm around Sammy
"Yea I do have those every once in a while" Sammy says looking at him as Nathan lets out a laugh as she takes a sip of champaign "You remember the last time we did this"
"Your never going to let me live that down are you" Nathan says taking a sigh as he looks at her
"Oh just the time that you broke into the rental property, and we got caught in the bathtub by your boss, and you ended up losing your job, is that the time your refering too" Sammy says looking at him
"Yea, I messed up, I was young and stupid" Nathan says looking at her "things were definatly different back then"
"This time we're in it for keeps though" Sammy says smiling at him "And I love Edward just as much as I love you, but I'm sort of glad Ben has him tonight, gives us more time together"
"Yea just us and the splish splash gang" Nathan says refering to where Edward's bath toys are scattered all around
"Well I think I can take your mind off of them" Sammy says as she slides over closer to Nathan as she starts to kiss him as they start to get more passionate Nathan suddenly lets out a yell "Not a good idea yet"
"No not yet, not till my insision spot heals up more" Nathan says as he tries to relax again
"So I noticed earlier today, and maybe it's nothing but Ben seemed a little distracted when he met us" Sammy says as they settle back down in the bathtub
"Yea now that you mention it he has been acting weird the last couple days" Nathan says looking at her "did he mention why they took flowers to scatter today"
"No he didn't" Sammy says looking at him "But they normally just take them out on special occasions, their wedding date, Mel's birthday and" Sammy stops herself relizing what the occasion is as she turns around to Nathan who has a knowing look on his face
"And the anniversery of Mel's Death" Nathan says with a blank expression on his face
"I almost forgot about that this year" Sammy says looking at him "that explains why he's been trying to keep himself busy, why he's been taking the extra hours at the boat club and why he's been offering to watch Edward
"It's hard to believe how long ago it's been" Nathan says looking at Sammy "But you know this is our time, we'll deal with the Ben issue later, how about we get out of here and do something else we can't do with Edward here"
"What were you thinking?" Sammy says looking at him
"Maybe get out, and watch a movie that's not a cartoon" Nathan says looking at Sammy
"Wow your a crazy man" Sammy says laughing as she gets ready to get out of the bathtub
"Oh yea crazy's my middle name" Nathan says with a laugh as he follows Sammy out of the tub
