Nathan and his daddy were out on a boys day out with team one on one of their rare day off. Which left both Ava and Jules at home. Sam insisted he wanted to stay at home but Jules insisted that he was still a man and even he needed some guy time even if their five month old went with them. Team One Clark and Dean were going to a car show convention.

Jules had even packed Nathan's snug rider knowing Sam would rather carry Nathan next to him rather than in a stroller where something could happen. Being a father was Sam's love and passion.

Jules had just finished cleaning up after Ava and was gonna take Ava to their backyard and have a dip in their pool. Jules was still nursing nathan and Ava but she was slowly starting to introduce them to food.

Ava was a messy eater and she loved it. Ava loved eating with her hands and so did her entire body. Jules had started to have fo feed Ava in just her diaper. Regardless of how much Jules tried to keep her clean, Ava always dipped her fingers into her mashed potatoes, carrot puree or whatever her mom was feeding her and she would get it in her pretty blonde hair and even on the bottom of her feet. She would also do motor sounds and spit all her food at her mommy, which Jules found adorable at first and Sam though it was funny because it never happened to him. Jules also hoped that Nathan wouldn't pick up on Avas habit and start doing the same with his food.

Jules finished tidying up the kitchen and removed Ava from her high chair.

"Lady bug, why can't you be my clean baby? You ready for the pool?" Jules cooed and started a one sided conversation with her daughter while heading up to her bedroom to rinse Ava off and changed herself and Ava into their bathing suits . Before they headed out Jules applied sunscreen to ava ans herself.

Once she was done with Ava, jules opened up her backdoor to her backyard and walked over to the shack to retrieve Ava's floating boat.

The water was fresh, Ava loved water just as much as she loved getting dirty. Jules carefully placed Ava into her floaty that was completely safe.

...JAM...

Jules had been completely opposed to the floaty. A million things went through her mind about what could possibly go wrong.

"Sam no! hold him, I dont trust that thing" Jules exclaimed

"Babe its fine, do you really think I would let something happen to our little monkey" Sam responded then walked over and kissed Jules lightly on the lips.

"no" Jules replied guilty of having had not trusted Sam as a father.

Nathan was only a three months old and Sam had being dying to get both babies into the pool. Jules had told him for now only Ava could join him because she was older. But Sam insisted and Jules caved and that killed her ans spiked her nerves about everything that could wrong. Like the boat flipping over or Nathan slipping out.

...Flashpoint...

Jules watched as Ava kicked her feet happily. She was glad that both her kids loved the water.

"You love the water don't you lady bug... You look just like your daddy you know...I love you Ava, I'm not your biological mother but I wish I was because I love you so much! Please don't ever doubt that. I love you and your little brother and your daddy." Jules told her daughter as tears ran down her face hoping that deep down Ava would understand that regardless of her paternity she was her daughter and no matter what that she loved her with all her heart and would do anything for her.

Jules cell phone ran and Jules had to pull Ava out of her floaty to answer the call. Ava immediately cried at the top of her lungs but no matter what Jules would never risk leaving her daughter unattended in the water while she answered a call.

"I know Lady bug, but im sure its daddy"

"hey babe" Sam said after Jules answered his call.

"hey, how's it going" Jules asked

"great, we should be heading home soon. Why's Ava crying" sam asked concerned when he could hear his daughter crying.

"Oh were in the pool and when I pulled her out to talk to you she lost it" Jules explained to sam while bouncing Ava on her hip.

"Oh my poor baby, well in that case we love you and go get Ava back in the water, we'll be home shortly."

"bye, see you when you get home. Give kisses to monkey from me" Jules asked

"of course, and I send you and our little lady bug tons of hugs and kisses" sam responded by asking Jules the same thing.

They both hung up at the same time and Jules walked back into the water with ava and placed her in her floaty.

Ava squealed with delight when she felt the coolness of the water surround her little body.

About an hour later Ava was visibly getting tired. So Jules pulled her out of her floaty without any hesitation from Ava, Jules sat on the pool step and rocked Ava back and forth to sleep. Ava had other plans so she tugged at Jules bathing suit top. Jules knew exactly what Ava wanted so she let Ava latch onto her.

Ava soon fell asleep in her mothers arms.

When Sam arrived he hoped that Jules was still in the pool with Ava, he had been dreaming about the pool since his talk with Jules earlier. So when he saw Jules cradling Ava to her chest in the pool he knew he was going for a dip.

"Hey babe, I'm back" Sam said as he leaned down to kiss his beautiful wife.

"I see, hows our little man?"

"Not tired! He pretty much slept the entire time. He missed all the action"

"Thats our boy." Jules exclaimed as she reached up to grab Nathan from Sam.

"Let me take him to go get changed with me that way you wont gave both in arms" sam said as he stood up and headed inside.

When Sam returned Jules was laying under the umbrella on a lounge chair with Ava on her chest.

Sam walked into the pool carrying Nathan against his chest.

The rest of their afternoon was spent in the pool and even Sam had decided to barbeque outside and make it their family's first at home barbecue with just them and their adorable kid
