Aaron smiled as he watched the small blond boy in front of him bow before an elder they had just passed. They were strolling out along the deck, the boy in his best jumper while Aaron walked behind him in his grey suit he had been wearing earlier. "So what do you want to do today, son? There's so many things we can do on this ship."

The small boy shook his head before turning to face the older man behind him. "I dunno daddy."

The older man grinned before bending down and lifting the four year old onto his hip. "Jack, we're on this huge ship! We can do almost anything you want."

Jack laid his head down onto his father's shoulder, his fingers softly poking the older man in the neck. "Can we go and eat bread?"

Aaron's laugh was loud, causing him to apologize to an older couple that rudely turned his way. "We can go and eat some bread when it's supper time. Alright?"

The blond let out a small pout before huffing. "Ok."

Aaron smiled before laying a kiss to his son's hair. "So how about before that, we go and look at the water. Ok? The sun is about ready to set."

Jack nodded against his father's shoulder and smiled wide when he saw a woman close by. "Daddy look! Me and her are wearin' the same color!"

The man looked over to see young brunette woman sitting in a deck chair, her bright yellow dress stunning his eyes. Then he smiled. He immediately recognized her features and the man she was sitting with. "Emily!"

The brunette turned her head and let a smile cross her face, but she made no move to stand. The older man sitting in the chair beside her had his hand on her leg.

Aaron walked over to the younger woman and set down his son, smiling when he saw her dark eyes shining his way. "It's great to see you again, Emily."

Emily smiled wide, sitting up slightly and letting her back off the chair. "You too, Aaron. I didn't think I'd see you so soon." She turned to the man in the chair beside her and took his tense hand off of her leg, holding it softly in his. "Aaron this is my father, Carlton Prentiss. Daddy this is Aaron."

Carlton nodded to the younger man and squeezed his daughter's fingers. "Good to see you, Aaron." He put on a grin when he saw the little blond boy hugging his father's leg. "And what's the young one's name?"

Jack looked up from the floor and stepped away from his father, reciting a perfectly executed bow for the father and daughter couple before him. "I'm Jackson but my daddy and friends call me Jack."

Emily laughed as she pulled away from her father's hand, throwing her legs over the side of the chair and smiling as she bent her head down to see the little boy. "Oh you are just so cute." She held out a hand. "It's very nice to meet you, Jack. My name is Emily."

"Her name is Emiliana."

Emily sent a glare to her father before turning and nodding to both Jack and Aaron, feeling Jack's small fingers curl around hers. "But everybody calls me Emily."

Jack nodded ecstatically as he pointed to the woman's dress. "Did you know that we're wearing the same color?" He pointed to the bright yellow shirt he wore underneath his little jumper.

Emily smiled as she nodded to the little boy in front of her. "I do see that now. I guess we were thinking the same thing when we were getting dressed! Great mind think alike, don't they?"

Jack's eyes scrunched as he looked to his father. "Huh?"

Aaron laughed before shaking his head, taking his son and setting him on his hip once again. "So Emily, I remember saying that I'd take you to dinner one night. To make up for greeting you in such a harsh manner."

Carlton's eyes immediately hardened as he sat up in his seat. "What harsh manner are we speaking of, son?"

Emily immediately shook her head, her eyes turning to her father's. "Daddy calm down. He bumped into me when we were boarding the ship at the same time."

"I would never hurt her intentionally, sir."

Carlton nodded slowly before pulling his daughter up to stand with him. "Alright." He bent down and kissed Emily's forehead, his lips pausing at her dark hairline. "I'm going to go and have dinner with a colleague, alright? You go and have some fun with Jack and Aaron."

Emily gave a small smile before nodding, her fingers itching to rub her sore backside as her father walked away.

"So, shall we find somewhere?"

The brunette looked up to the older man and smiled before dusting off Jack's small shoulder. "Yes. Please."
