That afternoon when Chris and Izzy got home...

"Hey, guys," I said, "We got a surprise for you."

"Is it new legos?!" Izzy cried.

"New hotwheels?!" Chris asked.

"No, better," I said, "We're going to the beach this weekend!"

"Doesn't that sound fun?" Eddy asked.

"I like the beach!" Izzy cheered.

"Can I bring a car?" Chris asked.

"You might lose it," Eddy said, "So maybe not."

"Aw," Chris pouted.

"But there's lots of other stuff to do," I said.


(That weekend)

Me and Eddy were helping the kids into their swimsuits. Then we packed everything in our new van, strapped the kids into their car seats and we were off.

We pulled into the parking lot and Eddy grabbed our stuff while I unbuckled the kids.

"We're here!" I sung with a smile. Eddy set the stuff over by the sand. Chris and Izzy bolted towards Eddy as soon as they stepped foot on the ground. I picked up Bellini and Bellino and carried them over. Eddy set up the chairs and took his shirt off. I smiled slightly and took off my purple beach cover. Eddy sat in a chair and put his sunglasses on. I dug into our bag and found Izzy's beach supplies, sand castle making stuff. Eddy looked at me and smiled.

"Need some help?" He asked.

"Well, I need some help putting sunscreen on everybody," I said, pulling out the sunscreen, "And getting their floaties on."

"Okay," Eddy said, standing up. We rubbed sunscreen on the kids and helped Chris and Izzy put their floaties on. Chris had hotwheel floaties and Izzy had MLP floaties. Eddy sat back in the chair and pulled a beer out of the cooler. I did a glaring glance at him. He looked at me.

"What?" He asked.

"You know I don't like you drinking around the kids," I sighed.

"Mommy, I want a juice!" Izzy said. I handed her an apple juice.

"It's just one," Eddy said, "Relax." I shook my head and sighed.

"Fine, but you have to watch the twins," I said, "I'm watching Chris and Izzy."

"Okay," Eddy said.

"Daddy, will you help me build a castle?" Izzy asked. Eddy looked over and smiled.

"Sure," He said. Izzy cheered. Eddy walked over and sat down next to Izzy. Izzy handed Eddy a shovel. He smiled and filled the bucket.

"So, what do you think about a new little cousin, Izzy?" He asked, "Are you excited?"

"Mm hm," Izzy nodded, filling up the castle shape with sand. When she set it down, it all fell. She frowned.

"It's alright, you just need more water," Eddy said.

"Oh," Izzy said. Eddy walked over and got some water, then he came back. Izzy added some water to the sand. Eddy sat with Izzy and helped her fill the bucket. A little girl, about Izzy's age, walked over.

"Hi, I'm Nicole," The girl said, "Can I play with you?"

Eddy smiled and got up.

"Ok," Izzy smiled. The two played for a while before Nazz walked over.

"Nicole Flowerpetal Dorn," Nazz said angrily, "How dare you walk off without telling me!" Nazz picked up Nicole and spotted us. She turned red. Eddy dropped his phone and smiled.

"She's your daughter?" He asked.

"Um, I-I..." Nazz stuttered, blushing intensely. She sighed, "Yeah, she's mine and Kevin's."

Eddy gasped.

"What? Why didn't you tell us?" He asked.

"Kevin didn't want me to," Nazz said, "We didn't mean to have her."

"He forgot to use a condom?" Eddy said, "Trust me, I know someone who can relate."

"A what?" Izzy asked. I glared at Eddy. He blushed and bit his lip.

"Uh, nothing Izzy," He said.

"Ok," Izzy shrugged and went back to her sand castle.

"So tell us, oh great and powerful Oz," Eddy said, "What happened?"

"Well, remember that party in September?" Nazz asked.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Well, we...had a few drinks, and..."

"Oh my God, that's how we had Izzy," Eddy said.

"Except we weren't really drunk," I said, "I don't drink. And wine doesn't count."

"Well, yeah, but I guess it was more of a dare," Eddy said.

"Y-yeah," I nodded, blushing.

"But we're cool," Eddy said.

"Yeah," I said.

"So, how are you guys?" Eddy asked.

"Pretty good," Nazz said, "We moved into the new cul-de-sac a while ago."

"That's cool," Eddy said.

"Hey, babe," Kevin walked over, "Oh, hey, guys."

"What's it to you, Shovelchin?" Eddy said.

"Um, well," Kevin sighed, "I, uh, see you met our daughter..."

"Mm hm," Eddy said, "And I thought you weren't what it takes."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Kevin yelled, balling his hands into fists.

"Relax, it just means that I thought that you were a weenie," Eddy said.

"I'm gonna beat you, dork!" Kevin yelled.

"Kevin, please," I said, "Don't."

Eddy laughed.

"What a snap," He said, "You know what dork means, right?" He laughed even harder.

I blushed slightly.

"I really regret telling you that," I grumbled. Eddy laughed and whispered it into Kevin's ear.

"Dork," He said.

"SHUT IT, SKIPPER!" Kevin yelled. Eddy blushed and slapped Kevin.

"You're the one who started talking," He said. The twins started crying.

"I'LL POUND YA!" Kevin shouted, furious.

"Ok, stop it!" I yelled, "Right NOW!"

"You know what, screw you," Eddy said. He walked away and put his sunglasses on.

"Screw you," Chris copied.

"Eddy!" I cried.

"Aw, sh*t," Eddy mumbled. He looked at Kevin and gave him the finger behind his back. Nazz and Kevin walked off, Nazz carrying Nicole.

"Serves him right," Eddy said.

"Eddy," I said, "Why can't you two just be friends?"

"Because he's a jerk," He said. I sighed. After a few hours, we headed back home, the kids asleep in the back.

"Well, that was surprising," Eddy said.
