"Grammy!"

Tammy ran right up the walkway of her grandmother's house, where Johanna had already opened the front door and was kneeling down with open arms. The little girl jumped into her waiting embrace, resting her head on the older woman's shoulder.

"There's my sweet Tam," Johanna crooned, standing up to her full height and smiling down at the content child. "I'm so happy to see you!"

Tammy picked her head up and grinned at her grandmother. "Me too!"

"Oh man…she's so fast…"

Johanna looked up, while Tammy peered over her shoulder. Tyson was now standing at the gate, bent over as he panted to try and catch his breath.

"Tyson dear, I have a hard time believing you can't keep up with Tammy," Johanna commented with a little giggle.

"I'm not getting any younger," Tyson gasped, straightening himself out.

"No, but you're in excellent shape," Johanna replied.

"My shape doesn't really matter when Tammy has enough energy to last her for days," Tyson groaned.

Tammy beamed up at her grandmother. "I'm fun, Grammy!"

Johanna laughed and rubbed her nose against Tammy's. "Yes you are, beautiful girl!" Pulling away, the woman continued, "You know what? I have a very special surprise for you inside! Would you like to go see what it is?"

"Yeah!" Tammy squealed.

With a smile, Johanna waved towards her son-in-law and beckoned, "well then, everybody inside!"

Tyson followed his wife's mother into her childhood home, walking into the kitchen where she was busy messing with something on the counter. Leaning forward, Tyson realized that the Johanna was pouring a pink beverage from a pitcher into glasses. He placed Tammy in a chair at the kitchen table and reached over for one of the glasses, thanking as she did so. Johanna then placed the glass in front of Tammy, whose eyes lit up as soon as she saw it.

"Strawberry lemonade?!" Tammy squealed.

Johanna giggled and nodded her head. "Yes! I know how much you love it, Tam!"

"Yay!" Tammy cheered, grabbing the glass and taking a big gulp of the lemonade inside.

"Tammy, what do you say?" Tyson asked patiently.

Tammy put the glass back down and grinned at her grandmother. "Thank you!"

"Of course, anything for my little sweetheart!" Johanna replied cheerfully. "There's plenty more where that came from, so drink as much as you'd like."

Not having to be told twice, Tammy raised the glass to her lips again and continued to drink. With a smile, Johanna turned to her son-in-law and asked, "Would you like a glass too?"

"Yeah, that'd be great!" Tyson replied. "Thanks, Jo."

She grabbed another glass, handing it over to Tyson.

"So, dear, how are things?" Johanna questioned, as she took a seat next to Tammy with her own glass of lemonade.

"They're okay," Tyson sighed. "Could be better, though."

Johanna frowned and gave another glance towards the table. Tammy was busy enjoying her lemonade, and Johanna felt comfortable leaving the little girl that way.

"Why don't you and I be alone for a little while?" Johanna asked.

Tyson, knowing exactly what his mother was up to, quickly agreed with a nod of his head. "Tam, Grammy and I are going to sit in the living room. Don't cause any trouble in the kitchen, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy," Tammy chirped.

The two adults made their way to the next room, taking a seat on the couch. Tyson put his glass of lemonade down on the coffee table in front of them and sighed, resting his head in his hands.

"It's Hilary, isn't it?" Johanna murmured, picking up a coaster and sliding it beneath her Tyson's glass.

"Yeah," Tyson grumbled. "She's still struggling with not having Alan and Van at home. I feel bad. It's hard for all of us, but Hilary's definitely been hit the worst. I've started to come up with different ways to distract her and try to keep her positive, but it's not always easy."

"Understandably," Johanna replied. "It's difficult when the children you've been raising for years aren't living with you anymore. I know I had a hard time when Hilary left on your Tours."

"And now I get why," Tyson grunted, leaning back against the couch. "But for Hilary, I think it's been worse lately because Mother's Day is coming up. It'll be her first one without the kids at home."

"Ah, I see," Johanna breathed. "That does make a lot of sense."

"I want to do something special for her," Tyson continued. "I mean, I always do. But especially now. I have to do something that will really give Hilary a reason to feel happy."

"Perhaps you should take her somewhere for the weekend," Johanna suggested. "Someplace nice and relaxing where can take her mind off of everything! I would be happy to watch Tammy for the two of you."

"It's not a bad idea, but I'm afraid if I try and keep her away from Tammy on Mother's Day, she'll claw my eyes out," Tyson sighed, only half joking.

"Oh, good point," Johanna remarked, not at all phased by her son's assumption.

"I always buy her jewelry and stuff, but I don't think that's good enough this year," Tyson continued. "A necklace or a pair of earrings aren't going to bring the kids home, after all."

"No, but I'm sure she'd appreciate it regardless," Johanna responded. "Hilary knows how much you love and care for her. Anything you do will mean a lot to her."

"I know, but I really want to do something different," Tyson groaned.

Johanna hummed and tilted her head in thought. "Well…if you want to do something memorable, something that will make Hilary happy, and you don't want to separate her from Tammy…why don't the three of you just go somewhere together?"

Tyson's eyes widened. "That's…not a bad idea, Jo."

"I thought it was pretty good," Johanna hummed, taking a sip of her lemonade.

"But where could we go?" Tyson wondered aloud, furrowing his brow. "We can't go away for too long. Hilary and I can't miss that much work. It has to be somewhere kind of close. But I don't want it to be boring…"

"Hawaii."

Tyson turned his head to look at his mother. "What?"

"Hawaii," Johanna repeated. "She loves there. Plus her cousin has a beach house in Hawaii. Why don't you just ask them if you can use it for the weekend? You wouldn't have to spend any money to stay there, but you could take her out to a very nice dinner, maybe some shopping. They have some lovely little boutiques there! Not to mention the beach. I'm sure both Hilary and Tammy would love to spend some time there!"

"That does sound nice…" Tyson murmured, rocking his head from side to side.

"You could always get her a gift and give it to her there," Johanna continued. "If you plan on spoiling her like usual, of course."

Tyson let out a low chuckle. "Yeah, the usual."

Johanna smiled and stood up from the couch. "It's ultimately your decision, but I think if you're looking to do something special, that's a very good option."

"No, I agree!" Tyson nearly squeaked, jumping to his own feet. "I wouldn't have thought of it myself. Thanks, Johanna. I can always count on you!"

Johanna's smile widened as she nodded her head. "Don't mention it, dear! You know I'll always be there for you."

Tyson blushed slightly as he followed his mother-in-law back to the kitchen. Tammy was still sitting at the table, although her glass was empty.

"I see the lemonade was a big hit!" Johanna laughed, gaining the attention of her young granddaughter. "Would you both like some more?"

"Yes please!" Tammy chirped

''Sure.''

Johanna giggled and collected the glasses, bringing them back over to the counter for their refills. While she was busy with that, Tyson pulled a chair out next to her daughter and sat down, earning a curious glance from the little girl.

"Tam, I've got an idea for what we can do for Mommy for Mother's Day," Tyson began, causing her eyes to light up.

"Really?" Tammy gasped. "What is it, Daddy?"

"What do you think if the three of us went to Hawaii for the weekend?" Tyson asked. "We could take Mommy shopping, and out to eat, and go to the-"

"The beach?!" Tammy squealed, cutting her father off as she nearly jumped out of her seat.

"Yeah, the beach," Tyson chuckled, shaking off his surprise. "Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth, pumpkin!"

"I always know what you're going to say, Daddy," Tammy replied. "We've got the same brain, right? That's what Mommy says!"

Tyson chortled deeply. "Yeah, that's what Mommy says. So, do you think she'd like that?"

Tammy emphatically nodded her head.

"Are you just saying that because you'd like it?" Tyson asked with a smirk.

"Nuh uh!" Tammy cried. "I mean it! Daddy, you and I have the same brain, but Mommy and I like the same things. So that means if I like it, she'll like it too!"

"Okay, okay, I believe you," Tyson snickered.

"Mommy would like it a lot," Tammy reiterated, nodding her head more slowly. "It's a good idea!"

"I'm glad you think so," Tyson commented. "Grammy came up with it!"

Tammy whipped her head around, her onyx eyes following her grandmother as she carried the refilled glasses back to the table. "You did, Grammy?"

"I suppose I did," Johanna replied rather sheepishly. She never liked to brag and became bashful whenever she ended up receiving an abundance of praise. "But I just wanted to help Daddy come up with the best present for your mommy! He wanted to do something very special. Isn't that so nice of him?"

"Yeah," Tammy murmured. "It is nice! It's cause Daddy really loves Mommy."

Tyson broke out into a huge grin. "Yes, I really love Mommy."

"Me too," Tammy squeaked before grabbing her glass and chugging the lemonade out of it. Tyson and Johanna exchanged glances before bursting out laughing, causing Tammy to look up with a raised eyebrow. "What? What's so funny?"

As soon as Tyson presented his plan to Hilary, her eyes widened.

"Really?" She asked almost breathlessly. "A trip to Hawaii?"

"I thought it'd be nice, and fun," Tyson replied, gently shrugging his shoulders. "Well, actually, it was your Mom's idea. I think it's great! But if you'd rather stay here-"

"Oh no, I'd love to go out there!" Hilary interrupted him. "Your mother always has the best suggestions! I would never turn down a chance to go to Hawaii. Besides, it might be good to get away from here for a little while."

Tyson just nodded his head, knowing exactly what Hilary meant. "Then that's what we'll do! I have other presents for you too, but you're not going to get those until Mother's Day."

Hilary smirked. "More? Tyson, you really spoil me."

"Well, you deserve it," Tyson countered with his own big smile. "And don't say you don't! Because you won't win that argument."

"Normally I'd disagree with you, because I'm the master at winning arguments," Hilary snickered. "But I know better than to challenge you about…well…me."

Tyson grinned and nodded his head. "Glad you understand. Now, let's get packing!"

"The better," Hilary breathed, her smile softening. "Thank you, Tyson. I love you."

Tyson chuckled and wrapped his arms around his wife. "I love you too."
