The men walked inside.

Margaret sat at the table with Jacob. She smiled when she saw her sons. She grinned "I'd hug you but I'm kind of dirty."

They laughed when they saw glitter all over her hands.

Henry said "I thought you were supposed to be decorating the paper not yourself."

Margaret narrowed her eyes but smirked "shut up Henry! I knocked it over by mistake."

Henry grinned "and women say men never clean up their messes!"

Margaret blew some glitter in his direction and he laughed.

"Real mature Ma!"

Margaret grinned "oh leave us alone. We're having fun."

Henry smirked and kissed his mom's head. He said "I'm going upstairs. I'll be right back."

Margaret went back to playing and Fred stared at her. She tended when she felt eyes on her. She looked up and smirked "sorry. Did you want to play to?"

He laughed "no I'm good. It's nice to see you so happy."

She smiled.

Fred said "do you still have it?"

She scrunched up her face and said "have what?"

He whispered "the album?"

She sat up straight and swallowed. She looked at him and nodded "I pulled it out just the other day. It's one of my prized possessions Frederick. It meant the world to me."

He smiled brightly.

She said "why do you ask?"

He shrugged "Henry and I got into it. I accidentally told him what happened between you and dad during the Paris trip."

Her eyes widen "oh no."

Fred said "he was upset but more hurt than anything. Once I explained everything I think he was okay."

She nodded "good."

Fred smiled "so are you excited?"

Margaret smiled brightly "very! I can't believe I finally get to see the ocean!"

Fred smiled "I think it's great you finally get to go on a vacation!"

Jacob looked up "you've never been on a vacation?"

Margaret tensed and said "no honey."

Jacob didn't think much of it and went back to his art work. Margaret was relieved that he didn't question her.

Margaret and Fred talked to each other until Henry and Lucille returned.

Fred said "oh I forgot to tell you. Maggie wanted me to tell you that she won't be able to watch the dogs during the day with work so I'm taking them home with me. Liz and I will be able to keep and eye on them."

The women nodded.

Lucille sighed in relief "I feel much better with you and Liz helping her."

Fred laughed "you don't trust my kid with your precious babies?"

Lucille glared at him "she's horrible when it comes to animals. When she was 11 her fish tried to jump out of the bowl Fred! A dog is to big to flush and he's be missed more."

Fred laughed "she's more responsible now."

Lucile stared at him and he smirked "okay okay. I'll check on the dogs everyday."

Lucille didn't look convinced.

He sighed "do you want me to take them to my house? Liz can keep an eye on them for me until I get off."

Lucille smiled brightly "would you?"

His face fell "it was a joke!"

Lucille stuck her lower lip out and he groaned "oh for god sakes it's just a dog!"

Her eyes began to water. He huffed and said "for crying out loud! I'll watch them."

Lucille wiped her eyes and smiled. In a happy voice she said "thanks Fred!"

Fred frowned and looked at Henry who was laughing. He said "what just happened?"

Henry chuckled and said "you just got played! Now you know why I can't say no to her."

Fred sighed "women!"

That night Lucille was in bed looking at the ceiling. She heard Henry come out of the bathroom and climb into bed. He pulled the sheets up and moved closer to her. He kissed her cheek.

"You okay?"

She whispered "fine."

He raised his eye brow and said "doesn't sound like you are to me. What's the matter? You're supposed to be excited about tomorrow."

She sighed and turned over to face him "I am."

He said "but?"

She said "I'm still nervous about you guys leaving Arcadia and I keep thinking back to when Jacob was little...I mean he's still little...but he's back now..."

He covered her mouth with his finger "shh. I know what you mean but continue."

She smiled slightly "remember how we planned on taking Jacob and Maggie to Disney world? Maggie was really little but she still would've had fun. Jacob never got the chance to go because he..."

She choked up and buried her face in his chest. He held her tight while she cried.

"Shhh. It's okay baby. We have him back now and we get the chance to take him. He's going to love it! You've seen how excited he is and we haven't even left yet."

Her tears slowed down.

He smiled and kissed her head "just try not to think about the bad stuff. We're here now. We can make new memories."

She sniffled and nodded.

He said "what's the first thing you want to do in Florida?"

She looked at him and grinned.

He laughed "besides that you dirty girl!"

She giggled "I don't know."

He said "well, our hotel is right in front of the beach. We could take a walk along the shore."

She smiled "we're right by the ocean?!"

He laughed "I thought you might enjoy that. Yes we are and we have a balcony so we can enjoy the view as well."

She held his chin between her fingers and rubbed it. She said "you're too good to me Mr. Langston."

He smiled as she kissed him "you only deserve the best Mrs. Langston. Now go to sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow."

She smiled and snuggled into his arms. He turned off the light and they went to sleep.
