They were spending the weekend at the cabin. It had snowed a few inches the night before and the girls were making a snowman.

"Daddy! Daddy! Needs nose!" Caroline wrinkled her own nose.

"Daddy has a carrot." Ty held it up and handed it to his youngest daughter. He picked her up, "Put his nose on."

"I get to put his scarf on." Jade said. Caroline smushed the carrot into the snow.

"Very good!" Caroline clapped her hands. Jade stood on her tiptoes and flung the scarf around the snowman. Meanwhile, Alex was snapping off tons of pictures, "Oooh pretty."

"We make good snowmen." Jade said, "High five."

"High five." The girls did a high five. Alex chuckled and smacked Jade's butt.

"Come on. Let's get your Pjs on and get you in bed." She picked Caroline up.

"Goodnight, ladies." Ty said going to the garage.

"Night Daddy." Jade said as they went inside, "Momma, can we have pancakes when we get up?" Alex nodded.

"Of course, Ladybug." She said going to the bedroom. Alex started to strip Caroline. "Get dressed."

"I tired." Caroline yawned as Alex pulled the blue nightgown over her head.

"I know. Get into bed." She said. Jade crawled into bed and Caroline crawled in next to her sister, "Good night."

"Night, Mommy." Caroline said softly. Alex kissed each of her girls and went back downstairs. She stepped outside and looked at Ty.

"Tyrone Davis, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Pitching up a tent." He said throwing the material out. It popped into a tent. Alex laughed loudly.

"You're nuts." She said, "It's freezing out here." He held up a sleeping bag.

"We have this and body heat." He said. Alex smiled softly.

"Body heat, eh?" She asked him. Ty nodded and extended his hand.

"Come on." He took her hand. Ty brought it up to his lip and kissed it tenderly. He kissed each fingertip. It caused Alex to shiver.

"But it really is too cold out here, Ty." She whispered softly.

"You've been stuck in a freezer. You can handle this." Ty said.

"It was a broken freezer." Alex smirked.

"Let's make love by the river in the tent." Ty said, "Have you ever done that before?" Alex bit her lip and shook her head.

"No. It's pretty romantic I think." Alex said.

"I know it is." Ty said leading her into the tent. The sleeping bags were laid out nicely. Alex's eyes sparkled.

"How long has it been since we've made love" She asked him.

"A few weeks." He said, "We've been too busy."

"Well, we'll definitely be busy tonight, Sweetheart." Alex chuckled as she sat down on the bottom of the tent. Ty sat next to her.

"May I undress you?" He asked. Alex smiled shyly and nodded.

"Of course." She whispered. Ty's hands moved over the button of her jacket. He had the gentlest touch Alex had ever known.

"I love you so much, Alex." He said as he pulled her jacket off.

"I love you too." Alex whispered as he slipped his hands beneath her shirt. She forgot all about the snow and coldness suddenly. Ty leaned down and kissed his wife's neck. Alex groaned loudly. This night they spent together was utterly wonderful. Being so close in the snow by the river was utterly romantic for Alex. This had to be one of the best love making sessions Alex had ever had.

Alex curled up in bed. She had been so tired the past couple of days. She needed a few hours of rest with no kids screaming or bleeding patients. Caroline toddled into the bedroom and crawled into bed next to her mother. Her tiny had patted her cheek.

"Momma, wake up." She said. Alex opened one of her eyes.

"Why?" She asked.

"Cuz I love you." Caroline said. Alex smiled and closed her eyes. She started to snore loudly. Caroline giggled, "Momma, up!"

"Momma is sleeping, Cricket." Alex snored even louder.

"NO!!! UP!!!" Caroline squealed. "Wanna pay!!"

"You want to play?" Alex opened up her eyes. Caroline nodded.

"Peas, Momma." She begged. Alex couldn't help but to giggled. She loved it when Caroline begged. Her eyes grew larger, but not in a sad way. They sparkled with happiness. She loved playing this begging game with Alex.

"I don't know, Cricket. Mommy is mighty tired." Alex said.

"Peas!" Caroline moaned, "I give candy." Alex laughed.

"You'll give me candy if I get up and play with you?" She asked.

"Ah huh." Caroline smiled.

"In that case…" Alex got out of the bed and rushed out of the room. Caroline gasped and ran after her.

"MOMMA!! MOMMA!!" Caroline's little feet pounded on the carpet as she ran after her mother. There were no signs of Alex, "Momma? Momma, where you?"

Caroline walked into her bedroom and looked around. Her mother wasn't in there. She sighed and walked to Jade's bedroom.

"Momma?" Caroline peered into the room. She knew Jade got mad when she went in here, but Jade wasn't here today. "Momma?" Alex giggled from beneath Jade's bed. "Momma, Where you?" Alex reached out and grabbed Caroline's foot, "MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!" Caroline screamed.

"Momma got you now, Cricket." Alex pulled Caroline beneath the bed and started tickling her. Caroline laughed hysterically.

"No! No!" Caroline kicked her legs.

"Yes! Yes!" Alex laughed lifting up her daughter's shirt and blew raspberries on Caroline's belly. Caroline squealed louder.

"Alex? Cricket?" Ty walked into the house. Alex's eyes widened.

"Shhh." Alex pressed her finger to Caroline's lips, "Let's scare daddy and Jade." Caroline's eyes brightened with happiness.

"Yeah." She whispered and crawled out from beneath the bed.

"Alex?" Ty walked up the stairs. He could hear giggles coming from Jade's room. So they were playing the scaring game.

"Quiet now, Caroline." Alex whispered pulling Caroline into the closet.

"Cricket?" Ty stepped into Jade's bedroom. Alex nodded and the two of them burst out of the closet, yelling, "AHH!!!" Ty fell onto the bed clutching his chest, "You scared me!!"

"Scared you!" Caroline giggled wildly and jumped onto the bed.

"You scared to poo out of me, Cricket." He said. Alex grinned.

"Well, that's what we were supposed to do. It worked." She winked picking Caroline up, "Did you and Jade have a fun time?"

"Of course." He said getting up off the bed, "She's watching TV right now, but I'm sure she'd love to tell you all about it."

"Great." Alex smiled walking downstairs and into the living room.

"Did you and Cricket have a good time together?" Ty asked.

"Oh yes. I scared the poo out of her." Alex chuckled sitting on the couch next to Jade. She smiled softly. She loved having these moments with her family, even if they were ridiculous.
