A/N: I lied, the end isn't coming soon! I wrote this chapter while day dreaming bout the Bahamas. I've been there, and am bugging to go back. So pretty there! I've never been to the Atlantis, wish I have, but we aren't that rich! Anywho, read on!
Vacation Time:
Ashley's POV:
My God, the Bahamas are beautiful! The water is a turquoise blue green mix, and the sand is pure white! I seriously think this is what Heaven looks like! John and I had spent the first two days in our room, and occasionally we chilled out in the pool. The Atlantis has an awesome pool, which even has a few water slides! One of the slides goes right through an aquarium! Well, you see the aquarium through glass, but it's still cool! I was planning on spending the next day working on my tan. I desperately needed a good tan! John mostly hung out nearby me, so we lounged on beach chairs at the beach, for the whole day. This vacation was extremely relaxing! I did end up in the ocean, thanks to hurricane John! He decided to wake me by carrying me to the ocean. It wasn't cold, which was nice. We splashed around in the ocean for a bit, until I decided to go back up to the room to clean up. John followed behind, and needless to say, we didn't leave our room for the rest of the night!
I really wanted to go to the Straw Market, but I promised Stacy that we'd go together, and leave the men to watch the kids! It was going to be our girl's day out. I think I'll bring Sydney with me, she enjoys shopping just as much as I do! I got my hair braided! It was the whole head, and it hurt pretty badly. Those ladies enjoy pulling out their customer's hair I think!
While I was lying out on the veranda connected to our room, I saw some people Para-sailing. It looked really fun, even though I'm petrified of heights! I called John out, and pointed it out to him. He agreed to go with me, and we went and booked it! An hour later, I was strapped next to John, to a harness thing that's somehow connected to the Para-sail. It was when the boat started to take off, that I started getting scared. What if the rope broke? I mean, it's pretty small, considering what it has to hold on to! The guy was in the middle of explaining something, when he suddenly stopped and said, "Have a fun trip!" with that, we took off! It was pretty scary at first, but once we wee up in the air, it was so peaceful. I felt like I was in a Zen state! John kept looking down, and saying, "Gosh we're high up!" I think that he was a little scared of heights! What a baby! The ride was over way too soon, and we got dipped into the ocean, and then pulled back up onto the boat!
"John that has got to be the coolest thing that I've ever done! We gotta take Syd up here!"
"Umm, I don't know. Do you think she'll get scared? I mean, it's pretty high up!"
"John, you are such a wimp. Ya think you're a big bad tough guy, but you're scared of a little Para-sail! Syd will love this! I'm definitely taking her, even if it's by myself!"
"Hey, I'm not scared! I just was worried about Syd, that's all!"
"Sure big guy, you keep telling yourself that!" I said as I leaned in and kissed him.
We headed back to the hotel, and then decided to go dancing! The hotel has a great band, and it was really cool to dance on the beach, under the stars! I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic! Tonight was John and my last undisturbed night of the vacation. Tomorrow morning, Randy, Stacy, and the kids would be here. We made the most of it, with a bottle or two of wine, and the nice soft hotel bed!!
I woke up with John's arm draped over me. I looked at the alarm clock, and it read 12:30. Oh crap, their plane got in two hours ago!
"John, baby, you got to get up. We missed their plane. It was due in two hours ago!"
"Huh, oh shit. Hurry up and get dressed. Maybe it's late!"
"Yea, hopefully! I was in the middle of putting my braided hair up when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to find Randy, holding Josh and Winsor.
"Good morning sunshine! Sleep well?"
"Randy, I'm so sorry we missed your plane! Where are Stacy and Syd and little Jason?"
"They are in our room, which is right next to yours! Our plane got in early! We've been here since 3 A.M. By the way, nice braids."
"Oh, really. And your room is right next to ours?"
"Yup. Do you and John ever keep your hands off each other? At least you two didn't wake up the kids, but I swear, it was like listening to a porno all night long! I thought the bed was gonna break!" Randy said, trying not to crack up.
"Randy, are you serious? Oh gosh, this is embarrassing!"
"What's embarrassing Ash? Oh, hi Randy. Give me my babies!" John said as he reached for Josh and Winsor. He really loved being a daddy!
"Oh, just the fact that Randy were listening to us in their room all night. Let us know next time you two are being nosey, we might just charge!"
"They heard everything last night? Oh, sorry man!" John said, smiling.
"Randy, where is Sydney?"
"She's with Stacy. They are getting ready to hit the pool. Well, I got to get back next-door to get Jason. You two, I mean four, should meet us down there. See ya later!" Randy said as he turned to head to his room. I smiled and shut the door. Gosh, I have perverted friends! I looked over to the bed where John was lying, playing with the babies. I couldn't help but smile!
"John lets go down to the pool! Get the twins while I change!"
"Ok babe! We will be right here!"
I quickly changed, and put tons of sunscreen on Josh and Winsor. I got them in their water diapers, in case I got brave and let them go swimming. John was already changed and waiting for me. I handed him Josh, and we headed down to the pool.
"Mommy, daddy! Uncle Randy took me on the water slide!" Syd said as me and John reached the pool. She got out and came over and gave each of us a big hug.
"Hey baby! I missed you! Were you good for grandma and grandpa?"
"Uh Huh, we had fun! Daddy, come swimming with me!" Syd nagged John.
"You gonna be ok Ash?"
"Yea, you two go have fun! I'll sit here and watch!"
"Ok, yell if you need me!" John said as he picked up Syd and then jumped into the pool. I laughed as I watched him throw her in the air, and as Randy caught her. Stacy soon joined me next to the pool.
"Hey Ash! So, you must be tired today!" she said as she winked at me.
"Gosh Stace, do you and Randy have to keep rubbing that in?"
"Yupp! You are looking tanner! So, did you have fun?"
"Yea, this week's been great! Me and John needed it, with the three kids, and him traveling, we don't get much alone time!'
"Yea, I know what you mean. So, when are we going to the Straw Market? I can't wait to go shopping!"
"Whenever you want. Just let me know. I went Para-sailing. It's so cool! You and Randy have to do that while you're here!"
"Oh, he already made an appointment. He saw it this morning, and didn't even consult me."
"John was scared of the height! He's a wimp!"
"I heard that Ash!" John shouted from the pool!
"You were supposed to, WIMP!" I yelled back to him. Stacy just shook her head and laughed.
"Hey, let's go sit on the steps with the babies! They'll like the water!"
"Ok, just as long as we don't get splashed!"
Next Day:
Stacy and I were going shopping today, it was 9 A.M. and she was going to be here in ten minutes. We were leaving the kids in the hands of our husbands. I decided not to take Syd, since I had a feeling that Stacy and I were going to be out all day long!
"John, Stacy's here. I'm leaving now. Please, watch the kids today! I don't want to come home and find anyone missing!"
"Ash, you worry too much! Randy and me can handle it. Go have fun and spend my money."
"Aww, thanks I will baby!"
"I was kidding there Ash, love you."
"Love you too! Bye baby!" I said as I gave him a quick peck on the lips. I met Stacy outside the door, and we were off to the famous Straw Market!
The straw market is one of the coolest places on earth! We got back to the hotel at 7:30 that night. I kind of felt bad leaving the guys alone with the kids for that long, but they could handle it! We walked into my room, and found Randy, John, and the kids all sleeping. The babies were in their crib, randy was sprawled out on the couch, and Sydney was nestled up next to John. It was so sweet looking that I got my camera out and snapped a picture of the two of them. John woke up right after the camera flashed, and grinned sheepishly at me.
"Welcome back! Have fun?"
"Tons. Seems like you're all tired out. I'm beat too. I looked over at the couch, and noticed that Stacy had already curled up next to Randy. He hadn't even woken up yet! I decided to join John and Sydney, and crawled in between the both of them. I wrapped my arm around Syd, and fell asleep. We all slept through the night, until five A.M. rolled around and the babies started howling. I realized that Stacy and Randy had stayed in our room all night, which was pretty funny. Stace and I got up to take care of our babies. John decided to be nice, and took Winsor. Soon they were asleep again, so Stacy and Randy went back to their room. We were checking out this morning.
Our two weeks was up way to soon. We checked out of the hotel, and got on the plane to go home. I was kind of sad to leave, but then again I was happy to be going home. Over all it was a great vacation, and I had a blast. It's going to be hard to go back to the real world! I knew that once we got back, John would be back on the road. Luckily, school was almost out, so the kids and me would be joining him. I couldn't wait to get back out on the road. I really did enjoy traveling and being out on the road! Only a few more weeks…
