The Beach Chapter: I have never been to the beach in California, so sorry if this is inconvenient to people. I just had to go with what I know, I hope you enjoy this little chapter.

The Next Day

"Mommy what are we doing today?" Yuuhei asked

"Well baby, were going to the beach for the day" Yuki replied as he helped tighten Yuuhei's swim shorts

"We get to play in the water?" Yuuhei asked hopeful

"Yes we will baby" Yuuhei jumped for joy. Yuki went to his next child and helped Ken into his swim shorts. Yuki grabbed the swim trunks and knelt down.

"Baby lift this leg up please" Yuki said as he tapped Ken's left leg. Ken put his hands on his mommy's shoulders and raised the leg his mommy tapped

"Okay next foot" Ken put his foot down before lifting the other one up, so Yuki could pull the shorts up around his waist. "Alright all done" Yuki said, Ken and Yuuhei went to the sitting room to look at some books as they waited for everyone to finish.

Kyo was putting on the girls matching pink swimsuits on. Yuki walked over to their diaper bag and made sure everything was there. Beach towels, sunscreen, extra clothes, pull ups, diapers, and anything else they needed for the kids.

"Honey you ready?" Kyo called

"Yea, just checking to see if we got everything" he said as he picked up the bag, Yuki walked to his family standing by the door. Kayla was in Kyo's arms wearing a small hat and some small baby sunglasses.

"Time to head on out" Kyo opened the door and let the kids shuffle out first

"Is uncwl Hau and evebody coming to da beach?" Ken asked

"They might baby, I'm not sure" Yuki replied to his son. They walked over to the elevator and let Yuuhei push the button.

They already had breakfast, so they didn't have to stop and eat; they just went straight to their rental car. Yuki opened the door to the can and helped Yukiko and Ken in first; they went all the way to the back seat and stood in front of the provided car seats. Yuki climbed in after them, and helped them up on the seat and buckled them up. There were four car seats all together, two of them in the back and two of them in the middle seat. Yuki turned around and helped Yuuhei in the car; he climbed into the car seat and waited for his mommy to buckle him in. Kyo opened the other door and placed Kayla in the last car seat

"You're all ready to go" Yuki smiled at his children

"We all weady" smiling faces were shone back at him. Kyo closed the door and walked back around the van, he picked up the diaper bag Yuki had set down and put it in the passenger seat. Kyo helped Yuki out of the van before going back to the other side of the van and climbing into the driver seat.

Before Yuki closed the side door he asked

"Is everybody alright? You need anything?"

"No momma" little voices answered him

"Okay then" Yuki shut the door and climbed into the passenger seat.

Kyo started the car and drove in the direction of the beach.

30 Minutes Later

Kyo and Yuki heard Kayla whimper, so Yuki turned in his seat

"What's the matter baby doll?" he glided his hand down her face. She stuck her thumb in her mouth, but still continued to whimper.

"I think you're tired sweetie" Yuki turned back around and pulled out her binky. He turned around and showed it to her, once she saw it her thumb was out and she opened her mouth wide. Yuki plopped the binky in her mouth, and she began sucking away. Within seconds she fell asleep, before turning back around he noticed his other kids were looking out the windows completely in awe. Yuki turned back around in his seat

"Was she tired?" Kyo asked

"Definitely, she's already asleep" Yuki replied

"How about the others, I'm not hearing much from them"

"They're looking out of the windows"

"Aww I see" Kyo replied with a soft smile on his face. Yuki placed his left hand on Kyo's leg and let it rest there; he turned his body slightly so he too could look out his window.

The Beach

Kyo parked the car in the public parking area. Kyo and Yuki got out of the van and opened the side door. Yuki went to the back to help Ken and Yukiko out of their car seats. Kyo helped Yuuhei out, and once he was out of the van, Kyo opened the passenger side door to grab the diaper bag, all the while Yuuhei holding onto his daddy's hand. Kyo and Yuuhei went to the other side of the van to grab his now awake baby; he placed her on his hip.

Yuki backed out of the van, so his twins could get out; he helped them jump from the van to the ground. He closed the door and grabbed Ken and Yukiko's hands

"Let's go"

"Yea" the three kids cried, and they were off

"Beach beach beach" Yuuhei chanted in a singsong voice. They got to the stairs leading down, Kyo and Kayla first, his three oldest next, and then Yuki bringing up the rear. It was a slow process seeing as it was big steps for such little legs, but luckily there wasn't a lot. The three kids were holding onto the rail as they stepped down so they wouldn't fall.

Once down on the sandy beach Kyo asked

"Where shall we sit?" they looked around, Yuki noticed a spot where there wasn't a lot of people

"How about over there?" he pointed out. Kyo looked and shrugged

"Yea that looks good" it was close enough to the water, but far enough where they wouldn't get wet when a wave came in. They trudged through the sand, when they got to the spot Kyo put the diaper bag down. Yuki crouched down near the bag and pulled out their beach towels, laying all five in close together. Kyo laid Kayla down on the beach towel next to Yuki, so his shadow was blocking the sun from hitting her.

"Daddy can we go pway now?" Yukiko asked

"Not yet baby, we need to put some sunscreen on you first." Kyo got the sunscreen out of the bag and started applying it on them

"We got to make sure your little bodies don't burn huh?" Kyo said

"That would hurt" Yuuhei replied

"Yes it would" and with that he finished putting it on their skin.

"You can go ahead and take off your shoes, while I put some on me" Kyo said as he started rubbing the sunscreen on his skin.

"Kay daddy" all three plopped down on the sand, so they could take off their shoes. Kyo took some sunscreen and rubbed it into Yuki's back underneath his shirt

"I'll do yours quickly" Yuki said. Kyo poured some sunscreen on Yuki's hand, and Yuki rubbed into his husbands back "There you go Mr. Sohma"

"Thank you Mrs. Sohma" Kyo said with a mischievous smile, "Come on lets go play in the water" Kyo called out to his kids before Yuki could reply to his comment. Yuki shook his head in amusement as the four went off running. Yuki picked up the sun tan lotion and began applying it to his baby girl

"Ma Ma" she gurgled, she started giggling when he was putting some on her legs and feet

"Are you ticklish Kay?" he chuckled out. Once he was done with her, he began applying it to himself. He took off his shirt, which revealed a blue bikini top; he was wearing some short jean shorts. Since Kyo already had his back turned to him, he didn't worry about arousing his husband just yet. It wouldn't be good to arouse his husband in a public place or in front of his kids.

Yuki watched his children run to the water and run back screaming when the water came back onto the shore.

They were a little slow when running back the third time, so when the water hit their feet they squealed in delight.

They tried to go out a little further but was stopped by Kyo

"No No, we need to stay right here"

"Why daddy?" Yuuhei asked curiously, Ken and Yukiko waiting for their daddy to respond

"Because if we go too far the water might drag us out to sea, and we wouldn't be able to get back"

"Newe seeing mommy again" Ken said sadly

"If we went out to far" Kyo nodded at his little momma's boy

"We safe hewe?" Yukiko asked

"We are"

"Okay" they said in unison. Kyo grabbed onto Yuuhei's hands and lifted him up when a wave come in, and then plopping him back down in the water.

*Giggle*

"Me next me next" Yukiko jumped up and down

"Okay little girl come here" Yuuhei went to stand next to his excited brother as his sister made it way to their daddy. "Alright ready?"

"Weady" she waited for the wave to come, "Weee" she squealed as Kyo lifted her up

"I want to go build a sand castle" Yuuhei said before running back to Yuki, Yukiko closely following.

"Ken your turn" Kyo said after he made sure the two made it safely back to Yuki. Ken smiled widely at his daddy, as he lifted his arms up

"Ready? Jump" Kyo lifted him up when Ken jumped

*Squeal* "hahaha" Kyo twirled them around before falling into the water, making sure Ken was securely on his chest, and making sure Ken's face wasn't near the water. The water just hit Kyo's back, surrounding his body

"You want to go make some sandcastles now?"

"Yea" Kyo rolled up on his side and pushed himself up with Ken securely wrapped in his arm.

The pair walked up on the beach, Kyo placed Ken down on the ground next to Yuuhei and Yukiko, who were trying to build a sandcastle, but was unsuccessful.

"Well hello there" Kyo smirked at Yuki when he saw his wife wearing his bikini top "Don't you look sexy." Kyo dropped down on all four and crawled to Yuki

"Why thank you" Yuki said before his lips were captured in a kiss

"Oh how I want to get you alone, and have my wicked way with you" Kyo whispered

"Hmmm maybe we should take Kazuma up on his offer about watching the kids for a night"

"He would love that" he leaned in for another kiss "I would love that"

*Chuckle* "I think you might need to help the kids" Yuki suggested when he saw their sandcastle for the umpteenth time

"Haha I guess we'll just have to wait" one last kiss and Kyo was off to help them build a sandcastle.

Meanwhile Yuki picked Kayla up

"Let's go see the ocean pretty girl" he walked towards the ocean, loving the feeling of the soft sand beneath his toes. Yuki placed Kayla down on her feet, and helped her walk to the ocean.

She giggled when the water hit her feet; she started jumping around in the water all the while Yuki holding onto her two hands. They danced together in the water for a little bit, Yuki decided Kayla should have some experience more of the water. He moved them up the beach a little, so only a thin layer of water touched them.

*giggle* "Wa wa" she slapped the water around her. Yuki loved hearing those giggles; he sat behind her making sure she didn't fall over. Yuuhei came running over to them with a small pail

"Hi mommy" Yuuhei said cutely

"Hey baby what are you doing?" Yuki asked as his son bent down, trying to get water in the pail

"Daddy says we need water to make sandcastle" he looked in the pail and saw some water "Kay bye bye mommy" he said before running away back to Kyo.

"Come on baby lets go back on the beach and play in the sand" he stood up making sure he still had a hold of Kayla. He stood her up on his feet and helped her walk back up the beach.

Yuki walked her up to Kyo's side and watched her plop down; he went to sit with his other three children.

"Mama look we made a sandcastle" Yuuhei turned to him and smiled

"I see that baby, good job you guys" Yuki stood back up so he could get the camera. He wanted to document this moment.

He took pictures of the kids and their sandcastle and of Kyo and Kayla playing in the sand. He noticed that there were more pictures than there was when he took the last pictures of his family by the water, so he looked to see what other pictures that were taken. He noticed most of them were of him and Kayla playing in the water, there was even a movie of them dancing. His wonderful husband knowing Yuki loved pictures.

When he was done taking picture he noticed everyone was a little sandy

"Oh my, were going to be cleaning sand off of us for days" Yuki said with a smile, Kyo motioned for the camera

"Hey guys smile for the camera" Kyo said when Yuki sat back down with them. They did more than smile though, they gathered around Yuki and hugged him while still smiling at the camera.

"Picture perfect" Kyo said. The family went back to their family beach day.

Back at the Hotel

Kazuma joined his son, son-in-law, and grandchildren for dinner. Kyo asked his dad if tomorrow night he could have the kids for a sleepover.

"I would love that"

"Are you sure it's not any trouble?" Kyo asked

"No not any trouble, I would love to have them"

"Thank you so much, Yuki and I have not had a night to ourselves in years"

"Well you guys deserve it" Kazuma placed and gentle hand on Kyo's shoulder, and squeezed in reassurance. Kyo smiled at his father.
