A/N: Prepare for some touching family moments!
Enjoy!
Chapter 7
Roslyn woke up at her normal time the next morning but she wasn't in her bed, she was laying across the floor… the bathroom floor. Which explained why she didn't remember going to bed after coming back from the past. There was still a few questions that still weren't answered but after that she knows she's best never finding out the answers. In this case, ignorance WAS bliss in this case.
She very shakily got to her feet and walked out to her room.
However, on her way there, she passed her cousin who noticed how much she was shaking. "You okay, Lyn?" Slate asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Roslyn said.
"You sure?" Slate asked uncertainly. "I tried to go to the bathroom last night and you were asleep on the floor, almost stepped you since I was still half asleep."
"I was really tired," Roslyn said.
Slate shrugged, "Well, I guess that makes sense but you know you could tell me anything right?"
"I know, but I'm okay," She said.
"Well, I guess I just have to take your word for it." Slate said hesitantly before heading back to his room to get ready.
"Roslyn what's wrong?" Asked her fathers voice from behind her.
Roslyn turned to him forcing a smile. "I'm fine, Dad."
"No, you aren't theres something you aren't telling me," Adam said.
Roslyn went with the first thing that came to mind. "I'm just a little worried, with how Mom suddenly ran off during dinner. Is she ok?"
"Yeah, she just had some things she really did not want to talk about," Adam said.
'Hard to imagine why.' Roslyn thought like her mother had said. "She really did go through hell didn't see?"
"You have no idea.." Adam said
'Wanna bet?' She thought somehow keeping her composure. "Did the same thing happen to you?"
"Yes, and know and there are bits I can't remember," Adam sighed.
She gulped, "I just worry about you guys, you're my parents after all, and I love you guys."
"We love you to, don't worry about us were okay now," Adam said.
"Right. What's past is the past." Roslyn said mostly to herself. "There's really no reason I ever have to know."
"Yeah, we'll tell you when you can handle it," Adam said.
"Would I have to ever know?" Roslyn asked not wanting to hear back through what she saw. "I was doing some thinking last night and realized it's probably best to never know."
"That's not like you, what happened last night?" Adam asked knowin there was some reason for her change of heart.
"Nothing really, I was just thinking about you guys' reactions and that if its something bad enough to have that big of an affect on you guys to this day then it's probably a bad idea for me to know." Roslyn lied then shrugged. "Maybe I'm starting to mature."
"Maybe, but you seem off," Adam said.
"I'm fine, Dad. Really, I'm just tired." She said using the same excuse as she told Slate.
"I don't buy it," Adam said simply.
"Well, it's the truth, whatelse could it be?" Roslyn lied.
"You did something that you don't want to tell me about," Adam said.
"If I did, you think I would have hid it from Slate as well?" Roslyn asked since she usually tells Slate everything.
"Maybe if it was really bad and you do have that reality altering device," Adam said.
"Time altering actually and...how come I never thought of that?" Roslyn asked as if this were news.
"Roslyn?" Adam questioned.
"What?" She asked.
"What is wrong?" He asked again.
"Nothing, Dad." Roslyn lied. "Besides, I have to get ready for school."
"Wait before you go want to swim?" He asked
"I thought I was grounded." Roslyn pointed out confused.
"You were, but I want to spend some time with my daughter," Adam said.
"Well, you know I'm in!" Roslyn said not really thinking it through. "But if mom finds out, it was your idea."
"Fair enough, I'll see you there," Adam said.
Roslyn lowered her pajamas to her swimsuit she never didn't have it on before blurring off to the pool. However, once she got there, the chemicals she saw flashed into her mind and she stumbled backwards. Unfortunately, Adam saw that… and totally isn't suspicious at all.
"Roslyn sweaty, what's wrong?" Adam asked holding her as she backed away.
Roslyn started hyperventilating slightly, there was really no way to deny anything at this point. "Alright, I confess, I went back in time to when Mommy was my age and I saw her and Doofenshmirtz and D-Darius a-and..." She had just completely broke down at this point falling to the floor. "Oh Daddy it was horrible."
Adam scooped her up in his arms.
"Shh..it's alright, I've got you," Adam said holding her.
He blurred to James, "Roslyn is not going to school today she's mentally stressed." Adam said. James nodded and Adam blurred off holding his daughter and looking for Felicity.
He found her in the place you can almost always find Felicity, the library. "Feliss, we have a serious problem."
"What is.." She trailed off when she saw her daughter crying in her husbands arms.
"What happened?" She asked.
"You know the saying curiosity killed the cat? Well, she had decided to use her time altering device to see what we were hiding from them for herself." Adam explained worriedly at this point regretting not just telling her since hearing it is a lot less damaging then seeing it.
"Oh no!" She gasped out taking Roslyn from him and holding her close.
Roslyn leaned into her mother still crying. "I should have listened. I should have just let it be." She croaked out.
Felicity knew that much was true, but now was not the time to gloat.
"It'll be alright," Felicity said soothingly.
"It was terrible though, I even saw D-Darius." Roslyn stuttered between sobs.
"Not him," Felicity muttered.
"That's what you and Doofenshmirtz called him." Roslyn said not showing any chance of stopping crying.
"Oh, baby I'm so sorry," Felicity said.
"It's not your fault, Mommy." She said sounding like a three-year-old. "Actually, I didn't really see anything with him, he started to unbuckle his pants and I was out of there."
"Smart girl," Felicity said.
"There's nothing else it could have been." Roslyn said attempting to wipe her eyes before looking up a her. "Mommy, why didn't you scream?"
"At that point I had sort of given up," Felicity said carefully.
Roslyn looked down. "It's really hard to get you to give up on anything, you were my age when I went there… how long had you been trapped in there?"
"Almost seven months," she said.
Roslyn gulped "Every single day? You mentioned that it was just like everyday day."
"Almost everyday, yes." Felicity said.
"That still doesn't sound like you though, to give up that quickly."
"I had slowly been broken down, I had no confidence until I met Adam," She said
"It also probably didn't help that she had no memory of before she was captured what-so-ever beyond her name." Adam added remembering what she was like when he first met her.
"You didn't?" Roslyn asked.
Felicity shook her head, "Not until about a year and a half after meeting Adam after waking up from a coma, then suddenly I remembered everything."
"A coma?" Roslyn asked.
"That actually is a rather long story that given your current mental state shouldn't be fully explained today, long story short, it was one of the worst failed missions which obviously ended with me in a coma for the next five months and your father captured for his own turn." Felicity explained slightly hesitantly.
She looked to her dad, "You got stuck on that table too?"
Adam hesitated, but nodded.
"How why?"
"How? Vanessa had knocked me out, captured me, stripped be down, straped me to the table, and used her father's old equipment. Why? She was mad at me for killing her father, wanted to control me and failingly secretively had a creepy crush on me." Adam explained.
"Were you I mean.." Roslyn trailed off
Adam realized what she meant and shook his head. "I manged to skip that part."
"You said there were days you don't remember," Felicity said.
Adam's eyes widened at that point.
"Well you did say it," Felicity said hesitantly.
"You don't really think that…?" Adam trailed off.
"It's a possibility," Felicity said.
Roslyn gulped, "What about Aunt Isabella?" She asked knowing the she has powers and freaky eyes, too.
"No, she was just hit with a few darts that had the right chemicals," Adam said.
"Well, I guess that's a relief then. I just can't believe you two went through that." Roslyn said not looking up.
"Well, we're okay now that is what matters," Felicity said.
"I guess you're right." Roslyn said with a sigh. "Are you guys mad at me? I went against your direct orders then lied about it."
"The lying yes, but after what you saw, you'll get no punishment as that was bad enough," Adam said
"I'm really sorry, Daddy. I should have just been honest with you."
"Yes, you should have however I can understand why you didn't," Adam said
"Thank you for trying to protect me though." Roslyn thanked sincerely. "You did the right thing."
"We would do anything to protect you," Adam said.
"I guess I should have just known that and took your word for it." Roslyn admitted guiltily.
"Yes, that you should have," Adam said.
"Makes you feel sorry for the rest of the kids though." Roslyn observed, "They don't even know what they're in for."
"Yeah, well they'll be older when they find out," Adam said.
"Thank goodness for that but how much older?" Roslyn asked not thinking that any age is old enough.
"Up to there parents," Adam said.
"Oh, right. Besides, they'll find out the easier way by just hearing about it." Roslyn realized.
"Yeah I hope so," Felicity said
"Maybe I could talk to the, try and prevent them from trying what I did. Maybe they'll listen to me." Roslyn suggested.
"Maybe they would," Adam said.
"Hopefully they would." Roslyn reworded. "Does that mean I can try?"
"When they are older," Adam said.
"I'm not talking about actually telling them what it is. Just trying to prevent them from doing something stupid because of it like I did." Roslyn corrected. "Like you guys always do but it might mean something more coming from another kid instead of an adult. One that was coming from the same mind set as they are."
"Well I guess that could work," Adam said.
"So, THAT would be ok?" Roslyn asked. "I don't want them to end up making the same mistake and seeing the same thing."
"Yeah it might work," Adam said
"Well, I guess Mom and Eve are right, there is a bright side to everything." Roslyn admitted.
"Yeah I guess," Adam said.
Roslyn looked up at her mom, "You could put me down now."
"Are you sure?"
Roslyn nodded wiping her eyes.
"Okay," She said setting her down.
Roslyn stumbled slightly for a second but quickly found her footing.
"Are you sure your alright?" Felicity asked.
Roslyn hesitated. "Relatively speaking."
"Okay," Adam said.
However, Roslyn couldn't but think about the thing that had completely giving her away. If she would ever be able to swim again or if she'll end up like her mother in that means.
"Are you okay?" Adam asked.
"You think I'll ever be able to swim again?" Roslyn asked flatly.
Adam sighed, "I don't know," he said sad that he may have lost the one thing he seemed to share with his daughter forever.
Roslyn looked down knowing that not only was that something that she LOVED to do but it was something she could always do with her dad. "If I don't, we'd find something else, right?"
"Of course we would," Adam said carefully.
"Hopefully that won't be the case though." Roslyn said twiddling her feet.
"Hopefully," Adam sighed.
Felicity just stood there and watched having nothing positive to contribute.
Adam smiled a bit forced, "I have to go," He said.
Roslyn looked up at him. "Where are you going?"
"I have to go to a base in Washington for inspection that's why I wanted to swim I win't be back until tomorrow."
"Oh, well, bye, Daddy." Roslyn said hugging him.
"Bye, Roslyn be good," He said hugging her and pulling out his teleporter.
"I will," Roslyn promised. "What time tomorrow will you be back?"
"About noon," Adam said.
Luckily, today is Friday. Roslyn nodded understanding. "Alright, I'll see you then."
"See you then," He said kissing her forehead then Felicity before teleporting away.
"He'll be okay." Roslyn breathed to herself.
"Why wouldn't he be?" Felicity asked.
"I guess I'm understandably a little paranoid with you guys." Roslyn admitted.
"Don't be were okay, and so are you," She said.
"I know that, but it doesn't really help my nerves in the long run." Roslyn said looking down.
"It should we are alright now." Felicity said.
"Right now we are, but what about some unforeseen circumstance similar what happened on my last birthday?"
"We'll be ready," Felicity said.
Roslyn nodded, "Alright, I trust you guys on that."
"Good, now what do you want to do?"
Roslyn looked down. "I don't know."
"Well you could read," Felicity offered.
"I guess that works." Roslyn said walking over to one of the thousands of shelves and grabbing 'Confessions of a Murder Suspect' by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.
"Good, now try to relax," Felicity said.
"I'll try, Mom." Roslyn promised sitting down at a table.
"Good, I'll go get some fruit for us to snack on," She said
"Alright, just don't try to cook anything." Roslyn said as she opened the book and started reading.
"I won't," She said blurring off.
Roslyn chuckled, 'Why'd I have to get her lack of cooking talents instead of Dad's?' She thought to herself.
Felicity returned with a large basket of fruits.
"Thanks, Mom." Roslyn said grabbing a banana.
"No problem," She said taking an apple.
"Were these washed?" Roslyn asked before her mom took a bite of a possibly unwashed apple.
"Of course they were," Felicity said.
"Just making sure, you have made that mistake a few times before." Roslyn reminded.
"Oh one time," Felicity said.
"It was way more than that." Roslyn flat lined.
"Okay two," Felicity said.
"More than that." Roslyn said with a chuckled eating her banana. "Plus, Dad said that you did it a lot more than I was alive for."
"Maybe," She blushed.
"See? I have every right to double check." Roslyn stated simply.
"Okay," She sighed.
Roslyn chuckled turning the page already over halfway though. "Not that I have any right to complain about lack of cooking talents."
"No you blew up water."
"That pan was sexist." Roslyn said simply.
"Oh right," Felicity said
"Besides, you did, too." Felicity said.
"I know," Roslyn shrugged.
Roslyn closed the book having finished it. "How come I couldn't have gotten Dad's cooking abilities."
"What's really wrong?" Felicity asked.
"Pretty much everything." Roslyn said looking down.
"What's really getting to you though?"
Roslyn couldn't answer that question, everything in her brain was just too jumbled up at the moment to shuffle one significant thing out.
"Your scared that you won't be able to swim again aren't you?"
"That's a large part of it. I just don't know what to do without it."
"I couldn't tell you what to do honestly, you could try and get over it," She offered.
"What did you think of water before the whole incident with Doofenshmirtz?" Roslyn asked seriously.
"I used to like it actually," Felicity said.
Roslyn looked down sadly, that was prwtty much the worst answer she could give. "And to this day, so many years later, you haven't made any progress on getting back to that?"
"Well some I used to not even go near water," Felicity said.
"How long did it take you to be able to?" Roslyn asked nervously.
"A few weeks after Adam and I started dating," She said.
"So, that was when you were, sixteen, right?" Roslyn double checked.
"Yes, it was."
However, that did not help Roslyn's state at all.
"What?" Felicity asked.
"Pretty much shot down any hopes of ever being able to swim again." Roslyn muttered.
"You'll be alright, I went most my life without swimming," She said.
"I don't want to be like that though, I want to be able to be myself again." Roslyn said kind of desperately.
"Well, then you could face your fear," She said.
Roslyn gulped but stood up with a determined look. You know what? I will!"
"How?" Felicity asked.
"Why not just cognitive behavioral therapy? It statistically works the best for overcoming any kind of phobia." Roslyn said simply.
"What?" Felicity asked.
"Just face it head on." Roslyn specified.
"So, your going to go jump in a pool?" Felicity asked.
Roslyn nodded trying not to show that she was nervous. "Statistically it works wonders, it's worth a shot right?"
"Wait! I'll come with you," Felicity said.
Roslyn too her mother's hand. "Just watching or…" She trailed off wanting it to be the second option.
"No, I'll come with you," Felicity said hesitantly.
Roslyn actually jumped slightly. "Perfect! Then, if this works, Dad will be ECSTATIC when he gets home."
"Yes, but I am nervous," She said
"So am I." Roslyn admitted honestly. "Maybe we could try focusing our minds on the possitive memories with water or even just possitive stuff in general. That way our minds our too busy to jump to the negative things."
"Okay, like what?" She asked.
"Well, actually, the water thing might trigger it on it's own so… how about you and Dad's wedding? That should be happy enough to keep you mind distracted right?" Roslyn asked trying to think of something she could think of herself.
Felicity thought of how happy she had been on her wedding day.
Roslyn thought about Eric, and dodgeball, and dodgeball with Eric. "Ready?" She asked her mom.
"As I will ever be," Felicity said.
Roslyn took a deep breath keeping her mind on Eric and she held onto her mother's hand and blurred them to the pool not stopping till the hit the water.
They jumped in and it felt...wonderful.
Felicity opened her eyes in disbelief with a smile on her face. It was like she was a little kid again. Taking a swim in this very same pool. She never thought she'd ever feel this way in water ever again.
Roslyn felt relief as the water triggered the memories of her father teaching her to swim.
Felicity turned over floating on her back. "You were right, Roslyn. This is amazing." She said in general Felicity.
"I knowe it's so peaceful," She said happily.
"F-Felicity?" Isabella's voice said in disbelief from behind them.
"Isa!" She said happily swimming over to her.
"How are you?" She asked.
"Shocked beyond compair for starters," Isabella said swearing this can't be real.
"Why?" She asked swimming away.
"You do realize you're in water right?" Isabella asked Felicity.
"Yes, Yes I do," She said sounding very relaxed.
Isabella instantly had her out of the water and against the wall. "Who are you and what have you done with my sister?" She asked, her eyes turning red.
"Isa, calm down it really is me," Felicity said.
"No it's not, everyone knows Feliss is terrified of water. So, I'll ask you one more time: who are you and what have you done with my sister?" Isabella asked not buyin it one bit.
"Aunt Isabella, that really is mom," Roslyn said.
Isabella looked back at her niece not letting go of Felicity. "What make you so sure? It's happened before you know."
"I know they told me about that, but that really is my mom, I've been with her all day," She said.
"Adam was with 'her' the whole day the first time and he's Adam." Isabella said distrustingly. "Besides, you know your mother. There's nothing else that could explain her being in water and being happy and relaxed at the same time."
"We faced our fear together," Roslyn said
That of course made even LESS sense to Isabella not knowing what happen this morning or 'last night'. "Wait, WHAT?"
"Oh right you don't know," Roslyn said launching into her story about the night before.
"Oh my god, are you ok?" Isabella asked worriedly, her eyes turning black as she let Felicity go.
"I wasn't, but I am better now," Roslyn said.
"Well, that's a relief then but what exactly did you have Feliss do to get her over that fear. Your father and I have been trying to do so since we met her."
"I'm her daughter and I was afraid to do it alone," Roslyn said.
"I understand that but what did you guys do that actually WORKED."
"We thought happy thoughts corny as that sounds," Roslyn said.
Now that Isabella though of it, "Why hadn't we thought of that before?"
"I don't know, but it worked," Roslyn said.
"Think it would work to get shoes on her? Then we could REALLY surprise Adam when he gets back." Isabella said thoughtfully.
"I don't think so, I'm pretty sure mom won that round with dad," Roslyn said.
"Oh yeah, but now I'm curious about it." Isabella said thoughtfully.
"No, I won that." Felicity said.
Isabella sighed, "Alright, I believe its you."
"Good, you want to go swim?" She asked.
"Considering that's what I originally came here for, yes." Isabella said simply.
"Come on then," Felicity said already in the pool.
Isabella jumped into the pool.
"Never thought I would share a swim with you," Isabella said.
"I know, I never thought I'd ever be able to swim again in general… in water anyways." Felicity added since she was already thinking of the wedding. "Just imagine how happy Adam will be when he get's home."
"He'll be thrilled!" Isabella said.
"I know right, he's always complaining that he can't swim with me. Soon he can get his wish." Felicity said excitedly.
"Yeah, a swim with his family," Isabella said.
Felicity closed her eyes thinking about how perfect it will be. Her, her Husband, her sister, and her daughter. All swimming together and happy.
"You seem happy," Isabella said.
"That's because I am." Felicity said simple as that.
"You happy in water surprising," Isabella said.
"I know right?" Felicity said with her eyes closed.
"It's nice though," Roslyn said.
Felicity floated on her back so she could just relax. "It's not just nice, it's perfect. I really have been missing out haven't I?"
"Yes, yes you have," Roslyn and Isabella said.
"If only we had thought of this years ago." Felicity said with a smile.
"I know, but your daughter is really smart," Isabella said.
"Of course, she has nothing else she could have been." Felicity said, it wasn't arrogance, it was the truth. "So is your son though."
"True, but common sense seems to avoid him," Isabella said.
"Not always, it avoids everyone occasion." Felicity said.
"True," Isabella said.
"Like remember when Roslyn made this bet to Slate that she could walk down the stairs with her eyes closed?" Felicity pointed out.
"And he let her I know," Isabella sighed.
"Hey! I was close, I just missed that one stair by a few inches." Roslyn said defensively.
"And you broke your leg," Felicity said.
"Eh, details details." Roslyn said casually.
Felicity rolled her eyes.
"Hey, at least I only tried that once." Roslyn reminded.
"True," Felicity sighed.
"Thank goodness for that." Isabella said thinking about that day.
"Yeah," Felicity agreed.
"Come on, I'm not THAT stupid." Roslyn said defensively.
"We know, but we like giving you a hard time," Feliss smirked
Roslyn shrugged, "Well, at least a while ago I was smart."
"You, but your also impulsive"
"Yeah, you can blame dad for that one." Roslyn said.
"It's good sometimes," Felicity said.
"I guess so." Roslyn said after some thought.
"See?" Isabella asked.
Roslyn nodded. "I see."
"Good," Felicity said.
Roslyn just stayed there treading water never wanting to leave.
"Do we get out?" Isabella asked
"Do we have to, Aunt Isabella?" Roslyn asked in a whine. "All the worries are out there."
"I guess we can stay a little longer," Isabella said.
Roslyn swam over to her aunt and gave her a hug.
"Glad I made you happy," She said.
"I'm easily pleasable as long as you have swimable water." Roslyn said.
"True," She said.
Roslyn let go of her aunt with a smile. Honestly, her back was really sore from where she slept but she didn't show it.
"You two enjoy," She said.
Isabella pulled herself out of the pool.
"You're going?" Roslyn asked.
Isabella nodded sadly. "There's something I need to get done."
"Official business?" Roslyn asked.
Isabella nodded, "Unfortunately."
"Okay, but you do need to take breaks at times," She said
"I know, and I do, but I really need to get this stuff done now. It won't take long." Isabella said drying herself off.
"Okay, bye aunty Isa," Roslyn said.
"Bye Roslyn, bye Feliss." Isabella said before leaving.
Roslyn turned to her mother. "You're not going to leave to are you?"
"No, I have a day off," She said.
"That's great then," Roslyn said with a smile.
"Yes...want to go to the water slides?" She asked.
Roslyn nodded and climbed out.
"Race you she said blurring off.
Roslyn blurred off never one to back down from a challenge.
Felicity won due to her head start.
"Cheater!" Roslyn declared to her mom.
"What?" She asked.
"You had a head start, making it extremely close to impossible for me to win when the time has to be messured in fractions of milliseconds." Roslyn pointed out.
"Excuses," Felicity said
Roslyn sighed then narrowed her eyes. "I'll keep that in mind.
"Yes you will," she smirked.
"Just go try out the side." Roslyn said annoyed.
"I will," Felicity fake huffed.
Roslyn watched happily as her previously aqua-phobic mother climbed up the water-slide.
'I am good, I should charge for advice,' She thought sarcastically.
Roslyn climbed up as well.
"Wow lots of options." Felicity said looking at the various water slides.
"I know right." Roslyn said with a smile when she reached the top. "I haven't even tried them all yet."
"Well they are all of your fathers design so there bound to be good," Felicity said.
"Of course they are. So, pick any one you like." Roslyn said motioning around her.
"I want that one," She said going over to a purple slide.
"Of course you do." Roslyn said going over to a white one since she already tied the blue one. "Race ya!" She said throwing herself down.
Felicity smirked and shot after her.
Since this time she had the head start, Roslyn reached the bottom first.
"Hey my slide was longer," Felicity said.
"Excuses," Roslyn quoted.
Felicity huffed
"Rematch?" Roslyn offered. "Different slides."
'Bring it!" Felicity said
Roslyn blurred off from there. They spent the day slide racing
"That was absolutely perfect." Felicity said drying herself off.
"I know right?" Roslyn asked.
"Thank you so much, Roslyn." Felicity said hugging her daughter.
"It was my pleasure," Roslyn said.
"Lets head inside though." Felicity said trying to dry herself off but it was hard since she's just wearing regular clothes.
"Okay,then you can change," Roslyn said.
"Race ya!" Roslyn said then blurred off.
"Hey no fair!" Felicity said.
"Yet it is when you do it?" Roslyn asked once they got there. "That's hypocrisy."
"And?" She asked.
"Hypocrisy is frowned upon in most societies."
"Not as a parent," She said.
"Yeah, as a parent too since you have to set a good example." Roslyn corrected.
"Okay you've got me there," She said.
"So you ever have to either declare my victory the round, declare yourself a cheater from going to the park, or declare yourself a hypocrite." Roslyn said smugly.
"Fine you win," She sighed.
"Victory!" Roslyn declared.
Felicity just sighed.
"I'm just gonna go get changed." She said heading off.
"Okay," Roslyn shrugged still victory dancing.
"She just had to get that didn't she?" Felicity breathed to no one once she was far enough away.
The next afternoon found Felicity and Roslyn waiting or Adam to get back.
Without warning, Adam 'appeared from thin air' via teleporter.
"Good to be home," He said with his back to them.
Felicity and Roslyn both hugged him from behind.
"Hello you two," He said happily.
"We have a surprise for you." Felicity whisper in his ear.
"Really?" Adam asked
"Yep, something you've been wanting for a VERY long time." Felicity told him.
"The ability to fly?" Adam asked.
Felicity chuckled then said. "Even more than that."
"Oh?" He asked.
Felicity nodded and whispered in his ear with no sign of joking, "How would you feel, about going for a swim with me?"
"What?" Adam asked looking at her shocked.
Felicity nodded, "Roslyn came up with this theory to solve the problem by thinking of something that makes us really happy and it worked."
"So you can swim now?" Adam asked
Felicity nodded with a huge smile. "So can Roslyn again."
"Really?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, just asked Aunty Isa. She swam with us for a short while yesterday." Roslyn said happily.
"That's great!" Adam said.
"So, you wanna get your swim trunks on?" Felicity asked her husband.
Adam blurred away quickly.
Felicity blurred off to get a suit on as well but Roslyn had one under her clothes as always.
'Everyone should do this,' She thought
Felicity blurred back to Adam in a swimsuit. "Do you think we should invite the other people in the manor?"
"Sure we can all meet in the water park," Adam said.
Felicity nodded and blurred off. 'Boy will they be surprised' She thought to herself.
"Hey Feliss," James said.
James took one look at her and was rather confused. "Why are you wearing a swimsuit?"
"No reason, just a manor swim today." She said.
"Alright, but don't you usually just stay dressed since you don't swim?" James asked still very confused.
"I can wear what I want," She shrugged.
"Well, alright, inside pool, outside pool, or water park?" James asked.
"Park," She said.
"Alright, I'll get into my trunks and be over their." James told her.
"Good, see you there," She said.
Felicity blurred off to round up the rest of the manor, kids and adults alike.
Everyone gathered in the water park.
Adam smiled over at his wife. "I suppose most of you are wondering why Feliss is wearing a swimsuit."
They all nodded.
Without a word, Felicity simply turned around to the nearest collection of water and dove right in.
Everyone gasped.
"That would be why." Adam said before diving in with his wife.
They all jumped in after them, and the day passed with a day of water fun.
