A week away/ Daniel's third birthday
Sam had decided to take a week off and take his family for a holiday.
Daniel's third birthday was coming up, and Sam had decided to take his family away, they all deserve a break. After everything that had happened in the last year.
Sam started to put their suitcases in the truck and smiled when he heard the kids waking up.
He went inside the house and saw Daniel helping Gracie downstairs.
"Come on sissy too slow", Sam heard Daniel say to Gracie.
Sam rolled his eyes and went to see that both of the kids were nearly downstairs.
He went to the bottom of the stairs and picked up Gracie and kissed her head.
Sam put Gracie down, and picked up Daniel and took Gracie's hand and walked them to the lounge room and put Daniel on the lounge chair and watched Gracie put herself on the chair.
Sam sat next to Daniel and ruffled his son's hair.
"She's only starting to walk buddy", Sam said to Daniel and shook his head at the face Daniel was giving him.
Gracie came up towards Sam and he smiled at his daughter walking by herself.
No matter how long she had been walking alone for, it still made his heart stop.
Both of his kids were growing up, that made him both sad and happy.
Sam sighed as he started getting more things to put in the truck.
"Okay buddy, go get boo and come back to me", Sam said to his son.
Daniel nodded and got off the couch.
"Daisy?" Daniel asked Sam.
Sam smiled and nodded his head.
"Go get daisy for sissy", he said smiling as he saw his son walking up the stairs.
Andy woke up and got changed and smiled at the thought of the family going away.
She didn't know where they were going, Sam didn't tell her, but she didn't try to get it out of him.
Andy knew that this holiday was important to Sam to organize, so she let him do it.
She shook her head at what Sam had taken out for her to wear and went into the shower.
By the time she got out of the bathroom and went downstairs, everyone was ready and waiting for her.
"What about breakfast for the kids?" Andy asked Sam.
Sam smiled at showed her the bags of food he made for the kids.
She smiled and nodded her head and picked up Gracie as Sam went to take Daniel's hand to take them to the truck.
Both of them put the kids in their car seats and they were off in five minutes.
The kids were asleep by the time they got to the first stop.
Andy's eyes went wide at where they were.
Sam looked over at Andy and winked at her.
The first stop was a kid's adventure playground, filled with rides, jumping castles and places for them all to sit down and relax.
Sam got out of the truck and went to get the stroller for Gracie.
Since she was walking most of the time now, they didn't need the pram for her anymore.
Daniel woke up as soon as Sam got him out of the car seat and started jumping up and down as soon as he saw ponies.
Sam shook his head and grinned as he crouched down to his son's level.
"We'll see the ponies buddy", Sam said to his son as he patted his son's shoulders.
They all went to the entrance together and Daniel was super excited
The kids wanted to go to the jumping castle first.
Sam shook his head and laughed as he tried to get Gracie's shoes off her.
He took his own shoes off and laughed when he saw Andy jumping around on the jumping castle and chasing after Daniel.
The kids got bored pretty quickly of the jumping castle and Sam rolled his eyes.
They went to see the animals next.
Daniel was super excited about the horses and ponies, while Gracie was a little scared.
That didn't surprise Sam or Andy.
Sam put Gracie on his shoulders and took her around to see the rest of the animals, while Andy stayed with Daniel looking at the ponies.
It was midday and time for lunch and close to the kids nap time.
So Sam found a quiet place in the park and started getting everything ready for their lunch in the park.
Sam rolled his eyes when Daniel runs towards him.
They sat together and ate lunch. By the time they all finished lunch, the kids were nearly asleep.
Sam smiled and helped Andy get everything ready they all got into the truck and Sam drove to the holiday house he had rented for them.
Andy's eyes went wide when she realized where they were.
Sam smirked and winked at her as he got out of the truck and went to open up the house.
Andy brought Gracie in and was holding onto a sleepy Daniel's hand walking slowly into the house.
Sam rolled his eyes when he went outside and saw Andy struggling with both of the kids.
He went up and picked Daniel up.
"Come on buddy", he said quietly as he walked into the house with his son.
Sam took Daniel into his room in the holiday house, while he pointed to Andy where Gracie's room was.
Andy nodded her head and smiled and took Gracie into the room.
When Andy saw Sam in the hallway, she ran up to him and jumped onto him.
Sam shook his head and spun her around and put her down on the floor.
Sam rested his head against hers for a moment and let out a breath.
"Thank you", she whispered to him.
Sam shook his head for a moment, which made Andy confused and Sam roll his eyes at her.
Sam put her down and led her into the room they were staying in for the week.
Andy jumped on the bed straight away and Sam smirked at her while he was walking to the bed.
Andy grabbed his hand and pulled Sam over to her, which made him grin at her.
They lay in bed together, just smiling at each other.
"Thank you for this, the holiday", Andy said quietly to him
Sam shook his head and rolled on top of her.
"Anything for you and the kids", he said quietly to her.
Andy couldn't help the tears coming out, and Sam closed his eyes and wiped them away.
"I don't like you crying so much", he said quietly to her.
Andy shook her head, she just couldn't help it, no matter what had happened with them and their kids this year, Sam and Andy were still stronger than ever.
Daniel woke up in a strange bed and was scared. He didn't know where he was.
He grabbed boo and got off the bed and looked around.
Daniel slowly went into the hallway, looking around but so nobody.
He stood in the hallway, scared.
Sam and Andy were kissing, and it was getting heated very fast.
Sam groaned and moaned at the same time as Andy flipped them over and kissed up and down his neck.
Daniel slowly made his way around the rooms, trying to find everyone.
He looked in the room where Gracie was sleeping and got more upset.
He stood in the hallway looking around not knowing what to do.
He started to cry hugging boo.
Andy started to slowly undo Sam's buttons on his shirt which made him groan quietly.
"Mummy, daddy", Daniel said in a scared voice.
Andy got off Sam quickly and Sam did the buttons up on his shirt as fast as he could.
Sam looked over at Andy quickly to see if she was ready for him to open the door and she nodded.
Sam opened the door and looked at his son, hanging onto boo, scared.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath and bent down and opened his arms and Daniel came running towards him.
"Its okay buddy, were here", he said to Daniel as he picked him up and walked around with him for a bit.
Gracie woke up a couple of minutes after and started to cry.
Andy went into the bedroom she was in and picked up her daughter.
"Its okay sweetie", she said hugging her daughter and walking downstairs were
Daniel and Sam were now.
Gracie wanted to be put down so Andy put her down and she ran to where Sam was.
Sam grinned and picked her up and kissed her head.
Andy looked at the time and noticed that it was just after 2 and realized the kids would be hungry.
She walked into the kitchen and got some food ready.
Sam brought the kids to the kitchen and sat them down at the table.
He walked up and wrapped his arms around Andy and she leaned her head back and Sam kissed her neck which made her moan and him groan quietly.
"Later McNally", he said quietly in her ear.
Andy sighed and nodded her head and Sam grinned at her.
That afternoon, they took the kids to the park just down the road from the house they were staying in.
Sam smiled as he watched his kids run around and play together.
He looked at the time and noticed it was nearly dinner time.
He smiled as he saw Gracie run up t o him.
He bent down and picked his daughter up and kissed her forehead.
Daniel came running and laughing towards Sam with Andy chasing him.
Sam smirked and shook his head at the both of them.
Sam put Gracie down and took her hand and they all walked back to the house.
Andy was getting dinner ready, while Sam was entertaining the kids in the lounge room.
Daniel was laughing and rolling around the lounge room floor as Sam was tickling him.
Gracie was happily playing with her toys next to them.
Dinner was done, and the kids were in bed.
Sam walked up to Andy and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly.
Andy moaned which made Sam groan and grab her hand take her upstairs.
When they got into the bedroom, Sam closed the door and pushed her against it and kissed her.
Andy moaned again and Sam groaned and picked her up and carried her to the bed.
By the time they made it to the bed, their shirts were off and they were working on each other's jeans.
Sam kissed her down to her chest and went up and kissed her neck.
Andy flipped them over so she was on top and kissed him everywhere she could.
She moved her hips, which made Sam groan and flip them over again.
He smirked at Andy getting impatient.
"we have all night McNally', he said as he pulled the sheet covers over them.
An hour later, Sam was on top of Andy, forehead against hers, breathing heavily.
Andy leaned up and kissed his lips softly.
"I have to say, if this is what I get for planning a family holiday, I should do it more often", Sam said smirking at her and Andy hit his chest.
Sam laughed and rolled off her and brought her to his side.
"I can't believe he's three soon", Andy said quietly.
Sam moves some hair off her face e and smiled softly at her.
"He is growing up quickly", Sam said shaking his head.
Andy started to cry and Sam rolled his eyes.
"Kids do that Andy", he said wiping tears away from her face.
"I know they do", she said quietly.
Sam smiled and turned off the light and they both went to sleep.
The day of Daniel's birthday came fast.
Sam woke up first and went downstairs quietly getting Daniel's presents ready.
They didn't get too many presents, but they got enough.
After all, he was turning three, and he had been through a lot this year.
Sam smiled at the big present he got himself for Daniel.
Andy had no idea that he got this present.
Sam decided that it was time for Daniel's first bike.
With training wheels, of course.
But Sam was so excited about giving his son his first bike.
The other presents weren't so big.
There were some clothes, a couple of toys and small things.
Andy came downstairs with Gracie and smiled at Sam.
She put Gracie down and she went running towards Sam straight away.
"Dada", Gracie said and put her hands up to Sam, telling him she wanted to be picked up.
Sam smirked and picked her up.
"Morning sweetie", he said as he kissed the top of her head.
Daniel came down next, with boo in his hands.
Sam smiled and put Gracie down and bent down with his hands open waiting for his son to come to him.
Daniel came running towards him and Sam picked him up and hugged him tightly.
"Happy birthday buddy", he said into Daniels ear.
Sam put Daniel down and he went straight to the presents, and his eyes went wide.
Andy smiled and grabbed the camera.
Sam and Andy sat next to each other and watched Daniel pick up the presents one by one.
Daniel was confused, he didn't know which one to open first, and he looked straight at Sam.
Sam shook his head and got up and sat next to his son.
"Which one do you u want to open first buddy?" Sam asked Daniel.
Daniel pointed to the biggest box and Sam shook his head.
Andy got ready with the camera.
Sam helped Daniel open the present and looked over at Andy, whose eyes went wide.
Sam winked at her and laughed at Daniel jumping up and down.
"BIKE, BIKE", Daniel said running up to Sam and jumping on his lap.
Sam laughed and shook his head.
"Come on buddy, lets open more presents", Sam said helping Daniel open the rest of the presents.
All the presents were open, and Daniel was having a ball.
Andy went and started to make pancakes for breakfast and Sam joined her quietly in the kitchen.
Andy saw him come and walked up to him and hugged him tightly.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"I wanted to surprise the both of you with the bike", he said quietly.
Andy looked at him and smiled and nodded her head.
Sam kissed her softly on the lips.
Daniel came running in the kitchen.
"Daddy bike", he said jumping up and down.
Sam shook his head and grinned at his son.
"After breakfast buddy", he said ruffling his son's hair.
Daniel nodded his head and ran back into the kitchen.
Sam shook his head and laughed.
Gracie came into the kitchen and went up to Andy and lifted her arms up.
Andy smiled and picked up her daughter.
"Don't worry sweetie, we haven't forgotten you", she said tickling Gracie and Gracie laughed.
Sam smiled and walked up to Gracie and Andy and took Gracie off Andy.
"We could never forget you", he mumbled to his daughter as he tickled her.
After breakfast, Sam decided to just hang out in the house today.
It was their last day at the holiday house and he just wanted to enjoy it.
The day went quickly and they all went to bed early.
They were all in the truck on the way home at 8 am.
Everything was quiet on the way home.
They got home at midday and the kids were asleep.
They took the kids to their rooms and let them sleep while they took everything out of the truck.
Daniel woke up first and went straight to his new bike, which made both Sam and Andy smile.
It took a bit of practice, but he got used to it pretty quickly.
The next day came pretty quickly and they were happy they had one more day off before going back to work.
Sam groaned as he set the alarm before bed that night.
He was lying in bed when Andy pounced on top of him, nearly making him lose his balance.
He laughed and flipped them over so he was on top.
He kissed her down to her neck which made Andy moan and Sam groan.
He pulled her top off while she did the same to his and she laughed softly which made him roll his eyes as he put the covers over them.
Half an hour later, Andy was on top of Sam, breathing heavily.
He moved some hair out of her face and kissed her lips.
Andy shook her head at him, which made Sam raise her eyebrows at her.
"Thank you, for making me this happy, for giving me two beautiful kids", she said quietly.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"Thank you for giving me another chance", he said just as quietly to her.
They both smiled at each other while Andy rolled off Sam and he went to turn the light off and they both went to sleep.
