Note: Again I am so sorry this has not been updated in a while. I am really trying to get back into writing but the new job, new country has me so busy. I hope you are still interested though and please enjoy this chapter.

A family day out on the pier, first time since April was born, it was something they really needed after the first weeks with April at home. She cried a lot at night but it was also great to spend time as a family at home.

''April are you enjoying too?'' Kylie asked excited as she walked beside her dad and tried to look at the little baby in the carrier.

''I think she is enjoying her afternoon nap.'' Matt smiled as he looked down at the little girl asleep against his chest.

''She better, getting carried around by her dad like a princess.'' Gabby smirked and Matt let his head fall back for a second, wanting to say something but let it go then. She was the one that had bought the carrier instead of a stroller because she had read online that it was good and at first he thought he looked stupid, but then he also really liked it.

They walked around the pier, arriving at the playground then and they sat down on a bench across so that they could keep an eyes on the kids.

Gabby's fingers caressed over the short hairs from the little girl asleep in the baby carrier, with her face in Matt's chest.

''She is so adorable.'' She smiled.

''You never find me cute when I snore.'' Matt smirked as the little girl was snoring softly.

''Yeah well, she has got my eyes.'' Gabby teased him and suddenly April got a bit fidgety.

Gabby took her from the carrier and hugged her.

April was two months old now and she was getting on in the family so well. The triplets loved their little sister and April was a very easy baby, except at night.

But the cutes smiles made up for that.

Gabby smiled as she was holding April. April looked a lot like her with dark hair and eyes.

''it is so good to be out with the family.'' Matt smiled and he meant it.

''yeah, it is good.'' She smiled as she laid her head against his shoulder and handed April back to him and the little girl was soon fast asleep in the carrier again.

''Mommy, daddy, can we go in the go around?'' Kylie asked as she came running their way.

''Sure, come on, let's get you some tickets.'' Gabby said and Matt followed along. April was falling asleep in his arms and he carefully moved her to the baby carrier again so she could sleep along.

Gabby bought some tickets for the kids and even though the boys seemed to doubt at first if they wanted to go on the ride that was mostly for girls, they saw a small firetruck then and ran on, sitting inside the small firetruck that was on it as well and looked at their dad.

Matt raised his thumb at them, proud with the boys being so excited about the firetruck.

Suddenly Matt's phone rang in his pocket and he walked away to get it, feeling a bit bad but usually when his phone rang, it was important. He leaned against the railing of the pier, one hand with his phone against his ear and the other caressing over Aprils little head.

Gabby waved at the kids and bought another couple of tickets, handing them to the kids so they could go another few times as they were having so much fun.

She looked at Matt then, talking on the phone and with their little baby tied to him. It looks so sweet. He hung up then and came walking back and she tried not to smile as Matt was laughing cause of Aprils little chubby legs bouncing up and down a bit as he was walking.

But then she also saw in his face that something was off.

''Lieutenant Wiseman got sick, they asked if I could head to the firehouse to fill in his spot to finish the shift. Sorry baby.'' Matt said as he came walking back.

''No Matt, not today! Today was important!''

''I know. I am sorry, you know I am but when they need my help, I also really need to help with that.'' Matt said, seemingly feeling sorry and she knew that he did not want to leave to hurt them but that he had to.

April started to cry now as if she also knew that it all sucked and Gabby took her from the carrier and started to comfort the little girl.

''I am sorry. I will make it up.'' Matt promised then.

''Fine, okay.'' She finally said then and they shared a kiss.

''Here is the car key...'' He handed it to her and she helped out with the carrier off him and he tied it around her. April was still in her ams and he felt so bad.

''No no, you take the car. It's fine, me and the kids will take the train.''

''No, please take the car.'' He smiled as he kissed her again, feeling so bad about having to leave her on a family day off.

''See you – ''

''After my own shift.''

''Oh, okay.'' She mumbled then, so sad about him leaving and not seeing him for 2 days and Matt caressed over Aprils hair and kissed her on top of head then, waving at the other kids and shared one more kiss with Gabby before running off.

''Where is daddy?'' Aaron asked as he and his brother and sister came from the merry go around and Gabby was standing there with April.

''Well, he had to go to work, they needed him at the firehouse. He is really sorry but he had to leave.''

Upset the children looked around, especially because he had not even said goodbye to them.

''I want to go home!'' Kylie said then, angry and upset.

''How about we order pizza at home!'' Gabby said, trying to get the kids cheerful and excited again but Christon got angry as well now and soon they were in the car. Even the sunny weather had turned into rain.

''I am angry with daddy, he should have been here, it was family day!'' Christon pouted and Kylie nodded.

''You know daddy has an important job and that sometimes he has to leave to go and work.''

''But he promised it would be family day. Why did he leave!''

''because his job is important and they need him.'' Gabby said a bit upset. She was angry too about him having to leave but she understood it and she knew the kids were just upset because they were younger and did not understand yet. But it was upsetting he had to leave during a family day.

NOTE: The family is having a day out together and even little April got to go along, tied to her daddy ;) But then Matt had to leave and the kids are not all to happy about that, how is he going to make that up?
