"daddy please can we all go swimming?" willow begged and robert laughed as they sat in the back garden with victoria and adam
"oh mummy please" teddy begged victoria who was sipping her wine
"aaron what do you think? fancy a swim?" robert laughed and aaron face paled
"yeah i think that's a great idea" adam agreed as he took the BBQ food to the table
And so on the weekend they headed out to the local swimming baths willow and teddy were beyond excited they had their bags ready and prepared to swim like no other they all arrived and victoria, adam and teddy went off to one dressing room and aaron, robert and willow went off to get dressed robert and willow were ready but aaron froze
"will go find teddy, aunty vic and uncle adam" he said and she ran off to find her best friend
"what is wrong you?" robert asked him and aaron looked at him sadly
"they're still here they haven't gone" he said looking at his chest and robert lifted aarons t-shirt over his arms and looked over his partners chest
"these are the most beautiful marks i've ever seen, these prove that you are the strongest man ever, you are our daughter's hero, i love you you're my hero now get those trunks on and i bet you can't do a handstand underwater" he smiled to him and wiped aaron's eyes
"okay and of course i can" he laughed and changed into his shorts and looked at his husband
"anyway they nearly match" robert laughed as he held his husband tightly to his chest and looked down at his own bullet scar
"Right let's go and now hiding either of us" robert laughed and grabbed aaron's hand in his and willow rushed towards them
"are you two okay?" victoria asked and aaron shook his head
"yeah we are grand now i bet i can swim more lengths than you" robert announced to victoria and they all headed to the swimming pool.
