Ava
When they get back to the house from the grocery store, everyone helped bring in the groceries. Then after that, they all put away the groceries to finish faster.
It was around lunch time when everyone got settled from their trip to the grocery store. Now, they all go to their rooms to changed into their swimsuits.
Jessica and Isabelle packed a few bags with beach towels, some snacks and water. Also, sunscreen and two big beach umbrellas and a blanket to lay on the sand so they can sit.
Once everyone was ready, Danny and Ethan help carry a few things including some folding chairs to sit on. They then all walk out onto the patio and down some stairs. There was ten steps total.
They then walk about thirty feet and they reached their destination. There were other houses around but they were spread out at a good distance. There wasn't a chance that anyone would bother them.
The blanket was spread out and everyone got comfortable. The beach umbrella's too we're set up. Sunscreen was passed around to put on and soon Ethan, Adam, Anthony, Matthew and Isabelle walked over to the water, while everyone else was sitting around relaxing.
"Ahhh...this feels amazing." Jessica said, closing her eyes, her head up and feeling the sun against her skin.
"Sure does." Danny said, sitting beside Jessica.
"Finally we get a family vacation. It's been a while."
Jessica opened her eyes and leaned against Danny. She felt so at ease being here with her family.
"I loved my time working on American Horror Story. It was amazing journey." Jessica began, "But I missed spending time with my family. Maybe once Emma graduates high school, I will go back to work. But for now, my family comes first."
Emma had put on her third coat of sunscreen, then scoots over to her mother and said, "AHS was awesome! I'm glad you did the show. Also, I got to go on set with you when I wasn't in school. I got to experience everything that goes on backstage and learned how things worked. Plus! Your characters were amazing." She gushed, "But, I'm glad that I will get to see you more now. I would miss you when you would go on promotional tours and such."
Jessica reached over and pulled Emma into a hug. She smiled and just relished this moment.
She then looked over at her children and son in laws by the water. They were already in the water splashing around and having fun. Jessica smiled more and felt like the luckiest woman on earth.
The past week, felt amazing to the Hustons'. They did so many things as a family, and also some things they did separately. Jessica took lots of pictures to remember this trip and she planned to take many more.
Adam was able to let go of his worries and anxieties about finding a surrogate. He was able to be in the present and be with his family and enjoy their vacation. Anthony was relieved that Adam was being this carefree. Adam hadn't been this way in a long time.
Also, this trip was like a breath of fresh air as far as their relationship went. Due to the stress of their journey of becoming parents, their relationship was a little strained.
Now, they were able to get closer as a couple and they felt that they were once again on solid ground.
Today was was a relaxing day. They had gone to beach again for a few hours but tonight, Danny and Jessica would leave their children at the beach house while they go out on a date night. They had also booked a room in a hotel to spend the night in case they drank too much.
They got ready in separate bedrooms as if they were in different houses. Danny thought it would be more romantic that way. He even bought her some flowers while he was out with the boys that earlier that day. He hid them in Ethan's room until it was time to "pick up" his date. He said he would pick her up at 7 pm.
Danny was getting ready in Ethan's room and talking to the guys while Jessica was getting ready in their bedroom with her daughters.
Isabelle and Emma helped their mother get ready and we're talking about the mother daughter day they had. They found a wonderful salon and spa and they pampered themselves with manicures, pedicures and massages.
Jessica wore a blue dress that hugged her figure and she did her hair in loose curls. She also chose to wear black heels. She wore light makeup and finally she was ready to go.
Emma and Isabelle were planning their night with their brothers, and Matthew and Anthony when a knock interrupted them.
Isabelle got up from the bed and walked over to the bedroom door.
"Hello, good evening." Danny said with a smile, "I'm here to pick up the most beautiful woman in the world. Is she ready?" He had the flowers hidden behind his back. But the girls could see them.
Isabelle and Emma rolled their eyes in a playful way. Although they thought their father was being a little extra.
Isabelle laughs and said, "Yes, mom is ready."
Jessica walks over and smiled at Danny. He looked so handsome in his blue long sleeve button up shirt. Emma had told Danny what color dress Jessica was wearing and he happened to bring on the trip his blue long sleeve dress shirt.
"Hello, handsome." Jessica said her smile growing more wide.
"Wow, you get even more beautiful by the minute." Danny said as he stepped closer to her. He then brought the bouquet of flowers to his front to show Jessica. "I got these for you. I hope you like them."
Jessica took the bouquet into her arms and said, "These are beautiful." She smelled them taking in their wonderful scent. "Roses are my favorite."
"I know." Danny chuckled nervously as if this were their first date.
"Shall we?" He then said, putting out his arm for her to take.
She chuckled as she took his arm while holding the bouquet of roses in the other and they walked out of the room together. The girls followed them into the living room where the guys were.
Isabelle took the roses from her mother telling her she would put them in water for her.
When Ethan saw his parents, he walked up to them and said to Danny. "You have her back by 11 pm young man. That's her curfew."
Jessica laughed and said, "Yeah right!"
Danny laughed and said, "Oh I don't plan on bringing her back." He wrapped his arm around Jessica and pulled her close. "We have a long night ahead of us." He looked at Jessica then moved his eyebrows up and down, making sure the kids could see.
"Barf! Okay, get out of here you two." Ethan said in a disgusted tone. "Before I lose my lunch."
Jessica and Danny laughed then hugged their children goodbye for the night. Jessica of course telling the kids to be careful and to be good. Even though they were adults and a teenager, Jessica always told her children to be careful. The kids told her and Danny the same thing, to be careful.
Adam locked up the front door, and turned to his siblings, husband and future brother in law.
"So, what should we do first? Movie? Or dinner first?" He asked. "Or alcohol?"
They talked for a while and soon they decided to eat dinner first then they would move on to a movie. Then they would have a few drinks.
They had the ingredients to make home made pizzas so they all got to work on making their own pizzas.
They made a mess of the kitchen; they threw flour at each other and made it into a war between a few of them.
After they went back and forth a bit they finally go back to making their pizzas. Once they put the first two pizzas in the oven, they get to work at cleaning up the mess they made and themselves.
When dinner was done, they go over to a huge shelf that was filled with DVD's. The beach house had a decent movie collection. Even a few of their mothers movies were in the dvd collection.
They loved their mother very much and the work she did, but tonight, they chose to watch a horror movie. They chose a 1980's classic, Nightmare on Elm Street.
Jessica and Danny had made their way to their destination. The place they were going to spend the night was about forty five minutes away from the beach house.
They started off their night at very fancy restaurant. Danny had reserved a table ahead of time, so it had candles and a few roses in the center.
They were currently sipping on some wine and waiting for their food.
Jessica looked at Danny from across the table and she looked right into his eyes. She was taking in him. She felt so lucky to have met her soulmate.
Danny reached across the table and took her hands into his. Just like like Jessica's he felt lucky to have found his other half.
"I was thinking...for our wedding anniversary next year, we should do something different." He began, "We should go to Vegas and we can renew our vows."
"Vegas?" She asked curiously.
"Yes, why not?" He said with his handsome smile. "We can renew our vows and have a Elvis impersonator conduct the ceremony. I mean, we can't have the real thing, but it'll be fun and we can pretend that Elvis was at our vow renewal ceremony. I mean, it'll be cool for the KING to marry us again. Also, you know what they say...what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
Jessica smirked and asked, "What could we do there, that we can't do at home?"
Danny smirked back and said in a seductive voice, "Oh, I can think of a few things."
Jessica chuckled then nodded, "Alright! Let's go to Vegas on our next wedding anniversary."
Danny cheered quietly and they resume their night.
Back at the house, the Huston siblings, Matthew and Anthony had just got done with watching the movie. They all had just sat around and enjoyed each other's company.
Alcohol was now present but the only one not drinking was Emma since she was underage.
It was nearing midnight, so Emma decided to go upstairs to her room and just relax on her own. She said goodnight to her older siblings and they stayed downstairs talking.
Emma made it up to her room and closed the door. She changes into pajamas then grabs her purse. She takes out her tarot deck and sits on the bed. She wanted to do a general reading and see what the cards had to say.
Back downstairs, Adam sneaks out the back door and walks down to the beach. He walks a little ways away from the house then sits down in the sand.
Adam just needed a moment on his own. He did let go of his worries but now his worries were creeping back into his mind.
He looked up into the night's sky and just let his thoughts over take him. He knew he needed to work through his thoughts in order to move forward.
Twenty minutes later, Anthony goes in search of Adam.
He quickly finds Adam staring up the moon. He walks over and sits down beside his husband.
"You okay?" Anthony asks.
"Ava." Adam replied.
Anthony's brows furrowed and asked in confusion, "Who?"
Adam looked over at Anthony and replied, "Ava. The third potential surrogate we met. This would be her fourth pregnancy, so she is experienced and she knows what she is doing. She's had three healthy pregnancies that resulted in three healthy babies. When we get back home we can call the agency and tell them we choose Ava."
Anthony relaxed and smiled, "She was nice and seems like a great person. Okay! Ava is our surrogate!"
Adam leans in and hugs Anthony then they give each other a kiss.
For the first time in a while, Adam felt at peace with this decision. He was more than ready to trust a stranger to help them achieve their goal of becoming a family.
