ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ "GET A ROOM!" Nathan shouted as he made his way towards the lake, passing Maddie and Josh who were sitting on the hill down by the lake, their arms wound around each other as they shared the occasional kiss. They two simply laughed, the blonde stuck her tongue at him getting a face in return but all she could do was laugh and Josh smiled as he watched the two.

"I'm gonna miss that smile." He mumbled and she looked back at him.

"What smile?"

"That smile." He told her, reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I can't believe you have to leave today."

"I know." He sighed. "But I'll call you when we get to the airport, and when we land and, you know, any other time I get the chance." He told her and she giggled.

"Good." She hummed as she leaned up, pressing her lips against his before she pulled back and raised her camera, snapping a quick picture of him. "Now, stop distracting me. I really like this lighting." He simply chuckled as he watched her move forward and snap a few pictures before she stood up and took a few steps closer before snapping a few more pictures as Keithie showed Donna how to skip a rock.

"You getting any good shots?" Roxanna asked as she stopped next to the blonde who was still crouched down, her camera turned to the side.

"Yeah, I think so." She smiled up at the women. "I'll email some of them to Josh after I edit them and I'll make sure he gets them to you."

"I'd like that." She nodded and Maddie moved a little to adjust the angle of the picture as she got a shot of Greg and Andrea, who were both standing in the water.

"Do you know how to skip rock, Mrs. Feder?" Donna asked the woman.

"Are you kidding me? I am the best at this." She stated, her hands on her hips and Maddie adjusted her stance as Keithie handed his mom a rock – she figured it'd be a picture that Roxanna might want. She raised her arm back then threw the rock, only it didn't hit the water, it hit Greg in the stomach which Maddie had gotten a picture of. "Oh, my God, baby, are you okay?" She asked as the boy doubled over, his hands on his stomach.

"Yeah, mom." He told her, his teeth clenched. "I'm just glad to see you having some fun." He added, his hand still on his stomach and Maddie chuckled as she stood up, letting her camera hang around her neck as she made her way towards the boy – she had been bare foot.

"You okay, kid?" She asked, her hand on his shoulder as Roxana turned and made her way back towards the house. "She hit you pretty hard."

"I'm fine." He nodded.

"Really? You look a little green." She patted his back and he nodded. She laughed as she led him out of the water, then he sat down on the shore. "Just take a breather, you'll be alright."

"Yeah, thanks, Maddie."

"Sure thing, kiddo." She ruffled his hair before making her way up the hill where Josh was still sitting, a smile on his face. "Hey, have you seen Nathan?" She asked. "He kinda disappeared."

"Uh, I think he's still swimming." He told her, looking over at the lake. "Yeah, there he is." He pointed and she turned to see the boy in question swimming back towards the dock. "He must be a swimmer."

"Yeah." She nodded as she sat next to him. "He's the best swimmer on the team at school. If he has the chance, he's in the water. When we were little I was convinced he was a merman."

"No." He laughed but she nodded.

"Yep. We went to the beach once and I dumped a bucket of water on him to see if he'd grow a tail. He did not. Then he threw me into the ocean."

"We're not leaving!" Becky shouted as she ran out of the house, behind careful on the steps. "We're not leaving!"

"What?" Josh shouted up the hill to his little sister as Lenny walked out the door.

"We're not leaving!" He shouted and the two teenagers grinned as they shared a look. "We're going to the water park! Everyone, come get dressed!" The kids cheered and raced towards the house, passing the two teenagers.

"You're staying."

"Yeah." He nodded, his lips pulling into a wide smile. "What do we do now?"

"We get ready to go to the water park." She told him, leaning forward to place a kiss on his lips before she pushed herself up and ran down to the dock. "Nathan! We're going to the water park!" She shouted and the boy surfaced.

"What?"

"Water park!" She shouted as she waved him over then she made her way up the hill, grabbing Josh's hand in the process then she ran towards the house – Nathan following the two.
