There were times when Fred wondered if someone was secretly slipping Alex and Chase sugar. After John left, she got the kids in their play clothes and sat on the couch, trying to think of who would be doing it. It was hard to just pick one person since the kids in the city had most of the adults wrapped around their fingers.
Once John was there, and they had gotten the kids to settle down, they went to the jumper bay and headed to the mainland. It was a fairly warm day out, and Fred lounged on the blanket, while Alex and Chase pulled football with John.
After a few hours, it started to get a little dark so they decided to head back to the city. Fred gave Alex a bath, and got her ready for bed while John took care of Chase. Once both of them were in bed, Fred went to the bedroom and stripped her clothes off.
She slipped on her nightgown and went to find John. When she did, she grinned at him and wrapped her arms around him. "Hey there," she whispered before deeply kissing him.
