Fred was glad to have the day off, even if part of it was going to be spent planning Chase's birthday party. Part of her didn't want to plan it because it meant her baby was growing up. Jennifer, Sam, Caitlin, Jeannie, Kathryn, Maggie and her met in her quarters and went over the finer points. Soon, they had everything planned and took the order list to Operations to be sent during the next check-in. After that, Jennifer discussed a few things with Sam and they all went their own way to get changed to swim.
While she was walking to the jumper bay, Fred bumped into Radek and Paul. She talked them into coming out to the mainland with them, knowing both of them needed some time away. Finally, all of them were ready and Caitlin flew them out to the mainland.
"They're finished with the swing set," Fred told the others.
"Wonder how many broken bones Carson had to mend," Caitlin snorted before she landed the jumper next to the other one.
They filed out of the back of the jumper and walked to where the boys were. Fred snorted when she saw all of them were shirtless. "Think they're trying to impress us?" she whispered to Jeannie, who giggled.
"What do you think?" Tim asked as he grinned at them.
Caitlin, who was checking Carson out, nodded. "I'd ride it," she muttered, which made Jennifer giggle.
"Is it safe?" Maggie asked.
"I know the slide is since I built it," Daniel said as he crossed his arms and grinned.
"Oh jesus, Daniel. Just because Sam's here, doesn't mean you have to flex your muscles," Jack said while rolling his eyes.
