Cindy: Well, I’m glad you aren’t that small minded. Sam would miss out on a great play mate in Angelica and we would have lost a chance at having a couple of wonderful people as friends. We are lucky that our families are friends, it gave us this chance.

Gerald: Trust me, I thank God daily for that. I have had my share of sorrow in my life, but when I look at where we are now I thank God for letting me find joy again.

Cindy: Yes, we both make that prayer. 

They kiss and continue to enjoy the sun and the laughter of their friends on the water. Before long Bette and Tina come in and are ready for their beers.

Tina: Oh my god that was so much fun! I can’t believe I passed on that last weekend.

Bette: Well it wasn’t as much fun solo, but I had a blast with you T.

Cindy: We’re going to go change back into our suits for the pool before the babies wake up. I’m sure Sam will be ready for the pool.

The parents take shifts changing out of their wet suits. The babies stir just as Bette and Tina return. Bette takes Angelica up for a change while Cindy does the same with Sam. Gerald brings the playpen back to the patio after shaking it out and dusting it off with a towel. Tina grabs the small cooler.

Bette: Hey, I saw the cup cakes in the fridge are those from you guys?

Cindy: Oh yea, we thought they’d be a good treat. We also brought some extra beer.

Bette: Thanks. I think our cuties have earned a treat, what do you think?

Cindy: As long as I get one too.

They stop in the kitchen for the box and head down to the patio. Tina and Gerald are already in the pool.

Tina: We just couldn’t wait.

Bette: No problem, you just get what’s left over of the cupcakes; we get first pick.

Gerald: Oh man I forgot about those.

Cindy: Actually, you’ll get what the babies don’t eat; we know they’ll just mess over the icing and leave the cake.

Cindy takes a chocolate cup cake and Tina just stares at her while she takes her first bite. Bette gives the kids each a yellow one as they are back on their blanket again. The both make a mess, icing all over the face, but with big smiles for the camera. They clean up the babies and Bette finishes Angelica’s cup cake after passing the baby to Tina in the pool.
