• The beautiful young woman was kneeling near the girls, helping them with their sand castle and laughing along with them. She looked much like she did so many years ago - her blonde hair being tossed in the wind - clad in a pair of shorts that were barely seen since the hoodie of Shay's she was wearing hung down so long on her and her young face void of any makeup. A hand lifted to brush back her hair from her face, looking back to where her boyfriend was. She loved their life, though she definately knew some guilt seeing how much he had given up for her and she had some lingering doubts on where they were going but she had decided to let life work itself out months ago. Soon the summer was going to be here though and he would be deciding if he was going back on tour or not. This was supposed to just be a break but he had been hinting at sticking around..especially now that they had found the perfect house for them and had just made a bid on it the week before.

• "Kaylee, leave those dam-uh, darn- kids alone and c'mere already." He growled playfully at her and shifted to lean back on his hands, head tipping back a little to shake his unruly blonde waves from his eyes as he watched her. That was supposed to be the deal... Kesi came alone to entertain Kali, and Kaylee entertained him. That was what a Friday night at the beach was all about, in his humble opinion atleast - which really didn't mean all that much at all, apparently. (NT) -- Shay, 20:06:57 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• She laughed a bit again, brushing her bare legs off as she stood up and headed over to where he was, kneeling down next to him. "We were building a sandcastle..my skills are rusty." She let out a low breath, her head tipped to the side as her eyes sparked with excitement. "Shay..I really hope we get this house..." She had fallen in love with the moment she saw it though she had tried to be cool about it and not seem to eager since she knew he might be going back on tour and that would make it hard to move and all that but it had been impossible to hide the excitment in her voice and eyes when they talked about it - it was all that was on her mind lately. It just made them seem like a real family if they had a house and everything. (NT) -- Kaylee, 20:11:50 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "All the more reason to leave it up to the girls - they're the professionals." He teased and reached up to loop an arm around her neck and pulled her gently down to his side. "I told you not to worry about it, Kay..." He murmured with a small smile. He had fallen in love with the house as well, and even more importantly - he had seen the way that she looked at that house, and the excitement in her eyes when they talked about bidding. At that moment, he had made up his mind that they were going to get that house, no matter what he had to do... (NT) -- Shay, 20:14:50 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• She tucked her head against his tee shirt clad chest as she grinned and tried to control the excitement that was leaking into her voice and expression. "I am not worrying about it...just...thinking about it." She grinned brightly, her fingers twisting in the tee shirt as she looked up to gaze at him. "Come on, you know its on your mind too...admit it." It was a four bedroom house - really they only needed two bedrooms. "It's so perfect, we could turn the extra rooms into a guest room and then maybe a den for you where you could have all your boards and all that..." And all the decorating that would be done would be so much fun, she was going to be incredably disappointed if they didn't get it but she would get over it she supposed. (NT) -- Kaylee, 20:19:12 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• He smiled at little and tightened his arm around her, lips pressing slowly to her temple, gaze affectionate on her. "Or something... A guest room and another bedroom - you know, incase we have another kid or something... I don't really need a den. I surf - I don't do paperwork." Though for now they were doing fine living off the money he had made while on tour, and he had a steady income coming in still from advertising campaigns he was involved in. But if he retired officially from the pro-circuit, he was going to have to fine another career or they would run out of money, fast... (NT) -- Shay, 20:25:56 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• She grinned lightly, her hand running up his chest to play over the neckline, her fingers running gently over the soft skin of his neck for a brief second. "In case we have another kid, huh?" She couldn't help the way her words brightened a touch at that idea - it was no secret she would enjoy another baby sometime though she preferred it to be when they were happily married and established. She tried not to ask him about what he was going to do with his surfing now - she didn't want to pressure him either way - it was his decision to make but there was a lot depending on what his final choice was. (NT) -- Kaylee, 20:33:23 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "Well, you know, Kalia's spoiled enough as it is... If she spends her entire life as an only child, she's going to be a complete brat..." He teased with a small smirk and a slight shrug before reaching for a brief but soft and affectionate kiss, one hand brushing slowly through her hair. They needed to get married, he had also concluded, and it was tempting just to mention it to her, and that was totally his style, but on the other hand - he kind of wanted to surprise her with a ring and everything... (NT) -- Shay, 20:36:15 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "Mmm...like me?" She questioned with a small grin, her lips caressing his briefly before she worked her lips down his jaw and then to his neck to suck softly for a brief moment. "I love you, Shayne..." She murmured softly, brushing her hand down his jaw before she pressed a warm kiss to his forehead. "You have your cell phone on you, right?" They were supposed to call when they closed the deal on the house to see if they were out bidded or not. She bit her lip lightly, her head tipped down as she gazed at him, taking a moment to look over her shoulder after a second to check on the girls. (NT) -- Kaylee, 20:47:50 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "Exactly." He teased affectionately with a small smirk and a wink, one hand twisted gently in her hair before he smiled and caught her lips for a warm, lingering kiss. "Love you too." At her question, he nodded reassuringly, and just tugged her into his lap so that they could settle there, arms looped around her waist. "Yeah, 'course... But he said that if we didn't hear today, not to expect anything till Monday, so don't spend all weekend asking me if I have my phone on me." He informed her with a wink and a smile. (NT) -- Shay, 20:52:27 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• She huffed softly, her brow furrowed as she tucked her head between his shoulder and his neck. "Your picking on me just because I am excited about us having our own house finally, thats not very nice." She shifted to play with his fingers, her eyes on their hands before they went on to check on the girls again. "Your mama is not going to be impressed when she finds out we bought a house here, this means we aren't ever going to move back to Hawaii." If they bought a house it was for good, a settling down and being together forever here type deal really. (NT) -- Kaylee, 20:55:18 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "I think we need to buy something small in Oahu too though, when we can afford it - somewhere to spend some holidays and vacations. It'd be nice to have our own place to go to there whenever we got the chance rather than crashing with parents or in a hotel..." He informed her quite matter-of-factly. No matter what, Hawaii would always be a home to him and he didn't want to write it out of their lives - he wanted it to be as important to their daughter as it was to them. (NT) -- Shay, 21:01:10 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• She nodded a bit at that but then paused for a moment, her lips pursing. "Maybe we should give it a little while between buying this house and one there too..you know...money and all that." She tipped her head to the side gazing at him curiously. "Kali starts preschool this fall, you know, I could get a job while she's there, just to help out a bit." Especially if he didn't go back out onto the circuit, she had no idea what he would do with himself then but she could only cross her fingers and pray that he would be happy with his decision, whatever it was. (NT) -- Kaylee, 21:05:57 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "Yeah, that's what I was thinking..." He agreed with a slight nod, and then shook his head a little, brows gently furrowed. If she wanted to work, that was fine with him, but he didn't want her to feel that she had to work. One way or another, he could and would provide for their family. "You don't have to work, Kay... I'll figure something out." He had had tons of invites for tours that summer, and was quite tempted - Kaylee and Kali could go with him, and it would only be a couple months, and the money would be good... (NT) -- Shay, 21:11:04 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "I know I don't have to." She stated in response, her hand brushing through his shaggy hair. Either way, they needed to decide something soon because time was running out and summer was closing in quick. "Has McAuthor called you again?" Since they didn't live together she was never sure who all was vying for him on their tour that summer but McAuthor's had been the one she had been leaning towards if he was going to take one at all. The tour had a few other guys that had families and it would be a bit more tame then some of the others. A lot of the guys Shay's age spent all their time partying when they weren't on the waves and were almost always surrounded by little hoochie groupies. (NT) -- Kaylee, 21:14:56 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• "I'm supposed to call him when I make a decision..." That was the problem though - that tour that she was most interested in was one of the least appealing to him. When he did things, he wanted to do them big, and he didn't want to settle for the tamer tour of has-beens. All those guys were older and more laid-back - it wasn't really his style. Not to mention less money. But he didn't want to just tell her that, because he knew that she saw it as they best option... Maybe an inbetween option would come up. (NT) -- Shay, 21:23:06 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• She nodded slowly at that, her hand trailing down his chest slowly before she looked over to the girls again. She knew the tour that he wanted to go on, the tour that had all the big names and the media attention...it was also the tour that Michelle was on. As much as she trusted Shayne, as much as she loved him, she didn't trust that conniving little bitch in the least. Her eyes turned thoughtful as she tried to figure out how they could manage this. If he went on that tour it would only be a few months but there was no way in hell she was going; it would end up in a big bitch fight and she was doing that with her baby girl around. Maybe if she was seventeen and not pregnant - as she had been when she was seventeen - then it would be a challenge but not now. (NT) -- Kaylee, 21:28:12 04/01/05 Fri

  ---

• He was pretty sure that he wouldn't leave without her though, so they woud have to come to some sort of compromise. It was way too hard on their relationship the last time that they went through all that. It was that he wanted the parties and all the excitement so much as he just didn't want anyone to think that he was settling for the low road. Considering he had been at the very top less than a year ago, it was hard to opt out of the attention. Sighing quietly at all the complications, he just gave her a little squeeze and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek. "Still got a month or so to see what comes up..." (NT) -- Shay, 10:23:49 04/02/05 Sat

  ---

• She smiled at him for a moment before she shifted to rest her head more on his chest, her bright blue eyes settled on the girls for right now. It was a decision to make, a big decision,but she was willing to wait and see what he decided and try to be as supportive as she could be. "Yeah, who knows what could open up still, it's early yet." Her fingers shifted to move beneath his shirt, playing on the smooth skin of his stomach. She could live without him and take care of her daughter while he was working, she had done it before, it was just so hard to be away from him. (NT) -- Kaylee, 10:08:29 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• His arms tightened around her with a quiet sigh and his lips brushed her cheek and then down her jaw for a moment before his eyes just settled on the girls as well. "We should adopt Kesi." Though he knew for a fact that Kesi's parents would never go for that idea... But he adored the excitable little girl, and her and Kali made the prettiest, sweetest, more adorable pair. Not that he was biased or anything, of course. His fingers toyed slowly through Kay's hair as he just held her close, completely content and comfortable in the cool evening. (NT) -- Shay, 11:24:48 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• She laughed softly, shaking her head. "No way, they are cute now when they are both four, just wait till they are both fourteen, it would be awful." She grinned lightly, tipping her head to the side as she watched the girls closely. "Besides, Kato would be lost without his baby girl." It amazed her how the man was such a hard ass but was such a puddle of goosh when it came to his little girl. A smile caressed her lips as she turned to face Shay, her eyes going up to his briefly. "We could just have another one of our own someday, a little boy. Blonde and a little curly like your hair..." (NT) -- Kaylee, 11:39:02 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "Right, fair enough. One teenaged girl is enough..." He agreed easily at that thought, and then smirked a little, fingers brushing her cheek slowly. "With our luck, he would be exactly like me." One eyelid dropped in a wink and he brushed her lips briefly - a little Shay would be asking for trouble, and they both knew it... But he had been serious when he suggested that one day they should have another. (NT) -- shay, 11:59:57 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• She grinned lightly at that before she returned his kiss sweetly. She couldn't imagine living life without this man, it just was conceivable in her mind - he was the air she breathed, the thing that sustained her. Resting her head back down, her eyes went back to the little girls on the beach before she spoke again. "Looks like they are starting to tire themselves out...Cassie said something about Kali sleepin' over there tonight cuz the girls wanted to do finger painting or something..." (NT) -- Kay, 23:06:57 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "That's a good idea..." He didn't hesitate to inform the pretty little blonde in his arms. They rarely got a night alone just to do whatever they pleased, but now that Kali was getting older, she was getting keener on the idea of sleepovers, and every once in a while it wasn't such a bad idea. Though of course it also meant that every few weeks, the apartment turned into a daycare centre for a good sixteen to twenty hours. Truthfully though, that time was pretty fun as well, in its own way. (NT) -- Shay, 23:13:27 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• Her hand slid over his stomach beneath his shirt absently, tracing the perfect muscles there - built from years battling the waves - with a mindless pattern. "Think you'll be able to stand livin' with me, Shayne?" They had never really officially lived together, though he spent the night more often then not, he could always just go back to his place when he got tired of Kali's fussing or Kaylee's occasional neuroticness. If they got this house, there would be no escape for him, he'd just be stuck there. (NT) -- Kaylee, 23:16:41 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "I'm thinking of keeping my apartment..." He dead-panned, but his bright blue eyes sparkled playfully. He was clearly just teasing her. They had waited years and years for this - to finally be a real family, and to live in a real home, together. He knew that it wasn't going to be all fun and games, and he knew that it would take some adjusting, but he had grown up a lot in the last few months, and felt as ready as possible to make this step. It was time. (NT) -- Shay, 23:19:50 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "As long as I can go there and use it too, when I get sick of you." She grinned lightly, her lips brushing against the underside of his jaw, lingering there for a moment before her hand slid up his arm to entwine their fingers together. She wore her promise ring from him on her right hand, the hand that was holding his. Her fingers absently traced the band that she had gotten him that encased his wrist - holding all their little families birthstones. It had been a long time for them, they were together four years before Kali was born, and then broken up for almost two and then now they had been back together for another two, well other then that slight seperation for a couple months. (NT) -- Kaylee, 23:24:49 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "Yeah, yeah that works..." He teased with a soft laugh, and tightened his arms around her, lips brushing hers warmly and one eyelid dropping in a wink. With a sigh of contentment, rested his chin on her shoulder and turned his gaze back out to the two little girls - who were now just playing quietly in the sand and chatting softly, clearly tiring out. It would be time to get them in and back to Kesi's soon. "We should go for a nice long run tomorrow morning, and then go out for brunch or something before we pick up Kali." (NT) -- Shay, 23:35:05 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "Sounds perfect..." She smiled softly, her eyes turning up to the stars, her fingers playing over his sweetly. "I remember being fifteen and laying on the beach like this, I never would have guessed that five years later we would be living on the mainland, lying on the beach watching our five year old daughter..." She let out a soft breath, her eyes going back to Kali. "We were so young..." He had been almost eighteen at the top she got pregnant and she had been sixteen, they were just kids. They had both done a lot of growing up lately. Having almost lost him seemed to put everything into perspective. (NT) -- Kaylee, 23:39:03 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "So young, so foolish..." He agreed with a slight nod, though his gaze that lingered on the girls was clearly so affectionate and there was a content tone to his voice. "And I'm pretty sure that even the suggestion would have had no effect on how we spent our Friday nights in my truck..." He smirked slightly and glanced to her for a moment with a quick wink - when you're young like they were, they were invincible. Of course he would never take back their daughter, even if he could, but it was interesting to think of all the different decisions they could have made. (NT) -- Shay, 23:46:47 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• She nodded in agreement but didn't say anything until he made the comment about the truck and then a soft laugh escaped her. "I don't think we should ever tell Kali she was conceived in the bed of your truck..." She grinned lightly, shifting to stretch out and cuddle up closer to him as she started to get a touch chilly. She would never take back Kali, the little girl was the best thing that happened to her but it may have helped if she hadn't been so young then, if he hadn't been so young...still yet, everything seemed to have worked out for them. "Damn it, we are going to have to wait till Monday to find out about the house, aren't we?" (NT) -- Kaylee, 23:50:11 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• "I'm pretty sure you're right about that..." He laughed softly and shook his head a little - fully aware that their daughter would be none-too-pleased with that bit of information, no matter how old and mature she got. His one hand brushed slowly up and down her arm in an attempt to warm her, and his lips played down her jaw just absently. "Maybe. Maybe I'll get a call sooner... Tough to say." He wouldn't expect anything before Monday, but who knew? (NT) -- Shay, 23:53:35 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• Patience wasn't a virtue that she practiced very often so the fact that she was antsy about it couldn't have been overly surprising to him. "If we don't get this house, do you think its a sign that we should just keep things the way they are?" Her brow furrowed at that, she'd always been a firm believer in Karma and Vibes and all that sort of stuff so if they didn't get the house perhaps it was Fate's way of stopping them from making a horrible mistake and rushing into things to fast. (NT) -- Kaylee, 23:55:57 04/03/05 Sun

  ---

• He wasn't the least bit surprised, and that was exactly why he was trying to be so nonchalant about it. The more worked up he got, the more worked up she would get, and then they would both spend the weekend driving each other nuts. He smirked a little, but his features were affectionate as he glanced over to her. "If we don't get this house, I think it'll be a sign that there is a better house out there for us." (NT) -- Shay, 00:00:02 04/04/05 Mon

  ---

• "But this is the perfect house." She stated seriously before she just smirked and drew back to look up at him. "I think we should get going and get the kids off to Cass's and then go to one of our respective places and spend the night doing all sorts of kinky things that twentyish year olds should do on a saturday night when they don't have their child to be mindful of. I think I have whipped cream." She grinned mischeviously, one hand on either side of his shoulders as she gazed down at him. (NT) -- Kaylee, 00:06:49 04/04/05 Mon

  ---

• "How 'bout all sorts of kinky things that twenty'ish-year olds should be doing on a Saturday night, period? 'Cause twenty'ish-year olds with children catch up on rest when they don't have their children to be mindful of, and that's not my style..." He teased her with a smirk and one hand raised to brush back her hair slowly before he reached up for a warm, lingering kiss, and then nodded agreeably. "But yes, let's ditch the kiddies." (NT) -- Shay, 00:16:20 04/04/05 Mon
