Chapter 8: rock skipping and the waterpark

The next morning, Diego and Jasmine were still asleep in the bedroom that everyone was awake and doing their own things as usual, Marcus was on the couch and layed there as he watched Sally pump breastmilk and becky feeds the bird that was hurt. "Is that getting me horny?" Marcus
muttered tiredly watching very closely. "Yes."

"You promise you'll still feed her after
we leave?" Gabriella frowned, she
didn't want them to leave early, or at
all. "I promise." She smiled before bean, being the adorable bean he is, spoke up, "Mommy, that's my milk."

"Bean, we have to learn how to share
even with birds."

"But he's going to drink you dry!" Bean said looking up at his mother with a pout to him. All people the kids, except for Becky were outside. Greg, Andre, Rosa and Valentina were in the water whilst Gloria was in a chair watching the kids since all the parents were busy and she was happy to watch them. Keithie was trying to show Donna how to skip rocks as Roxanne watched the kids from ontop of the hill near the lakehouse.

"I got it three times." Keithie cheered
before turning to Donna, Rosa
smirking as she noticed where this was going. "Donna, you wanna try?" She shrugged, not noticing Roxanne
walking down the hill towards them,
The two women, however, did. "Sure. But I stink at sports. "That's all right. Here." He picked a rock up, upon glancing at the water.

"Hold it like this." She nodded, her
heart beating erratically in her chest,
her ribs feeling small enough to
choke her at the moment. "Like this?"
Keithie nodded, his chin brushing
her shoulder.

"Get down low and throw it," Keithie let go of her, backing up, scared of her bending down infront of him, "and let the rock do the magic." She does as instructed jumping up and clapping as the rock skipped across the water three times before sinking. "Nice."

"Oh, I skipped it!"

"Good job, Donna.'" Valentina
congratulated, hugging the lamonsoff's daughter, Roxanne just now deciding to make herself known, "Bravo." She clapped.

"Do you know how to skip rocks, Mrs.
Feder."

"Are you kidding me? I am the best at
this." The accent basically dripping off
her tongue like saliva, making itself
present.

"Give me that. Now, watch, now." She
bent down a little, everyone's attention her as she threw it. Rosa and Valentina threw their heads back in laughter as the kids tried to hide their laughs, Greg trying to hide his pain whilst holding his stomach. Roxanne gasped, the heavy feeling of guilt and worry settling in her stomach, "Oh, my God, baby, are you okay?"

"Yeah, Mom," he offered her a thumbs
up, "I'm just glad to see you having
some fun."

"I'll take your luggage to the car, Mr
Feder." Rita spoke as Lenny helped Rob down the stairs, Rosa and Valentina came inside for some food and ended up staying to watch the parents.

"That's not my luggage, that's textbooks. That's nice of you to take
your own stuff down. You're okay. Come on." Rita gave a confused
look but continued out anyway, Eric
frowned. "Come on, man. Already?
You're leaving?"

"Yes, I gotta go."

"Do you need any help getting to the
airport?" Roxanne bursted through
the doors, standing directly in front
of her husband as Kurt grabbed Rob
from him, "We got a little problem.'
Rosa watched as panic, worry,
confusion and many other emotions
flashed in Lennys eyes. "What? What happened?"

She shrugged, "I forgot how to skip
a rock. Now, I think it's gonna take a
couple of days to figure it out. So...I
think we better stay." She pulled a faux innocence, pretending she didn't know what she was doing. "Are you kidding me?"
