❤️John- The Beach

When y/n complained of being bored, she didn't expect John to pack a picnic and take her and their children to the beach. He had taken the day off work and surprised his family with this day trip.

"Are we nearly there yet?" Their five year old daughter asked for the one hundredth time. John and y/n had four children. The eldest was a boy, Johnny, he was 16 years old. Then came their next son, Benjamin. He was 9. Their five year old daughter, Emily, and finally their 18 month old son, Edward.

"Not yet Em. Five more minutes," John replied.

Once they got to the beach, Johnny and Benjamin began to play football with there dad, who was getting worn out from all the running. Emily started to build a sandcastle whilst y/n sat on a blanket, feeding her 18 month old son pieces of apple.

"Johnny look!" Em shouted to her eldest brother, showing off the first part of her castle

"That's brilliant Em. Why don't we go and get a flag to put on it from that beach shop?"

"Can we mummy?" She asked, running towards her mother. As discreetly as possible, y/n moved Edward so that he wouldn't get sand in his eyes

"I don't see why not. Hold Johnny's hand the entire way and don't be long. Johnny, this is your last warning, stop using your sister to get girls. If I find out you've been-"

"I got it mum. I won't use her to get girls. Trust me, I really don't need her help anyway," he replied with a smug smirk on his face as Benjamin snorted at his brothers statement.

Johnny and Emily left and the youngest, edward began walking towards his father and brother

"You wanna play football?" John asked, picking up his son who replied with a giggle as his hands stretched for the football

"You've got to use your feet Eddie. Otherwise I get to throw the ball in your face," Benjamin said

"Woah. Don't be nasty"

"What? That's what Johnny does to me. Those are the rules," he told his mother who sighed and ran her hands through Benjamin's hair.

Edward began walking towards the ocean but John quickly lifted him up

"I don't think so buddy," he said.

Just then, their other two children came back. The kids were playing football whilst y/n and John were sat on the blanket, his arm over her shoulder

"You're so beautiful," he said quietly, kissing her cheek

"What did you do?" Y/n asked, sceptical of his behaviour 

"What? Can't I just compliment my wife for no reason at all?"

"You can, but you don't. So come on, what was it?"

"I told Tommy I would go away next week. Business." Y/n sighed, running her fingers through his hair and leaning her head on his shoulder

"It's OK. I'm not angry. Just, make it up to me tonight," she smirked, looking into his eyes as he grinned

"Oh ill make sure I do. Come here," their lips connected and when they pulled apart, they sat contently watching their kids. Suddenly, y/n sat up straighter

"Johnny, wheres Edward?" She yelled. The eldest looked around and shrugged, saying,

"He was here a minute ago."

Both y/n and John shot up from their place on the blanket and ran towards their kids, looking for their son. Y/n looked along the beach, hoping to see a toddling little boy in the sand, but the beach was empty
