Nate was jumping up and down excitedly when we reached the water-park. The place was already full with people and I lined up to get the tickets for us. It took me twenty minutes to get those tickets as the place was packed with people.

"Here are our tickets," I waved the tickets in front of Nate making him excited. We immediately went in, changed and keep our thing into a locker. Nate can't keep his excitement and he ran towards the pool. Alex immediately ran after him.

"Is he here?" whispered Rika as we looked at Alex trying to keep up with Nate.

"He said he'll be here," I said to her, "But with so many people it's difficult to look to him."

"He's bringing his niece and nephew right?" she asked and I nodded, "Maybe they are at the children's pool?

"Yeah, you probably right," I nodded my head again; "Let's go there."

"Are you sure you're doing the right thing?" she asked. "Don't you think it's too early to let him see Nate. You should a least let him see Alex first."

"That's exactly what I have in mind. I want him to see Alex. I don't want him to see Nate yet," I told her my plan. "From there, we could see how he actually felt towards Alex."

"So what are we going to do with Nate," asked Rika, "Hide him?"

"Yeah for time being," I nodded. "Once we found him, I'll take Nate somewhere else while you bring Alex," I suggested.

"Hmm, alright," agreed Rika. "Now let's find him first." I smiled at my girl. She's very easy to discuss about things. That's why I love her.

I know that my sister told me that she needs to be ready before meeting Syke but I think that she shouldn't wait any longer. She should see him and they should talk about things. Maybe she won't tell him about Nate yet, but eventually she has to tell him about it. It's only fair. I know my sister could be stubborn at time but when she's not given a chance, she will have to follow our lead.

I know Syke has a feeling that he's the reason why Alex left and I sometimes wanted say "YES" to him but I don't want him held that guilt feeling forever.

"There he is," pointed Rika at Syke who as playing with his niece and nephew at the children pool.

"Right," I nodded my head, "Now is to get him over to Alex."

"But Alex with Nate right now," Rika reminded me.

"Oh right," I just remembered, "We tell him to come over and then I'll take Nate somewhere," I said to her.

She nodded her head in agreement with me and we walked towards Skye, "Hey, Skye." I called him and he immediately looked at me. He looked behind me and saw Rika. I could see he looked disappointed that it was not Alex.

"Hey man," he said as he walked towards me and shook my hand. "Hey, Rika," he greeted her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey kids," I and Rika waved at the twins who were busy playing in the pool. I realized that Skye eyes were wondering around as if looking for somebody.

"She's on the other side of the park," I informed him knowing very well who he's looking for pointing at the place where Alex and Nate were. "Why don't you pretend to go over there with the twins?" I suggested.

He smiled, "Ok, be there in 10 minutes."

"I won't be around but Rika will be there with her, ok," I told him.

"No problem," he nodded as we walked away from him. We walked over to where Alex and Nate where playing which is near the slides.

"Come on Champ," I carried Nate on my back, "we're going for a ride," I told him and he waved bye to his mother and Rika. "See you guys later," I told him winking at Rika at the same time.
