It’s Sunday today and it’s Mike’s day with Lucy and I had just put her in the bath when my phone started buzzing. I dried my hands and went to my phone that was sitting on the counter in the toilet. It was Mike so I put it on loudspeaker.

“Hey Scar!” he said excitedly. I wondered why…

“Hey Mikey. I’ve got Lucy here too, you’re on loudspeaker. She’s having fun in the bath before I drop her off!” I giggled at Lucy placing bubbles all over her face.

“Oh, hey little Lucy!”

“Daddy! I see you today!” she squealed. She really was turning into a Daddy’s girl.

“You sure do! Hey Scar, uh you know how you don’t need to go into work anymore?”

“Yeah?”

“How would you like to come with the guys and I to the beach and little Lucy is obviously coming too!”

“Oh. Yeah that’d be cool” I said, I didn’t really want the guys to see me in a bikini. I wasn’t totally comfortable with my weight yet and I was still working on it.

“Okay great, just come over whenever you are both ready and we’ll all head to the beach! See you soon little Lucy, love you!”

“See you soon daddy, love you lots”

“Bye Scar.”

“Bye Mikey.” I smiled into the phone and put it down again on the counter where I got Lucy all clean and then told her to run to her room to pick out a cute outfit to wear. The girl actually had a decent style for being a tiny little baby still!

I on the other hand went into my room and tried on bikini after bikini, moaning about how my boobs or ass looked in every one. I sighed and shouted Lucy in.

“Luce, you look adorable! Put your little denim jacket in mama’s bag it’s so warm outside you won’t need it til later! Can you help mummy with something?”

“Yes mamma of course!” she squealed and jumped on my bed.

“Okay, pick out of these two bikinis for me.”

“I like the black one mamma! Can I be as beautiful as you when I grows up?”

“You’re already 10 times more beautiful than me and you’re not even grown up yet little missy!” I tickled her and got the rest of my outfit on. We got some breakfast and made our way to Mike and Tony’s.

*** MIKE’S POV ***

I seen the old familiar car park in my driveway from the living room window and seen my beautiful little girl jump from the door and into her mother’s arms. She looked so happy. Scarlett had on the cutest outfit. She never ceases to look absolutely phenomenal. She carried Lucy in one arm and a bag in the other, probably full of sun cream and juice and other things for Lucy. They made their way up to the door and I got up to answer it. Tony was upstairs drying his hair off and then getting changed.

“Hey Scar” I said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek as she came through the door. She blushed and tried to hide it, but I saw it. She’s adorable.

“And hello my baby!” I said reaching to Lucy who already was plunging in my direction. She wrapped her arms around my neck so tight I thought she’d never let go and I kissed her head repeatedly. I love being able to cuddle into her, knowing she’ll always be a Daddy’s girl and that I can spoil her however much I like. I’m never turning back and I’m going to do the best I can to get the woman of my dreams back.

“You look beautiful Scarlett.”

“You’re not too bad yourself, Mikey.” She winked at me and sat down on the couch.

Finally we were at the beach. I noticed Scarlett sitting on the towel awkwardly beside me. Tony and Jaime were in the sea whereas Vic and Lucy were a little in front of us making a sand castle. They were close enough so Scarlett and I could keep an eye on our little angel at all times but not close enough for her to hear what we’re talking about… I couldn’t help but stare at Scarlett. She looks so amazing. She’s so curvy, but in all the right places. She has these long skinny legs and you can tell she’s worked her ass off to get rid of her baby weight. She looks incredible. Her skin was tanning and her pink hair shone in the bright sunlight. Her tattoos were perfect. Her eyes were closed and she looked deep in thought.

“I can feel you staring Michael Christopher Fuentes.”

I chuckled. She knows me so well she can even sense when I’m staring at her. She let one eye open and chuckled herself. We both burst out laughing and were lying down on the towel now. Everything was peaceful and the warm sun felt good on my skin. I closed my eyes for what felt like a second before Vic and Lucy ran up to us.

“Mamma I want to go in the water with you!” she squealed. “And you too daddy, come on! I want us all to go in!!” She then ran off and I ran after her, laughing at how cute she was.

*** SCARLETT’S POV ***

I guess I knew I was going to have to reveal my ‘bikini body’ sooner or later. But I was scared. I’m so not comfortable at the weight I am right now. I need to have more toned legs, my boobs have been ruined through pregnancy, my ass needs to be bigger, and my tummy needs to be flatter. Fuck it. I’m going out there for my little girl. I stood up, taking off my skirt and my top. I made sure my hair was secure and then ran down to the water where she was sitting down with Mike, letting the waves hit them and she squealed every time the cold water hit her. I walked in front of them and Mike’s jaw literally dropped. I blushed.

“Coming in a little further baby?” I put my hand out so she could grab it and she did.

“Come with us daddy!” she grabbed his hand too and he got up, jaw still dropped and lost for words. Part of me liked making him feel like that.

Lucy ended up with Vic, Tony and Hime and Mike and I sat down next to the shallow waves, admiring our baby girl. I noticed him staring, again.

“See something you like Michael?”

He blushed and laughed before muttering under his breath.

“What was that, Michael?”

“Everything. I like everything.” He winked at me and shoved me a little. To which I shoved him back splashed him with what little water there was around us. He then shoved me so I was on my back and he was hovering over me and he kissed my lips ever so softly and our lips were moving in sync with each other and I felt like I was in heaven. This is where I’m supposed to be, it has been all along. I tangled my fingers in his hair and we deepened the kiss a little.

This went on for a few minutes until we both pulled away for air, there were butterflies in my stomach and my heart was racing. I was falling in love all over again. I never thought I would, but I so am.

“I think we should stop at that before more happens Mikey.” I breathed against his lips and we got up, earning cheerful looks from all the boys and Lucy. Lucy has been continually telling me that she wants Mike and I to be together so we can all be one big family, and she also wants a little brother. We’ll see what happens…

*** MIKE’S POV ***

Kissing her felt so right. I’ve never felt like something was more made for me in my life. Everything about her just fits with me perfectly. She is perfect. Our life together would be perfect. I need her to be mine again. She got up and walked towards where our towel was and I followed her. I grabbed her by the waist and turned her towards me.

“I love you so much Scarlett. I need you to be mine” I put my forehead against hers and kissed her nose.

“I love you too Mike. I am yours, I've always been yours. Stay with me tonight, okay?” I nodded and we sat down on the towel and enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach. Everything is starting to fall into place.
