- The treehouse in ME -

"Summer weather, I swear it's amazing.", says Gemma with a happy sigh as she packs her beach bag which was placed on Jax and Gemma's bed, Gemma indecisively trying to pick which bathing suit to pick.

"Babe, which suit should I pick?" asks Gemma, asking for Jax's opinion. 

"They all look good on you silly.", says Jax reassuring Gemma, still not giving a straightforward answer though.

"Any of them, honestly. They all look good on you.", replies Jax as he grabs a beach towel, sunscreen and bug spray out of the bathroom and throws them into the beach bag that the two of them are taking to the beach.

"Oh shut up Babe, pick one please.", says Gemma, desperately teasing for Jax to pick a swimsuit.

"Babe, fine pack the ombre pink one.", says Jax, picking up the trash that was scattered

on the floor, from Pumpkin making a mess. 

"Okay.", says Gemma smiling as she puts the bathing suit into the beach bag, which then she throws in her hygiene bag that includes, face sunscreen, lotion, bug spray, and sunscreen.

Babe, are you scared that you're going to die while we are there?, says Jax standing on pins and needles.

"Kinda, but there's a very slim chance that we are.", says Gemma with a sigh.

"Aw babe, I'm sorry. I wish I could be in pain instead.", says Jax trying to be sympathetic.

"Shut up, you're giving me a headache.", says Gemma playfully, hugging her boyfriend who was behind her. 

"If I am, I'm sorry baby.", says Jax with a smile.

"I was kidding.", says Gemma playfully with a tease.

"Sure you were.", says Jax with a sly smile, as he finishes packing his bag as he then zips it up.

Gemma slides a white wooden box into the bag that Jax left sitting on the floor.

"I was babe.", says Gemma, smiling from ear to ear as she pulls her fully packed bag. 

"Sure you were.", says Jax with a playfully look in his eye as he plants a soft kiss on Gemma's forehead.

"Come on you slowpokes!", they heard a voice yell, It was Harper's.

"Harper! We're coming, side note; How did you get in?!", says Gemma with a laugh as she meets Harper at the bottom of the stairs.

"The door was unlocked.", says Harper giggling pointing toward the door.  

"Babe, what the -... You left the door unlocked?", says Gemma, seldomly bothered by the fact that her boyfriend left the door unbarred.

"Yeah, it's just Harper and Theo. They aren't gonna steal anything except for possibly a couple of Oreos or our entire pantry.", says Jax laughing.

"Shut up Beckett.", says Harper laughing as she heads back outside.

"Babe! Wait up, I have something to tell you.", says Gemma, catching Jax's attention before he heads out the door. 

"What's up babe, you okay?", asks Jax concerned about turning to his girlfriend.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted to tell you about something I found the other day.", says Gemma with a smile.

"What are you talking about?", asks Jax as he drops the beach bag to the floor, Gemma took this opportunity to get the box out of the bag.

"This! This is what I'm talking about.", says Gemma as she pulls the box out of the bag showing it to her boyfriend.

"What? It's a boring white box, no meaning, no hidden secrets. What's the big deal?", asks Jax, puzzled and confused

The car honked, signaling to Jax and Gemma that it was time to go.

"We're coming Theo, calm yourself down!", Jax screams as he picks up the beach bag, hands Pumpkin's leash to Gemma as the three of them head out the treehouse door Jax locks it behind him.

"Babe come on! The beach is practically calling our names!", says Gemma joyfully as she and Pumpkin get into the second row of seats in Theo and Harper's Volkswagen van, leaving the third row laid flat for surfboards, bags, boogie boards, chairs and a 6 person tent.
