Jeremy's pov:

I slowly woke up after coughing up all the water that was sloshing around inside of me. Papa and dad looked at each other worriedly before looking at me. I felt Papa pick me up and hold me close. "I'm so sorry, kiddo! I didn't know your floaties were deflating! We really need to get you into swimming classes, bud. We can't have this happen again."

Dad nodded in agreement with Papa. I was honestly quite scared now of the pool. I know Papa and Dad didn't mean for that to happen, but it was still scary not being able to resurface properly for air. I felt sick afterward since I inhaled a lot of water.

Papa picked me up and took me inside. I got a bath to get the chlorine and sunscreen off of me so I could take a nap comfortably. Dad was in the other room talking on the phone with someone named Christine. He was explaining what happened and asked if I could join her class. I guess I'm in the class since I heard dad say thank you to her and went to tell Papa.

"He's got swimming lessons next week. She did say to make sure he's not scared of the pool, though, since it'll be a lot easier for him to practice swimming with us too." I heard Dad tell Papa. Papa responded with something, but I was too tired as he dressed me up and put me in my bed. I heard them talking for a few minutes before I drifted off to sleep.

It was a couple of hours later that Papa woke me up for a snack since it was the usual time for it. I smiled a bit and yawned. I was still sleepy, but I was managing to wake up. Papa brushed my hair for me as Dad made me a snack. I honestly felt better after the nap as I needed it after that. Papa and Dad seemed to be in a much better mood.

I guess they talked about it while I was taking a nap as they were showering me in kisses before giving me my snack. I loved being with them. It felt so nice to be loved in a household. I feel like if Mommy and Daddy had a pool, I'd be there fending for myself to stay alive. I guess that's technically what I had to do with them. They were pretty neglectful, but not Papa and Dad. They love me, and I love them. I'm happy to be with them.
