The next morning William and the boys stayed for breakfast on Michael's insistence and just before they left William made a suggestion.

W: Why don't me, you and the boys go to the park later on and have a picnic or something unless you're doing something else.

Mi: No, that sounds like a good idea.

W: Okay, I'll call you a little later then.

Mi: I'll be waiting for your phone call.

W: Boys let's go, say goodbye now.

C: Bye Aunt Olivia, bye Uncle Michael, bye bye Jakey.

M: Bye bye everyone.

W: Thank you for everything Olivia, I really appreciated it.

O: No problem, it was a joy having them here.

W: Do you want to join us later on for a picnic at the park?

O: I would love to but my Husband is arriving in an hour and I need to go pick him up.

W: Oh, okay then see you again.

O: Yeah, see you.

Mi: I'll be waiting for my phone call.

W: I'll call you in an hour or so, bye.

Mi: Bye. (He smiled closing the door)

O: Is there something that I need to know?

Mi: About?

O: William and you?

Mi: What about us?

O: Is there something going on between you two?

Mi: Wha... no!

O: I wouldn't mind if there was something, there's nothing wrong with it.

Mi: There's nothing going on Olivia. We're just friends and we both have kids.

O: If he makes you happy then there shouldn't be a problem, Mickey.

Mi: We're just friends 'Liv, now I need to go get Jake and leave because we have plans later.

O: Okay, enjoy yourself. (She smiled knowingly)

Mi: You too.

William's POV

C: Daddy, what are we doing today?

W: Uh, you're going to do all your homework. (He smiled)

C: I already did it yesterday.

W: Well then, you're going to have to stay in your room the whole day.

M: No daddy.

C: It's Saturday. (They complained)

W: I'm kidding, the three of us are going to have a picnic in the park with Michael and Jake in the afternoon.

M: Yay!

C: Yes!

W: So what do you want to do now?

M: Can we watch a movie?

W: Sure, I'll quickly go make us some popcorn and you two can choose a movie.

C: But we'll first go and get our blankets, right Matty?

M: Yup.

W: Okay, I'll be in the kitchen.

M: I'll race you.

W: No running up the stairs, I don't want either of you getting hurt.

M: Okay, daddy.
