"Nessa Jo! Come on!" I heard from downstairs. I grabbed my suitcase and walked down.

"Okay. I think I have everything. Where's dom? D honey..? You have your blankie?"

Dominick came in with his blanket. I smiled.

"Good. Cant forget that like last time. Hey babe did you make coffee? I think I need a little more."

"No you do not need more." He said. I smiled.

"I'm good. I'm great actually. It's our first family vacation and I'm so excited."

"I didn't ask how you were, but I'm very happy that you're happy."

I smiled. Dom came over. I picked him up.

"Are you excited?" I asked him. He nodded. I looked at lloyd.

"He's excited dad."

"Yeah. Let's go."

Dominick sat on my lap in the private jet. He was playing with his stuffy.

Lloyd and I decided we needed a weekend, so we took it. We were heading to Hawaii for two days just to get some space.

My husband moved to kiss his sons head. I smiled.

"So Nessa, you swimming with us?"

"Of course."

"Good."

I rubbed the back of Lloyd's head. He smiled at me. Dominick yawned and rested back on me.

I smirked. Lloyd looked at Dominick.

"You can sleep buddy." He said.

Dominick rested back more and curled up on me. I held him as close as possible.

"Night night." He said. I smiled and pulled the blanket on him more. Lloyd moved closer to me and kissed my head.

I smiled as my wife gave our son a bite of her ice cream. She was sitting on the couch while I finished up on emails. Once I was done I came over and sat next to Vanessa.

"Here." She said as she handed me the ice cream. I took a bite as Nessa picked Dominick up.

"I want mango." Dominick said.

"Oh my god he's just like you." I said to Nessa.

"Yeah? Well this is a great place for fruit. I think I have one in the fridge from my grocery order."

She glanced at me. I smiled.

"Do you know that when you were in mamas belly, she had a mango every single day?"

"It wasn't everyday." She said.

"Pretty much everyday."

She giggled. "I grew a little mango loving boy."

"Yeah." I said as I tickled Dominick's stomach. He laughed and fell into me. I smiled and laid back, setting my legs on Vanessa's lap.

"I like warm."

"Yeah? Like the warm outside?"

"No. You." He said as he crawled under my sweatshirt. He got through the hole. I smiled.

"Nice and warm now?" I asked.

"Yup."

Vanessa smiled and pulled out her phone, taking a picture. I blushed and looked at Dom.
