(Gabrielle's POV)

"Okay Tris, don't let go!" I said as I swam towards the deep end, him on my back. "Gabbie don't let me go!" Tristan cried, tightening his grip around my neck. I laughed. "Don't worry baby boy, we're almost there..." I reassured him. I was swimming Tristan down to the bench that was built into the wall at the deep end. He saw Chris and Andrea in it earlier and insisted we sit in it together. I stopped swimming and let him sit, and then I took a place next to him. He smiled. "It's so cool down here. Thank you Gab!" "No problem cutie pie. Just no kidding around okay? The water is very deep..." I said. Tristan nodded and held my hand tight. Poor baby was afraid of the deep end. Nick smiled and walked over. "Cool if I join?" Tristan nodded, and I placed him in my lap so there was enough room for Nick next to me. His arm instinctively wrapped around me, and I smiled, feeling safe. "Tristan! Come look at this bug!" Julian yelled from behind a shed. Tristan looked at me. "Gabbie?" I laughed and helped him out of the pool. "Go have fun." "Thank you!!" He kissed my cheek, and ran off. "Finally..." Nick smiled, and kissed me. "Baby, you heard what Geo said... Take it down a notch." I laughed. Nick blushed, and softly squeezed my thigh. He quietly whispered in my ear. "What he doesn't know won't kill him..." I laughed and tried get up, but Nick pulled me closer. "You're not getting away this time beautiful..." I smiled and cuddled into Nick. Things were peaceful, until Vinny entered the backyard again. He had this cocky stride to him, something I hadn't seen before. What had T-Money told him? He made his way over to us, smirking at me. "Hey gab! I just found out the craziest news!" Nick's jaw clenched, but I gently kissed his cheek. "Calm down baby... What Vinny?" Vinny sat on the ground next to the pool and smiled at me. "You used to be a Vinny girl!" I looked at him, completely and utterly shocked. The nerve of this kid! Vinny smirked, and gently touched my hand. "Don't worry, Gab. Your secret is safe with me. But just so you know, I ship Ginny..." With that, he winked and strode away. I say there, my mouth hanging wide open. That just happened....
