Thank you vocalmichael for this adorable idea.
Ashton-
Ashton had just gotten home on a break from 5 seconds of summer's most recent tour. You figured the day after such a long flight and not getting much sleep for months, he would want to rest. You told the children that night to let him rest the next morning, but that was not what Ashton had planned.
Ashton woke you all up at 7 o'clock in the morning, telling you to get dressed because he had a full day of adventures planned. You and your two kids, Olivia 6 and Liam 9, rushed to get ready. When you were all ready to go, you all piled in the car and started on your family day.
Ashton drove you all to iHop first because he knew his kids were hungry and loved pancakes, then you headed to the pool for a few hours, and your final destination of the day was a beautiful park in the middle of your hometown.
"This was a great day ash, thanks for planning it." You said once you both finally had the chance to sit down.
"What can I say," he shrugged, "I just wanted us all to have an amazing family day."
You smiled as your daughter walked over. "Daddy will you play hide and seek with us?" She asked innocently.
"Of course," Ashton smiled brightly and began counting. When he reached twenty he jumped up and went to search for your hidden kids.
He found Liam first and tickled him till he was red in the face. "Dad- dad- sto- stop," he choked out between laughs.
When ashton was done tickling Liam he asked, "you wanna help me find your sitter bud? She seems to be a really good hider."
Liam nodded his head and then they went on the look out for Olivia. When the found her she was hidden in a plastic tree trunk under the play ground. "Got you!" Ashton announced and began tickling her too.
Olivia let out a little screech and then began laughing hysterically. The smiles on your family's face brought the widest smile to yours. "And what an amazing day it was,"
Luke-
Luke and you had decided to split up for a while a few weeks ago, you were always fighting and just decided it would be better to take a break. Luke was staying at an apartment he had a few towns over while you stayed in the house you had both shared. Neither of you really planned on getting a divorce without trying to fix the problems you had, but you both thought they might be better solved apart. Your 14 year old daughter Cara, thought otherwise.
She didn't understand how anything could get fixed if you weren't together. She had heard you talking to your friend over the phone about how if marriage counselling didn't work a divorce may be the only solution, and Cara had never been more bitter.
You had gotten her to open back up to you over the last few weeks, but with Luke she was colder than ice. The weekends he had her, only about 30 words escaped her mouth the entire time she was there. Luke couldn't get her to open up no matter what he did, so he decided to try a new method. A family outing.
When Luke told Cara to get ready at 9 o'clock on her first day of Christmas break she was not happy, but she also didn't have the energy to argue so she threw on some clothes and walked into the kitchen.
She grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and was getting ready to pour herself a bowl of cereal when Luke came out of the bathroom and said, "you won't need that, we're going out."
Cara furrowed her eyebrows as to ask, "what do you mean?" And Luke answered her questions with a simple, "dad daughter day."
Cara rolled her eyes and put the bowl up. "When are we leaving?" She asked.
