Caroline's POV:

After sleeping on it I realized I was being a little more dramatic than I thought. I don't think Luke meant to come off as excited when he was being hit on, I'm sure he was just doing it to keep the fans happy.

I took time this morning to get up and cook everyone breakfast almost as an apology for being a buzzkill. I woke up extra early and started up, I cooked up some eggs, bacon, sausages and of course I couldn't forget the biscuits and gravy.

I set the coffee up and let it brew, before I know it Luke was standing in the doorway of the front lounge holding Bo in his right arm.

He looked slumped, he slowly shuffled beside me and grabbed a bottle of milk from the small fridge. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped him and Bo up before putting the bottle in Bo's mouth and feeding him.

Not one word came out his mouth until poured him a cup of coffee and handed it to him, "Thank you." He said in his deep morning voice.

"Welcome." I said taking Bo from his arms and putting him in the bouncer. One by one the guys started sliding out of their bunks and began grabbing plates of food and sitting down.

"Thank you Caroline." Ethan smiled bright.

"Ya thanks Carol, this is good." Kent said.

"No problem guys." I grinned and sat back.

"There's no show till Thursday, we don't leave till Tuesday. Let's make the most of these days while Carol's here and go to the water park or something." Carter suggested.

"Yeah we should." I smiled at Carter.

"Then it's a plan!"

We all put our bathing suits on and we're heading out of the bus door in no time. I had on a basic bikini that was really cute with a matching long skirt and gold sandals, but I was lost excited about Bo's outfit.

I got Bo these little trunks that were red with blue little flowers on them and a swim shirt that match with the words "lil surfer dude" on it, a navy bucket hat, some little shades, and navy flip flops to top it all off.

Luke wore these checker patterned black, grey, and white colored trunks with his flip flops, and a black baseball cap with a plain grey t-shirt.

Luke's POV:

I was out of it for some odd reason today. I didn't feel under the weather just more or less irritated for some non apparent reason. I wasn't in the mood to be around anyone I just kinda wanted to stay in all day and sleep.

However, my plans were squashed once Carter and Carol decided we should go to a nearby water park. I figured I could sleep on some beach chair while everyone went out and rode the slides and what not.

We took the Bronco out of the back trailer and headed off. Once we'd gotten to our destination I unloaded Bo and helped carry his diaper bag into the park. We paid and found seats since it was quite empty, thank God for that.

I put on sun screen so I would burn up when I feel asleep and put some on Bo too. I swiped some on his little nose and let Caroline take him into the wave pool where they just chilled at the edge.

I, myself kicked back and closed my eyes. It wasn't too long until my slumber was interrupted but someone.

"I'm gonna go on one of the slides, do you care to join me?" Carol asked pointing to a tall baby blue slide that towered over the rest of the park.

I lifted up my shades and got a better view of the ginormous slide, "uh– yeah, I guess." I replied groggy.

Carol put Bo in the his stroller near Ethan who was scrolling through his phone. "Yo, we'll be back in 15." I told him.

"Alright, I don't change diapers though." He told me.

"I don't care." I snapped at him.

"Chill out Luke, it was obviously a joke." Kent patted my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and trudged off with Carol.

"You okay?" She cocked an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.

"You don't seem like it, you're off today."

"I don't even know what the hell is wrong with me today either." I expressed, annoyed with myself.

"You're probably just stressed."

"Yeah, probably." I mumbled looking down. I knew I'd figured out what my real problem was but I wasn't about to push something that might piss off Carol.

"Next!" The lifeguard shouted.

Carol sat in the front of the 2 seater inner tube and I sat in the back. Her arms wrapped around my legs as the lifeguard kicked our tube down the slide.

It twisted and turned in the dark before the top of the slide was no longer there and the sunlight was shinning on our faces again.

Caroline was screaming as we slowly peaked down at the small drop we'd have to go down before reaching the end.

I laughed all the way down as cool water splashed my face. We ended up going on a couple more slides before heading back to our seating area.

I cheered up a bit more after spending sometime with Carol alone. Bo was still awake in his car seat only this time he was crying I picked him up and walked us towards the wave pool again.

It was about the only place he could be to touch the water. Everywhere else he was too young to hang out at. I sat at the edge as the water slowly rose and touched his little feet. He giggled with joy each time.

It began to get dark quicker than usual so we headed back to the bus. I let Carol shower up first while I gave Bo a bath in the sink. Mamaw used to do it to us when we were small enough to fit in it, it was the quickest and easiest way to get him cleaned up and to bed.

I finished up his bath and wrapped him in a little towel and carried him to the back lounge when I rubbed lotion on him, put his diaper on and pajamas. He was already asleep by the time I laid him down
