Also there's Anthony's other uncle, that guys wife and their kids Gilbert(10), Hercules(12), and Rachel(16). Ok I'm done.

Jasmine's POV

"Come on Jas!" Ant yelled from the kitchen. I grabbed my suitcase and ran to him. He slid his arm around my waist and we went down to the cab.

After the drive we met Steph at the airport.

"LET'S GO TO FLORIDA!" She yelled. Tired travelers gave us dirty looks.

"She loves this trip." Ant whispered to me. I giggled as we watched Steph run to get our bags checked.

We got on the plane and I immediately fell asleep.

Anthony's POV

"We're here." I said quietly to Jas, who was sleeping with her head on my shoulder. She groggily got up and I helped her get her suitcase from the overhead compartment. We met up with Steph and got our rental car.

"There's a lot of kids in our family. Just so you know." I said to Jas. Steph nodded from the backseat.

We got to the house that we rented and walked inside. I was met with five of my nieces and nephews jumping ontop of me. Jas giggled at me as I fell to the ground.

"Get off Uncle Anthony!" My brother's wife, Nina, said as she walked into the room. The children got up. I stood, walked up to Nina, and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hi Anthony! Oh who is this?" She asked. I smiled.

"That's my girlfriend, Jasmine." I said. Jas smiled and hugged Nina. The rest of my family soon came in and introduced themselves.

"Where's Ma?" I asked my older brother Mario.

"Her flight doesn't come in for another two hours." He answered. I frowned and headed to the living room.

"Hey Phoebe!" I said cheerily to my gothic cousin who was sitting on the couch with her headphones on. She ignored me.

"She's not very talkative." I whispered to Jas. She giggled. We grabbed our suitcases and walked upstairs to our room.

Jas jumped on the bed and gasped.

"It's so comfy!" She exclaimed. I chuckled at her.

Jas then proceeded to run around the room, pointing out anything she found remotely exciting. She ran out onto the balcony. I followed her.

"Ant!" Jas exclaimed, hugging me and resting her head on my chest. "Look how beautiful it is." I smiled.

"I know Jas, I've gone to this house for vacation for the past twenty years." Jas frowned and looked up at me.

"Did you ever take her here?" She asked. She didn't even have to specify who her was. (it's Emma btw)

"No no no. You're the first person I've ever brought here." I said. Jas smiled and snuggled closer to me. "My mom is very excited." I continued. She smiled even brighter.

We walked downstairs with our fingers intertwined.

"Uncle Anthony can you come swimming with us?" My nephew, Alex, asked while tugging on the bottom of my shirt.

"Sure!" I said crouching down so I was at his height. "But only if Aunty Jasmine can come with us. Alex nodded we ran upstairs to get changed.

Jas and I got downstairs and were about to join Alex and his siblings in the pool when Jas ran up to Phoebe.
