"Daddy can we go go to the Park, Plwease " Ruby Jumped onto her Mummy and Daddy's bed. Nicole had gotten up early to go to work so it was going to be Ruby and Jai for the day until later on.

Jai woke up from his daughter jumping on the bed so he hid under the blankets why Ruby was still jumping and trying to wake him up.

He flung the cover over and tickled Ruby making her fall down in his lap and squirm around.

"D-d-d-d-daddy s-s-stopp it " She laughed, Jai stopped a minute later and laughed.

"Daddy can we go Plwease daddy " Ruby asked, making the puppy face at him, knowing that when she always does it he can never say no to her.

"Aww Ruby the puppy face, come on be nice to daddy" Jai pouted playfully and stuck his tongue out.

"Plllllwwwwweeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeee Can we Me and Uncle Lukey Wanna go so bad " Jai froze when Ruby said that.

"Daddy, Hellloooo Daddy " Ruby waved her small hand in front of his face, he snapped out of his trance.

"Ruby what did you mean by You and Uncle Lukey sweetie" he asked looking at her. Ruby looked at her father and then too her right side and then back to her daddy.

"Sweetie is Uncle Lukey here now " he pointed to her right side, she sat in his lap facing him, she nodded and looked shyly at him.

"Yes daddy, he told me to come wake you up, because you always woke him up like that " Ruby said.

"Well tell Lukey that we'll go sweetie " he said getting up out of bed. Ruby clapped and jumped off the bed.

"Daddy you he heard you anyway" Ruby said excitedly running out the room. Luke jumped up and down excited to go to the park.

'Kiana is right Ruby really can see Lukey, I'll have to ask her ' he thought going to his closet to get a top and shorts out.

They were both dressed and ready to go to the park, they got in the and drove to the park.

Ruby went on the swings, down the slippery dip, on the monkey bars, and on the see-saw, Once she was finished I with playing on the playground she run over to Jai and They walked away going and getting some ice cream them coming back and sitting down on the ground near the pond.

"Daddy tell me a story please of Uncle Lukey and You when use were young. Pllllleeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeeeee" Ruby begged and pouted. Jai agreed because he could never say no to Ruby's puppy face.

Okay sweetie how about I tell you a story of when we were young around 6" Jai said looking at his daughter, She nodded and got excited.

"Okay now me and your Uncle would've been around 6-7 years old and in primary school and I got sick and we begged Nonna Brooks to take us to the Park" Jai said remembering that day so well.

~~~ Flashback ~~~

It was quiet in the brooks household today. Beau was sleeping, Jai and Luke were sleeping, and Gina had gotten up so she could make breakfast, get the kids ready for primary school, drop them off and then head to work.

Luke had woken up to Jai thrashing about on the bottom bunk, worried that Jai wasn't okay Luke quickly got down the ladder and walked over to Jai. he gently tried to wake him.

"Jaiiiiii . Jaaaaaiiiiiiii. Jai Jai wake up, stop wriggling around" he whispered loud enough for Jai to still hear him, Luke shook Jai's shoulder and still nothing.
