Aubrey and Caroline <3

[Caroline Bouvier]

"Baby, look at the fishies!" Caroline cooed as she held her little man up so he could look at all of the various fish in the aquarium. She was having a day relaxing day with her boyfriend and their darling son. How could she not be having fun? How often could she do this? She knew that most people wouldn't view this as a fun anything because they probably went to the aquarium often but with their busy schedules, it was just hard to find the time in the week!

She pecked Aubrey on the cheek before placing Daniel back in his stroller. "Yikes, look at that!" She pointed to a rather large scary looking fish which made Daniel cover his eyes and say a pathetic, "Mama! Monster!" Which was her cue to continue on with their little walk, "We don't do this kind of thing enough, Aubrey." She really didn't think that it was possible to have too much family time so there was always room for more like possibly every single day could have at least three hours devoted solely to being a family which was harder than one would expect.

She'd been having to work more lately to replace a co-worker who was pregnant right now and on maternity leave so she had to take all of her patients on for the remainder. Fun.

It actually kind of was since none of the kids that she treated were biters or pukers.

It was true, they hardly ever did any of this family quality time together. Although, it wasn't like Caroline ever really gave him a reason to. Sure, they lived together and sure they supported a house together but that didn't mean that she actually felt anything for him. For Christ's sake, Leo has told him far more times how much he loved him (like a brother, of course) more than Caroline ever has and he doesn't sleep or live with Leo.

"It's a big monster and it's gonna get you. Grrr!" Aubrey bent over slightly to tickle his young champ before standing up and continuing their walk. He then looked to Caroline, he smiled endearingly, "We don't but it's good that we are. It's been a really long time since I've been to an aquarium..." he bit his nail slightly before smiling and laughing slightly as he turned to her.

Caroline had a feeling that he was getting impatient with the whole 'L' word situation but she just couldn't seem to form the words just yet and she wanted to say it for the first time in just the right way at just the right time not all of the sudden for no reason! "Awe, Aubrey, I love you."

What?

Even Daniel gave her a funny look, he'd never heard her say that before probably because she'd never actually said it before and she was quite embarrassed by the way that she'd kind of blurted it out.

Aubrey almost choked on his saliva. Not because he was surprised but because damn, finally. He then looked to her and smiled, a very coy and simple smile, "I love you too, Caroline." he tilted his head before looking away from her and then sighing in relief - and satisfaction.

See, was that so hard?

Was it?

Wait a minute...

"Wait, are you just saying that because I sound uninterested?" he was just testing her. To see how genuine her love was for him as his was for her.

[Caroline Bouvier]

"No! I'm saying it because it's about damn time that I said it and I know that you've been waiting for a long time." Caroline assured him with a wide grin before she leaned over to give him a passionate kiss in the middle of the aquarium and in front of their young son who made a disgusted face and said, "Eww!"

He didn't find it appealing and neither did the glaring parents who walked by as if they were having sex in front of all of the young children present. "I love you, I love you, I love you! It just feels so good to finally say it and really mean it and I am so glad that I just said it because I do love you. I love you so much."

[aubs]

Of course Aubrey kissed Caroline back, she was professing her love, why the hell not? However, when it got out of hand he backed away politely and just kept holding her. "Oh, aw, Caro, I love you too." he kissed her cheek, "I love you, I love you, love you I do." he pecked her on the lips then both of her cheeks again.

Poor Danny, he must have thought his parents were freaks for doing that. Luckily, he wasn't a teenager.

Aubrey then let go of her and said, "But we should continue our walk because Daniel is feeling a little uncomfortable." he nodded, widening his eyes as he looked anywhere but at Daniel.

"Oh! Our poor little man!" Caroline mused as she lifted him from his stroller, she was holding him on her hip while pushing the stroller with her free hand. "How about if mommy and daddy buy you a stuffed whale from the gift shop? Would that help you forget that ickiness?" She was happy to see his little head shaking up and down indicating that he thought that it would help.

So, she turned the stroller into the little gift shop and set him on the ground with the instructions to look for a toy that he wanted... He had already grabbed a stuffed whale and a plastic fish toy that sang and was just finding more.

Oh the life of a young rich boy.

"Aubrey, look at your son! He's going to end up having us buy him half the store!" She pointed with a giggle before leaning her weight onto her boyfriend's body.
