"Emma! Natalie! Wait a minute!" Spencer called out to her fearless daughters, who were already stampeding towards the ocean. Both girls halted, slowly turning around and walking back towards their parents. "You need sunscreen. You don't want to burn, do you?"

The girls sighed impatiently as Spencer lathered them both up. "Let me rub some on Daddy, and then you can all three go out and play in the waves." Spencer said, turning Toby around so that his back was to her. She squirted some of the coconut scented sunscreen into her palm, then massaged it into Toby's toned back.

"Spence, aren't you going to get in the water?" Toby questioned, eyeing the book that Spencer had brought down with her.

Spencer stood on her tiptoes, reaching to rub some of the lotion on his shoulders and the back of his neck. "I don't think so," she answered, spinning him around. He placed his hands on her waste, watching as her hands roamed over his sculpted abs.

"Well I do," Toby replied, grabbing at her waist and hoisting her over his shoulder. The girls both squealed at the sight, and followed their parents towards the water.

"Toby! Put me down!" Spencer giggled, not putting much effort into actually attempting to free herself from his arms. Toby ventured into the water, stopping when he was knee deep. He slowly set Spencer into the water, and then turned to glance at his daughters. Both had stopped in their tracks at the edge of the shore, glancing out at the depths of the ocean. Toby waded back to them, and got on his knees in the sand so that he was practically eye-level with them.

"Natalie, Emma- You don't want to come in the water?" Toby asked quietly.

"Nuh uh. It's scary." Natalie answered, her eyes roaming back and forth between her father's comforting ones and the waves crashing along the shore.

"I promise it will be okay, Princess. Would Daddy ever let anything bad happen to you?" The girls peered up at their father through thick eyelashes. They mumbled incoherently and took a hesitant step towards the water's edge. Emma squealed as the water hit her toes for the first time. Her frightened look turned to one of pure joy as she bent over and splashed her hands in the shallow water before her. Spencer made her way back to the shore to join her small family, smiling at the sight before her.

"Daddy, look!" Emma shouted, holding up a seashell in her tiny hand. "What is it?"

"That's a sea shell, Emma. There are millions of them in the ocean. I bet you can find some more." Spencer answered her curious daughter, squatting down to help Emma search.

Natalie hesitantly walked towards her mother and sister, still afraid of the water. "Natalie," Spencer said as she turned towards her other daughter, "Do you want Mommy to hold your hand while you go in the water?"

Natalie nodded, holding her hand out to Spencer. Toby took her other hand, and then held onto Emma's as well. The four of them cautiously entered the water, and Spencer and Toby watched as their girls' faces lit up. Natalie began laughing uncontrollably, her contagious giggles sending her parents into a fit of laughter as well. Spencer scooped Natalie into her arms, cuddling her to her chest as she walked deeper into the ocean. Toby lifted Emma into the air, throwing her high above his head, one of her favorite things. When Spencer was up to her belly button in the water, Natalie's little feet were completely submerged. The waves came up and hit her in the stomach, causing her giggle to increase.

"Mommy, I like the ocean!" Emma declared from her spot in her father's arms.

"Oh you do, do you?" Spencer laughed, handing Natalie over to Toby. "I'm gonna run and get the camera so that I can take a few pictures." She kissed both girls on their unruly curls before heading back to her beach bag. She dried her hands on the nearest towel before grabbing her camera and snapping plenty of shots of her husband and daughters. Toby was definitely right, she needed a break from reality for a while.

"I think we wore them out today," Spencer said, peering at the sleeping girls that were curled up beside Toby. Emma was on his right, his arm resting around her small body, and Spencer mirrored her position on his left. Natalie was stretched out in his lap, her head resting against his chest.

"It was good for them." He sighed, planting a kiss on Spencer's temple. "We should probably get them into bed."

"You're right," she agreed, gathering Natalie into her arms. The girls were sharing a bed in the guest room, and as soon as they were both put into the queen sized bed, they unconsciously cuddled into one another. Toby gazed down at his girls. They were the spitting image of their mother, the three most gorgeous people he knew. Back in the day of high school and mean, teenage girls, he never would have thought he would end up so lucky. He wrapped his arm around his wife's waist, pressing a kiss to her temple. "I think we should get you to bed, too."

"I think I have a better idea," she responded, wrapping her fingers around his. She guided him out of the guest room and into their room, only to step out onto the balcony. They had the perfect view of the stars and the ocean. Spencer gently pushed Toby into the lounge chair, and curled up against him, tangling her legs with his. "It's beautiful out here," she mumbled, resting her head on his shoulder and her hand over his chest.

"You're beautiful." Toby whispered, bringing his hand up to run it through her sun dried hair. She peered up at him, an insane amount of emotions coursing through her veins at his words. She stretched up to kiss his lips, and he deepened the contact, pulling her around so that she was straddling his hips. Her hands went directly to his shirt, running her fingers gently beneath it, feeling his muscles tense up as she did so. He answered her movements by carefully pulling her shirt over her head, leaning down to kiss every possible inch of newly revealed skin. She reached behind her neck to loosen the strings of the swimsuit she had yet to take off. Toby watched, mesmerized as the material fell to her hips. He stared at her, unashamedly. She took his cheeks into her hands and drew his face back to hers, kissing him with all of the emotion built up inside of her.

"I love you, Toby" she whispered in between kisses, letting her hands pull his shirt over his head, and wasting no time in helping him to shed his board shorts. Spencer had never been so thankful that her parents bought a fairly secluded condo. Toby had managed to get her out of her bottoms and both were completely naked.

"I love you more than anything," he returned, "Now let's get this vacation started right..."

I know this chapter was short... And I can't even begin to apologize for the ridiculous amount of times between updates. I will however, try to justify my actions. I am a first year college student, and my classes are kicking my ass. I honestly don't know when I will be able to update again. I thought about just deleting this story completely, but occasionally I use this fanfiction as a sort of therapy. I have absolutely no plan as to where this story is going, I just write it as I think it. It most likely will be all fluff and adorable-ness between my favorite couple and made up twin girls. I might throw some trouble in every once in awhile. Like I said, though, I don't know when another update will come, and I apologize for that. I would like to thank you all for reading, though. I really do appreciate your wonderful feedback!
