A/N: I always hated dropping ice creams as a child :( Thank God for older brothers is all I say. Hehehe, wrapped around my little finger *g*
~~~
As Clay and Sarah sat down the triplets quickly ran into the play area to check out the equipment while they finished their ice creams. Thinking it was a good view Tommy slowed down as they entered the gate knowing they shouldn’t stray to far from their uncle. Enthralled by the excitement that surrounded them Bobby failed to notice their stop and ran straight into Tommy dropping his ice cream in the process. Realising his ice cream for the day was now unedable tears started to flood his eyes.
Tommy and Jake looked over to Clay to see what they should do only to find that he was in deep conversation with Sarah. Having never seen him talk much with non-family members they assumed it was business, and they knew never to interrupt a grown up when they were working.
Knowing they couldn’t go running to Clay and seeing the hurt in his brothers eyes Jake bravely handed out his melting ice cream to Bobby. Seeing the ice cream in front of him he roughly wiped away the tears with the palm of his hands and gently took a hold of it.
“Fanks Jay” He smiled and licked at the ice cream, but it didn’t taste the same knowing Jake was going without.
Thinking quickly he broke off the bottom of his cone and scooped some of the ice cream into it making a mini cone for him. Seeing that the ice cream wasn’t even half the size of his Tommy decided to do the same so that they were all even. When the ice cream had been shared they all grinned happily at each other and gobbled it down as quickly as possible.
“Let’s play spy?” Jake suggested as he ate the last of his cone. They like their father had been raised on mission stories passed down from the many generations of Webb spying. Nodding with growing enthusiasm they huddled together to plan their mission.
First they would conquer the climbing frame and plan their route from there. Splitting up they silently ran to their first obstacle and slowly but surly scaled it in one. Once up top the other two crouched down while Tommy spied their targets.
“Oh no” He casually turned around to them and spoke as calmly as possible. “We got caught, Cway saw me”
“Fink he knows we gonna get him?” Bobby asked afraid the game was going to be over so soon.
Turning around Tommy sighed with relief as he saw his uncle was once again lost in conversation with Sarah. “No, he was just being sponsible….Eeww, yuck” He scrunched up his face and turned to them “They kissing”
All thoughts of the mission gone Bobby and Jake stood up just in time to see Sarah moving slowly away from Clay’s cheek. He smiled at her then said something and she kissed his other cheek.
Silently they decided to move in for a closer look. Quickly climbing down they ran to the gate and waited for the first opening they could find. As soon as he saw the woman pushing the pram Jake patted them on their arms to let them know to get ready and as she cross in front of Clay and Sarah they took off running.
Gathering together not too far behind the bench they nodded to each other and started creeping closer.
“Oh, come on” Clay bartered enjoying their game “Not many people know about my tattoo, I should get more than one kiss for that. Rabb would kill for it”
The triplets quietly giggled Clay actually wanted Sarah to kiss him. And he had a tattoo, they never knew about that.
“OK” She jokingly groaned, wondering how far they could take this. “One more kiss but that’s it” Smiling she moved in give him a quick chastised kiss not wanting to get to carried away in a public park, in the children’s play area no less.
As soon as their lips were about to touch they heard the giggling coming from behind them. Clay pulled away and rolled his eyes he should have known they would catch him, hell he did know he just didn’t want to pass up his chance with Sarah Mackenzie. And now soon the whole family would know that was a really stupid move, he would defiantly be getting a phone call from mother tonight.
Knowing they had been heard the triplets ran around the bench and sat between them to start the interrogation.
Looking up and making direct eye contact Tommy started “Unca Cway”
“Yes”
“You just kissed Sarwa?” Clay looked over as Sarah started to laugh she was having way too much fun at his expense.
“Yes”
“EEeewww” They all replied in unison then turned to Sarah.
“You auntie Sarwa now?” Jake asked the question that had been playing on all of their minds. Clay smiled at her stunned expression and just shrugged when she looked his way for help.
“I...uh.I.I…Clay” She glared at him as he burst into laughter.
Realising they weren’t going to get an answer they decided to change tactics “You love Unca Cway?” Bobby asked in all innocence as he climbed onto her lap to look her in the eye.
Clay stopped laughing immediately and was going to change the subject but a lump caught in his throat before he could say a word. Did Sarah love him? After the conversation they just had he defiantly wanted to find out.
Looking over he noticed the blush creeping into her cheeks as her mouth opened and closed quite a few times at a loss for what to say. Still stunned himself all he could do was nod towards to let her know whatever she wanted to say would be OK with him.
“I…I…I think I do” The kids cheered and she looked across to see four dimpled filled smile beaming back at her. Lifting Tommy on to his lap Clay scooted over, and rested his arm behind her head in a reassuring manner.
“I think I do too” He said in all honesty and turned to looked her in the eyes “I think we should find out for sure though… Auntie Sarah?” She nodded her agreement and rested her head on his arm as Clay leaned in for a kiss. With the kids watching they made sure it was just a light little peck on the lips but it was enough to start the fire within them, a sure promise of things to come.
