"Jump Ally! Jump! You can do it sweetie!" Olivia held her jump rope and cheered Allison on at the nearby park where they were spending the day at the splash pad.

Seeing that she'd wanted to take Allison out in public, Jonathan ordered her to take extra security and so they had five men there swarming the perimeter. Olivia tried to not let that distract them from their play time and she laughed heartily as Allison got several successful jumps in without tripping.

"Look Aunt Ollie! I did it! Did you see me?" Allison's red hair swung in her pigtails as she began to jump again but quickly pouted when the rope hit the hem of her shirt and messed up her streak. "Oh no!" she complained, pouting her lips and throwing her rope down. "Stupid rope!"

Olivia smoothed her hand down her white tank top and took off her ball cap before crouching down and shoving it down onto Allison's head and chucking her chin. She took her finger and flicked her lips until Allison broke and began to giggle, showing off her two missing teeth.

"Now, that's better! Princesses don't give up do they?"

"No."

"What?" Olivia cupped her hand to her ear. "I can't hear you!" she said loudly, feigning deafness.

Allison heaved a deep breath and then leaned forward with all her might. "NOOO!" she yelled, her freckled face turned pink with her efforts.

Olivia winced as Zero honed in on her and shifted his sunglasses down to pierce her with his eyes. She childishly stuck her tongue out at him before turning back to Allison and standing up. Adjusting her own sunglasses, she stepped back, flicking her jump rope behind her and getting a tiny thrill at the thin rope slapping the back of her legs, making her think of Colin.

"Now, just a little more and then we'll get ice cream from that vendor over there! And then we can play in the splash pad."

Allison squealed with excitement and hurried to put her jump rope in place and they spent the next ten minutes trying to beat each other's scores of how many jumps in a row before they got tangled. Handing off their ropes to security, they walked and got an ice cream cone for Allison and an ice cream sandwich for Olivia and sat on a bench, watching all the kids and their families playing in the splash pad.

Olivia looked over, seeing Allison looking at the baby area.

"Whatcha thinking about, lil' bit?" She asked, bumping her shoulder into Allison, who looked up at her with a bright smile, ice cream smeared on her chin. Seeing their security moving around, she smiled, seeing how inconspicuous they managed to look.

"My little brother coming. I’m so happy. I can't wait to see him. I'm going to be the BEST big sister. I'm going to help mom feed him." Allison said simply.
