It had been three and a half weeks since that dreadful accident that almost changed Chesa's, Amber's, Rachelle's, the guys and their family's lives
forever. All of them had come to a full recovery. Howie was getting his cast off in one week, Kevin had
just gotten the bandaging around his stomach removed and AJ, Brian, and Nick had come to a full recovery, although they might suffer from migranes, but that is
something they could handle. Howie had organized for them to all meet up at a picnic in Tampa while
Rachelle, Amber and Chesa were visiting. Each one of the picnicer's had brought something for the picnic and they had all brought their baseball, football
and basketball equipment, all but Howie of course (cast). Howie was a good sport and didn't mind being
the umpire and referee. Chesa stood up and grabbed her glove after finishing her tuna salad sub.
"Ok, who wants to play catch?" She asked. All the guys stood up, Chesa looked over at Rachelle and Amber, "Aren't you guys gonna play?"
"Na, we aren't very good. Remember, you're the athletic one. I only play volleyball." Amber replied. Chesa looked at Rachelle.
"Hey, I play guitar, it's good enough for me." Rach replied. Chesa sighed.
"Ok then, but if you guys wanna play, feel free." Chesa assured and ran off to join the guys. "Now, I don't want you to throw softly to me, I need some practice, softball season is comming up." She announced as she threw the ball to Kevin. Howie began
talking to AJ as he sat on the ground a couple feet away from everybody.
"Well, things seem to be back to normal." Rachelle sighed as she watched Chesa yell at Brian and AJ for picking on her and teasing her. Amber chuckled as she
watched Brian head over to Chesa, who was not talking to him now, then hold her tight and give her a long kiss. Amber stood up, Rachelle following, and began walking over to the guys.
"Yeah, everything is as it should be." She replied as Nick and Kevin grinned and faced their gals to give them kisses under the early afternoon sun by the bay.
