She was strangely a mix of scared but more excited than scared for this day trip that they were taking their daughter on. She could see Ella's need for adventure and she was never going to want that taken away from her as she pushed Ella in her buggy as she walked beside David. "This is exciting," she said. "More exciting than that is my return to work after this and being able to have Ella in the day care. I am talking to Avery about putting us on a project together, she said that she is considering it." David Lightfeather

Ella was looking cute today as she observed life from her buggy. David been back to work for brief periods of time but soon he'd start back properly. Then they'd see how well Ella suited daycare. There was also other news as Peyton told him they might be on a project together fairly soon. By now Ella was four weeks old and getting more mobile and curious. To looking to the two ladies in his life he replied "that's great news. Today we all have fun on the sea. This is more like a floating restaurant with a bit of cruise ship and we'll have six hours or so". It wasn't the biggest boat on the island but roomy enough to have a dining area and a top deck. So they could have a nice extended lunch as the early afternoon tour was about to start. Then they arrived and their tickets were checked. Once boarded David needed to fold the buggy but made sure Ella was content in her carry basket. She was wide awake and trying to talk; the noises sounded content. The next stop was lunch. David and Peyton would have more of a choice than Ella would get but he knew she liked fruit juices. Peyton Coldstone

"Okay," she said as she needed. They spent plenty of time with their daughter so currently she did not see any reason why six hours on a cruise ship would be any different. Her biggest hope was that it help to keep their child curious enough that she did not find herself too bored not that she ever seen that as an option anyhow. "I did not even know something like this existed. We definately need to make sure we learn about everything as much as we can so that we are aware as Ella gets older." David Lightfeather

"I heard about this trip from a colleague in ARI. They'd went on it and its a different way of seeing the island. There's also an evening tour version of this" David replied as inevitably Ella was seeing people and wanting to know more. She didn't seem to even tire that often either. "I brought the harness so she can't get too far away but she's already getting on with Graysen's daughter Diana. When we had a daddy and daughter time at the beach they got on really well. So I don't think she'll be short of company at daycare" he added as he put this on her. He was also carrying the baby bag as for now they were on the top deck looking out over the dock and pier; the rest of the city was laid out in front of them and before long they'd see more the sea and the shore. As well as be able to get lunch as a family. Ella had a couple of bottles already in her baby bag. Peyton Coldstone

"I'm glad that she has made a friend already." The baseball player. "I like him he seems nice but that wife of his," she was a lot. "It works for them though maybe they can come over one day." Couple things were what she called them though she was not quite sure how that worked a lot either. "This was a good idea, thank you." David Lightfeather

Ella wasn't going anywhere yet. Sticking close to mommy and daddy was her plan for now as David looked back to Peyton. "I only had the baseball game with Decipher but a couples day would be good; also good for Diana and Ella. I'll ring Graysen once we get back to find out if we can arrange a day for this". Then he could feel the deck moving as the journey was about to start. The almost ferry had to back out first before it turned its bulk east. "I've heard the menu is pretty good as well my love" he replied as Ella was poking mommy. She wanted time with her which proved she wasn't all daddies girl. Peyton Coldstone

As long as she had been here she still considered herself an inside person and yet here they were outside. Ever since having the baby she knew it was what was best for her so she did not fight it and getting around to what a person neede was always going to be key. "Any idea what is on the menu?" she asked as she took Ella. "It's like she knows that we are talking and is trying to get a word or a movement in," she said as she laughed. David Lightfeather

"I've heard its a hotel standard menu. So it should be good" David replied with a smile. He was loving today so far. He also had the two ladies in his life with him as Ella kept nudging her mom until she got lifted. He loved them as well. He was certainly more of an outdoor person given the way he grew up in rural England. "Ella certainly wants to be involved. I'm sure of that" he added. She did seem to be more vocal than other babies he knew; she wasn't talking yet but those noises were her communicating and when she wasn't doing that she was exploring and poking. He then checked his watch. "We should be able to get lunch shortly" he cheerfully added. Miss Ella would have a bottle for lunch but he supposed a little ice cream couldn't hurt. Peyton Coldstone

There was a small part of her that wondered what it would be like to raise an advanced baby as far as movements and learning but she also wanted to enjoy the small moments so she was doing that."You know I rented out my apartment when I first moved into yours and I am going to put that money up and away for Ella's college fund. I think that would be the nicest use for it and food does sound good." David Lightfeather

Peyton had a good plan and it was a good idea to start that kind of financial planning now. Ella would most likely go to college later on in her life; and on this island she'd grow up knowing her full abilities when that time came. He wondered if she'd take more after him or Peyton. She could even find her own abilities. "That sounds like a great plan and it won't be long until we can start eating" he replied. Soon enough they were an the table he'd booked as part of their tickets looking over menus. It was a nice place to dine with tuxedo wearing waiters and waitresses and he did start by selecting a beer while they made their minds up. This was a date day as Ella was in a high chair not needing a bottle yet. Peyton Coldstone

"We can day drink?" she asked. She had had some of the drinks here but she had not tasted everything and she did not think that she would today but she did want something more along the light fruit side. "You know what I am just going to get a beer because it will not do much to me with a good amount of food and I do want Ella to take in all that she can and will do." David Lightfeather

"Off course we can my love. I'm not going to overdo things" David softly replied. So that was two beers ordered for starters while they looked over the menu together. You could get anything here that you'd find on the island but something simple would work for him. So he settled for poached fish, baby potatoes, vegetables and a creamy sauce. Peyton Coldstone

She had never known him to overdo things and so that made her feel better. She had went with salmon with a lemon baste and carrots so her plate was very bright which also seemed to get Ella's attention a little bit but she found it cute. "So are you interested in doing that side project with me? I am thinking of looking into cloning, not cloning a person but dna cloning I think is the best way to word it." David Lightfeather

David also noted that their daughter was interested in the brightly coloured lunch Peyton had chosen. That would be worth remembering when it came to solid food choices once she was ready for them. She should be able to handle ice cream later on as he weighed up an answer to Peyton's question. It would be unusual even in ARI but not impossible to do. "I'd like to tackle that project but it could lead to other fields eventually. Quite possibly a way of preserving a persons DNA. I still think we're quite a way off cloning a person" he replied with a smile as Ella was trying to get his attention as well. "You don't get this food yet" he softly told her "but we'll try ice cream later on". Peyton Coldstone

"We might very well be off from a person but maybe not say a rat. I am not sure how far any of it would go but you have seen yourself how things seem to move faster here depending. I do not know how I just know sometimes it does happen that peaks my curiosity if nothing else." David Lightfeather
