Ryan held onto ambers hand as he walked with her slowly to the park, they were supposed to meeting Ethan there to spend some time together since he and eth had promised each other they would stay close they had been meeting up regularly and hanging out and now with Martha back visiting her family Ryan had Amber and felt it was only right that she spent some time with her uncle.She had been pretty excited about it and even made him a drawing when they were back home of him, Corrie, Ryan, Martha and amber."go play on the swings if you want sweetie uncle Ethan will be here soon" he said as he smiled down at his daughter and let go of her hand as he watched her rush towards the play area.

Ethan walked along the path at the park. Today was his day off from work and Ryan had called him earlier asking if he'd come hang out at the park with him and Amber. Eth had thought that it was a great idea. He knew that Martha was away visiting her family so Ryan may need a bit of extra help plus he'd never turn down a chance to hang out with him and Amber. Today he thought he'd bring Amber a little something, he had a backpack slung over his back that had a medium sized teddy bear in it plus some juice boxes and teddy grahams. There was enough for the three of them but it was mostly for her. Nearing the play area Eth smiled when he saw Amber playing with some other small children. Walking up next to Ryan he finally spoke, "She sure is something isn't she" He said, not starting out with a greeting this time but instead he complimented Amber. She was a great kid and he loved the fact that she considered him her uncle.

Ryan was too caught up in watching Amber play and be so happy that he didn't even realize Ethan had headed in his direction.A huge smile was on his face at the sight of his daughter running around and being so carefree, she was only a toddler but she seemed to be growing up so fast in his eyes.The sound of Ethan's voice broke his concentration and he turned his head in the direction of the sound.Seeing his cousin standing there made the smile grow warm as he complimented amber "Yeah, i love her to bits eth" he said as his eyes traveled back to the play area "its so overwhelming" he then decided to make a joke of it "but she had to turn out great i mean, look who her father and uncle are" he laughed a little as he looked back to Ethan "I'll call her over in a sec, we can go for a walk...whats in the backpack?" he asked.

Eth waited for Ryan to respond, he had a feeling to why he hadn't yet. He usually got like this when he was around Amber. When he did, Eth smiled and nodded, "I bet it is.. I find it so rewarding to be an uncle, I can't imagine what it's actually like to be a father" He said as he continued to watch Amber run around the play area. He couldn't help but laugh at the joke Ryan had made, "Yes, you make a good point. That girl has amazing genes" He said, looking back at Ryan, the smile still on his face. Nodding as Ryan told him about going for a walk he remembered the bag, "Oh well I just brought her some treats and well a little surprise" He replied, hoping that she'd like what he had got her.

Ryan smiled at what Ethan said, he was so happy that Amber considered Ethan her uncle because well to Ry eth was his brother and it was always going to be that way."its amazing, i mean i know we were young when it happened but ive never regretted it" he smiled and looked towards Ethan again "Eth you didn't have to do that, but I'm sure she will love you for it..she has something for you too, she did it this morning" he was about to continue when he glanced over because Amber began shouting for him, she had climbed up one of the climbing frames and couldn't get down, he laughed "hang on a sec" he rushed over to her and helped her down, keeping her in his arms as he walked back to Ethan "shall show uncle Ethan what you did for him this morning sweetie?" Amber then nodded and Ryan reached into his pocket handing over the drawing that his daughter had made for Ethan.

Ethan listened to what Ryan had to say about being a dad, "Well that's good to hear...plus you are becoming a great father, Amber is lucky to have you and Martha" He said and then waited while Ryan continued. A smile appeared on his face when Ryan said that she had something for him. Hearing that made him feel good, he then watched as Ry left to go help Amber down. When they came back he gave Amber a warm smile, "Heyyyy" He said, "Oh, this is for me?" He said excitedly as he took the piece of paper from Ryan. The smile on his face became even larger when he looked at it. "Oh my gosh" He said, "I love it, this is going right on my fridge as soon as I get home" He added as he looked at her, "Thank you so much, I have something for you too" He said as he took the backpack off of his back, he opened it up and pulled out the teddy bear, "For you" He said, smiling as he held the bear out for her to take. Ethan loved the picture, it meant a lot that she had drawn it for him.

"Thanks Eth, that really means a lot but you know i wouldnt be anywhere without your help, corrie too i mean you guys are like an aunt and uncle to her, shes lucky to have you" he gave a sincere smile.Once he had given Ethan the piece of paper he had an excited smile on his face as he looked down at Amber, she hadnt given it to him herself because she was often shy around people, even if it was Ethan, she was just like it with anyone.When Ethan said he loved the drawing a smile appeared on the little girls face, her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands "yay you love it uncle ethan!" she exclaimed happily as ryan put her to the ground, she then made her way towards him when he said he had something for her, once again she laughed and looked excited as she took the teddy bear from him and began to hug it, she held out her arms for him to pick her up.Something she never usually did with people other than Martha and Ryan."Wow thats something new, you are truly loved" ryan smiled.

"It's no problem at all, it's what families do, help each other out. And don't worry because we won't be going anywhere" He said with a smile but then forgot about those comments when Amber spoke. She was so happy to hear that he loved it, "Well of course I would, I love anything you do" He said, smiling as he looked at the picture but then back at her. Watching as she began to hug the teddy bear his smile became wider, she seemed to really like it and that made Ethan happy. He was a little surprised when she held her arms out for him because he knew that she was shy around most people and only did that for Ry and Marti. That didn't stop him though, she wanted him to pick her up so that's what he did. Leaning down he carefully picked her up, holding her close to him. He nodded to what Ryan had said, "Yes this is, but then of course i'm loved. I'm just so lovable, just like this little monkey" He said with a laugh as he looked at her.

Ryan smiled "i should hope not, i need your help too much" he laughed "so, how are you and corrie anyway? sorry for not asking, my mind was just all like woah!" he raised his hands and shook them in a motion to portray what his mind was like.He watched as Ethan held amber in his arms, it was so cute because it was the first time she had ever asked someone else to pick her up.He had to get a picture and show it to martha when she got back.Taking out his phone he held it up "Smile sweetie" he said "You too amber" he joked and stuck out his tongue as he took the picture.When ethan called Amber a monkey she looked up at him and giggled cutely "you a monkey" she replied still giggling.Ryan laughed and closed his phone, putting it back in his pocket.

Eth nodded, "Yeah, good point... with out me you'd be totally lost" He said laughing along with Ryan. He then heard Ryan's question about him and Corrie, "It's okay but well, um.. everything is great, amazing even but I think that college might ruin it all" He said with a frown on his face. But when Ry called him sweetie it caused him to laugh again, "Alright fine hun I will" He said going along with the joke and then smiled as he took the picture. Eth shook his head with a smile on his face when Amber called him a monkey, "No you are.. you're my little monkey" He said with a laugh.
