Daniel hadn't been to the lake in a while, a long while, and the last time he had been alone. That day had been hard. Now he stood on the shore with his fingers threaded through his wife's, daughter on his shoulders. The sun was shining, a light summer breeze coming off the water. He gave Julchen's hand a light squeeze as he turned his gaze down to her eyes, a gentle smile forming on his face. "I've missed this." It had been a year since Etzel's death but it was still hard. The loss of a child was like that though. Needing something to distract himself from that he tugged her against his side, releasing her hand to drape his arm over her shoulder. "I've heard from Cecelia that Antal has a surprise for us." He wasn't going to tell her that he already knew what it was. He'd play dumb and get her all irritated at him; even though they weren't kids anymore he couldn't resist teasing her from time to time.

It really had been a long time since they had been there together. If he were to express his feelings towards their son's death, Julchen would tell she felt the same. Daniel and each of their children held a spot all their own in her heart. Etzel's died with him, and it felt like a small part of herself was gone. And that hurt. Why hadn't he told her? Why did he hide it from them all..? She could have helped him. She would have made sure everything that could have been done was done. It was a thought that always manage to dwell in her mind. Staying out at the water, that's what she was thinking then until she heard his voice. She looked up, bi-color orbs meeting emerald and she returned his smile. He was so handsome, the way his eyes shimmered and the breeze played with his hair. "I've missed this too.." She spoke softly, smiling a bit more.
"I missed it too!" The 5 year old Sarika giggled and hugged her father's head.
That drew a soft laugh from the Prussian's lips as she looked up at the girl on his shoulders then leaning into him, cuddling into him a bit. The mention of their first son and his face drew a curious look to her face. "..A surprise for us..?"

Daniel laughed at Sarika and bounced her lightly on his shoulders, smiling up at her. "We'll do this more often. I promise." Pulling her off his shoulders he hugged her close to his chest before setting her down. Seemed like just yesterday she was a baby. Time went bye to quickly... Which got him thinking that he had no idea what he was going to do when she hit those teenage years. The thought alone made him want to punch her future boyfriend in the face. With a sword.
Turning back to Julchen he offered another smile and nodded slowly. "That's what Cecelia told me. She said "it's kinda big but kinda small and you'll really like it." Don't know what that means exactly but..." He shrugged lightly. "What do you think?"

The child laughed, hugging her father as he brought her down from his shoulder's to hug her first. "Yaaay~ Apa, Mama and Sarika get to play at the lake more!" She grinned happily, running off to play in some of the flowers once she was sat down on the ground. Julchen had a watchful eye on her before looking over at her husband again. She moved a little closer, nuzzling her head against his chest. "Kind of big but kind of small.." The way Cecelia spoke was cute sometimes, but sometimes confusing. "Ah.. Maybe they're coming to Hungary for a little while to see us~?"

He couldn't help but smile wider at Sarika. The child's happiness was infectious. He didn't watch the girl as closely as she ran off to play. Knowing the lake and everything around it better than he knew himself he wasn't worried. "Igen. Antal has his hands full." He again pulled Julchen into him, wrapping both his arms around her and leaning in to place a gentle kiss to both her cheeks then her lips. "Maybe we can bring everyone home for a while? Our whole, huge family?" He nuzzled her nose with his. "I wont tease you when it comes to cooking." Okay that was just a flat out lie so he tacked on, "Much."

Sarika seemed to have been the happiest of their children when they were at her age. Well.. Antal was pretty close. They might be about the same. She was even growing much slower than the others had. Even slower than Dani had. Sometimes it worried Julchen a little, but she was healthy and that's all that really mattered. His comment on Antal brought her to tilt her head lightly. "Has his hands full..? With what Dani? He's going alright, right?" Antal was also the child she worried most about with his condition and all. And the fact he was all the way over in the states where Julchen couldn't get to him right away.. That terrified her. But she knew she couldn't keep all her children within her reach. They needed the freedom to grow and start their own families. She peered up at him as he pulled her closer, closing her eyes as he leaned in to kiss her cheeks, happily returning the kiss to her lips. And then the smile spread across their face. "Really~? We can get them all here?" She was almost beaming with happiness at the thought. She missed all her babies. Her arms flew around his neck and she nuzzled her nose against his.
And then he mentioned her cooking.
"Hey!" She huffed, pulling away a bit. "My cooking isn't /that/ bad. I've been getting better, you told me so!" She pouted a bit before burying her face in his chest a bit.

His eyes turned to watch their daughter, the youngest, play amongst the flowers and couldn't keep from smiling. Especially as Julchen started to worry. Turning green eyes to her he shook his head. "Nincs. What I meant was Cecelia is a hand full. Plus some. Our son's alright." He loved the motherly side of his wife. The way she cared for their family was something saint like at best. Though it was sometimes hard to believe in comparison to the mouthy nun he remembered and even harder to picture when he thought of the opinionated kid she'd been.
He laughed when she pulled away, easily catching her and bringing her back to his side. "Igen? Did I say that? I'm not sure you're talking about the right Daniel. You must have me confused with someone else." He laughed, playfully wrestling her down to the ground, hiding in the tall weeds. He peeked his head up over the lush green at Sarika, making sure she wasn't paying attention, before smiling impishly down at his wife with a gleam in his eye. "Yes we can get them all here. Demand it if you want. Right now though Sarika is distracted~"

Sarika was quite happy to be out play outside. She was in the process of making a flower crown when suddenly she could hear the barks of a dog to which she gave a delighted cry. "Panzer!" She giggled as the white german shepherd practically jumped on her. She would be more than distracted for a while now.
The Prussian huffed again as he continued to tease about her cooking, bring her to cross her arms over her chest. "Then I just won't cook any mo-" She yelped as suddenly he had her down on the ground. She couldn't help but laugh now. Laughter was contagious, and she was pretty convinced that Daniel's was more contagious than the typical person's. It even had her forget what they had been talking about for now. She just kept laughing until she finally caught that look in his eye. She took a slow breath, calming herself for the time being while grinning up at him a bit. "Hmm..? And what do you think we should do while she's distracted, Daniel?"
