Finding Bailey

As they all walked into the aquarium each of the brothers got a photo with Bailey. Then they had a family photo where it looked like they were being chased by a shark. When Bailey saw the photo she tried to look for the shark where she was standing but couldn't see anything. She didn't understand how the green screen worked at all. Everyone gushed over the photos and Bailey was becoming impatient standing around. Harry noticed and took Bailey from Blair so they could begin exploring the aquarium.

Blair pouted, he wanted to carry Bailey around. They didn't need a pram because every one always wanted to hold Bailey and she loved the attention. As they got to the first tunnel underwater Bailey grabbed onto Pa's collar getting worried when she saw the fish and things swim over her head. Her eyes grew big and she looked concern thinking she herself was going to be underwater. Nelson noticed Bailey's distress immediately.

Nelson headed over to his father who was trying to show Bailey the stingray which was on the side of the glass but she was looking above her head waiting for the water to hit her. "Princess, it's ok. We are in a tunnel. Nothing will hurt you" Nelson told Bailey who reached her hands out to Nelson wanting him to comfort her. Harry noticed the shift in Bailey who was reaching for Nelson and handed her over. Bailey buried her face into Nelson's neck breathing heavily. "It's ok Princess. You are safe. Look touch the glass, they can't get to you" Nelson coaxed Bailey taking her hand and placing it on the cool glass.

Bailey snapped her head up and looked towards the glass were her hand was resting. She couldn't feel the water just the cold glass. "Bailey look at the fish" Brax called to his sister seeing the fish swim overhead. "Bish" Bailey whispered as the fish went over her head. Bailey ducked her head without realising it when they were swimming over her which caused her brothers to laugh at her.

Bailey stayed with Nelson as they walked along the tunnels in the aquarium. "Bish" Bailey called each time she saw the fish swimming in the tanks. She liked watching the coloured fish swim around. Nelson placed Bailey on her feet when they got to a quiet tunnel so she could walk for a while Brax and Bodie both held Bailey's hand, one on each side. Blair didn't mind though because he got to spend the week with Bailey while they all were at work.

Bailey took small steps while her head was turned towards the ceiling watching the fish swim above her head. "Look Bailey, Shark" Blair stated when the shark was swimming towards Bailey trying to catch a fish. Bailey squatted as the shark went over her head with its jaws open. Nelson and Harry had managed to snap a perfect photo of her squatting under the shark. Bodie, Blair and Brax were laughing at their sister and how cute she was.

Another family had seen what had happened and also joined in laughing at the little girl who clearly was worried the shark would eat her. "Ark" Bailey said when she saw another shark swimming around. "Yeh shark" Bodie stated smiling down at his sister.

A little boy who was probably 4 was with the family that laughed at Bailey and walked over to the group. "That's a port Jackson shark" the kid said. "Ark" Bailey nodded her head. Brax and Bodie were looking at the kid who was smiling at Bailey. They didn't like him close to their sister at all. "Bailey come, I'll carry you" Brax said wanting her away from the little boy. "No" Bailey said firmly. She liked walking and wanted to stay walking for a while.

"She doesn't want you to" the kid said earning a glare from Brax. "I'm Freddie what's your name?" The kid asked Bailey. "Bay" Bailey replied. She didn't speak very well but she did understand more. The boy known as Freddie smiled and nodded his head. Nelson and Harry were watching all three boys standing protectively around Bailey keeping the boy back from her.

The family began quietly talking to Nelson and they decided to join the group exploring the aquarium. Freddie wanted to hold Bay's hand so pushed beside her next to Brax. "Want to walk with me?" Freddie asked Bailey who nodded and smiled. Brax was not happy and didn't want to let go of his sister's hand at all. "She wants to hold my hand" Freddie told Brax while glaring at him. Brax glared right back which caused the family, Nelson and Harry to laugh.

"She is my sister" Beax sassed out. Nelson and Harry couldn't believe a grown man was sassing out a 4 year old. Best still was the four year old was sassing him right back. "And Bay is my best friend" Freddie replied. Bailey smiled at Freddie and wiggled her hand out of Brax's hold extending her hand to Freddie to hold. Freddie stuck his tongue out at Brax before holding Bailey's hand.

Bailey had seen Freddie stick his tongue out so copied him and began to move forward with Freddie naming the different fish and sharks that they saw. Brax stood shocked that Bailey had just basically dumped him for some kid she just met. Worse was she poked her tongue out at him. Nelson patted Brax on the back and followed the kids into he next tunnel.

Bodie was watching Freddie and Bailey closely. He didn't like how this kid had weaselled his way in at all. He decided he would stay close so that he could make sure Freddie would stay back. Blair also stayed close ready to swoop in and snatch his sister into his arms the minute that Freddie got to close to his sister. "Bish" Bailey pointed to a fish that was laying on the glass. "Want to touch?" Freddie asked Bailey who nodded her head. Freddie went to pick Bailey up but was quickly stopped by Blair scooping his sister up.

"Hey, I was picking Bay up" Freddie stated stomping his foot at Blair. "Sorry kid you are to small to carry Bailey" Blair stated moving Bailey over to touch the glass. Bailey poked the glass and giggled when the fish moved away. "Bay want to walk with me?" Freddie asked when Blair made no move to put Bailey down. Bailey nodded and squirmed to be put down. Blair pouted but put his sister down who again held onto Freddie's hand. None of Bailey's brothers liked this at all.
