Ever since that infamous fight Ayla and Jared had gone through soon after Shawn's birth, they'd always been pretty good at making time for one another as much as they could. They'd made the effort to be more than parents to their baby, no matter how important that was, and to be a couple too, because if they didn't try then they would break.. Thankfully, things had gotten much better from that point on, but to be honest, their efforts had dwindled down just a little ever since Jared had started working. Oh, things were going great - they had a lot of family time together that they enjoyed, and there was no longer that monetary stress because she still worked part time and he made good money as a firefighter. But it'd been a while since they'd spent some time alone, and she couldn't say she didn't miss it. It couldn't really be blamed on either of them either - they were just contentedly going through their little established routine, and she honestly was very happy with her life at this point. Still, she wouldn't say no to a little bit more one on one time with her husband. They were still too young to act like an old married couple.
So, while he was doing one of his twenty four hours shifts, she'd made the elective decision to plan some good time for them. He had three days off coming up after that one shift, and so she'd managed to get herself two days off at work and then trade the third one with one of her coworkers. She'd called up Jared's mom and asked her if she would be willing to look after her grandson for a couple of days, which she had been more than happy to say yes to, and then she'd started loosely planning. She didn't want to have a very strictly established plan, because the point was to have an enjoyable and relaxing break from their usual routine, not a stressful one. She'd decided they would spend their first two days just the two of them together, and then on the evening of the second night they'd go pick up Shawn, as she'd reconfirmed with her mother-in-law, and as she'd expected, she'd also taken the opportunity to invite them for dinner on that same night, which would definitely be nice too. And then, they would bring Shawn home and the next day would just be a nice family day, just the three of them together. She was definitely excited about it as she got everything, and herself, ready, dropping Shawn off at his grandparents' house in enough time to take a long shower.
