Panem

-Cab-

“You mean they live in the city all the time? That sounds so boring!”

Chloe gave a small laugh "That it was miho, but there were at least a few perks to it."

While most of her childhood was spent being taught how to murder for sport Chloe did spend some time as a spoiled rich little girl and the apple of her mother and her father's eye. She enjoyed a large house, a giant playroom, fancy parties and so much more...But then it just stopped. She never figured out what made them decide their little princess needed to in the Games and in all truth she kinda wanted to ask.

“Yes, but just signs to watch out for, and what to do if he actually sees one,”

Chloe cut her eyes at her husband, having a feeling he at least tossed in a few cool facts...The man was an adventurer, and she was sure he wanted his son to be as well.

"Suuuuuuuuurrre you did. Remember I want you AND our son in one piece at all times. Got it?"

Suddenly the cab stopped, lurching the woman forward a bit. They were in front of a large white townhouse, with perfectly trimmed hedges and a small rosebush i the front. After years of seeing nothing but rugged nature it was strange to see something so orderly. So perfect. The woman gave a little breath and clmbed out of the car, holding Liam's hand as she did so. She then turned to the boy, leaning down and fixing his collar.

"Miho, be poliet but don't be too disappointed if they aren't like your father's parents"

Chloe had a feeling this was going to end with her punching her parents. Never a good feeling.

-Restaurant-

“You look beautiful, you know, some days I can't believe we're together...”

"You're quite stunning yourself, it really isn't that surprising that we make a perfect pair" Melanie stated, a small smile on her lips as she shrugged off her jacket and handed it to the coat check. She then took Galv's arm once more as they headed to their table.

"You're not upset about not going to all of the...Festivities right?" she asked randomly, pressing a bit of her dark hair behind her ear with her free hand. "I never really gave you much of a choice about it"

[42 Years Ago: Enclave Building]

“The Divide? Honestly who names things these days.” Rin rolled her eyes as she stuffed the papers into her bag – but her eyes darted at Gallic. He seemed on edge for a moment, and that intrigued her. Her narrow eyebrow arched on her forehead.

“What? Have you heard of it?”

[Capitol Building]

Miyamoto nodded and slowly went back to work, his eyes glassing over as he looked at the papers piled up on his desk.

[…]

Rica rolled his eyes, before adjusting his jacket. “Why don't we all just get down to the festivities? I imagine it will end up being a long night.”

[Jackson Residence]

Connor groaned. He often wondered how Caitlin turned out how she had. That girl was the epitome of fearless – but she was also careless. It made it hard to sleep, constantly worrying that every creek in the house at night was her sneaking out for some foolish adventure.

“I'll get her down.” Connor promised as he tussled Rue's hair. “You just stay here.”

Connor walked over and started to climb up the side of the roof – but it was clear he was pretty unsure about what he was doing.

[Flashback]

“This place looks amazing, Sarai.”

Connor was leaning against the doorway as he peered into the room Sarai was decorating for their wedding. Although it was an odd thing to have a wedding that was just the two of them, Connor certainly didn't mind. All that mattered was that he was about to marry the woman he loved.

He walked over and slipped his arms around Sarai from behind, leaning his chin down on her shoulder. “Let me help. You've been working so hard, I want to do something too.”

"Onto the party then" Kanna decided, leading the men...

[Jackson Residence]

Rue nodded hesitantly as Connor reassured her, the girl managing to mumble a tiny "be careful" as he made his way to the roof.

"W-why are your father and sister on the roof?"

Rue suddenly stiffened, turning around to see her mother standing there looking a tad bit pale. "M-Momma! Caitlin climbed up there because she didn't want to keep quiet while you were trying to work and then papa came in looking for her and then I told on her and then we both came out here and then papa decided to go up after her-"

Rue suddenly slapped her hands over her mouth. She didn't mean to be a tattle, but she told her mother everything. She then looked up at the roof, calling out for Connor. "Sooooorrrrry Papppppa I told!"


[Flashback]

“This place looks amazing, Sarai.”

Sarai looked up from the bundle of flowers she was turning into her bouquet. It was really quite pretty; she managed to find a large bundle of sunflowers and was tying it tightly with some extra ribbon she had left over.

"T-Thank you" Sarai said with a small smile as her very soon to be husband wrapped his arms around her. He felt warm and always smelled nice...It was comforting.

“Let me help. You've been working so hard, I want to do something too.”

The girl frowned, turning around to face him "N-No...I mean...You aren't supposed to worry about any of this. You get to relax. This is my job" she told him softly. "Anyways it's almost done...Y-You're sure it looks alright? Is it what you imagined for your wedding?"

Do guys even imagine what their wedding it gonna look like?

Connor was halfway up the rain gutter when he heard Sarai's voice and he flinched. He turned his head to glance down at his wife with a sheepish smile.

“It's okay! We'll be fine.” Connor tried to reassure his wife. He knew that Sarai worried a lot, and he couldn't blame her – but he also knew that they had endured so much worse than a fall from the roof. He turned to continue climbing, but suddenly Caitlin was perched on the edge of the roof.

“Ruuuuuuuuuue! You weren't suppose to tell!” Caitlin groaned. She had her arms crossed and was standing on the very edge of the roof without a care in the world. If she was at all afraid, it didn't show. “Mom! Stop worrying, okay? I'm fine up here, I know what I'm doing, geeeez!”

[Flashback]

Connor smiled softly at his soon-to-be wife. He could see how much she was putting into this and it was quite amazing. As he looked around the room, it was even more work than he imagined. She had poured her heart and soul into things.

“It looks amazing, Sarai.” Connor whispered. “But you don't have to do this alone, you know. I'm always with you, you know that.”

Panem

-Sanchez Residence-

Edda pulled out some caps to pay the cab driver, pausing when he realized where he was, and handed the driver some Panem credits, making sure to give a tip as he turned around and stared at the house.

The blond haired man gave a little groan as he saw the house. Perfectly manicured, a well trimmed rosebush, immaculate looking house...

“Woah... it's so big!” Liam said, his own eyes wide as he fussed with his mother fixing his collar. Once she finished, he ran forward, bounding to the door before Edda or Chloe could react, and knocking on it loudly.

-Restaurant-

Galv smiled faintly at his wife, not quite believing he really was good enough for her, though that was part of their relationship. Neither quite thinking they were good enough for the other.

But tonight was a night to celebrate, and he smiled brighter at Melanie as they sat down.

“Mel, I'd much rather have an evening with you then out listening to people give speeches about how... brave, we were,” Galv answered, “I couldn't ask for anything more but to be with you... and Joyce and Blake, of course.”

And eventually Elysia and Kyran as well.

-Capitol Party-

Ethan sighed slightly, following Rica and Kanna to the festivities. He wasn't much of a partier by nature, much preferring solitude.

But it was good to be seen, and Ethan obviously enjoyed Kanna's company, and even a small part of him liked Rica a little, if only seeing him as a semi-worthy verbal sparring partner. The two had a odd kind of respect for each other, where they would insult the other relentlessly, but wouldn't tolerate someone else joining in.

-Capitol Building-

Claire sighed slightly as she followed Miyamoto's gaze towards the paperwork.

“Most of it just needs your signature, but please read the first paragraph before you sign anything. You don't want a repeat of your son sliding in that 'National Mini Skirt Day,'” Claire said.

42 Years Ago: Enclave Building

“...Yes. I've seen it before, in reports,” Gallic answered, which wasn't entirely a lie, more like an omission of certain truths, something he excelled at, “There are... were... a lot of highly technological companies in the area before the Flare hit, so there's been rumors some technology might still be buried there. It's too close to the NCR for us to really send in a large force without threatening war, but it's too far from the NCR to seize before we'd see them. It's close to New Vegas though... It seems like we'll start there, pick up more supplies and intelligence before proceeding onwards.”

He then smiled, intending to waylay suspicion now as he looked up to Rin, “It seems to get into New Vegas, we'll be posing as newlyweds.”

“Musashi has good taste.” Miyamoto stated before he thought better of it. Then he simply shrugged as he started signing the documents, while glancing them through.

“Besides, we've both been at this game long enough to know this sort of stuff is hardly the important part of the job.” He went back to his papers, but as he did, there was a knock on the door. A rather sheepish guard soon cracked it open.

“Miss. Douglas? There's someone here to see the President.” He stated nervously, as if afraid to interrupt the meeting, but equally afraid not to. “I told her he was busy, but...”

[Capitol Party]

“Ahh, now this is a lot better.” Rica grinned as he glanced around at the party filled with important people, alcohol and food. It was exactly the sort of place he could mingle in, and that was his favorite – but he stayed close to Kanna.

“Let's enjoy this place.”

[42 Years Ago: Enclave Building]

“Oh joy.” Rin rolled her eyes. “I don't know what I look forward to more – having to pretend to flirt with you, Mr. Gallic, or having to endure the stench of New Vegas.”

Rin shook her head once more with a cold sigh. “This world is in decay. The Enclave stands as the one brief light in the darkness, but the way things are now we're just not doing enough.”

The door to the laboratory opened, and in walked a man in a military uniform. Several medals were pinned to his chest as he approached them, a light scowl on his face.

“Are you two almost ready? President Snow insist you get moving soon.” The military officer instructed. “This mission is for the glory of the Enclave, so look alive.”

“Good evening, Augustus.” Rin stated in a voice so cold that it made even the tone she used with Gallic seem friendly by comparison.

“That's Colonel Autumn, to you.”

“It keeps things turning, at least,” Claire said as Miyamoto complained about the paperwork. She sighed, pausing when a guard appeared.

“Who?” Claire asked, walking towards him now, raising an eyebrow, “If it's who I think it is...”

The guard said it was a her... Claire assumed it might be Nanami.

-42 Years Ago: Enclave Building-

Gallic sighed softly as Autumn entered the room, glancing towards Rin as she greeted him coldly.

A few things she said before Autumn entered... Gallic was hoping he would get a chance to talk with her some more about that, but not now.

“If our initial supplies are packed, we should be ready,” Gallic said to Autumn, not saluting, since, technically, Gallic wasn't military, “It'll be a couple days journey to our destination at least. Are they sending you with us? Your medals might get dirty, you know.”

Panem

-Capitol Party-

Kanna's eyes lit up as the reach the party, as she was surrounded by a fair amount of fancy booze that she (on any other day) wouldn't be able to try. She instantly found a waiter carrying wine glasses and snatched one, bringing it up to her lips.

"I always knew I was meant for the high life..." she said with a slight grin, taking a sip.

-Sanchez Residence-

Liam rushed to the door, and before either Chloe or Edda could stop him the boy knocked on the door with all his might. Instantly Chloe cringed, rushing up behind the boy and grabbing his hand to stop him. Her timing couldn't have been any better though, just as she did so the door opened revealing a dark skinned woman with long black hair and displaying quite a bit of skin. The woman blinked, looking down at the young woman before squealing.

"Oh dear god" Chloe mumbled going stiff in her spot as she eyed her mother. A second later she was in the woman's grip, being pulled into the tightest (and most awkward hug she had ever felt."

"Mija! My little baby! Oh Chloe where have you been!? We saw you on television but then nothing! Ten whole years mija! How could you be so insensitive not to call!" The woman, who barely looked old enough to be Chloe's sister, exclaimed.

"Maaaa stop! Get off! Stooooop it!" Chloe exclaimed, desperately trying to get her overly excited mom off of her. The woman refused to relent squeezing tighter until she noticed the other tow people starring in her doorway.

Instantly the woman let Chloe go, eyeing Liam and Edda. "Who are they?"

Chloe took a breath, now free. She motioned two the two. "This is Edda, my husband. And my son, Liam." she then looked to Edda and Liam. "This is my mother Ava."

-Restaurant-

Melanie smiled, pale cheeks going a bit red. "You were brave though, I hope you know that. You were quite a hero back in the day. Still are really, Joyce and Blake couldn't think any higher of you love."

-Jackson Residence-

“Mom! Stop worrying, okay? I'm fine up here, I know what I'm doing, geeeez!”

Sarai couldn't help but to choke on air as Caitlin scooted herself closer to the edge, until she was dangerously close to falling..."C-Catlin PLEASE get d-down before you hurt yourself!"

Meanwhile Rue stood against her mother, clinging onto her dress.

[Flashback]

“It looks amazing, Sarai. But you don't have to do this alone, you know. I'm always with you, you know that.”

Sarai gave a small sigh and a nod. "I know....I just want it to be special for you, I want it to be as much like a normal wedding as I can make it since you l-let me have the one stupid thing I needed. I want it to be perfect b-because it's not fair you always have to cater for m-me"

Sarai looked down, feeling her chest tighten. It was true, Connor had been extremely patient with her since day one...She could at least be a good wife for him.

"I want t-this to be like a normal wedding, b-but I don't know if i'm even doing it right" Sarai mumbled, now pulling at her long hair. She couldn't even get it in a proper bun. "N-No one t-taught me how to do a-any of this right...Im s-sorry"

-Sanchez Residence-

“Ummm... Hello Mrs. Sanchez...” Edda said, “It's...”

He paused here to consider his options for an adjective. Good? Nice? A pleasure? None of these quite fit... but then, he promised Chloe he would be good...

“...It's good to meet you, I'm Edda Adwr. I'm... uhhh... from the NCR,” Edda said.

Liam stared up at his grandmother, then spoke quickly, wide eyed.

“Hi I'm Liam! You're my grandmother, right? Why did you want mama in the Games?” Liam asked, face full of child-like innocence.

-Restaurant-

Galv found himself blushing as well as Melanie called him brave.

“You were brave too,” Galv said, “I'm just glad it's over, and we can have a more normal life.”

Ava hesitated for a moment when Liam pointed out the question that everyone was probably wondering. She gave a small frown, but moved forward and ruffled her grandson's hair. "Oh that's not important- come on inside! I can grab us some drinks-" she looked to Chloe and Edda "You two are old enough to scotch right?"

Chloe groaned, leading her son inside "....Yes....And my son's question is very warranted. VERY much so-"

Ava waved her off, leading the group into the house and down the halls. There were a several pictures on the walls, many of them of a little tan-skinned girl with a toothy grin and long wavy hair.....Looks like Chloe didn't always have bad luck with the scissors.

"Take a seat kids, i'll grab you both something...Strong, by the looks of it you both need something fancy-"

Chloe frowned, taking a seat in a rather soft chair...But not enjoying it all all. She was bother about how relaxed her mother was about all of this...It was weird. And was kind of pissing her off too. Of course she tried to keep calm, after all Liam was here.

"Ma, you haven't seen me in over ten years, can we talk about...You know..."

Once again Ava waved it off "Oh but you're fine! You survived! You did just as well as we thought you would! What's there to talk about?"

-Restaurant-

"A normal life, beautiful children and a husband who is absolutely perfect. It's really the perfect normal life" Melanie said, leaning in and kissing Galv.

Edda glanced towards the pictures of a younger Chloe. In a different situation he might have brought up Chloe growing her hair out again, but he glanced towards Liam inside, the boy staring around the room wide eyed. It was a lot bigger and fancier then where Edda's parents lived back in the NCR, that was for sure.

“Mrs. Sanchez, when I was Liam, your grandson's, age, my father took me into the wilderness to show me how to skin and cook giant geckos. He taught me how to shoot a gun and how to fight. My mother taught me how to set bones and do some rudimentary medical techniques. That's because I lived on the edge of civilization, where knowing those things was the difference between life and death,” Edda said calmly, a determined look on his face a he turned to Ava, crossing both of his arms over his chest, “They also taught me personally, because it was necessary.”

Liam went quiet as he stared at his dad now, recognizing Edda's “serious Dad voice” as Liam referred to it as.

“What you made Chloe, my wife, do, was not necessary. So before I think it's alright for Liam to be around here, I'd like to know why you decided to volunteer Chloe into the Games,” Edda said, glaring.

-Restaurant-

Galv smiled, kissing his wife back, enjoying it when there was a cough from the side.

“Excuse moi? Is Monsieur and Mademoiselle ready to order?” a waiter asked. Galv pulled away from Melanie, blushing.

“Ummm... I think so, maybe, Melanie?” Galv asked.

“Move.”

Nanami's voice was frigid and forceful, and the guard standing in the doorway flinched. He was now standing between the intimidating woman who was the right hand of the Republic – and the intimidating woman who had brought down the Enclave. He was clearly terrified to make a move, but ultimately stepped sheepishly to the side and awkwardly stood in the corner, refusing to make eye contact with anyone.

Nanami stepped up to the door, now face to face with Claire. It brought an instant frown to her lips.

“... I suppose some things never change.” Nanami simply shook her head.

[Capitol Party]

“To think all it took was our child helping to overthrow the Enclave and we become high society.” Rica grinned as he grabbed a mini quiche from one of the waiters. He shook his head as he leaned against one of the tables beside Kanna.

“And this new high society doesn't get off to teenagers murdering each other on an annual basis, so there's that.” Rica shrugged.

[42 Years Ago: Enclave Building]

“I got these medals by getting dirty.” Autumn replied in his usual curt tone. He stared from Gallic to Rin for a moment, silently trying to determine which of them was going to annoy him more. “I doubt I need to remind you that the military gets first rights to whatever scientific secrets you find in the Divide.”

Rin scoffed aloud. “Your neanderthals tossing sticks and rocks couldn't even begin to fully utilize the full potential of what is available at the Divide, and I'm not about to waste such treasures. The Enclave deserves better – and Snow has already made his decision, so you two can have a pissing contest all you'd like, but stay out of my way. Now go and fetch your tanks while Mr. Gallic and I prepare.”

Autumn looked livid – but he said nothing. His eyes narrowed and he stormed out of the room, giving Rin the darkest glare yet.

Once he was gone, Rin shook her head. “That man is the biggest idiot in the Enclave, but thanks to his last name he's also one of the most dangerous. I'm tempted to march upstairs and demand Snow keep him from coming with us – but then he'd just follow us anyway.”

She turned to glance at Gallic. “Politics are among the most dangerous and least scientific things in the world.”

[Jackson Residence]

“Caitlin don't worry your mother!” Connor groaned as he climbed towards the roof. He slowly reached the edge and then pulled himself up beside Caitlin. He gulped, bracing himself with his hands on the edge of the roof.

“Now just hold onto me and I'll climb us back down... somehow...” Connor said as he extended his arm to his daughter. Caitlin however scooted away, shaking her head.

“Daaaad, come on! Don't worry and don't treat me like a baby, okay? You and mom did way more dangerous stuff! I heard about it in school!”

Connor's eyes flashed. “Caitlin, that was completely different. You shouldn't want to do dangerous thing...”

Caitlin clearly wasn't listening. Instead she suddenly jumped off the edge of the roof, causing Connor to gasp out. Caitlin grabbed the rain gutter as she fell, bouncing her feet off the edge of the wall and then landed on the ground and rolled a few feet until she was sitting beside Sarai and Rue.

Both of her knees were skinned and bloody and she had a cut along her cheek, but she was laughing. “See? It's totally fine!”

[Flashback]

Connor hugged Sarai a little closer as he leaned his cheek against hers. He knew how important this was to her. She wanted one normal day in a life that had been as far from normal as possible, and Connor wanted to make sure that happened.

“I don't honestly know what a normal wedding is, but what I do know is that we're getting married and that's the best thing I can even imagine.” Connor whispered to her. “And besides, I like catering to you. You're the most important person in my life.”

Ava went quiet for a moment, placing two glasses of liqour in front of her daughter and son-in-law, trying not to looked fazed as Edda basically demanded an answer about why she and her husband threw their only child, their little girl, into a game which she was almost sure to lose.

"It was because we knew she was a sure-bet." Ava finally decided to answer "I assume since you're married to her you're away of Chloe's amazing strength. With power like that she was sure to win. And looks like our assumptions were pretty correct"

Chloe frowned, not sure if she wanted to discuss this around Liam. "I didn't really win you know"

"But you survived. That's just as good. You counted as a victor"

"We counted as traitors" Chloe shot back. "Fugitives"

"But now you're heroes. So in the end we were right in putting you in that game." Ava reasoned.

Chloe REALLY didn't like her mother's logic. It seemed....Twisted.

[Restaurant]

Melanie blinked, looking up and giving a quick nod. "Oh! Y-Yes."

She placed her order for the fish and a nice glass of wine before allowing her husband to do his own. When it was all said and done she looked back to her husband.

"What do you think of the government?" she asked kind of randomly, the woman looking a bit serious. "And..Well what was said on television earlier. Do you think keeping the peace is really going to be that easy?"

[Jackson Residence]

Connor may have tried to stress 'Don't worry your mother' towards Caitlin numerous times but it never seemed to stick with the girl. She had absolutely no fear of harm, which ALWAYS worried Sarai.

And this time was no different. Less than a second later Caitlin threw herself off the roof, bounced off the rain gutter and tumbled to the ground in front of her mother and younger sister. Both Sarai and Rue jumped, both gasping loudly as the girl hit the ground with a rather painful thud. A moment later Sarai was at her daughter's side, fearing (as always) the worst.

"Caitlin!" The young woman exclaimed, pulling the little girl up and inspecting her wounds. She somehow managed to make it down in one piece but was definitely bloodied and bruised, a look that made Sarai's heart clench a bit. Like any mother she never wanted her children injured, but also seeing her child like this (even from her own foolish actions) made her instantly think back to the worst part of her own life. "A-Are you alright love!?" she exclaimed, running her hand along Caitlin's cheek and looking as if she may cry herself.

“See? It's totally fine!”

"C-Caitlin you just jumped off a r-roof! W-why would you think i-it's okay to do something like t-that!?" Sarai exclaimed, going a bit red in the face. "You could have died!"

[Capitol Party]

“And this new high society doesn't get off to teenagers murdering each other on an annual basis, so there's that.”

Kanna nodded, taking a sip of a very expensive drink "You're right about that...I must give the new generation of elite jerks that much...That and their amazing tastes in wine."

Kanna took a sip and looked to the side. "Though I must wonder why Melanie wasn't interested in coming out...I'd imagine she be all about celebrating the end to that horrid tradition"

[Flashback]

Sarai gave a weak smile, choosing to burry herself against Connor for a moment and just totally decompress. She was extremely worked up about marrying Connor, and still rather nervous in general, so it felt nice to take a breath and not worry for a moment.

"Y-You're going to make a w-wonderful husband" she stated, slightly muffled against him. "You're going to be strong, and smart and brave and a-absolutely spoil me...I know your f-father would be proud of the man you became"

“You could have died!”

“Almost dying is the best part of living!” Caitlin replied with a grin as her mother worried over her injuries. The rather excitable child didn't look like she minded the cuts or bruises, and seemed to relish the adrenaline rush of having jumped from the roof. She paused for a moment though as she saw the tears welling in the corner of Sarai's eyes, and then she sighed.

“Geez mom... you don't have to cry. It's not a big deal.”

“It's a very big deal!”

Connor was rushing over, having himself jumped down from sheer panic of watching his daughter jump off their house. He was limping a bit on his right leg as he rushed over and dropped to his knees beside Sarai and Caitlin.

“You have to stop doing stuff like that.” Connor sighed as he placed his hand over her forehead and the shimmering light started to warm and heal the new bruise.

“You guys did way more dangerous stuff, though!” Caitlin frowned.

[Capitol Party]

Rica went quiet for a moment when Kanna brought up Melanie. In truth he had a good idea why she wasn't here. Despite the years that had passed and the downfall of the old regime, the Hunger Games were still a painful wound that would never truly close.

It was the same thing that had driven Rica into the bottom of a bottle for most of his adult life. “She's celebrating in her own way. Probably doesn't want to waste time with the newest idiots in charge.”

He paused. “We could go see her later, you know.”

[Flashback]

Connor went quiet for a moment when Sarai spoke. It meant the world to him that she said those words – and he knew that she meant every one. As his thoughts drifted to his parents, he felt the same sadness that had been lingering in his chest ever since he first learned of their demise.

He could still remember how sick he felt when he saw the broadcast from Autumn. How it infected im with a rage and pain that would not go away... but as he leaned against the warmth of Sarai, he dismissed that pain.

“Thanks Sarai.” Connor whispered as he kissed her cheek. “You're going to be an amazing mom.”

“Almost dying is the best part of living!”

Sarai really didn't like this statement. She and Connor had almost died enough times to know it wasn't the best part of anything. She knew that feeling of absolute terror the moment she had to stare death in the face....The problem was Caitlin didn't. She had no fear, she never had that moment of clenching fear- the fear that still paralyzed Sarai on a daily basis.

When Connor came over to heal Caitlin Sarai stood back up, rushing back in the house without a sound.

Rue noticed this almost instantly, glaring at Caitlin with her hands on her hips. "Look what you did! You upset momma!" she then turned on her heel, rushing after her mother into the house. The little girl looked around, spotting her mother in the kitchen. While she didn't understand the extent of her mother's strange behavior, but she did understand that it happened and how to handle it.

Sarai sat at the table, head in her hands. Rue approached slowly, but with purpose. "Momma, Caitlin's okay, you don't have to be sad...Papa fixed her head so it's all better now" the girl explained, rubbing her mother's arm with her small hand. It was the most comforting gesture she knew, as whenever she was upset or ill her mother would rub her back with the same love and care. "Don't mind Caitlin, she's just a dummy"

"D-Don't call you're sister a dummy" Sarai mumbled "S-She's just r-reckless"

"Yeah. A reckless dummy"

Sarai blinked, caught off guard by the idea of being a mother...A good mother. It wasn't a scary thought, in fact it made her extremely happy. She girl smiled. "I n-never thought i'd get t-that far, but i'm excited."

Sarai then pushed Connor back playfully. "B-But one thing at a t-time. We have to fin-finish this wedding first"

Kanna shrugged, taking a sip "Probably should, I haven't seen her properly in ages...Which of course it probably for the best, the girl doesn't need me to influense how she raises those children."

She then looked back to Rica with a slight grin. "Though i've heard you haven't made yourself a stranger there. Last time I spoke with Joyce and Blake on the phone they went on and on about Grandpa's visits"
