DISCLAIMER- I don't own a thing.
PAIRING- R/J; L/D; and of course Sookie/Jackson
SUMMARY- Thanksgiving time at the Marino household/ future fic.
*************************************
On Ponderosa Drive sat a two-story, brown brick house. Two majestic looking oak trees were located in the front yard, surrounded by yellow, red, and orange leaves. The crisp November air whistled through the branches, while inside a roaring fire warmed the whole house through and through. The owners of the scenic property were none other than Jess and Rory Marino. The Marinos had two children, Harrison and Shane. Harrison is sixteen, while his brother Shane is fifteen. This Thanksgiving their house was to be filled with Lorelei, Sookie and Jackson, Dave and Lane, Emily and Richard, and Luke. Much to Rory's happiness, Thanksgiving was the next day. " Honey, Harrison and I are going to go get some more candy corn, we're running low." Jess said walking into the kitchen where Rory was busy making a sweat potato casserole. " Okay.hey hun! Could you pick up some more whipped cream? I want to make sure my mom doesn't give a fit if we run out." Rory asked brushing a strand of hair from her face. " Sure, do you want me to send in Shane to help you?" " Nah, I have him busy setting the table." Rory responded placing the casserole dish in the oven. " Okay, we'll be back." Jess stated walking out the front door. " BYE!" Rory called. " Mom?" Shane asked walking into the kitchen that was cluttered with measuring cups, flour and sugar canisters, backing pans, and broken eggshells. " Yeah sweetie?" Rory asked from the pantry. " What do you think of everyone with the same plate and you with your very own special one?" Shane asked looking down at the floor. " What did you do?" Rory asked coming out from behind the pantry door. " Well, I accidentally dropped one of your good china ones." Shane stated hesitantly. " Okay.um.just go get another plate from the other china sets and use that one. It's okay, I know you didn't mean it." " Right." Shane responded disappearing down the hall. The rest of the evening, Rory spent in the kitchen making sure all the food was finished. Jess, Shane, and Harrison pretty much just tried to stay out of her way. They were doing a pretty good job at it too. Finally around eleven, Rory emerged from the kitchen and plopped down on the sofa next to Harrison. " Are you done?" Jess asked, stressing the "done." " Yes, I am. Now, I think I'm gonna go to bed before I think of something else I have to do." Rory stated rising from her seat. " Good idea, night hun. I'll be up soon." Jess said giving Rory a small peck on the lips. " Night. Night you two." Rory said kissing each of her sons. " Night ma." Harrison stated flipping through the channels. " Goodnight." Shane stated staring blankly at the television screen. That night, the whole Marino household slept soundly, all anticipating the next day. As they slept, a soft shower of snow descended from the velvet sky. It really was a beautiful night.
