AN: Hey guys, this is my first Fanfic so i hope you all enjoy. I just got my copy of Misty Falls but no spoilers! I don't own anything other then my character - its all Joss Stirling.
"Tammy!" My mother's voice sounded throughout the house; she'd been doing that a lot lately since she found out that we were going to have company very soon. I don't know why she's getting so worked up about it, whats so special about the Benedict's anyway? And why are they having dinner with us; up untill two days ago, I didn't even know they existed. I got out of bed and dragged myself downstairs and into the kitchen where mum was pacing.
"Oh, Tammy, sweetheart. I don't know what im going to do! You know I cant cook to save my life and your father wont be home in time to help me. Why did I ever agree to cook for the Benedict's?" She threw her hands up in exasperation and I let out a laugh - she always looked kind of crazy when she was worried about something.
"Beats me, mother dearest. ive never even heard of them before." I took a bunch of grapes from the fruit bowl and began to eat them, waiting for a reply.
"They're very influential in the net, almost savant royalty, and ive heard they work with the police to help solve cases..." I raised an eyebrow at the last bit. I was training to be a ME and I would need a job when I finished my course - maybe the Benedict's could hook me up.
"What else?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. In reality, I was now looking forward to their visit, they sounded interesting.
"I don't really know, I just got a letter asking if we would be prepared to meet them. I could hardly say no."
"I guess. So why are you stressing so much about dinner? Their complete strangers; I doubt they'd ming if you brought food instead of cooked it." She was about to reply but I held up my hand, fully aware that I was about to receive a lecture on manners.
"Okay, I get it but I think you should stop fretting. What would dad say if he saw you know?" I smiled as I said the last bit. My parents were soulfinders and had met at only 17 which meant I had grown up to stories of 'finding the one'. I loved my parents for this but at the age of 26, I seriously doubted i would find 'the one' anytime soon. I wasnt sure I even wanted 'the one'. What if 'the one' turned out to be a psychopath or a lumberjack. Ugh.
It was then that the front door opened and dad came strolling in, briefcase and lab coat in hand. He dropped his stuff on the kitchen table and placed a kiss to my hair before moving to mum.
"How are my girls?" He asked, taking mum around the waist.
"We're good papa. I thought you had a shift at the hospital today." He normally worked till 8 on a Wednesday.
"I knew your mother would be worrying about the dinner so I swapped shifts to help her." He pressed a kiss to his soulfinders lips and I groan covering my eyes in mock horror.
"Hey! No PDAs in public areas. Lets try to keep it PG13, please." They laughed in unison but stayed in their embrace; i shook my head tutting along with it.
"Well im going to go take a shower before i see anything that will scar me for eternity. You kids behave, you hear me?"
"Yes, Miss Tammy." They sang in mock seriousness as I hoped down from the bench and made my way to the shower.
