Summary: Sequel to Cupid. 10 years after the events of the Sister of the South, Jasmine and Lief have separated. With a little help from Barda, Anna wants to reunite her parents. Contains some language,
Cherubs
'Come on!' bellowed Anna to her little brothers. 'I have two beans. TWO! I add two more beans. What do I have?'
Endon looked puzzled. 'Some beans.' He said as if his sister was stupid. Jarred seemed more interested in the contents of his nose then advanced mathematics. 'Casswole' he said happily.
'no no no , Casserole Jarred. Casserole' Jarred blinked
'Casswole' he repeated. Endon shook his head. 'Jawed stoopid' he said brightly. Jarred nodded smugly.
Anna sighed. This was hopeless. Since her parents were beyond getting together to organise a tutor for herself and her brothers, she had resolved to teach them herself. Today's lesson however, was testing her patience to the limit.
Upstairs Lief and Jasmine were doing some bellowing of their own.
'Mummy, Dada fighting.' Said Jarred glumly then he giggled. Dada had said a 'rude word' and he took pleasure in repeating it to his sister, who promptly clipped his ear.
'Having trouble?' Anna's heart did a little back flip. It was Barda, Her one true love. Never mind he was married with many children. Barda was hers, and they were going to end up engaged any day now. Displaying her 10 year old logic, she thrust out her chest proudly hoping it would make the size nil look like a size B
'Nothing I can't handle' she said as the twins revelled in her momentary absence by yelling the rude word to each other.
'Hey Endon! You're a bi...'
'Not with the twins. With the...' he winced as another Unspeakable was thrown.' You know'
Anna stared at the floor 'Same as always.'
'Badly?'
'Yeah.'
Barda's eyes suddenly lit up.
' I'm getting one of my ideas'
Anna swallowed. No matter how much she loved him, she could never convince herself his Ideas were anything other than bad.
Jarred was once again, Investigating his nasal.
'Four Beans' he said suddenly.
'Hey Barda' yelled his twin 'You're a Mothef....'
