Heres the next chapter, more of MiSa at the start here and sorry if anyone finds the explanation of Erin's family boring here, but it needs to be established so the story can move on :D
Minor adult theme at the start here, but very minor, so don't moan, you have been warned if you dnt like what you are about to read :P
So without anymore delay, here it goes...
Sara arrived home from work for the day; she dumped her stuff in the hallway and collapsed herself onto the couch, drawing her hands to her face, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
It was 3:30 and thought that Chrissie should be heading home soon and it wouldn't be long till Michael turned up. Slipping off her shoes, she let them drop to the floor, hoping to catch a bit of sleep before the mayhem of family life took over the house.
Her eyes happily obliged, drifting shut within minutes, her breathing evening out as sleep overtook her.
Michael had decided to leave work early in hope of spending some alone time with Sara. As he entered, his spotted his wife asleep in the couch and couldn't bring himself to wake her. She looked so peaceful asleep, he merely took a seat in the chair opposite and watched her sleep, her dark tresses falling over her face, distorting his view of her features, but he daren't touch them in fear of waking her.
She shifted in her sleep and he couldn't help the small smile to cross his lips, she looked so cute, his mind shot back to their time together in the infirmary, the times he would try and imagine how she would look outside of the prison, outside of his mental and physical cage, the thought of seeing her living normally, completing simple every day tasks, washing, getting her hair ready, making dinner, and now he had that, he no longer needed the thought of what she might look like whilst he was sat in his cell, he now witnessed this everyday and he never refrained from reminding himself of this each time his heart would get caught in his throat or she would cause butterflies to flutter in his stomach.
Sara stirred in her sleep and felt the sensation of someone watching her, she jolted form her position and turned to face Michael, locking eyes with him from across the room.
"How long have you been there?" Sara asked, sleep still masking her voice.
"About half an hour, I just didn't want to disturb you" Michael replied honestly, smiling as Sara adjusted her wild hair as the couch had made it all static.
"Don't laugh at me" Sara whined patting her hair with no avail as it only made it worse, but Michael couldn't see anything wrong with that.
"I'm not laughing I think you look perfect" Michael stated, moving from his chair and sitting besides his wife, placing her legs onto his lap and she lay back and relaxed into his warmth.
"You have to say that, we're married" Sara joked, unable to remove her gaze form his crystal blues.
"So I guess if we're married then we can do this…" Michael said in his low voice, his voice that made Sara melt and lose any reasonable thoughts.
Leaning forwards, Michael claimed Sara's lips under his and within moments they were both caught in a hot desire and couldn't get enough of one another. Sara sat and ended up straddling Michael's lap, her hands working their magic on his tie and shirt, never had he seen her undo his buttons so quickly, caught in the same passion, Michael easily lifted Sara's shirt up and over her head, tossing it to the floor as she pushed him down onto the sofa, pulling back slightly, her eyes fell onto his tattoo, leaning down she ran her hot tongue over the images, smiling as she heard Michael take a sharp breath, liking her control over his reactions.
Just as things were heating up they were both drawn form their state as the phone rang, they tried to ignore it, but the person on the other persisted until it was picked up.
Michael sighed and pulled the receiver to his ear. "Hello…ok that's fine, see you soon baby…love you too, bye" Michael hung up the phone and regarded his wife with a look of lust. "Where were we?"
"Wait who was that?" Sara had to ask, even if it did mean desperately trying to not to devour every inch of his body in the mean time.
"It was Chrissie, she is going to stay later at Erin's, girls nigh tin or something" Michael explained as quickly as e could, not wanting to miss any time with Sara, here and now.
"So…Chrissies not going to be here tonight, I guess it's your lucky night Mr Scofield" Sara purred out seductively, claiming his lips passionately.
"Is that right, well we better make the most of it Mrs Scofield" Michael replied, swooping Sara under him and kissing her passionately, content to stay like this forever.
1 hour earlier
"Right! Ez explain!" Chrissie ordered as both girls slumped themselves onto the circular couch in the centre of Ez's lobby.
Ez wanted to tell her, she really did, but she knew that she would have to ask her Dad first and she only hoped that he was in a good mood, because if Connor or Neasa had done anything to upset him, she knew she stood no chance against his addiction to the word 'no'.
"Oh come on Izzie, just leave it, I'll tell you another time" Ez knew this wouldn't work on her friend, she had know her too long to know that she would take that as a sign to keep pestering all the more.
"You promised me Ez, I wont let you take it back" Chrissie said adamant in her words, crossing her arms, emphasising her seriousness.
Just then Angel walked into the foyer and spotted the two girls having a serious discussion bout something. "You're back, how was school?"
"Same, pissin borin, they need to teach us something more worth while" Ez pouted, thankful for the distraction from her conversation with Izzie.
"Ez, say that again and I will not hesitate to do it here in front of Chrissie" Angel shot her a dark glare, knowing too well that Chrissie and Erin knew what he was talking about. Causing Chrissie to gulp from her position besides her best friend.
"Sorry Daddy, but it really was borin…anyway there's something I should tell you, but before I do, promise you wont get all 'GRRR ARRGG'" Erin asked adding little monster actions to her words, happy to see a small smile tug at her fathers lips as quickly as it disappeared again, as he prepared himself for the worst.
"What's that?"
"You promise?" Erin persisted; she didn't want to give her Dad more reason to bust her butt.
"I promise, now what is it?" Angel was losing his patience.
"I kinda beat someone up today, but he had it cumin, he insulted Izzies Dad and you have always taught us to stand up for one another, remember that's all I was doing" Erin shot out her words quickly in hope her father wouldn't really hear them, but he missed nothing.
"You what? Erin you could have hurt them…I am glad that you are there for Chrissie, but you shouldn't have resulted to violence" Angel immediately recognised how contradictory his own words were, but he had to set an example, especially in front of Chrissie who had no clue of the true ins and outs of their family.
"I know, I'm sorry Daddy. There's something else, I think Izzie needs to know" Erin knew that her father would say no, but she knew the Izzie would be pleased that she asked.
Angel was taken aback at her suggestion, he had never have expected that in a million years for that to come form his daughters mouth, he was stunned, until he managed to think over the situation and came to the conclusion, that Chrissie could be trusted with this, given that Angel and his family knew of all of Chrissie's family background, including her fathers escape from prison, she did deserve to know the truth, he only hoped that it didn't cause the destruction of her friendship with Erin.
"I think you're right" Angel simply stated, moving closer to the girls.
"Really? You mean it? We can tell her?" Erin was shocked, she wasn't expecting that, she suddenly felt a sense of joy as she turned to regard her friend and knew that she had to tell her the truth; she only hoped she would accept her family for what it was.
"What is it? You guys are freakin me out now" Chrissie said, smiling uncontrollably at the huge grin on Erin's face.
"Izzie, I know that you trusted us enough to tell us about your father, but you have to remember, what we are about to tell you is way bigger and keep an open mind…" Erin started, watching Izzies face fall slightly at the realisation of the seriousness of what she was about to be told.
"You can trust me Ez, I won't see you any different than I see you now" Izzie smiled warmly and placed a reassuring hand onto her friends shoulder.
Angel smiled to himself as he was thankful for the good friend his daughter had made.
"Thank you. Well, there's no easy way to say it so, my Dad is a vampire" Erin just came straight out with it, it even surprised Angel, his daughter never did get the word subtle.
There was a moment of silence and Ex could practically hear the gears turning in her friends mind, processing this new information. Izzie's mouth open and closed a couple of times, at a complete loss of what to say. "A…a…."
"…vampire, you know drinks blood, but not human blood Daddy has a strict diet, avoids daylight, explains his pasty complexion and don't like crosses, they burn like hell" Ez found this highly amusing, she explained her fathers 'condition' with as much lightness as possible, in hope of not freaking out Izzie any more than she already had. All the while Angel was biting his tongue at his daughter's bluntness, but couldn't really argue, it was all true.
"Wow…I don't know what to say" Izzie breathed heavily falling back into the chair hoping to find comfort in its softness.
"But don't worry, he don't bite, think of him as a neutered dog, can't hurt any one unless he really, really wants to, which on a lot of occasions involves my butt" Erin stated sarcastically smiling towards her angry looking father.
"Thanks Erin" Angel answered, mentally noting to have a little chat with her later.
With their little father-daughter moment, they momentarily forgot about the open mouthed Izzie sat besides them. "You ok Izzie? Oh no Dad I think we broke her" Erin sighed dramatically as Izzie continued to stare blankly into space, obviously deep in thought.
"What…erm, yer it's just a lot to take in you know…a vampire? God and I thought my family was weird" Izzie stated laughing slightly, immediately watching Ez and her father breath again as they noted her comfort around them still.
"You don't know the half of it Izz, you have no idea how much I have wanted to tell you, but the time has never been right or I didn't think it would be a good idea in case it put you in danger" Erin started to explain only to be silenced by her friend as she enveloped her into a hug. Resting her head willingly on her shoulder, glad this hadn't affected their friendship.
Angel stood to give the girls some privacy, just as Neasa entered the room.
"Wos up? Wot I miss?" Neasa asked noticing the two girls hugging and her Daddy looking rather emotional, she hoped he weren't going too soft on them.
"Chrissie knows" Angel said just loud enough for Neasa to hear, not wanting to ruin the younger girls moment.
"Soddin ell and you didn't come and get me, I could av had this explained, wrapped up and sorted in a couple of minutes" Neasa whined, pouting her lips in her usual way.
Angel sighed and smiled slightly towards his eldest daughter. "Sorry baby, but you know Erin she likes things to go her way" Angel chuckled as Neasa moved closer and regard her younger sister with a look of annoyance.
"What?" Erin gasped towards Neasa as she spotted the look she was receiving.
"I wanted to tell her" Both girls burst into laughter and Neasa couldn't hold her straight face much longer, a smile cracking onto her lips. "Daddy they're laughing at me"
"Aww my poor baby, do you want me to tell them off for you" Angel asked with as much a mocking tone as he could muster.
"Sod of Dad now your taking the piss" Neasa crossed her arms and feel onto the couch sulking.
"Stop being such a drama queen and show Izzie ya knife skills" Ez stated nudging her sister in the ribs.
Neasa never one to disappoint her siblings, rose from the couch and easily began spinning a knife in her right hand, Izzie's face full of wonder. The knife picked up speed and she swiftly had another spinning in her other hand, smiling to herself as she let the first knife go from her hands and sent it hurdling towards the entrance, just as Connor came through and caught it mid air, the knife lodged between his middle fingers.
"Watch it Ness…Where's Dad, I'm sure he wouldn't be letting you spin those in the house?" Connor protested, leading Cee into the foyer tossing Ness's knife back to her as she slipped them back into her sleeves.
"Whoa, how did you do that…both of you?" Izzie was impressed, she thought she should be frightened or worried, but somehow she felt just as safe here as she would in her own home, she had known this family for years and they have never shown any sign of wanting to harm her or put her in danger, in fact they have shown the exact opposite.
"Quortoth…We had to fight for our lives to stay alive, basic instincts I guess" Neasa dully proclaimed, not wanting to get into more detail on the account of having to have told this tale on many occasions when they were younger, not wanting to get into it all over again.
"I can't believe all of this, all this time I have been best friends with the children of a vampire" Izzie stated in a matter of fact sort of way.
"Ma mum too don't forget, Conn and I had two vamp parents, we're kinda miracle kids, lot of demons wanted us dead and an evil law firm at one time" Neasa added into the mix, causing Izzie's mouth to drop open even further if that was at all possible.
"Two vampires? So what are you, two part vamp and one part human? Or would it be something completely different seen as you're a twin, coz that would be all the more confusing" Izzie drabbled more to herself, getting lost in her overcomplicated mind, that was definitely her fathers curse.
Everyone had to laugh at her theory, even Angel sniggered at the prospect.
"Never really though of it that way Izz" Ez said through her laughter.
"Sorry, I tend to other think things don't I?" Izzie giggled, feeling her cheeks burn red.
"I'd hate to hear you theory for me, I got a vampire dad and a slayer for a mum" Erin explained to a blushing Izzie.
"Poor girl, having you lot bombard her with all this information, don't worry Izzie, I found out years ago and I have turned out ok" Cee smiled warmly towards the young brunette, a girl who largely reminded Cee of herself when she first found out about Neasa and how her friendship between Erin reminded her of Neasa and herself.
"Thanks Cee. Now a slayer, what's that?" Izzie questioned returning to attention back to Erin.
Erin sighed slightly and made herself comfortable in the couch, hearing resonating sighs all round, noting Connor leading Claire away and up to his room, Neasa not wanting to miss out on anything, she propped herself onto the counter and pulled Angel to stand besides her, her arms draped around his shoulders.
"This is going to be a long night" Erin chuckled, looking Izzie in the eye and smiling a thankful smile, thanking her silently for understanding her families complications to say the least.
"Let me go call my Dad, don't want him to worry, I want to hear everything about you" Izzie replied, feeling that this meant a lot more to her best friend than she will ever know.
