Meet the Family

Setting: 5 Years After the last book

Cammie POV

We weren't exactly family. We weren't all really related by blood or marriage, but we were close enough to consider ourselves family. Family... what is the definition of family anyway? I would classify family by one of those words like life, big, or small. Not a set in stone definition a term that people think differently of, something flexible.

Every year we carved out the time to see each other on Christmas. This Christmas our little group of attendants had grown just a bit.

There is Mom and Joe, of course, where dinner would be held at their huge 2 stories professional, sophisticated, and somehow still cozy house they has owned for three years. They still work at Gallagher, but on some weekends and holidays they come home to this giant house.

I have my own room here. I've only spent a few weeks in it though. After I quit college and started working full time at the CIA I would come spend my off time here. That was until I moved in with Zach almost three years ago.

Then theres Zach and I. Officially engaged as of a month ago, and still not filed a close and continuing form with the CIA even though everyones aware we are together the director doesn't seem to mind our bending the rules. One of the many reasons why I am so excited for this Christmas is so we can tell everyone. We have kept it low profile until we could get everyone together and tell everyone.

Bex and Jonathan are a whole other story compared to Zach and I. Zach and I are like peanut butter and jelly I guess. Zachs always understood my weird crazy and sometimes annoying self. He always backs off when I need space and always comforts me when I need it, like he just knows me. He is a romantic and hold my hand constantly He gets me everything I want and knows to do it without me even asking. I guess I am a little spoiled.

Bex and Jonathan on the other hand are more like salt and pepper. They are always pestering each other and making the other aggravated like teenagers flirting. When they are together they are the funniest people ever. Bex actually looses her tough aroma at times. I've only seen Bex 5 times since they started dating and 3 of them I caught her making out with him. They have trouble keeping their hand off of each other. Even though they can get mean they still pull through for each other at the end of the day and I guess that is what has made their relationship of 10 months work.

Maceys kept clean of every boy but one for the past 5 years. As for her little one night stands, shes had more than I can count on my hands and feet together. She started going on them a few months after we graduated. They have definitely slacked in the past couple of years. For awhile she relied on Bex, Zach, Grant, Nick, or I to come pick her up from the guys house if it was to far to walk back to the bar.

Shes has stuck with Nick for the most part, a geeky computer guy. She says she doesn't like him, but its obvious she does. She has brought him to Christmas dinner the past year or two. Their conversations don't always flow together easily, but they try. They get along super well which I was surprised by. He has been the voice in her ear guiding her through tough situations and escape plans with the Secret Service for four years.

Grants not much he still wonders up to the house for dinner every Christmas. Him and Bex love talking about knife collections and all that stuff together. He and Zach come up with some good jokes.

Lizzy has only gotten more southern and bubbly in the past years. Shes more outgoing and a little less nerdy. She's still always sprouting statics about everything. Shes developed many prototype computer programs that are being instilled in the CIA, MI6, NASA, and Secret Service right now. They aren't yet an item or anything, but her and Grant have been talking for awhile. Its kinda hard to see a jock, cool guy like him and little Lizzy together. Yet behind Grants tough exterior he has a open heart like Liz.

Abby and Townsend are official to, yuk! They aren't engaged yet considering they just started going out like six months ago. Its so weird to think my aunt and my fiances Father are together. If they get married that is just going to make it weird on a whole other level. I really am happy for Abby though. Shes getting the chance to settle down and take life slow for the first time in her life. Shes slowly backing out the the Secret Service and CIA missions. Shes only three years younger than Mom and all the stuff she put herself through a long time ago before I came along seems to be catching up with her. She aged a lot in the past 5 years, but shes still Abby, and its not like shes really old. She just hit 42.

Grace and Abe are still Grace and Abe. Nice and reserved, at least around us. I'm sure they unwind a little more when its only the older ones. I love them they love us. I try not to peer to much into our relationship and just let it flow like it always has.

Our new addition this year is Amy, Amriah. Shes been with Gallagher trustees for 5 years, and with probably be kept hidden for the rest of her life. The more time that goes on though the more she comes out. Shes been going to the new Gallagher for the last two years is been there. Mom and Joe help to partially raise her, she has her own room at their house also. Mom and Joe are probably going to be her most parental figures. Shes currently in 10th grade and is 16 years old. I really like her shes like a little sister I never had. We gossip and chat all the time. Even though shes so much younger we get along great.

The newest and youngest addition to dinner is Miss/Mr. Goode Jr. and isn't actually here yet. This is the other reason I'm so excited for Christmas this year. Theres another week until we go and I am trying to find a way to tell Zach that hes going to be a Daddy. I just found out a few days ago.. something tells me this Christmas is going to be very differnent.
