Hey, so you get a long chapter for once! Oh, by the way, I meant to do this, but I didn't know how long they'd be in here, but this is now crossed over with Eleventh Hour (slightly).
Toby came downstairs a few minutes later.
"Toby." Charlie said, "I wanted to introduce you to my sister, Rachel."
"Hello." Toby said extending his hand.
"Hi." Rachel said shaking it.
"I brought some hot chocolate." Mrs. Marks said to them motioning for them to sit down.
"Thanks Grandma!" A child said. He looked to be about six years old.
"This is my son, Michael." Rachel said to Toby. She turned to her son and said, "Can you say hello."
"Hi." The boy said.
"Hi." A few seconds later, Michael jumped up. Toby turned to see a man with black hair and chiseled features walk into the room.
"Dad!" Michael said.
"Hey." The man said picking his son up. He looked at Toby for a second.
"Jacob." He said to Toby.
"Toby." The younger man responded.
"What do you do Toby?" Mrs. Marks said noticing the pause in conversation.
"I am an ambulance driver for a hospital." He remarked.
"That must be interesting. Do you see any unusual accidents?" Charlie's father said as he sat down next to his wife.
"Occasionally." He responded, "What do you do Jacob?" Toby asked trying to get the conversation away from himself and possible misfortunes that could arise about his gift or Charlie's incident with the rapist.
"I am a scientist." The man replied.
"Where?"
"California."
"The weather must be nice there." Toby said.
"It really is." Rachel said. Toby noticed Rachel and Jacob's son slowly falling asleep.
"Do you want me to put him to bed?" Jacob asked his wife.
"Yeah, you know I'm tired; I think I'll go with you." Charlie glanced at Toby. Her face clearly saying she wanted out of this upcoming conversation with her mother.
"How long have you been together?" Mrs. Marks asked. Charlie started to open her mouth to speak, but her mother stopped her.
A year? Charlie thought.
"A year." Toby said.
"Really?" The older woman replied.
"Do you know what you both are going to do when you get married."
"We'll probably stay where we are." Toby replied.
"What about later when you have kids?" Mrs. Marks asked. Toby nearly choked on his drink.
"We haven't thought that far ahead yet Mom." Charlie remarked.
"Okay, we'll go for something not as far off. What were you thinking about the wedding?" Mrs. Marks inquired.
"Small." Toby and Charlie said.
"Why small?" Rachel said coming in.
"I thought you went to bed?" Charlie asked.
"I couldn't go to sleep. So answer the question, why small? There are plenty of people you could invite. There's Marla Ries from your track team in 9th grade, she could come."
"You know Savanah, why did you quit track?" Her mother asked. Charlie looked at her mother.
"I'm tired mom, can I go to bed?" Mrs. Marks looked confused.
"What did I say?" She asked.
"She's just tired from the car ride here." Toby said, "If it's okay with you, I'm going to turn in as well."
Hope you liked it, review!
