The flight landed in Paris after the two and a half hours flight. Kaylie had the time of her life. She loved flying. Amy on the other hand, didn't. It was the weird sensation of not being on the ground, her ears popping, and the food cart that ruined her flight. Not to mention the baby getting the seat she wanted, the window is always the best seat. They had to wait for the people in front of them to pull their belongings out of the overhead bin, but after the twenty minute delay they began to walk off the plane.

Sliding through the aisle the five exited the plane and began to walk up the walkway to the terminal. Odd looked around, trying to find a sign to direct them. "Everything's in French," he said. "I don't know French." Aelita giggled and read the sign. "You know French?"

"I am French." She said, taking Kaylie's hand and leading her to the shuttle bus that would lead them to baggage claim. 'She's French?' Odd asked himself. 'Now she tells me.' Odd followed his wife shortly followed by Amy and Jason.

The five boarded the bus and managed to find seats before they were all taken. Kaylie was seated on Aelita's lap, as Odd was trying to calm down. Very soon he'd be seeing her parents. Adopted parents, but parental figures that judge none the less. The bus began to move and a few minutes later they were walking off it. Following the French signs Aelita read them aloud to show she was really fluent in French.

Taking an escalator down they saw several areas to pick up your luggage. "We're five." Aelita said to Odd, seeing they were at twenty and five was a ways down. Aelita led the group, "You've lived in France for seventeen years and you don't know French?" Aelita asked Odd.

"Nope. After I learned the alphabet I thought I was good." Aelita giggled then looked forward and stopped. Handing Kaylie's bag to Odd, then she took off running toward the baggage claim.

"Where's mommy going?" Kaylie asked watching her mother run. Aelita wrapped her arms around a man a moment later in a tight hug. The man hugged her back then let her go. "Who's that?"

"Probably one of your uncles?" Odd said still walking, placing the strap to Kaylie's bag over his shoulder. In fact it was one of Kaylie's uncles.

"Sean," Aelita said to he adopted brother. "Too long."

"I know," Sean said to her. Sean was a decently tall man. Six feet, a few inches. His hair was short and red, barely reaching his forehead. He wasn't buff or fat, just normal. He had no facial hair, having shaved good this morning. "How you been?"

"Great, you?"

"Better," he said, referring to the divorce. "Look at you. You did not have two kids." he said, noticing how well she looked.

"I did." Odd had just caught up with Kaylie and the others when she looked next to her. "This is Odd, my husband." Aelita said introducing the two. The two shook hands.

"Pleasure, I'm Sean Fitter." Sean looked down at Kaylie and crouched down next to her. "And you must be Kaylie." Kaylie nodded big. 'Yup, that's my name.' "Aren't you just the cutest little thing ever?" He said it, and meant it. "Where's the sister."

"Right here," Amy said walking around Odd.

"You're Amy huh. Love the hair." Amy smiled at that. She loved her hair to.

"Dad, what am I looking for?" A girl asked Sean. Sean turned around and faced his daughter.

"Four bags labeled Robbia, and one Belpois. Where's Kelly." Sean's daughter looked behind her mumbled. 'Oh great.' "Bianca, where is she?"

"I'll find her." Sean shook his head as his nineteen year old daughter turned around looking for her five year old sister. Kelly was however not lost, but admiring the animals in cages awaiting their owners to pick them up. Bianca looked over a few people and saw her sister. Letting out a relieved breathe she walked over and spun her sister around then looked straight at her holding her by her shoulders.

"Don't ever do that again, do you hear me?" Kelly just looked at her sister. "Kelly, answer me, never leave mine or dads sight. We're in a crowded place; a lot can happen to you. You gave me heart attack."

"Your not even twenty, do you know what the likelihood of you getting a heart attack is?" Kelly asked her sister. Bianca smiled at her.

"You're still a smart ass, so I'll take it your fine," The first time in their conversation she noticed Kelly didn't have her glasses on.

"Where are your glasses?" Her glasses were in fact, in the garbage, she hated them because she thought she looked like a dork in them. "These things aren't cheap Kelly. They cost a lot. Now be glad I brought your extra pair." Bianca opened her purse and held out of pair of glasses, with thick lenses, and thick frames to hold them.

Kelly looked at them and shook her head. "You know you can't see a thing without them," Bianca said to her, crouching down to her level. "Put them on."

"I can see fine," She said, not looking at her sister, but at the one next to her because of her double vision she received when not wearing them.

"Look at me."

"I am," Kelly said, obviously thinking she was, but wasn't.

"Exactly my point put them on."

"No." Bianca stood up and took out her cell phone. "Who are you calling?"

"Mom, it's Bianca, she won't put them on again."

"They're on, they're on. Don't tell mom, don't tell mom." Kelly begged grabbing the glasses and putting them on. Bianca closed her phone, not disconnecting anyone. She never even dialed a number. 'Works every time.' Bianca said to herself.

"See, isn't that better?" It was dramatically better. But she still hated them. "Come on." The two walked over to the baggage claim were Odd and Jason had already found three bags. Aelita and Sean were on the other end, and had claimed the other two. After the bags were claimed they moved toward the animal claim and picked up Kiwi, who Kaylie was excited to see again, telling her little kitten all about the flight on the way to the car.

The car pulled into the driveway of a rather large house. It was three stories tall, with a rather old traditional feel to it. Aelita stepped out of the car and looked at the house. "When did they move here?" Aelita asked, admiring the house. "It's huge."

"Last year I think," Sean said, opening the back of his van and beginning to unload it. Handing off suitcases to Odd and Jason, they made for the front entrance of the house. "They said it was on a good price, so bought for occasions such as this. Family coming over."

Aelita shrugged then picked up her suitcase and started to walk to the door. When she got halfway a man opened the door for them. Aelita smiled walked in the house, placed her suitcase down then hugged him.

"Hey Chris, been awhile huh." Aelita said looking at her other adopted brother.

"I haven't seen you since the first time you got married." Chris said to her. Chris was shorter than Sean, but had the same red hair. He was a muscular man unlike Sean.

"How you been?"

"Okay I guess," he said, the loss of his wife and child still there. It had been nearly ten years since she had died. "You?"

"You know me," she said with a smile. Odd walked in and placed some of the luggage on the ground then shook Chris' hand. "This is my husband, Odd."

"Heard a lot about you," Chris said to him.

"Same."

"Aelita!" A voice from upstairs yelled. A woman who was older than everyone, not old, but older ran down the stairs and hugged Aelita.

"Hi mom," Aelita said hugging her back. Aelita's adopted mother was only nine years older than she was. When she was twenty four her and her husband wanted a kid, but found out she couldn't. She was born sterile, and hadn't known it till then. She still had a cycle, but her eggs just couldn't get fertilized. So she adopted.

"Six years," She said to her daughter. "Where is she?" She asked, referring to Kaylie who was just walking in the door with Kelly, who was also a cat person. Kaylie looked up at her grandmother and just stared for a few seconds as her grandmother took a good look at her. Aelita picked her up and rested her on one of her arms.

"This is Kaylie. Kaylie, this is grandma." Kaylie looked at her grandmother, also getting a good look.

"You're my grandma, shouldn't you be old?" She asked, thinking that because in stories Aelita read her, if a grandmother was in it, she was old. Aelita's mother however, didn't look old. Aelita's mother laughed.

"Aren't you just adorable?" She asked gesturing to hold her. Aelita handed her over as she took a closer look. "How was your flight Kaylie?"

"Fun."

"Really, your sister's first flight she got sick on the way. But I just got to spend more time with her. Speaking of Amy, where is she?" As if on cue Amy walked in the house with Bianca. Handing Kaylie back to Aelita she crouched down to Amy and looked at her. "I haven't seen you in six years."

"I've met you?" Amy asked, this woman looking familiar, but still like a stranger.

"You have, you we're still a baby though. So you probably don't remember." Amy before she knew it was hugged by her grandmother. "It's so wonderful to have you all over." She looked at Odd and stood up. "And you must be Odd." Odd nodded. "I'm so glad I finally get to meet you."

"Like wise." Odd said, thinking it best to say he did. So far so good. "So, where's the Mr.?" Odd asked, thinking it better to meet her father sooner than later.

"In the living room no less. Go say hi. Aelita, come with me, I wanna show you something."
