Kehlani reached out for Mick as his father came to the door. Archer Rawson was a tall dark-haired man with a friendly smile. The older gentleman extended his hand to Emily. "I'm Archer but you can call me Archie. You must be Emily and this little beauty must be Kehlani."

Kehlani blushed from Mick's shoulder. Before Emily could say anything, Mick's parents grabbed their bags and ushered them into the cabin. Emily felt her mind drifting off to another place. A getaway with Mick in a place like this would be amazing. Relax Emily, you've got to get past his family first. His parents are in love with Lani but they could just as easily hate you.

Mick nudged Emily's hip with his and watched her fluster and blush slightly. "You good?" "Yeah sorry. I was in another world." "No kidding."

Just then two more women walked into the large living room. Mick smiled widely before introducing the women to Emily and Kehlani. "Em, Lani these are my sisters Jenna and Jeanine. I'm pretty sure Simon, Jeanine's husband, is around here somewhere. Where are the boys?"

Mick was busy looking for more people that Emily could only assume were his other relatives. She felt eyes beaming at her and looked up only to see a look of pure contempt on Jeanine's face. Great you're here five minutes and one of his sisters already hates you.

Emily jumped slightly at the sound of a loud thump from upstairs. "Uncle Mick!"

Emily watched as three little boys, all different ages, came bounding down the stairs. They nearly knocked Mick over and Emily immediately went to grab Kehlani but Mick wasn't having it. He held Kehlani tighter with one arm and wrestled with his nephews with his other. Emily smiled and relaxed slightly, but that was short-lived when she jumped a mile in the air after feeling a hand on her shoulder.

"I didn't mean to scare you dear. Mick wouldn't dare let those rowdy boys hurt her. He's just as protective as you are with Kehlani. Besides, she seems to be having a good time too." Nina said as she walked into the living room and sat down. Emily looked at Mick and broke into a huge grin when she saw Kehlani laughing just as loudly as the boys were. After the majority of the ruckus died down, Mick introduced Emily to his nephews. "Em, these are my nephews Nico, Austin, and Neil. Nico is Jenna's and these other two rascals belong to Jeanine."

Emily resisted the urge to look over at Mick's sisters because she felt Jeanine's eyes on her. The youngest boy, Nico, walked over to Emily, so she kneeled down to his level. "Hi I'm Nico. I'm 5."

Emily gave Nico a wide smile and he blushed and looked to the ground. "Hi Nico. I'm Emily." she extended her hand and he shook it firmly. "Nice handshake", Emily said with a smile. "Thanks. Uncle Mick taught me."

Jeanine had fire in her eyes and a death grip on her boys. It was obvious that she wanted them nowhere near Emily. Jenna pulled the boys closer to her, forcing Jeanine to let go of them, and let them go over to Emily to say hello. It didn't go unnoticed by Emily and she even saw Archie throwing daggers with his eyes towards his daughter. Emily immediately felt uncomfortable but didn't say anything to Mick about it. Emily smiled as Austin and Neil made their way over to her and shook her hand. Austin, the oldest of the boys, tapped Emily on the shoulder. "Could we play with your little girl? I promise we'll be careful. She's the only other kid here besides us and we want her to feel like she can play with us if she wants to. Kehlani will be around more right?" Emily tried to form a response but Neil cut her off. "Uncle Mick said that you guys- I mean girls- will be sticking around for a while." Emily looked from the two proud boys and over to Mick, who was blushing furiously and avoiding her gaze, before turning back around and smiling. "I think it's absolutely fine if you guys play with Kehlani." Emily laughed as they all high-fived each other and briefly wondered if Jeanine let them have much interaction with other kids.

Mick put Kehlani on the floor and she immediately took off after the boys. They didn't go far, so all the adults had a watchful eye on them. They pulled out various toy trains and cars and Kehlani's shrieks of excitement let everyone know that she was having a blast. Jenna could feel her sister fuming, not that she knew why, and decide to start some adult conversation. "So, Emily Mick says that you run Interpol. That's so cool!"

For a second time, Mick looked almost bashful. Emily chuckled before saying, "I used to do the same thing that Mick did before I came to London to work for Interpol." Jenna spoke up and bitterly spat out, "So you were on Mick's team. Isn't sleeping with a team member against rules or something?"

Everyone's eyes, except Emily's, went wide as their mouths hung open. "Actually, I was on a different team. I didn't meet Mick until I had been on my team 4 years. To answer your question, yes it is against the rules to date within the bureau but that doesn't apply to Mick and I. We've only been together since I've been at Interpol, so we aren't doing anything wrong."

Mick looked at his sister with a smug smile and he pulled Emily closer to him. Archie and Jenna were both smirking and Nina was smiling slightly and doing a horrible job at hiding it. Jeanine stood up and stomped off in the direction of the kitchen. Jenna rolled her eyes and went after her sister. Emily felt Mick rubbing gentle circles up and down her arm but it did nothing to make her feel better. How are you supposed to survive four more days in this cabin if you can't even be civil with his sister. Make it right Emily. Sisters shouldn't act that way. You're an only child, how would you know how siblings act? Make it right Emily.

"Hey you okay?" Mick asked with concern. Emily leaned into his side, "I'm okay. I just need to do something first." Mick was about to respond but his mother caught his attention. "Mick take your bags up to your room. I wasn't sure where you guys wanted Kehlani to sleep, so I set up Nico's old bed in your room." Mick nodded his head and followed his mother's instructions.

Emily stopped at the entrance of the kitchen when she heard hush voices. She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop and turned to walk away, but stopped when she heard her name.

"Why do you hate Emily so much? She makes Mick happy." Jenna asked.

"Because she isn't right for him. She'll never be good enough for Mick. She is just some woman with the baggage of a kid and God knows what else. She's just going to bring him down and she'll never survive in this family. Mick bringing them here is a joke. She's just a sex toy for Mick until he gets bored. I mean come on, do you see the way she's dressed? Who comes to a cabin in a form fitting outfit and heels. She is just temporary arm candy and we all know it. I'll be glad when Mick's done dealing with this joke of a relationship." Jenna stared at her sister with wide eyes as Jeanine proudly turned her nose in the air.

Emily stood in the doorway and felt the tears pour over and spill out onto her cheeks.
