The aroma of turkey and ham filled the house. The red, orange, yellow, and brown leaves filled the front yard. They have to rake the yard soon; winter was upon them. Anna noticed a car full of people driving passed her aunt's house from the window. More likely they were heading home to a Thanksgiving feast, or to go black Friday shopping. Anna shook her head. It was ridiculous how some people would camp out in front of a store to go shopping. It was materialistic, although Aria would disagree with her.

It's been a week since Romen Starr had come to town. Other than talking about a plan to go to Oz, none of the Beauchamps talked to him. Anna Beauchamp was no exception. She heard about this man from her family and was not eager to meet him tomorrow. For tomorrow, Romen would accompany Nyssa, Melena, Aria, Derek, and herself to Oz. It was more bitter than sweet for Anna that they would be leaving tomorrow. She barely got into town almost a week ago, so she hasn't had time to spend with her family as much as she would had liked. For the past two years, against her better judgement, she has been at school. Granted she changed her focus from pediatrics to dermatology, but it was a demanding major. However, Anna changed her focus too late in the year that she would have to wait till fall of next year to enroll in the classes that she need.

Anna Beauchamp looked up from her book that she was trying to be engrossed in for the past half hour, but failed. Looking at this scene before her, Anna wouldn't trade this moment for anything. Maggie, in in her hot pink long sleeved shirt, purple skirt, black tights, and pink and black converse, was on the other side of the coffee table, trying to teach the blonde hair girl how to play hungry hungry hippos. Anna believe the girl's name was Kristin. The girl seemed out of place in her oversized long sleeved purple shirt and blue jeans.

"GO!" Maggie yelled as the game began. Anna couldn't believe that Nyssa was playing the game with the kids. No, correction, of course she could believe Nyssa was playing with the kids. The girl in her blue jean jacket, black shirt, and army green jeans, was a kid by heart. That's why Nyssa and Maggie got along so well.

"Penny for your thoughts," Anna felt a dip next to her on the sofa. She was happy that her old roommate was here to celebrate thanks giving with them.

"Just taking this all in," Anna still stared at her sister playing the board game. Anna didn't want this to end, she didn't want to go to Oz tomorrow.

"You nervous?" Anna felt that Daegan had gain mind reading abilities since the last time they saw each other. Anna felt bad for Elphaba and Fiyero. They gave her and Nyssa up to live a better life and now they could be on the run from Morrible. But, Anna didn't want to give this up. She loved her family, she loved her step dad and sister. Tommy had been the best step dad she had ever had. Tommy wasn't nice to her or Nyssa because he had to, he was sincerely a kind man. He loved to help people and Anna finally had someone to talk to about medical stuff. Anna didn't feel weird. And unlike her other mother's ex-husbands, Tommy was human. He didn't try to show off his power, nor was he manipulative. Tommy loved her mom for her and not because she was a Beauchamp. Anna hated all the guys who dated and married her mom because she was a Beauchamp. There was so much more to her mom than a name, she was a good person, faults and all.

Anna didn't want change. It took a lot for her to accept Tommy as family, but she did.

She liked her life the way it was and she knew if Elphaba and Fiyero were to come back in her life, it would be a big change. Of course Anna was grateful to them, but to her Fiyero and Elphaba were donors. Wendy was her mom. Tommy was her step dad. The people in this house were her family, and that was all she need.

"Me too," Daegan took Anna's silence as a conformation. The two watched the kids playing their game with Nyssa. Anna didn't understand, If Dae was so nervous to leave, why would she go. This was war, and this wasn't Daegan's fight. It was the Blue Bloods. They were the ones that were fighting Lucifer and his minions. Daegan and J.R. had nothing to do with it. They were witches and warlocks not vampires.

"You don't have to go with them. You know that right?" Anna broke the silence.

"I know," Daegan shrugged her shoulders and looked at Anna. "But after everything the three of us had been through, I do. Alex helped me when we were looking for Romen. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for her my family would be different," a soft smile appeared on Daegan's face as she thought about her newly found family.

"I'm glad you found them," truly Anna was. She may not want to find her biological family, but that didn't mean that she didn't want her best friend not to find hers. On the contrary, she wanted Daegan to find her family. It broke Daegan's heart when she thought her twin was dead. Anna could relate to that. It felt like her heart was ripped out of chest and squeezed to dust when Nyssa died. Even if it was only a little while. Anna could only imagine what she felt. But by some miracle, Dae was able to not only find her twin alive, but her parents and her brother. Daegan deserve a happy ending and Anna was glad she was getting it.

"Me too. I can't wait to go back to them," Daegan was grinning from ear to ear. "Between us, me and J.R. have been talking and after all this is over we think it's time to settle down and have a family of our own."

"Really? Wow. I'm happy for you. The both of you," Anna gave a genuine smile.

"Yeah, it just when we found Kristin I knew I wanted a child," confusion crossed Anna's face as Daegan played with her necklace she never took off. It was a clear, marble size stone entwined with a silver metal that was encircled with a gold metal. Anna knew what that meant, Dae was nervous. "I know this may be a little premature, but would you be my baby's godmother?"

"You serious?" Anna was caught off guard at Daegan's question.

"Yeah. I would ask Lily but she's still a stranger to me and me and Alex has been through a lot the past few months, and don't get me wrong, she's great with Kristin. But I know without a doubt that you would be there for my kid."

"Yeah, I'll be your kid godmother."

"I WIN!" The two turned their heads to see Maggie jumping up and down. Anna knew Nyssa let their sister win, she always did. Anna could remember Nyssa would do the same thing to her when they were kids. Nyssa knew that Anna wouldn't play games with her because she was afraid to lose, so she would lose on purpose so Anna would play. Anna remembered that she was upset when she found out, but secretly thanked her sister.

"How time flies," Anna didn't mean to say that out loud. Daegan looked at the younger witch to continue. "I'm just think about how much has changed. A few years ago we would be back in New Orleans having Thanksgiving, just the three of us."

"Now you have an entire family to celebrate it with," Anna nodded her head. This is what she always wanted, a family. "And you kept your pie tradition," this made Anna laughed. Out of her and her sister, Anna tends to be more traditional and loves to eat pumpkin pies only on Thanksgiving. Sadly, Nyssa, on the other hand, hated it. She hated the taste, the texture, she would refuse to eat it. So what Wendy came up with is that they would have small personal pies for them to avoid the problem. A practice they still do to this day.

Before Anna could say anything there was a knock at the front door. "I'll get it," Anna offered, thinking it might had been Maggie's mom coming over to pick her daughter up to spend the holidays with her. Anna left the living room, her sister oblivious to her departure as they were in their next round of the game. Anna could hear the whole house was bustling to get ready for tonight's feast, the last one as a family. Well that was not entirely true, Freya and Killian were in Germany. Anna wished that her older cousin and husband would had waited a week, she missed them both.

As Anna grew closer to the front door, she saw a silhouette of a tall man. It couldn't had been Maggie's mom; she always came alone when she came to get Maggie. It wasn't her uncle or Fredrick, they were here already and uncle Arthur was in London helping out the Blue Bloods. Tommy and her mom were already there helping Joanna with the food. Well as much as they could. Aunt Joanna tend to be overly in charge when it came to food. It could be Derek, him and Aria were not there yet.

Anna reached for the door and slowly turn the doorknob. It wasn't Derek or Aria, but a man she never met before. He smiled at her, but something in her gut was telling her not to let him in. Even if he had a dish, from what Anna could smell, of potatoes. "Hello," he said in a cheerful tone.

"Hello," Anna closed the door behind her, determined to know who was this stranger. "Who are you?"

"Oh I'm sorry. My name is Aaron," he offered his hand.

"You're Aaron?" Normally Anna would be polite and shake his hand, but she knew who he was. He was her mom first husband. Usually, in any other story, you're supposed to hate mom's new boyfriend. This wasn't the case. Anna didn't like mom's old husband.

"Yeah. And you are?"

"Anna, Wendy's daughter," she said more aggressively than she intended.

"Oh wow! It's nice to meet you," he tried to offer his hand again, but Anna wouldn't budge.

"I want you to go."

"Go?" Anna could see the man was confused for a moment and then a goofy grin appeared on his face. "I hope you mean inside," he tried to walk past her, but Anna moved to block the door.

"No I want you to leave. Now!" she demanded. Anna wanted this man gone before either her mother or Tommy knew that he was there.

"So you're the bad cop. I guess your sister is the nicer one," Aaron tried to joke with Anna, but she was unamused.

"No. You don't belong here," she crossed her arms, hoping he got the message.

"I beg to differ. What's your problem?" Anna could see he was getting frustrated with her. She didn't care as long as he was gone.

"You. I don't want you here."

"Why?"

"It's none of your concern."

"It is if I want to have Thanksgiving with my wife," Anna stood her ground as the man's voice grew harsher.

"She isn't your wife!"

"Correct me if I'm wrong but this ring says differently," he brought up his hand to show the black ban with silver writing engraved in it. Anna wasn't sure, but she believed it could had been elvish. Whatever it was it was a beautiful design.

"Well correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the vows you said was death to you part. Well mom already died. Nine times. So your argument is null and void."

Before Aaron had a chance to reply, a voice erupted behind him. "Hey if the lady doesn't want you here then sir I suggest you leave," Anna was so engrossed for the man to leave, she didn't notice Derek or Aria walking towards them until now.

"Who are you?" Aaron asked, clearly upset that he was out beat three to one. The two stand by Anna, ready to fight if it came down to it.

"Family!"
