Chapter Twenty: "The Pier"

"Go wake everyone up." Mr. Boscorelli said once Beka relaxed. Beka got up and ran upstairs. First she woke Bosco, Mikey and Doc up. Tyr wouldn't wake up.

"Five more minutes, please Aunt Terry." Tyr groaned out as he rolled back over.

"Now lets see, I've been Aunt Terry, Grandma Jean, Doc and your mother. Funny how I can be all of them. But if you don't get up now not only will you not go on vacation with us but you wont see me while we're gone." Beka said. With that said, Tyr sat up in the bed so fast Beka fell off of it and landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"You ok?" Tyr asked as she got up.

"Yea, but next please don't be telling me things you don't want say- oh Aunt Terry to know." Beka said going to the door. "Come help with the little ones." Tyr followed her to her room. Faith was already up and downstairs. Timothy and Jeff got up and ran downstairs when they were woken up. Tobias and Jamie wouldn't wake up so Beka picked Jamie up and Tyr got Tobias and they walked downstairs to leave.

"Ready now?" They were asked. They nodded and they all left. They piled into two cars. About one in the afternoon they arrived at the house they rented for the next four weeks. Once they got their bags into the house Beka went to look at the view.

"Come on Beka, come down to the pier with us." Tobias said pulling on Beka's hand.

"No. You sure he's related to you Tyr?" Beka said.

"Yea, go on with them." Tyr said. Bosco and Tyr were laughing so hard that Beka finally gave in and went down to the pier.

"Come on Bos, let's go watch." Tyr said following Beka and the kids. While down there Beka had gotten onto the tire swing that hung over the water and started swinging on it. Tyr said something funny and made Beka fall off the swing. She landed in the water and didn't surface right away. When she did about 30 seconds later she was gasping for air then swam to the pier. Tyr offered her a hand. When she grabbed his hand she pulled him into the water then got out before he could get her. Beka hugged Bosco getting him wet. They went in and ate; well Beka and Tyr changed into dryer clothes first then sat with the rest of the group.

"Maurice will you stop bringing up my past!" Beka yelled as she ran out of the house and towards the pier. She never called him by is real name or full name unless she was mad.

"May I?" Tyr asked. Mr. Boscorelli nodded and Tyr went after her.
