Chapter 25: Never Normal
Nellie woke up early so she could get breakfast started. She put on her thin robe over her pajamas and walked out of her room. She walked down the hallways to the kitchen.
She opened the doors and saw Amy and Ian laughing. Amy was over the stove trying to cook and Ian was behind her holding her hands and guiding them. Amy tried to flip a pancake and Ian was helping her; the pancake landed on the floor behind them.
Nellie laughed and they both turned around smiling sheepishly. "Sorry Nellie; Ian said he could cook, but I guess he was wrong," Amy said putting the pan down.
"It's okay," Nellie said picking up the burnt pancake. The cocked her eye brows and looked at Ian, "I would have expected you to at least know how to cook a pancake."
"Don't blame me, I've had servants my entire life," Ian said putting his hands up in defense. He looked down at Amy, "I would have expected Amy to know how to cook." Amy's mouth dropped open and she playfully punched him in the shoulder. Ian grabbed his shoulder and grimaced in pain.
Amy's eyes went wide and she bent down and looked at him. "I'm so sorry, Ian. I didn't mean to hurt you," Amy said her eyes full of fear.
Ian looked up at her with a smile on his face. He leaned down and kissed her. She smiled and leaned onto the counter. He leaned over her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Hey, no kissing while I'm around," Nellie said grabbing the pan.
Amy and Ian pulled away and looked at each other with a smile on their faces. "Fine, Nellie," Amy said pulling away from Ian and sitting down in a chair at the counter. Ian groaned and walked over and stood in front of the counter.
They all heard laughing coming from outside the door and they all turned to see Natalie and Dan burst into the kitchen. Dan had his hand wrapped around Natalie's waist and she was standing right beside him. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek and she turned to face him. Natalie put her hand on his chest and kissed him on the lips.
"Do I really have to tell you two the same thing I told Ian and Amy?" Nellie said leaning against the counter.
Dan pulled away from Natalie. He turned his head and smirked at Nellie, "Depends. What did you tell them?"
Nellie cocked her eye brows and looked at Dan. "I told them no kissing while I was around."
"Fine," Natalie said smiling. "We'll just be in the living room. If you need us, just come and get us." She grabbed Dan's hand and started to walk out of the room.
"Not so fast young lady," Ian said looking at Natalie. "You are not going anywhere alone with Daniel."
Natalie turned and looked at her brother, "You can't tell me what to do; especially when you are doing the same thing with Amy."
Ian stared at his little sister in disbelief. "And we are older," Ian said in his British accent.
"Only by two years," Hamilton said walking into the room. He had his arm wrapped around Sinead's shoulders. She looked up at him and smiled.
Nellie's shoulders slumped and she sighed, "Don't tell me you two got together too." Hamilton nodded and looked down at Sinead and kissed her. "No kissing, I'm making a new rule here. Does anyone get that?"
Hamilton pulled away and smiled down at Sinead.
Madison and Reagan entered the kitchen with a smile on their faces. They walked over and leaned against the wall; they fell slowly down to the floor. Nellie looked over at them and cocked her head, "Not you two too."
They both nodded. Hamilton turned to his sisters and stared at them with concerned eyes. "And who are these two boys?"
They smiled back up at him. "Well," Reagan said looking up in the air, "They are brothers."
Madison looked at her sister and then up in the air, "They actually have a sister too; they are triplets."
Sinead took a step towards the sisters and stood in front of them with her hands on her hips. "Which one has who?" Sinead asked in a shocked voice.
Ned and Ted came into the room smiling. Ned walked over to Madison and picked her up off the floor and sat her down on her feet. He kissed her on the lips. Reagan jumped up when she saw Ted and she ran up to him. Ted heard her and stood still. She ran to him and engulfed him in a hug and then he leaned down and kissed her.
Sinead walked back over to Hamilton, "Well…I guess that explains that."
"Yea it does," Hamilton said staring at his sister. "Ned, Ted! You better not hurt my sister," Hamilton said in a stern voice.
Ned and Ted both pulled away from Madison and Reagan. "Hey, we should be saying that to you," they both said in unison.
Jonah and Phoenix walked into the room and saw all the couples hugging or talking and Nellie making breakfast. Jonah sighed and said, "Dawg, I need a girlfriend."
"And you're talking like you are the only one. I need one too," Phoenix said looking up at his older cousin.
Jonah looked down at Phoenix with strange eyes. "You are only twelve; you do not need a girlfriend."
Phoenix snickered and walked towards Nellie, "That says how much you know."
Nellie turned around and looked at the two boys. "I already have to watch out for five couples, please don't make it seven. If that happens, I think I might go crazy."
Next thing everyone knew was Fiske bursting through the kitchen door breathing heavily. His eyes were wide and he stared at each of them. "No fighting!" Fiske yelled looking at each of them.
"Uncle Fiske," Amy said warily. "We aren't fighting."
"You weren't?" Fiske asked in disbelief. They all shook their heads saying nothing. Fiske stood up and straightened his shirt. "Well then, why are all of you out of bed so early?"
Nellie smiled and shook her head. "They all came down to eat breakfast and see all their boyfriends and girlfriends. Well…except for Jonah and Phoenix, they just came down for breakfast." Jonah's and Phoenix's shoulders slumped.
Fiske cocked his head to the side, "All I have to say is that I wasn't expecting that to happen."
"We're Cahills," Amy said looking at Ian. "Nothing is never normal."
