(Jamie's POV)
When Legolas gave me the address and went upstairs, I sat in a kitchen chair and began to cry. I very rarely cry. And it was a pretty weird shock. I think I was crying softly, because I did here a knock at the door. I hurriedly wiped my eyes on my hand and went to answer it. Frodo was asleep. Poor guy. His favourite daughter was catching up. I smiled softly.
When I got to the door, I saw five people there that I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Arwen! Aragorn! Kids! hello!" I exclaimed, hugging each of them in turn.
"Hi, Jamie." said Asta [1], the oldest of the triplets.
"Hi Jamie," said the other two, Aurelia[2] and Alvina[3]. Arwen and Aragorn smiled.
I led them all inside and sat them down. The triplets, just younger than Ria but older than Fortuna, looked eager.
"The kids are all outside, if you want to go play with them. They by the lake, I think." I said, smiling. I saw Arwen look at me with a raised eyebrow. When the kids left, she turned to me.
"Jamie, what's wrong, you've been crying."
"Oh nothing. Billee and Legolas are here and they've brought Kane and Vincent with them. Emma's children." I said, when Aragorn look confused.
We began to talk.
(Ria's POV)
We were down at the lake, playing on the old tyer swing, when my friends, the Strider triplets came running up. We hadn't seen each other in about six months and we were really excited. All my cousins were playing tag, or something. I introduced the triplets to Vince and Kane.
"Are you...Emma Silverblade's son?" asked Asta, curious.
"Emma Darkshield. Yeah." said Kane. I could see he look kinda uncomfortable.
I broke the tension between everyone and yelled, to my sister, brothers, all my cousins and the kids in my class, including Harriet, Gilly and Sally.
"HEY YOU GUYS! LET'S PLAY STUCK IN THE MUD!!!"
I have never heard a cheer so big. Gillian volentered to go 'it'. She tagged me and I was 'stuck in the mud' until someone tagged me free. Kane did that.
We spent the whole afternoon just laying different games and when we were all finished, my friends and cousins went home, my sister and brotehrs and vincent went inside and the triplet, Kane and me all sat underneath the sycamore tree and told each other the stories that our parents told us of when they were in high school.
Asta told of a time when my uncle Jake and Uncle Baz were playing basketball and the ball hit Uncle Jake in the mouth causing him to lose and swallow wobbly tooth.
Kane told of when his mum was really really mad at my mum and Billee and Legolas and even Elrond one time, when she thought they all betrayed her trust.
Finally, I told of how mum and Billee and Legolas and EMma had all been friends. We all sat, stumped on this.
"We should think of a plan to get you mum and my mum back together." said Kane.
I smiled, and then I realised that...I had a crush...on Kane.
