In this chapter we get to meet Livvie's insane family.)
Livvie was outside the house of 34 Cherry Wood Lane in Albany, New York. Her eldest sister Lauren and her Husband lived in the large five bedroom house with her husband Blake, and there five children. Tyler who is twelve, Jasmine who is ten, Anna who is seven, Robert who is six and three year old Libby.
All of Livvie's brothers and sisters were getting together for the annual 'Plan-For-Mom-and-Dad's-Anniversary' weekend. All Seven of the Santos children, plus six In-Laws and countless nieces and nephews.
Livvie sighed and lifted her hand, about to knock on the door. 'I know what's going to happen' she thought to herself 'Lynn will say, "Oh Livvie, I love the hair, I bet you get tons of action!" and Lois will say, "Livvie, I work with the cutest guy." Of course Lucas, always the blunt one will say "Liv, how's the love life?" followed by Alison kicking him under the table. It happens all the time.' Livvie ran a hand down her hair brown that was around the middle of her back and rang the doorbell.
Inside she could hear a dog barking and faint footsteps as someone came to answer the door.
"Livvie!" Exclaimed Lauren as she opened the door.
"Hey Lauren." she said uncomfortably as her sister embraced her.
"Aunt Liv!" Several voices yelled as Livvie stepped into the house.
"Hey guys!" Livvie said smiling down at her nieces and nephews. "Isn't a little late for you kids to be up?" Moans of "I hate sleeping" and "It's only so the adults can party!" Were heard. Livvie rolled her eyes and walked into the dining room where she saw her family at the table.
"About time Liv," Lucas said as Livvie walked into the kitchen.
"My God Lucas, you must really be getting tired in your old age. It's only eleven thirty" she retorted as she smiled innocently.
"That reminds me Liv" Lucas sneered, he hated being called old. "How's the love life?"
As predicted by Livvie earlier Alison kicked him under the table.
"Much better then your sex life, thanks." She said coolly as she sat down.
Luis smirked at Lucas. "Livvie. you make me so proud!" HHe said as he wiped away fake tears.
"Thanks Luis. It was all for you man, all for you." She said smiling at him.
"Well, let's get down to business." Leticia said.
"Always the efficient one right Let." Lynn said smiling at Leticia.
"Anyway." Leticia started, glaring at Lynn "This anniversary is huge for mom and dad. It's the forty fifth year they've been together. That's huge- "
"You said that," Livvie interrupted lazily with her head propped up on her hand.
"I know that," she sneered. "It's just. this time lets not skip on details."
"Do we ever?" Asked Frisco, Lois' husband.
"Not with Leticia." Luis answered.
"Come on guys," Lauren reasoned. "Don't pick on her."
"Yeah, don't pick on me. Right Jacob?" Leticia asked her husband.
"Yes. Come on, let's be adults." Jacob said looking at them all.
A faint sound of a whip cracking came from where Lucas was. Everyone at the table looked towards him.
"What?" he asked innocently. Jacob scowled at him.
"Listen everyone. I have something to say." Livvie said. Everybody looked towards her. "I got a new job!" She exclaimed.
"That's great Liv," Alison smiled at her.
"Wait, there's more," Livvie took a deep breath. "It's in England."
Chaos broke out. "Wait till I'm done." She said though gritted teeth. "It's a wizardring school." Everyone looked at her in silence. "I'm done."
"I thought you gave all that stuff up," Lucas said looking her straight in the eye.
"I did. They need me though." Livvie was the only one in her family that went to a Wizarding school, and they weren't particularly fond of it at that.
"Need you? Oh Liv, is it because you want to feel needed? You'll find true love! In fact, I work with the cutest guy-" Lois started.
"No Lois, I need a job. It was my on of my best subjects at Salem. Anyway I leave on September the first. Well, that's when I need to be there. I leave on the thirty-first. I'm going on J.F.K at ten thirty. The train I have to be on leaves at eleven. Can we just let the subject drop?"
The table agreed and they went back to planning.
The next morning Livvie awoke to seven year-old Madison, Lucas and Alison, jumping on her bed.
"Y-Y-Yes Maddy?" she said though a yawn.
"Time to get up Auntie Liv!" Madison exclaimed
"Right. What's for breakfast?" Livvie asked propping herself up on her elbows.
"Pancakes and waffles!" The young girl exclaimed.
"Let me get up and we'll go together." Livvie offered.
Madison ran out of the room leaving Livvie to get dressed. She sighed knowing in less then two weeks she wouldn't be seeing her family for a long while.
(Another chapter done. Like it? Love it? Want to see it go down in flames? Only one way to say!)
