Jesse.
Jesse walked up and knocked on the Villa door. Rafe and the kids slowly walked up behind her. She turned around to look at them. Rafe and Eddie had the same expression on their face, one that almost said out loud "Why am I here?" Looking over at Angel she saw not happiness, but willingness to see her cousins and spend some time with them.
"Hello," said the butler as he ushered them in. They waited a few minutes until Livvie showed up.
"Jesse," she said, taking her sister in her arms for a hug. She smiled looking at the others also.
She hadn't seen Angel in a few months, but it seemed every time she saw Angel she looked more like her mother. When she looked into Angel's and Eddie's eyes, it seemed like it was Alison looking back at her. The eyes that had befriended her so many years ago and then she destroyed the trust they held for Livvie back then. There was something else though that reminded her of Alison, maybe it was the willingness to befriend anyone.
She looked over at Eddie then. Even though he shared his mother's hair and eyes, he was completely a Kovich. He had the same stance as his father, which made her smile, as he probably had no idea.
Caleb came walking down the stairway, smiling as he saw them below. Eddie took one look at his Uncle and a feeling came over him. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was this feeling that he needed to defend his family at all costs from this man. Rafe looked over at Eddie. He knew the expression on his sons face. It was that of a slayer realizing he was in the presence of a vampire. He'd make sure they would have a talk later.
"Caleb," he said, as he walked over to him.
"Rafe," he said, noticing how his eyes kept wandering over to Eddie. "Do you want to have that chat now?"
"Yes, I guess so," as the two men walked to the study.
"Jasmine and Joseph should be down in a few," Livvie said to Angel and Eddie, as her and Jesse went to the kitchen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
"Have a seat, slayer," Caleb said, walking down and sitting in a chair.
"You know, you really shouldn't call me that. Of course, unless you want to explain to Jesse why we've been lying to her about our hatred for each other for the past eleven years," he said, standing with his arms crossed in front of him.
"You are the one that lied to her, and you are lying to your children now. Eddie has no idea he's a slayer, does he?"
"What I decide to tell and not tell my children is my business, not yours."
"Fine. About Joseph and Maxie," he said as he got up to make himself a drink. "I say that if the two somehow do get feelings for each other then let it be."
"Jasmine and Joseph have no idea their parents are vampires, do they?"
"I think I will quote the great Rafe Kovich on this one, 'What I decide to tell and not tell my children is my business, not yours'," he said with a smile.
"You have a lot of nerve, Caleb."
"Here's an idea Rafe, why don't we just go find our families and play nice for the rest of the day. We're obviously not going to get anywhere on this topic today."
"Fine by me," he said, walking out of the study to find Jesse and the kids.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Livvie stared out of the kitchen window, watching the kids walking around outside. Angel and Jasmine seemed to have a good friendship. Maybe that was what she meant when she said that their lives could cross again, that their children could become friends even though they never did again.
Jesse walked over to the window, "Where's Eddie?" she asked, not seeing him.
"I saw him walk over through the woods a few minutes ago."
"He's been very quiet lately. I don't know what's wrong."
"Wrong with whom?" Rafe said, walking in at the end of the conversation.
"Eddie, he walked off earlier. Has he seemed withdrawn to you?"
"No, he seems fine when I'm around him. I will go talk to him though and make sure everything is ok," Rafe said walking to go find his son.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
"Eddie? Are you out here?" he said, walking along the path that went through the woods.
"I'm over here Dad," he said, sitting on a rock.
"Is everything ok, son?" he asked as he sat down next to him.
"Yeah, I guess. I just got this weird feeling earlier, and I can't shake it."
"About Caleb?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Eddie, you are about to learn why Caleb and I can't get along."
"Really?"
"Yep. I've got an idea, after school gets out me and you can take a trip to Transylvania and I'll explain everything to you there. You have to promise though not to tell anyone."
His son looked up at him, and was able to give a half grin. "What about until then? We'll have more of these family visits and I'll have to deal with him then too."
"Here's the deal, whenever we have one of these family visits I will let you slide out of them, no questions asked on my part. How's that sound?"
Eddie nodded his head.
"Well, I think they should be about ready for dinner. You coming or feel like sitting out here some more?" Rafe said, sitting up and turning around.
"Yeah, I'm coming."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
"Ladies, this meal was wonderful," Rafe said, putting down his fork and stretching his arms back over his head.
"Thank you, Rafe," said Livvie.
"I think next time we should have it at our house. We could cook out and have some nice juicy steaks. How does that sound Caleb?" he said, with that sly grin on his face. He got no response out of Caleb though, just an evil look telling him to hush.
"I've got an idea," Jesse said. "Tomorrow the kids are going to meet with some friends at the park. Why don't Jasmine and Joseph come and join in?"
"That sounds like a great idea," Livvie chimed in, looking at the kids for approval. Jasmine seemed excited, but Joseph didn't care one way or the other.
