MacDonald clan Gathering of 2013 - Part 2 By: Sammi
"Daddy!!" the girls shouted as Archie came into the house, they ran up to him with wee Jamie waddling behind them. "Ah its my Princess" He said kissing Megan, "My Angel" he said kissing Ashleigh "My baby" he said kissing Maddie "and my little J Pop!" He said picking Jamie up and swinging him round. "Don't your make him sick!" Lexie laughed walking down the stairs. "Archie when are the American MacDonald's getting here?" Lexie asked her husband. "Oh they should be here any time soon, Duncan's meeting them" Archie smiled at his wife. "It's going to be great" Lexie smiled back. "Right you lot lets be away with you, Grandma's going to look after you until our guests get here, oh and don't go into the kitchen I have cleaned you twice today I don't want to again ok" Lexie said to them, smarting their clothes up. "Right Megan take your sisters and Jamie up to the nursery, Grandma should already be up there." Archie spoke to his eldest. "Watch Jamie on the stairs!" Lexie shouted up to them. The two stood and watched as their 4 happy children climbed the stairs hand in hand. "We have a wonderful family," Archie said as he kissed Lexie. "Let' wait and see if the rest of the family think so too," she laughed.
"Joe! Bonnie! Ricky! So nice to see you again! Glad you could make the gathering!" Duncan shouted over the helicopter noise. He greeted them all. Ricky had grown into quite a handsome lad. "You watch out lad, my Isobel will soon be after you!" Duncan laughed shaking Ricky's hand. "Its 10years since we were at this beautiful place, but it hasn't changed a bit" Bonnie said smiling to herself. "Oh you wait till you meet all the biers!" Duncan laughed. "You have kids?" Joe asked Duncan,
"Yes 3 and a beautiful wife, you'll meet them later" Duncan smiled "Now let me take your bags and we shall be on our way."
"Joe, bonnie, Ricky so nice of you to join us!" Archie said welcoming them in, "You remember Lexie don't you?" Archie said beckoning Lexie forward. "Nice to meet you" Lexie said nervously. "Weren't you the housemaid?" Joe questioned. "Aye, but...well now I' the Lairds wife!" She laughed then gave Archie a worried look. "Erm... ill just go get the children..." Lexie said walking up the stairs.
"Molly?" Lexie opened the door, Molly was asleep in the rocking chair with Jamie on her lap, Ashleigh and Maddie were asleep in a bundle in the corner. Lexie's attention turned to Megan, who was sitting in the middle of the floor with wax canyons around her she, had her tongue sticking out as she drew. "What are you drawing?" Lexie said softly as she knelt down beside her daughter. Megan held the picture up, Lexie smiled when she saw; it was a picture of glenbogle house. "I' the Princess and this is my castle" Megan said proudly. Lexie smiled "I drew a picture just like that when I was a wee girl. Now come on, your American family have arrived and I want you to be a nice girl to them ok?" Lexie said smarting out Megan's dress. "I' always nice" Megan laughed with a cheeky grin. Lexie and Megan walked down the stairs. "The others are asleep," Lexie said to Archie. "Joe, Bonnie, Ricky this is my eldest daughter Megan Molly Macdonald." Archie said taking Megan by the shoulders. "Hello" Megan said loudly. "Oh Archie, Lexie, Megan's so cute!" Bonnie said hugging Megan. "I like Bonnie" Megan said happily. They all laughed. Well we will take your bags upstairs and get you settled in, Archie, Lexie, Duncan, Megan, Joe and Bonnie went upstairs. Ricky was left downstairs.
"I'm gonna get you two!" shrieks of laughter came through the house as Isobel chased Hamish and Callum she stopped as she looked up, "oh hello" she said surprised at seeing Ricky standing there. "She quickly smartened up and went over. "Hi, I'm Isobel" she said putting her hand out to shake his hand. "Hey its nice to meet you! I'm Ricky Macdonald" Ricky said smiling back. "Oh your one of the American Macdonald's!" Isobel said realising. Two little figures suddenly grabbed hold of Isobel's legs. "Ah" Isobel shouted out in surprise. "Oh and these are my two wee brothers Hamish and Callum" Isobel laughed and pulled them out from behind her. "Hey kids!" Ricky gave them a little wave. "So you lot our Duncan's kids?" Ricky asked seeing the resemblance in the two boys and Duncan. "Erm... yes" Isobel spoke remembering not to say anything in front of the two boys, she didn't want them knowing Duncan wasn't her dad. "Would you like something to eat?" Isobel asked quickly changing the subject. "Sure" Ricky replied. "Oh no, not you two terrors again" Ewan laughed as he saw Hamish and Callum enter the kitchen, his expression changed as he heard Isobel laughing with someone. "Ewan this is Ricky Macdonald." Isobel said gesturing to Ricky. "Nice to met ya" Ewan said nodding. "You too" Rickey said, he could feel the tension between them already.
