Macdonald Clan Gathering of 2013 - Part 3
By: Sammi
"Sweetheart" Duncan called to Jess. "Are you ready? We have to go meet the other guests at the main gate."
"Sure, just a minute." Jess called back.
"Wa look at you!" Duncan said jaw dropping.
"You like this? Wait until you see what I am wearing for the party tonight" she laughed "now come on" she took his hand and they walked to the main gate.
Duncan and Jess stood at the gate, Jess laughed as Duncan pressed the button, "What you laughing at?" Duncan said in confusion. Jess laughed "Just remembering 10 years ago when I just came up to you and kissed you." She kissed him again. "Would it be possible to get some staff around here?" A familiar voice came from the car, it was Charles Macdonald. "Sorry sir!" Duncan quickly opened the gate. "Thank you!" He shouted back as he drove away.
"Right" Charles spoke to himself, "Here we go again" as he walked into the house. He walked through to the library. He saw the top of a head sitting on the seat. "Lexie" He walked up behind, the head turned around, "ahh!" Charles screamed in his posh voice. The little face, which belonged to Ashleigh, turned to surprise and she too screamed then started crying. "MUMMY! DADDY!" Ashleigh screamed at the top of her little voice. Maddie then came running in behind Charles he turned around so quick he scared her and she fell back, and started crying too. "D..a..d..d..y" Maddie wailed. "Ah there's two of them!" Charles screamed. Suddenly Megan came running through hearing her sister's cries, "Ah 3!" Charles screamed again. Then suddenly he looked down and screamed again "Yuck!" he yelled. It was wee Jamie dribbling over his shoes looking up and giving him a huge grin. Archie and Lexie both came running in at the same time, Archie picked up Maddie and hushed her quiet, Lexie went over to Ashleigh and calmed her down and Megan picked her wee brother up and used her dress to clean Charles shoes "sorry" she whispered. "I see you have met the children" Archie laughed.
"All yours?" Charles said looking at the 4 of them, their bright blue eyes and big brown eyes starring back. "Last time we checked there were four" Lexie laughed.
Charles raised his eyebrows, "Well Archie it certainly has been a long while, and 15 years back did I last see you?" Charles said fetching himself a glass. "You didn't come to the last clan gathering" Archie said "I was err.. busy" Charles said looking around. "Its in the cupboard, we had to hid it up after Ashleigh got hold of it once." Lexie said pointing to the cupboard below. "Thanks" Charles said reaching down. "Lexie you did a wonderful job last time, shall this time be so eventful?" Charles laughed. "no... well I should hope not" Lexie gave a little laugh.
"Hello?" A voice came from the hall. "Paul?" Lexie's face lit up. She ran through "PAUL!" Lexie ran right up to him and gave him a hug. "Uncle Paul!" Megan and Ashleigh chorused together they ran up to him, he bent down and gave them both a hug and kiss. Archie came through with Jamie and Maddie. Maddie looked at Paul then ran behind Archie's legs. "Don't remember me?" Paul came closer and peered round, Maddie gave a little squeak and ran through Paul's legs to Lexie, everyone laughed. "Archie it's great to see you again!" Paul said nodding at Archie, "and is this little Jamie?" Paul said looking at Jamie. Jamie threw his arm out and hit Paul in the face and giggled. "Ouch" Paul said laughing. "Jamie?" Charles said in surprise.
"Yes I know it was our brothers name but we thought it was a great choice for our only son." Archie said. "Charles nice to see you again" Paul spoke to Charles.
"Any ways it's nearly time for dinner." Lexie spoke, "Arch, im going to go get the children ready." Lexie said taking Jamie from Archie and taking Maddie's hand.
"Lexie have you seen Izzy and the boys...Hey Paul!" Jess came through, running up to him to give him a hug. "Hey Jess!" Paul said "They were in the kitchen last time I saw them" Lexie said walking up the stairs with the children. "Thanks Lexie, well everyone I'll catch you later! Bye!" Jess called as she went towards the kitchen. "ah there you all are!" Jess called, coming into the Kitchen. "Mummy!" the boys called running up to her. Jess laughed. "o and who's this?" Jess said talking to Isobel. "You must be Isobel's mom, you look just like her, beautiful" Rickey said getting up to shake Jess's hand. Jess laughed "yes that's me."
"Izzy, its nearly time for dinner, we need to go get ready." Jess said picking up Callum.
"Ok mum, ill be there in a minute." Izzy called. "Well it was nice meeting you Rickey, I shall see you at dinner." Izzy left him and Ewan and went on to get ready.
"Hello?" A voice called from the hall, "Uncle Archie, Aunt Lexie? Golly? Grandma? Duncan? Jess?" another voice called. Molly came out in the hall. "Lizzie! Martha! You made it!" she said excited giving them both a big hug. Martha was now 14 and looked just like Lizzie, with blondish hair, cut short and that lovely smile. "Martha!" all five kids came running to her. "Hey you lot!" Martha laughed, giving them all a hug and kiss. "Auntie Lizzie!" they all then went on to run to her. "Lizzie!" Lexie came out into the hall and gave her sister in law a hug. "Where's ma wee brother then?" Lizzie said looking around.
