The Family
Two weeks later
Darrin walked into the parlor, and handed Crystal a letter, "Miss Turner, I believe this letter is addressed to a Miss Sparrow, from a Maggie Kennedy."
William stared over at where his wife was sitting, "Was Maggie one of your classmates?"
Crystal took the letter from Darrin, then looked over at her husband, "Yes, her and I were best friends," she opened the letter, and read it, she looked back at her husband, "Oh William, Maggie just got married, and she's moving to the Caribbean, is going to be a tutor for one of the houses here."
Lance came running through the parlor, and to the window facing the rose garden, "Oh mother, Charlene, and Brendan are in the rose gardens, this is the twelfth rose this week. He just kissed her on the cheek. Who would want to kiss Charlene on the cheek, gross."
William went over, and joined his son, "So that's Brendan is it?"
Crystal stared at her husband, and oldest son, "William you lecture Charlene about being an eaves dropper, but your son spys on her, and you just let him?"
William pushed his son away from the window, "Your mothers right go do something else besides spying on people," he still stared out the window, then he opened it when he saw Brendan lean in to give Charlene a kiss, "Charlene get inside!"
Lance stood next to his mother, and tried not to laugh, "I didn't mean to get her in trouble mother." "Oh yes you did mister," Crystal stared at her son, "You are way smarter then your father says you are."
"Charlene, I know you could hear me young lady, get away from the gardener, you don't know where he's been," William looked back towards his wife, "I know she hears me, why isn't she listening to me?"
Crystal walked up to the window, "Charlene Willow Turner, get in the house this second!"
William stared at Brendan, "Get back to work Brendan."
Charlene walked back into the house, and tried to go upstairs without her parents stopping her.
Lance saw his sister, "Where are you going Charlene?"
Charlene walked back downstairs, amd stepped into the parlor where her parents were waiting to talk with her, "Mother, Father, let me explain, Brendan and I were just walking in the gardens, he tried to kiss me, but I pulled away."
"I'll be going now," Lance looked at his parents, 'Take it easy on her now," he started to leave the parlor.
"Lance, Charlene, your mother, and I need to talk with you," William looked out into the lobby, "Darrin, will you please get Mrs. Turners' father?"
Darrin stepped into the parlor a few moments later, with jack following behind, "Mr. Sparrow is coming, sir."
Jack stepped into the parlor, and sat with his grandchildren, "What's this family meeting about?"
Crystal stood up next to her husband, "Father, William, and I decided that the children are allowed to go with you for one month. You have to promise they will be back in time for school to start."
"No, I don't want to go," said Charlene, and Lance at the same time.
Jack looked at his two grandchildren, "You don't want to go on a real pirates ship?"
Charlene, and lance exchanged looks, then she looked at her grandfather," Grandpa, we don't want to leave until the next baby comes, we want to be here when the new baby is born."
Jack stared at Crystal, "You got some smart children love." Lance looked at his grandpa, "But we want to go just as soon as the baby is born."
Jack hugged his two grandchildren, "Great, sounds like a plan, mates," he winked at Will, and his daughter.."
