Chapter two: Getting there.
After shopping Kevin and Joan arrived back at home. As Joan walked to the door Kevin picked up some snow, rolled it into a ball and threw it at Joan. It hit her just as she turned around. "Hey!" she yelled to Kevin. "I'm so going to get you back for that."
"Mhmm, I'd like to see you try!" Kevin laughed. Just as he did he was smacked right on the arm with a snowball.
"Wow, good aim. I taught you well!"
Kevin and Joan continued with their snowball fight, however just as Luke walked out of the house to see what was going on Kevin threw a snowball completely missing Joan and hitting Luke right in the face. Luke looked stunned then joined in. Helen looked out the window realizing how things were finally getting back to normal as she smiled quietly to herself.
After the snow fight Kevin, Joan and Luke came into the house drenched from head to toe. Helen laughed "Have fun?"
"It was awesome, I totally kicked Joan's butt!" Kevin smirked.
"He did not!" Joan said.
"Well I hate for you two to fight so why don't we just admit it, I won." Luke exclaimed.
"Well go get cleaned up, supper's soon. We can continue this debate later" Helen said as she left for the kitchen.
Once Joan was finished cleaning up and had finally decided what to wear she sat on her bed to write a journal entry. However in the middle of her first sentence there was a knock on the door.
Kevin peered around the door, "Mind if I come in?"
"No not at all!" Joan sat up to the edge of her bed as Kevin parked his chair across from her.
"Nervous?" Joan asked.
Kevin took a deep breath "very... do you think she'll say yes?"
"I think so, you two really seem to love each other. This will sound cheesy but I'll never think anybody would ever be good enough for my big brother but I think Beth is as close as it's going to get."
Kevin leaned over to give Joan a hug. "Thanks Joan, I'm lucky to have you as a sister."
"Thanks, same here." she smiled.
"Joan! Kevin! Supper time!" Helen yelled up the stairs.
Joan and Kevin headed towards the stairs to join the rest of the family for their traditional Christmas Eve dinner.
It's short but I hope you like it. There will be more to come!
