It was early in the morning on the last day of travel for Jack, Elizabeth, Jasper, and Jacob. They would reach London by midday, and Elizabeth was glad for it, because she desperately wanted a bath once she reached her Aunt's home.

"My Aunt is an older lady by now so please be nice, as she will return the same graciousness to you." Elizabeth and Jack then walked up the stairs of her aunt's home, Jasper and Jacob were still in the drive waiting to get the signal.

"May I help you?" The butler answered the door.

"The lady of the house is Claire Bolton is it not?" Elizabeth inquired.

"Yes miss she is."

"Will you tell her that her niece Elizabeth is here to see her?"

"Right away, please step inside. Tell your men to leave the horses that the stable boy will tend to them." Jack then motioned for Jasper and Jacob to come in the home with them.

Claire Bolton's house was enormous, it was just as grand as it's size, Jack felt out of place.

"Elizabeth!" Claire came into the foyer, a surprised look on her face.

"Aunt Claire!" Elizabeth ran to her Aunt's open arms.

"Child why have you not written in so long? What brings this visit?" She asked happily.

"Well, I feel quite guilty about not writing to you in almost four years now, so I decided I would visit."

"You have definitely made up for it. You are so beautiful Elizabeth, you look exactly like you mother, God rest her soul." Claire then looked over to Jack, Jacob, and Jasper, and gave them a warm smile. "Who are these gentlemen?"

Elizabeth then grabbed Jack's hand and walked over to her Aunt, "This is my husband Jackson Astor."

"How do you do?" Jack then gave Claire a smile.

"Fine thank you. Elizabeth you certainly have grown in these past few years. Now, it looks as if your journey has been a long one, so I shall have my servants take you to your room and draw you bath for you and your husband, I have some garments that you both could use until we call for the seamstress, which I will do right away. We shall talk more when we are all settled, in the morning."

"Thank you Aunt Claire."

"It is nothing child, just seeing you is like having my sister back, you two look so much alike, it is uncanny." Claire then hurried off.

"She is a charming woman…like her niece." Jack said with a smile to Elizabeth.

"Yes she is." Then a servant interrupted them.

"This way my lords, be sure your men follow so they know the way." Jasper and Jacob gave each other a look then followed with the bags.

Once the door was closed behind them they began to talk freely.

"So where do we sleep?" Jasper asked.

"Probably with the servants." Jack said.

"When they start to fill the tub, I am sure they will take you with them." Elizabeth added.

"Are we in for it Jacob or what!" Jasper said annoyed.

"Listen to me Jasper, do not screw this up, or I swear I'll make your bloody life miserable!" Jack said to him.

"I'm not going to screw anything up…I swear…" Jasper quieted once he realized what he sounded like.

Elizabeth began to bustle about the room hiding their weapons. "Jasper and Jacob, your affects will be in this closet with ours." Just as she finished the sentence one of the servants walked in.

"The water is being brought now milady."

"Thank you, and could you please show my men their accommodations."

"They will be staying right next door should you need them. This way gentlemen." Jacob and Jasper then followed the man.

"A hot bath! I cannot wait!" Elizabeth said as she let down her hair.

"Me neither…" Jack then gave her a sly smile. "It is in a separate room, luv, with a lock, complete privacy…"

"That is very accommodating of my dear Aunt isn't it?" Elizabeth said with a grin of her own.

"My lady the tub is filled and you and my lord's garments are laid upon the table. Would you need assistance in dressing?" The servant asked.

"No, we can manage all on our own." Elizabeth gave him a smile. "That is all we shall be needing." Elizabeth then locked the door behind him as the servant walked out of the door.

"Now, we can have our fun…" Elizabeth said as she hooked her arms around Jack's neck.

"I am always up for that…"
