In the airport Kirsten impatiently waited for what seemed like endless minutes during which she checked the arrivals board every two seconds. She saw Georgia coming down the escalator and her face lit up. Kirsten walked up to her as she stepped off. The paused as they stood in front of each other smiling. Both could tell this was slightly awkward but Kirsten was questioning why. Kirsten smiled at her warmly. "Hi sweetie" She said before they embraced in a hug. "I'm so glad you're here."

"This is so weird." Georgia whimpered.

Kirsten pulled her out of their hug and smirked. "Well it's our family."

Georgia laughed. "So when do I get to meet them?" She asked eagerly.

As they walked to luggage collection "Well Sandy's working and the boys are at school so you will have to hold on until tonight I'm afraid."

Georgia smiled. "Brothers eh?"

Kirsten smiled, thinking how proud she was of her two boys in these last two years. Hopefully she'd feel the same pride about Georgia in a short while. "Yes: Ryan and Seth."

Georgia grinned happily. "I've always wanted a bigger family. Being an only child gets lonely."

Kirsten recalled Seth's 16 years of whining. "I've heard." They got to the baggage collection but they haven't started to come round yet. "They're 17"

"Are they fit?"

Kirsten laughed shocked. "They're your brothers!"

Georgia grinned cheekily. "I can still show them off to my friends." The bags start coming out.

"Well I hate to tell you we have an event to attend tonight."

"What kind of event?" Georgia asked.

"It's the Newport Group's magazine, Newport Living, it won an award. And I kind of have to be there. I own the Newport Group…pretty much and the magazine, pretty much" Julie does play her part of course. Too much sometimes. They are partners though. Kirsten re-hired Julie after Caleb died and gave her more work to do.

Georgia was impressed. Her own company. "I see"

Kirsten stammered. "But if you don't feel up to it-"

"-No. I want to go. It'll be exciting and I'll get to meet everyone at once." Kirsten nodded and smiled. "Good. Then we'll have to get you a dress." Georgia grinned. That sounds like a plan. Shopping in the USA with the great exchange rate will save her a lot of money. "Oh!" She pointed to a large pink hard suitcase. "That's my bag."

The gentleman in front politely asked her "this one?" "Aye." Georgia answered before he reached out and lifted it onto the floor for her. Georgia smiled gratefully. "Thank you." Kristen smiled at her. "I do love your accent by the way."

"O shut up!" Georgia practically shouted when she walked into the Cohen house. "You-do-not live here!" She couldn't stop smiling even though her jaw had dropped she was so amazed she would actually be staying here. Kirsten laughed. Sandy reacted in almost the exact same way when he saw this place. Georgia wheeled her bag into the side of the hallway of the door. "Can I go look around?" She beamed.

Kirsten nodded laughing as she watched her run from room to room with a "Wow!" at what ever she saw. Fridge with ice dispenser, huge kitchen fitted with island, 12 seated dining table. She ran across going in direction of Kirsten and Sandy's bedroom, which Kirsten assured her it was ok for her to go in.

As she ran in Sandy came through the front door with the boys. Sandy kissed Kirsten on the cheek. "Is she here yet?" Seth asked.

"WOAH! A pool!" echoed from outside. Kirsten smiled. "She's here."

"Cheesy peeps! Check out this view! " They all laughed and went outside after her.

Georgia heard footsteps but only expected Kirsten to be there. When she turned around and saw Sandy and the boys she smiled. This was a family she definatly wanted to be apart of. She was stuck for words. She smiled softly. "Hi" She said quietly.

Seth was first to react. His usual brassy and friendly self said 'hi' then embraced her in a tight hug. Georgia was caught off guard at first but soon hugged him back as tightly as he gripped her. Kirsten and Sandy exchanged a smile.

Georgia then turned to Ryan. Ryan awkwardly walked over to her and hugged her loosely unsure of how to act; treat her as a friend? Or would she be his sister as well? But when she hugged him back tightly he increased his grip on her as well. Now Kirsten, Sandy and Seth exchanged an impressed smile.

Before going into a hug from Sandy Georgia stood in front of the boys. "Let me guess." She pointed at Seth "Seth" she turned to Ryan "and Ryan." The boys gave her a 'how did you know?' look.

Georgia smiled. "I was told Seth was colourful and Ryan was broody and well, he" she points to Ryan "Is wearing a wife beater and you" She faces Seth "Are wearing a 'hug me' t–shirt."

Sandy smirked. "She's got wit and good instincts. They count as a sixth sense. You are a true Cohen." He stepped forward to her. "O yeah what's yours?" Georgia asked cheekily. "My charm." Kirsten smirked and bit her lip.

Sandy embraced Georgia in a tight hug. "It's good to see you kid." Georgia hugged him back. "It's good to see you too Sandy." Sandy was surprised. It was the first time she hadn't called him 'Mr Cohen'. He turned to Kirsten and mouthed 'Sandy! I'm Sandy!'

"Boys why don't you help Georgia get settled in while your father and I…Wait. No work. Everything's done for the party. All 5 heads are here. Sandy…what are we going to do?" Free time is something Kirsten did not experience a lot. When it came around she couldn't think what to do with is.

"I could think of a few things." Sandy mumbled. Georgia giggled. It was the first time she'd ever seen such a happy married couple still so in love, and happy to show that in front of their kids. She thought it was very sweet.

"Ok guys newbie kid, right here." Seth said pushing Georgia away. With Ryan following.

Inside Georgia went to get her luggage. "Oh don't worry. My dad uh our dad, I guess, will get that." Georgia smiled a little awkward but felt ok with it. "O wow you play guitar?" Seth asked when he saw her guitar case.

"Uh yeah. I do. I didn't bring my acoustic though. Was too big to carry. You got a guitar?"

"Yeah, I do." Seth answered.

"O cool. You play a lot?"

Seth paused and stammered. "I have a guitar."

"Well if you want, I could teach you some stuff." Georgia said picking up her guitar. "You too Ryan." Ryan hesitated. "It's ok. It's never too late to learn. I'll turn you into the master." She started to walk up the stairs. "You guys are going to be the next Hendrix." She frowned. "Hendrix-es."

---- --

In Seth's room, Georgia pulled her electric guitar out its case as Ryan plugged in her amp. Seth's face lit up.

"OMG! You have a Gibson SG!"

"Didn't Jack Black have that in School of Rock?" Ryan asked, also impressed.

"Yes! How did you afford this?" asked Seth.

Georgia laughed. "A lot a lot of paper rounds."

"Well go on show us something." Ryan said. Georgia put her guitar on. Immediately she started to play 'Sweet Child of Mine' about 3 times as fast as Guns n Roses could. Then anything that came to mind 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', Iron Maiden, SOAD, Blink 182, Green day. You name it she could play it. After 25 minutes of Seth challenging her to play any random song his mind was empty. Literally she could play whatever he asked. "Well I'm out. You are amazing. There's no way I could be as good as you."

Georgia smiled encouragingly "All you need is practice. That's what I've been doing these last 7 months."

"7 months?" Ryan questioned in disbelief.

"Yeah. I bought this in March." Seth's jaw dropped. Ryan sniggered. A girl had bet him at something that didn't involve physical violence. Sandy knocked on Seth's door before entering.

"Excuse me, I'm going to have to steal this exquisite young lady away from you." He said taking Georgia out by the arm gently. He guided her to her room so she could get ready for the party.

"Pff. More like the weaker sex." Seth said after the door was shut.
