Author's Note: A ha! Here's the next chapter. I finally grabbed half an hour to type it out before anyone could try and drag me from my house again. Now that exams are over I should be able to get more posted faster. ;)


Kevin stood in the master bedroom, watching Sara and Greg though the window. He knew it was insane but he just had to know what the two were thinking. Concentrating strictly on his brother-in-law, Kevin managed to get into Greg's mind. The younger man, who was raking leaves and laughing playfully, did indeed have some interesting things going on in his head.

'Oh my God, this is unreal! I have to be dreaming! Sara Sidle, the woman I've been in love with since the minute I set eyes on her, is here. With me, and my family. Wow. And, oh God, she was on top of me! For God's sake I could have kissed her when she fell forwards. She's so beautiful, and she seems happy here. Why didn't I kiss her? That's a stupid question, you didn't want to scare her away! alright, that's true. Still, I kinda wish I had.' Greg was saying mentally as he continued raking, stealing glances at Sara every so often.

Kevin laughed to himself before switching his concentration to Sara. Her thoughts, unlike Greg's, were more frantic and scattered.

'Oh God! What's wrong with me? This, all of this, feels too right. Being with Greg and his family…it's surreal. My God am I…NO! I can't think that! It's too weird. Oh damnit, we almost kissed! Why didn't you? I don't know… Did you want to kiss him? Oh God yes, more than anything! But how could all this happen with work? Would it even be possible? Yes Urg, this is going to take some time to figure out…' Sara thought as she put some leaved into a garbage bag. Kevin let out a full blown chuckle then, finding the woman's mental torment slightly amusing.

"Read some thoughts that you liked there Kev?" Mary asked, coming up behind him and looking out the window at the younger couple.

"Yep. Mare, we're gonna have to come up with a plan for those two, they're perfect for each other." Kevin answered. Mary smiled up at him, her hazel eyes catching the diminishing sunlight.

"So, what's the plan?"


"Kids! Time for dinner!" That means you as well Greg, you too Sara!" Mary called from the kitchen. Michelle, Cody and Clara raced in within thirty seconds, followed closely by Greg and Sara. Mary raised an eyebrow at her younger brother. "My, don't we have an interesting aura right now." She smirked. Greg smiled back at her.

'Umm, yeah! Hello? Mary, the woman I'm in love with is here with me, I could not be happier. That and she was on top of me a while ago!' He thought, causing Kevin, who was in the other room, to laugh loudly. Greg suddenly looked panicked, realizing that Kevin was probably reading his thoughts. "Ahh! Mare! Sometimes I hate you and Kev! Especially when you start using all your crazy gifts on me! And Kevin, STOP READING MY THOUGHTS!" Greg yelled playfully as Michelle ran back into the kitchen. Greg picked her up and grinned. "Where do you think you're going young lady? Get back in there!" he said. Michelle giggled and ran into the dining room once her uncle put her down. Sara beamed; she was amazed at how Greg acted with his nieces and nephew.

'He's going to make a great father one day. Yeah, and you want it to be of your children! WHAT? Who said that I do? You Shut up. Now.' Sara mentally wrestled with herself again, a confused and slightly stressed expression appearing on her face, mainly because she didn't want Kevin to know what she was thinking. Mary smiled at them both.

"Hope you like vegetable lasagne," Mary said, taking the pasta dish out of the oven and carrying it into the dining room, Sara and Greg at her heels. Mary put the pasta on the table before placing herself in the chair between Kevin and her father, a soft smile playing on her lips. Sara sat beside Kevin, who was on her left, and Greg, who was on her right. "Cody, will you say grace please?" Mary asked, looking at her seven year old, blonde haired, blue-eyed son who sat beside his grandmother.

"Okay!" Cody responded. He made the sign of the cross and then began speaking. "Dear God, thank you for this food that mommy made for us. Please bless all the people that have less than us and please let them have food for turkey day. And please let Uncle Greg marry Miss Sara 'cause Michelle, Clara and me want a new auntie and we really like her. Amen." Cody finished before making the cross again and picking up his glass of milk. Kevin glanced over at Sara, who had turned six different shades of red. Greg had also begun to blush, but instead of trying to hide it like Sara, he was concentrating extremely hard on the piece of bread on his plate.

'Mm, I do believe that Cody's little speech shocked them. Remind me to buy him that video game he's been wanting please Kev.' Mary mentally said to Kevin. He nodded slightly, showing recognition to what she had said. Mary moved her eyes then, trying to tell Kevin to see what Greg and Sara were thinking. Luckily for her, he easily got the message.

'Oh my God! What is Cody trying to get at here? Now Sara's probably going to want to get away from me as fast as possible.' Greg grimaced.

'Oh God, what are these kids trying to do to me? They're making me want to stay here with Greg even more. For how long? I dunno… Forever? Yeah. But I can't! Yes you can! Come on Sara! Admit it! You're falling into the beautiful oblivion of that four letter word that starts with an 'L' Ah! That's it! I'm concentrating on my food, and nothing but my food until I can sort all these feelings out a bit more.' Sara fought with herself, trying to figure out what was causing her emotions.

Kevin couldn't help but laugh a little, receiving a knowing look from Helen across the table which caused Mary to grin. When Abby arrived on Sunday she knew the real fun and plotting would begin. Abby, the youngest of the four Sanders children, was always the most conniving when it came to match making. Even now, at 27, she was still the life of the party, or in anyone else's eyes, the trouble maker. Mary would be considered the peace keeper in most situations (save for when she originally tried to get her father to accept her engagement to Kevin, or other little spats with her parents, usually concerning her siblings), Andrew was the parent pleaser, and Greg was the intelligent, yet independent thinking one. Mary smiled, she loved these family events.


A/N: Okay, so there it was. Don't worry, lots more to come yet. Next chap should contain more interesting things. here's a little preview:

"Umm, I just wanted to say thank you, for everything. I'm really glad I came out here," Sara said, blushing slightly as she looked down at her feet.

"I'm glad you did too Sar. Goodnight," Greg responded.

"Goodnight." Sara practically whispered. She watched Greg leave the room, closing the door behind himself. Once she heard his door shut she sat down on the matress. 'Oh my God, what the hell is wrong with me? I wanted...'

Alrighty, there's your preview. Reviews will be rewarded with hugs and cupcakes. And trust me, and my friends on this one, I can bake a mean cupcake. ;)
