Erskine walked out of his room and down the stairs. His mum was sitting in kitchen while his dad was cooking breakfast. He sat next to his mother.
"Morning" His dad said over the sizzling of the bacon.
"Morning hunny" His mum kissed him on the cheek
"Morning are you okay mum you look a bit white?"
"I'm fine just morning sickness"
"Oh do you know if it's a girl or boy yet?"
"No, son, it's too soon to tell" Alex, his father, said. He turned around and put two plates of food down in front of Erskine and Summer, his mother. Erskine had beans, bacon and egg while Summer only had an egg and bread.
"Oh what are you going to call it?"
Alex lent against the counter and ate his breakfast. "If it's a boy were going to call it Austin"
Summer carried on "And if it's a girl were going to call it Leah"
"Nice"
"Mr Matthew and I had a talk yesterday"
"Oh"
"Yeah he said he's going to say sorry to Harriet"
"Yeah, she was proper upset"
"He's just an idiot. I don't want you in any fights, Erskine. And keep Skulduggery and Ghastly out of trouble when your away please" Erskine laughed
"I'll try dad" He put his plate in the sink "I got to go pack" He walked upstairs.
Harriet opened Ghastly's door.
"GHASTLY! MUM SAYS TO GET UP!"
"Fuck off Harriet!" He threw his pillow at her face. He sat up as she walked away. Running his fingers through his hair, he looked at the clock. 11:48. He groaned and got up. Out of the wardrobe, Ghastly got a blue jumper out and pulled in over his head. Raven walked past the door .
"Come on hunny your dad is taking you to the airport at 3" He bent down and picked out some skinny jeans from the draw. He slid them on and walked into the kitchen. On the table waisting for him was a plate of pancakes. Adrian was siting on a stool, drawing on his note pad at the counter.
"Morning, dad" His father looked up
"Morning" Ghastly opened the draw qnd picked up a fork. Harriet walked in to the room.
"Dad"
"Yes Harriet?"
"What is the weather like in England?"
"Warm but some days it will be raining"
"Okay thanks love you daddy" She kissed him on the cheek. In the middle of a pancake, Ghastly started to imitate his sister's last sentence.
"Shut up Ghastly!" She stood opposite her older brother "Idiot"
"At least i'm not a goody two shoes!"
"At least dad loves me!" Their father between them before it got out of hand.
"I love you both the same" He glanced towards the door way."But I love her the most" He walked towards the wonderful woman leaning on the door frame. She slid her arms around his neck and kissed him. Raven loved his kisses they were always so gentle and full of love.
"Ewwww!" Harriet shouted
"Get a room!" Ghastly placed his plate in the sink and moved towards the married the couple.
"I need to pack so if you guys have finished burning my eyes with your lovey dovey emotion display, can I get passed please?" They laughed as they out way.
3 o'clock..
"SKULDUGGERY! KARMIN! ADRIAN IS HERE!" Skulduggery walked down the stairs, a bag over his shoulder. Karmin had a suit case pulled behind her. Mr Pleasant hugged his oldest daughter.
"How long you going for? A year?" Karmin laughed.
"I love you"
"I love you too hunny"
Skulduggery hugged his mother.
"Bye"
"Bye darling" She walked to the bottom of the stairs. "Perrie!"
"Yeah!?"
"Your brother and sister are going!" The eight year old girl trotted down the steps
"At last" She hugged her siblings.
"Come on Karmin, they're going to leave without us if we don't go now!"
"Yeah I'm coming" They got in the car.
Skulduggery fist bumped Ghastly while Harriet hugged Karmin. All the kids were sat in the back of the van.
Ravel Household...
"I'm off!"
"Okay hunny have a good time!" His mum shouted back
"Bye dad!"
"Bye" Erskine walked out the door and down to the bottom of the road. Two minutes later a black van pulled up in front of him.
"Come on!" Shouted Skulduggery through the window. Erskine chuckled as he put his sports bag in the boot.
He slipped in the back seat.
Skulduggery clapped and rubbed his hand together.
"Okay boys we got two weeks at the seaside in England. Our target is to get a lovely english lady" He said it with a posh english accent "and do some business!" The boys cheered.
"Boys I know you guys are sixteen and all but please don't go and get any girls pregnant" All the guys laughed. Karmin and Harriet looked grossed out!
"That's gross!" Karmin shouted
"Yeah we didn't need to know you guys were going to do that" They both shuddered.
"So umm girls what you going to be doing while were there?" Ghastly lent forward a smirk on his face.
"We were just going to hang around just us two" Harriet answered
"So any boys?"
"NO!" They shouted in unison. The boys burst out laughing. Adrian chuckled.
"They're just messing with you girls" The girls groaned and sat back in their seats. "Come on were at the airport, have fun and be teenagers!" He hugged all the kids and watched them enter the departures lounge.
