Chapter Eighteen
Soft music played in the background of the dimly lit room that was only lit by the flickering flames of the log fire that burnt undisturbed in the fireplace.
A muffled moan came from the direction of the sofa, which was followed quickly by a shushing noise and then the quite sound of kisses raining down on skin.
The squeak from the direction of the stairs went unnoticed by the couple on the sofa until suddenly the lights were flicked on and an annoyed voice flooded the room.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" Ben, formally known as Ben bellowed at seeing David and a young girl of sixteen that he had been dating for the last two months scramble for items of clothing that had been discarded in their hast to remove them.
"Dad, this isn't what it looks like." David put on his most innocent voice but the look in Ben's eyes clearly showed that it wasn't working.
"Funny, it clearly looked like two completely naked sixteen year olds were getting up to something they shouldn't be!"
"I can explain!"
"I'm sure you can try! But for now get to bed while I call Jodie's Dad to come pick her up."
"Oh come on Dad you said she could stay."
"That was before the two of you started your explorations of each other. Now bed before I change my mind about only grounding you for a month and decide to go for a year instead." Ben said refusing to change his mind on the whole thing.
"God you are so unfair!" David stormed past Ben and upstairs slamming his bedroom door.
A red faced Jodie in front of him clinging desperately onto the few sparse items of clothing she had managed to pick up looked on not sure what to do. "Please don't tell my Dad!" She pleaded knowing it was no good.
"Go get dressed while I call your Dad." Ben said flatly as he turned and left her standing there and headed towards the kitchen.
On reaching the kitchen he found a grinning Saxton huddled over the kitchen table a hand over her mouth in an attempt to muffle her laughter.
"And what do you find so amusing?" Ben asked a small smile gracing his own face.
"Oh the fact that your lecturing David about having sex at the age of sixteen; yet you would have more then likely done the same."
"That's not the point it was a completely different time and plus, I never got caught doing anything I shouldn't have been doing."
"Oh well that makes all the difference." Saxton smirked and came over to Ben and pulled him into her arms. "So then does this mean I'm in for some stories of adventures of the five thousand year old man?"
"Oh I don't know. If I'd told you I'd have to shot you."
"Oh I think I'd live. Go put the coffee on, I'll call Jodie's Dad and say she's not feeling well."
"Ok." Ben kissed her once again and then pulled away and went towards the coffee maker while Saxton headed towards the phone, which was attached the wall near the kitchen door.
She had just put the phone down when Jodie gingerly entered the kitchen now fully dressed, although her face was still the brightest shade of crimson either Ben or Saxton had seen in a long time.
"We've told your dad that you're not feeling well Jodie; what you decide to tell his is up to you." Saxton tried to reassure her as all of them took a seat at the kitchen table. Ben and Saxton had a cup of coffee in front of them while Jodie decided on a glass of pop.
"I'm sorry about earlier, Mr Parmer." Jodie spoke not taking her eyes off her hands.
"Just don't let me catch the two of you at it again, otherwise I will tell your Dad and I've got a feeling that if that happened, he would stop you seeing David all together."
"Yes, sir"
They sat in silence for the half an hour it took Jodie's Dad to arrive then Jodie was ushered away with her slightly suspicious Father.
Once the house was quiet once again, Saxton and Ben retreated back to bed where they couldn't hold back the laughter that they had been holding in since Ben first heard David and Jodie.
The next morning Ben was the first to wake up as usual. Because of the events of the night before it wasn't as early as he usually awake and he knew Saxton and David wouldn't far behind him waking up, so he decided to start making breakfast.
Saxton was the next one down and she quickly busied herself making the highly needed coffee, in an attempt to wake herself up. The kitchen soon filled with the scent of bacon cooking and the rich aroma of coffee.
When David finally made it down he refused to speak, not even to Saxton who had nothing to do with the events from the night before. He silently sat eating his toast, bacon and scrambled eggs while his parents continued with their own conversation.
Ben and Saxton tensed slightly as they felt the approach of another immortal but as they thought David didn't know about immortals, they didn't indicate someone was coming. Ben stealthy reached for his coat, which was un-ceremonially thrown over the back of his chair feeling inside the folds for his Ivanhoe.
Ben and Saxton found that after their initial meeting with David he didn't seem to possess any knowledge of immortals so playing it safe they never mentioned immortals to or around David.
There was a gentle knock on the back door and Saxton let out a slight breath she didn't realise she was holding knowing that it was more then likely a friendly immortal as an enemy would not have taken the time to knock.
"I'll get it!" Ben said getting up from his seat taking his coat with him at which David raised an eyebrow.
Pulling the door open Ben was relieved to be face to face with Samantha.
"Hey Ben!" Samantha smiled and then casually walked past him and into the kitchen taking a seat beside Saxton and helping herself to the food in the centre without asking.
"I'm fine thank you Samantha, great to see you. No it's not like we see you every day or anything. Help yourself to the food while you're at it." Ben sarcastically stated at Samantha's usual antics.
"Get over it Ben." Samantha shot back at him through her mouthful of food. Once the food was safely in her mouth, Samantha started to look around at the others and noticed Saxton unlike normal, had a smile on her face, while David who usually had a smile on his face looked more annoyed then happy this morning. "What's going on?"
"What do you mean?" Saxton asked not catching on to what Samantha was talking about.
"With David. He's acting like he's been grounded for the next ten years."
"No not ten years, just a month." Ben said then started chomping on a slice of bacon.
"You've grounded him for a month? What for?"
"Lets just said he got caught in a compromising position!" Saxton smirked although she was trying to keep a straight face.
"Oh no. David, please tell me you didn't get caught. What have I told you? Do whatever you want just don't get caught." Samantha said shaking her head in denial while trying to keep a straight face.
At that Ben gave Samantha a stern look. "So that's where all David's rebellious attitude has come from?"
"Oh come off it Ben how much crap have you got up to got away with over the years?"
"That's not the point at least I was able to avoid getting caught. To be honest I only think I've ever been caught once doing something I shouldn't have." Ben replied as innocently as he could.
David looked up at that and rose from his seat looking at his father with a steaming look on his face. "You used to do it all the time and yet you still ground me over it?"
"Sit down David and act your age for once." Ben waited until David was once again sitting down then continued. "One, I never said I didn't get into as much crap as you, hell I got up to a lot more then you. What I did say is that I never got caught. Two, I am your father and it is up to me to set rules, I choose what you can and cannot do while your still living under my roof. The rules I put down are there for your overall benefit. You may not be able to see that at the moment but it is. Like last night you were caught having sex with a sixteen year old girl, what would you have done if she came back to you in a few months time saying she was pregnant?"
"I would of turn round and told her the truth that I can't have kids, that she better go back to the looser she'd been fucking behind my back!" David didn't back down and looked Ben dead in the eyes.
"Oh and what may I ask gives you the impression that you can't have kids?"
"Oh… I don't know. It's a fact that immortals can't have kids even before they turn immortal. And the fact that me being destined to become immortal, I can't have kids."
The two female immortals looked up from their breakfast at that and joined Ben in looked dumbly at David.
"How do you know about immortals?"
"You're kidding right? I've known about them since before meeting you remember. I know that your real name Dad is Methos, and I know that Mum has been immortal only if not less sixteen years. I know Samantha has been immortal for a while, but no where as long as you."
"If you knew about immortals, why didn't you say anything?" Saxton couldn't help but ask, as she was the first one to recover from the shock.
"Well seen as though you never talked about things like that in front of me, I just assumed you didn't think I was old enough to discuss it."
"How much do you actually remember?"
"All of it, at first I just got the flashes and thought I was imagining it all, then I met you and Dad. I realised then that it wasn't just me making it up. The reason I clung to you when Conner came to the loft that morning was because I remember what he did to me, well Duncan. Then I remember Hestia and all that she did, put my soul in this body and so on. Once Hestia realised what was happening, she paid me a visit about a year ago and made sure that I understand all that had happened. Plus I did tell one person, I told Joe when he was alive. We used to talk about old times when he used to be my watcher."
The Group couldn't do anything but stare in shock at David because of what he had just said.
