" Sit by me, Aunt Jilly!" Connor and Murphy heard Lillian say when they came into Jared's house the next morning.

" I want Aunt Jilly by me!" Layla whined.

" I can sit by both of you, just like we did at dinnertime." Jillian said.

" And I thought you girls only fought over my brother and me." Connor said. Jillian looked up as she moved the chairs around. Lillian and Layla both smiled at the brothers.

" Morning Connor!" Lillian said. " Murphy, we are having your favorite cereal, Capt Crunch. Aunt Jillian can make you some." She said. Murphy smiled at the little girl.

" But if your Aunt makes me cereal then she can't sit with you girls." Murphy said with a wink to her. He smiled at Jillian as she sat down in between the girls. " Good morning." He said to her as she smiled at him. He noticed the bruise on her neck even though her hair was down.

" Good morning. Jared is in the kitchen." She said.

" So my brother tells me you used to be amish." Connor said with a grin to her. Murphy pushed him by the arm.

" Shut it, I did not." Murphy said.

" Yeah, I'm not amish." Jillian said. Murphy rolled his eyes and walked passed her to the kitchen.

" Well that's a damn shame. I could really use some homemade butter." Connor said.

" Then you better figure out how to make it." Jillian said, making him laugh before he went into the kitchen.

Murphy, Connor and Jared were leaning against the counter, each drinking a cup of coffee as they chatted lightly. They could hear Jillian and the girls talking about school and the girls were asking their aunt to drop them off in stand of their dad. Jared yelled out that would be fine and that the girls had to get ready. They heard the chairs move then heard the two little girls bounce up the stairs a second before Jillian appeared in the kitchen with two of the cereal bowls.

" So tell me, Jillian, what did you do as a job before?" Connor asked as she placed the bowls in the sink.

" I was a bartender." She said as she faced them. She leaned her back against the counter while she stood next to her brother. Murphy's eyes always went right to her neck. His eyes followed the bruise without him thinking.

" Well, we happen to have an old family friend who owns a bar and is looking for a bartender." Connor said. Jillian tilted her head slightly.

" Really?" She asked.

" Yeah, we will talk to him. Give Murph here your number then we will call you later about it." Connor said.

" Okay, that would be great." She said as Murphy took out his phone. Jillian rattled off her number and his quickly put it into his phone.

" But I want to know what kind of drinks did you make for the amish?" Connor asked with a grin. Jillian shook her head.

" I don't even know any amish people." She said.

" Get used to it, Jilly. Connor won't drop the amish thing with me for six months." Jared said as he looped his arm around his sister's shoulders.

" Oh great, something for me to look forward too." Jillian said with a slight roll of her eyes.

" Aunt Jilly?" Lillian voice came from the doorway. Jillian, Jared, and Connor looked to the little girl while Murphy's eyes stayed on Jillian. " Will you come braid my hair?" Jillian smiled and pulled away from Jared.

" Yeah, come on." She said as she walked towards the little girl. The girls disappeared out of the room.

" She's been wanting me to braid her hair but I don't know how too. Lana used to do it." Jared said. Lana was Jared's wife and the girls mother. But she had passed away 2 and half years ago from cancer. " It will be good to have Jilly here with them. She's a great aunt."

" Girls seem to love her." Murphy said.

" Daddy?" Layla's small voice said. She walked into the kitchen wearing a pair of jeans and little pink shirt.

" Ah, what's wrong with the lil lass?" Connor asked as he came forward. Both boys adored Jared's girls. He swept Layla into his arms.

" I don't want to go to school. I want to stay with Aunt Jilly and she said I have to go." Layla said.

" Honey, you know you can't stay home from school unless you are throwing up or have a fever." Jared said.

" Connor, do I have a fever?" Layla asked. Connor put his hand to her forehead then looked at Jared.

" I don't know, Jared, she feels pretty hot." He said. Murphy smiled and came to his brother as Connor dropped his hand. Murphy placed his hand on her forehead too then looked at Jared.

" Aye, the lass feels hot." He said as he let his arm drop. Layla laid her head on Connor's shoulder. Jared smiled and walked over to them.

" You guys aren't helping." Jared said. He took Layla from Connor and felt her head. " You're not warm, Honey, you are going to school. Tomorrow is Saturday and you can spend the whole day with Aunt Jilly." Layla pretended to pout which made Jared grin. " Tuck that lower lip in." He said.

" Daddy!" She explained.

" Layla!" He explained back. He kissed her cheek then put her down. " Get your back pack while I write Aunt Jilly directions to your school." Layla sighed as she walked out of the room.

" We were just trying to help you out." Connor said with a smile.

" Yeah, I could tell." Jared said with as smirk.
