Carry On

by StutterRutter

"It takes a Village to raise a child." It's been over 10 years since anyone has heard from Nina Martin. But, after she left Fabian alone with their daughter, no body really cares. They joined forces to raise her, usually, putting their our lives on the back burner. But now, Arabella Rutter is 13 and everything starts to change. And they only have one choice, to Carry On.

5. The More the Merrier

~Chapter 5~

-Arabella-

"Wills!" I run thru Aunt Willows cafe. It wasn't empty. But, it wasn't full, people just looked at me a bit and Mia flashing them a 'god, I'm sorry' look. I didn't care though. I run past the coffee bar and KT gives me a 'what the?' look... I burst thru the door with the plaques, 'Mara Jefferson and Willow Jenks. Owners'

"WILLOW!" I scream

Maras head snaps up from her papers first "what Arabella?"

"Please tell me your both to Anubis again!" I ask jumping up and down

"Yes, we are both going." Mara says "calm down Ara..."

"Please!" Mia pleads

"Yay!" I squeal

"Squee!" Willow says from her desk at the opposite end of the room

"Anyone want pie?" KT asks from the door

"KT! Are you going back to Anubis?" I ask

"Well, no duh!" KT tells me "who wants pie? You two looks exhausted..." KT points to me and Mia

"Oh, please? I haven't had anything since last night, except for my coffee..." Mia asks

"Of course." KT pulls Mia into the main cafe

"Aren't you gonna go?" Willow questions

"Oh, I'm not hungry at all. I'm too excited." I tell them

"It's just Anubis. We were there at Christmas three years ago. And you've seen everybody since then..." Mara tells me

"I know... I just..." I trail off

"You love the whole "Anubis vibe?" Kinda thing?" Willow asks

"Exactly!" I exclaim

"I can't believe Joy even had the time to organize it..." Mara laughs slightly

Joy Clarke owned "Clarke Real Estate"... Yes, Joy know sells houses for a living. But, it's actually quite harder than you might think. Joy and Jerome have a five year old daughter, Jessamine Poppy Clarke. Which, I find ironic that they can even keep up with her, considering Jerome is a Carpenter, the Clarke family is like always busy with jobs.

"Jake coming?" I ask

Jake Jefferson was Maras husband. Yes, Mara Jeffray is now Mara Jefferson. They have a three year old daughter, Mary-Jane Jefferson. Cutest thing on this earth. Jake was a lawyer but, I think he would've been a good model too. Just saying. With golden hair like that and a face like a Angel. It was like another Ryan Gossling. Thank god Mara went to Harvard instead of Oxford. Thank god.

"Yes, Jake is coming, to your pleasure." Mara jokes

"Um, he's married, to you." I put my hands up "I'll stick with Ryan Gossling."

"What's the difference?" Willow asks

"Ryan's a celebrity. Therefore, he would count as a "Celebrity Crush" Duh. At least I can get away with that." I laugh

Sometimes, I can be the wittiest person in the world.
