Kisses and Angels Chapter 7

A young woman opened the door to Dukat's mothers house when Dukat had knocked on it. The woman, who had previously smiling, frowned when she saw Dukat and Kira. Dukat smiled at her warmly and said, "Hello, Ava. Can I come in?"

"Yeah sure. Would you like anything to drink?" She answered/asked.

"No, but Nerys might."

Ava reluctantly turned to Kira who was holding Marielle. "Would like something to drink?"

"No, thank you."

"She's a polite one."

"Be quite, Ava. I'm sure Skrain doesn't want you o tell him how to run his life. Or his marriage," said a new voice.

"Yes, husband."

Dukat quietly laughed at Ava and her husband. It had been a while since Skrain had seen any of his siblings and wasn't to surprised to see that Darel finally got married to Ava. Darel walked up to Dukat and hugged him. "How are you brother?" he asked.

"I am well. And you?"

"How well do think I am? I live in a house full of girls."

"What do you mean?"

"I have a wife and four daughters. Luckily, Ava is pregnant again, so maybe we will finally have a boy."

"I hope you do to. Do you want to know how to knit?"

Darel laughed at this. "You always were the funny one, Skrain."

Dukat just smiled and asked Darel to introduce him to Darel's children. Darel nodded and the two of them left Kira and Ava alone. It was Ava who broke the silence. "I don't like you," she said.

Kira looked at her. "I kind of figured that out on my own."

"I mean how old are you. I bet your same age as him, aren't you?"

"Actually, I am about twenty years younger than him."

"Well… I …. um… I still don't like you."

Kira nodded and sat down in a chair near her. Marielle was staring up at Nerys like "Why are we here if they don't like you?"

Kira smiled down at her daughter and was about to speak to Ava when there was a scream coming from another part of the house.

A/N: Don't you just love cliffhangers? I do. Ava is jelouse of Kira.
