JESS'S POV-
I finish showing my work team my family and my house. God, why did mom make me do this? Why did she invite them around?
"Sorry for everyone being here- My family is visiting." I appologize to them, for all members of my family being here. They shrug.
"It's fine, Jess. Your family is wonderful." Emily compliements. Always the victorian. Matt smiles fondly at her.
"I can't believe you grew up in such a big house!" Connor's voice was filled with amazement. I shrug, carelessly.
"It's not big," I say, modestly. Connor rolls his eyes, asperately.
"Jess, it has 6 bedrooms- most of which are of a resonable size!" He protests. I shrug, again. I don't really think it as big- probaly because I've been into homes that are more big.
I lead them back into the lounge, where now not only was dad and Kira in there, but my aunt, sisters, brothers and aunt was. Emily and Matt sits next to my aunt, while Abby and Connor sat next to my father. That left me and Becker sitting next to Kaleb. (Rose, Kira, Ella and Cody are sitting on the floor with our two dogs.)
"So, you two are engaged to be married?" Dad said to Abby and Connor. Them two nods, while looking at eachotr briefly and smiling. You could see the love between them.
"You two look like you are suited for one another." My dad adds on, compliementing them. They blush. I turn my attention to my left side- where becker is.
"So. Lester- why did he allow you to do this?" I say. Becker grins.
"Well, we made Connor go in first to ask, so Lester could yell at him, angrily. Then we entered, flattered him and then asked him." Becker explains. I raise and eyebrow.
"That worked?" I say, astonished, while laughing. BEcker laughs as well.
"Yeah. I think the fact we mentioned you helped. We all know he has a soft spot for you," Becker comments. I exhale deeply.
BECKER'S P.O.V-
Next to me, Jess exhales. She scans the room, then turns her beautiful blue eyes on to me.
"One second. I'll be back," She says, standing up. She looks at her brother, Kaleb.
"Kai, hit anyone who tries to take my space, She says, smiling sweetly at him. He nods.
"Sure thing, little Jessy," He says, affectionately. With that, Jess leaves the room.
I look at the scene, at Jess's little sister, Rose, playing with her niece Kira, next to the fireplace. At how differnt is her family is from mine.
"So, you're in the military, aren't you?" Kaleb asks me. I turn my eyes on him, taking him in.
"Yeah,"I confirm. He nods. "Jess said your the captain," He says. I can tell he is amazed. He gives the same expression as Jess does. All of Jess's siblings looks like her. They've all got their mother's eyes, and their father's hair. The males, though, has the dad's height (Tall) and the girls has the mom's. (short/average.)
"So, I'm guessing your job is important," Kaleb comments futher. I just nod. Kaleb pauses.
"what exactly do you lot do? We got a closer idea yesterday, but..." He trails off. I think of what to say for a second, before answering.
"It's confendential. If Jess didn't tell you, it means that she doesn't won't you to know all the details," I say, choosing my words carefully.
"Hey, Hon," A voice comes from in front of us, before he could question me anymore. I look to see Kaleb's wife, Lia, standing there. she sits between us, where Jess was. Kaleb kisses her briefly, then she picks up Kira, her daughter. Jess will probaly not be happy that her seat has been stolen.
"Kaleb! You told you'd hit anyone who stole my seat. No offense, Lee." Jess says, looking slightly annoyed, but mainly has an amused expression. Kaleb grins.
"I'm not gonna tell my wife to get up, Jessy." He says. She smiles, waving it off.
"Don't worry, I don't mind. Lia, you're lucky i love you," Jess says, her smile wide. She moves, and sits on the arm of the sofa by me. I look up to her.
"do you want to sit here?" I ask, volenterring my seat. She shakes her head.
"Nah, I'm fine here. Plus, my dad always says guests get seats." She tells me. I nod, and don't bother pointing out that as she doesn't live here, she, too, is a guest.
Jess's aunt gets up as her couins and uncle comes in.
"Okay, we have to go, but we'll see ya on monday, kay?" The aunt- Kerry, I think- says, and hugs all her family. she looks at us ARC members.
"Nice meeting y'all," She says, and they leave the room. I don't know if it is too say goodbye to Jess's mother or to go. Jess told me that for the week, all her reletives are going to be coming, and going- not all at once. Most all live in the area.
Later, Jess's mother comes in.
"Ellie, Rosy, come help me set the table!" she says. Them two get up, groaning. Jess grins ad mutters to me.
"One of the positive things about not living here anymore- I don't have to set the table and stuff." I half-smile back at her.
About 10 miniutes later, Rose comes back in.
"Dinner's ready," She says, and we all go to walk to the dining room. I don't know what Jess's mother has made, but it smells nice.
