Sean says, "Anyway it's nice to meet you Clelia."

He smiles at Clelia his charming smile and offers his hand; she takes it and shakes his hand feeling the warmth and strength from his strong muscular hand. She looks into his brown eyes to see he is lovingly looking in her eyes. They pull away hands and he does so slowly like his hand wants to stay holding her hers forever.

She thinks holding her nose with the hankie, "Maybe he likes me, but how am I to know what a guy looks at a woman like when he loves her?"

Clelia being twenty-four looking thirty-five, has had a hard life that's why she looks older then her age. Still she's good looking and Sean can't keep his eyes off her.

Snake-eyes embraces his best friend Thomas, they haven't seen each other for months Shana told Celia. Thomas has been having his own adventures traveling the world. He was in Moscow, Russia recently. He sent Snake-eyes and Shana an email while he was there.

It's a cold winter; snow is thick on the ground. Clelia loves seeing the snow; she hasn't seen so much snow since she went skiing when she was in year ten. Don't get much snow in Australia, plus it snows in a lot more places in America.

The air blows wind on her, chilling her. She shivers even in her big winter jacket, Shana smiles down at her and says, "Lets go in inside and warm up Clelia." She looks at Thomas. "We'll tell you all about it inside."

Snake-eyes, Thomas and Shana take the lead walking to the front door. The door swings outwards when Shana opens it, leading into the hallway. She gestures to a door on the far right and says, "You boys know where to put your bags, in the mediation room. I've got a mat out for you, a blanket and a pillow. I'll get yours later, after we talk Thomas."

Thomas nods and sees Snake-eyes sign to him, Thomas says, "I'm glad you're happy with my surprise visit Snake-eyes. I wouldn't want to put you out."

Shana opens the sliding door to the left and Snake-eyes goes in Thomas goes down to the mediation room. He chucks his bag in the room. Thomas is Japanese American; he looks in his early fifties. He looks healthy for his age; he is good looking, with black hair and black eyes. He is muscular and fit looking, wearing jeans, a shirt and black boots.

Sean grabs Clelia's right hand and says, "Here let me help you up. Are you alright?"

Clelia lets him help her up and says, "Yes, we were just sparing. We were using pads earlier today, but Shana thought we should try with out them."

Shana's head poked out the door holding a tray with a Japanese tea pot and cups, plus some biscuits on a small plate. Shana says, "Don't worry we'll go back on the pads tomorrow. You can't just learn by hitting some pads though, right Sean?"

Sean said, "Right, Shana." Sean gave Clelia a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry many Joes have trouble betting Shana in a sparring session. I wouldn't feel bad about it."

Clelia smiled at him, feeling a warm shiver gone down her body at his touch. They followed the others into the dinning room, to the left. Sean then left to put his bag away, giving Clelia a charming smile as he went out. Kneeling down at the Japanese table she felt her heart quicken a beat, she looked at the others at the table. They are smiling at her, she blushed and looked down.

Thomas let Dojo rub his leg and the wolf unlike her three pups sleeping by the fire snuggled up to him, Thomas patted her head on his lap and said, "Nice to meet you Dojo. I heard about you, your offspring Botolf looks just like his father Timber."

Sean comes back in and flashes a grin to all around, Clelia see's Snake-eyes start the fire and a whoosh of cold air comes in from the hallway as Sean closes the door. Making the fire flare up, Snake-eyes puts his hands near the fire and warms himself up. Sean sits right next to Clelia, in his jeans and shirt, plus bare feet. Like everyone else he's taken his shoes off, Clelia suddenly realizes she forgot and takes off her shoes and socks. Putting them by the door, she sits down again and sees her father and their others hold their noses.

Clelia nose has stopped bleeding; she gets up and says, "Sorry."

She leaves the room and goes into Sean usual room, which she's using for the time being. Clelia puts some foot odor powder on her feet, from her backpack. When she

goes back into the room they are having tea and Shana and Snake-eyes are telling them the long story about how Clelia's being a hidden pregnancy that no one but Shana and her mother knew about, how she gave her up for adoption. Then how Clelia found them and met them recently. Snake-eyes signing of course, they smile at Clelia coming in. She smiles back; Sean listens intently with Thomas to the story of Clelia.

Clelia sits down and his handed a tea by Shana, she sits and sips it.

She sits there daydreaming and feels the nudge of Dojo's nose on her hand, she gives her a friendly pat. Dojo licks her on her hand and then tries to jump on her. Still Clelia stops her and says, "No, my tea. You don't want me to spill it on you."

Dojo sits back down and puts her head on my lap, looking at Clelia with those adorable eyes. Clelia says, "Oh, aren't you adorable."

Clelia gives Dojo a pat and Dojo gives Clelia a kiss on the face, "Oooh Dojo."

Shana has finished the story about Clelia, so she says, "Looks like Dojo really likes you Clelia. You've made yourself a friend in Dojo."

Clelia smiles at Shana and giggles, Dojo looks at her with those adorable eyes, she then barks at her as if she saying she wants some tea. Clelia says, "You can't have tea, you're a dog."

Dojo puts her paw on Clelia and Clelia gently massages Dojo's head and then says, "Oh, you're such a cute dog aren't you."

Clelia then gives Dojo a kiss on the head and then she goes back to her tea.

Snake-eyes signs and Shana says, "Snake-eyes says it's good you get along with Dojo, which means you surely get along with Botolf. Who's going to be yours one day, when your mother and I leave this earth."

Clelia looks happy surprised that fact that she'll be given Botolf, she asks, "Really?"

Thomas nods and then says, "Of course. Since you are his own living relative and his only child. You'll get the cabin as well."

Clelia looks at Shana and Snake-eyes questionly and asks, "Is this true?"

Shana and Snake-eyes nod, Shana says, "We have both changed our will to put you in it recently."

Clelia says, "Thanks, not that I hope either of you will be dying soon."

The others laugh, Shana says, "Of course not, plus I want to see you when you get married and have my grandchildren."

Clelia asks, "You do, that's great."

Shana comes over and gives her a hug, plus a kiss on her forehead. Clelia hugs her back feeling the warmth of her mothers love.

Shana says, "Of course I do. I'm so glad I can be part of your life now Clelia. Snake-eyes is glad as well."

Shana releases her from the hug and gives her a kiss on the forehead, then she goes out of the room saying, "I'll go make dinner now."

Snake-eyes comes over and gives Clelia a hug and a kiss on the forehead, Clelia feels tears come to her eyes. She thinks, "First the first time in my life I finally have a father."

A tear drops down her cheek, Snake-eyes kisses her on the cheek where the tear dropped down on her face. Snake-eyes then wipes away another tear that falls down her cheek and he cups her face in his hands and looks in her eyes. Clelia looks at him with the tears streaked on her cheek, Snake-eyes then signs and Thomas says, "Obviously you don't understand sign language. So I'll tell you what he says, Snake-eyes says you got to understand he loves you and always will. No one else could be my daughter, I'd love to come to your wedding, give you away to a man worthy of you and see my grandchildren. Clelia do you get it, I'll always love you a daughter?"

Clelia nods at Snake-eyes a few more tears falling down, from her being so moved by what he told her. Snake-eyes grips her in another hug, then he kisses her on the forehead again. Snake-eyes then goes and sits in his seat and starts up a conversation at least on his side with sign language with Thomas and Sean.

Clelia grabs a biscuit and eats it, while having her tea.

Snake-eyes grabs a biscuit as well, then Thomas and Sean. Sean offers Celia another buttermilk biscuit, Cleia says, "Yes, thanks."

Sean plunks it on her small plate with a spoon, Clelia eats her buttermilk biscuit with a small spoon.

The room is warm now with the fire on, so she takes off her winter jacket.

Sean smiles at her and Celia gets up and takes her winter jacket to her room, she opens the sliding door and goes into her room. Sean comes to the door and Clelia sees him in the corner of her eye, she chucks the jacket on the top of her backpacker bag.

Then she turns around and Sean asks, "Can I come in?"

Clelia says, "Yes."

Sean comes in and sits on her bed and looks at her patting the bed, he says, "Come sit next to me."

Celia looks at him curiously then sits next to him, on the right side of him.

He asks, "Do you like martial arts?"

Celia looks at him and says, "Yes, I'm doing that with Shana to learn to defend myself better. I also know a bit of kick boxing from my brother."

Sean asks surprised, "You have a brother?"

Clelia nods at him, she says, "I have a adoptive family, five siblings. They don't care about me that much though."

Sean asks, "So you've got your adoptive parents then?"

Clelia says, "No, I don't see either of them and they've never been parents to me."

Sean hugs her and says, "I'm sorry for that Clelia."

She feels nice in his arms, she looks at his face and he smiles down into her blue eyes with his brown ones. Sean leans in and kisses her, she feels his tongue in her mouth and she puts her tongue in around his tantalizing him with her tongue. They passionately kiss for five minutes, embracing one another. When they separate Clelia looks up at him questionly, he strokes her cheek with his finger. Sean then kisses her on the cheek and says, "Yes. Clelia I like you, a lot. Isn't that obvious from the way I looked at you when I first saw you."

Clelia holds his hand against her cheek, feeling the muscular hand that belongs to such a handsome bloke. Clelia says, "I didn't know, I've never really had a guy like me before."

Sean gave her a kiss on the cheek and then he curled his finger around one of her fingers, he then lets go and holds her hand in his. Sean pulls Clelia in for a kiss and their lips touch, he pulls her in tightly holding her body close to his body. Clelia feels her breasts firmly pressed against his strong six pack chest, she thinks to herself, "Not surprising he has such a body like this. When he's in the North American army just like my mother and father are."

Their kiss grows passionate and she feels him pull away after a few moments and kiss her neck. Making Clelia giggle, Sean smiles at her and says, "I knew I could make you laugh Clelia."

Sean looked in her eyes and held both her hands in his and asked, "Will you be my girlfriend Clelia?"

Clelia tilted her head to the side and look to the side; she could see Sean look surprised and disappointed from the corner of her eye. Clelia then kissed him quickly on the lips and looked into his eyes smiling a cheeky grin and said, "Yes."

Sean kissed her on the lips and says, "Look likes you can be cheeky too, that's good because I also a bit of a cheeky person."

Clelia grins at him and tilting her head to the side and then she quickly pinches him on his side.

Sean says, "Hey!"

Sean then starts tickling her and she laughs cracking up, she can't stop laughing even when he's stopped. Clelia falls is crying she's laughing so hard, Sean starts to do impersonations and she says in between laughter, "No stop."

He starts trying to write on her with one of his pens on his desk, she pushes him away and the pen from her face.

While he says in a funny voice, "Come on let me draw a moustache on your face. Maybe some horns. Like that lady on my magazine over there."

Clelia looks at the magazine he is pointing at on his wooden chest, with a picture of a half naked woman with horns and a moustache on her.

Clelia shakes her head and pushing away his pen, from her face holding it in her hand so he can't get to her with it.

Sean holds her down on the bed and kisses her passionately, she releases the pen at the same time he does. They kiss for a few minutes just involved in each other and their own world together. Sean then hugs her gently, then pulls away and says, "We'll better get back to the others, before they wonder where we are."

Clelia sighs having to separate from someone she's already beginning to care about in a special way and Sean laughs, then says, "Don't worry we'll find time for this later."

Clelia smiled at him and went with him back into the dinning room, his hand in hers. When she sat down next to him holding his hand, Snake-eyes smiled at Clelia and Sean nodding his approval.

Shana came in and said, "Clelia can you come help me with the dinner? I'm making spaghetti bolnegese."

Clelia said, "Yes, I'd love to spaghetti bolnegese is my favorite."

Shana said, "Yeah, well that wouldn't surprise me I used have cravings of spaghetti bolnegnese when I was pregnant with you. I used to sneak in the army kitchen and eat the army cook Marvin's bolnegnese."

Snake-eyes signs and Shana says, "You knew about that Snake-eyes, but you didn't know why. Well now you do." She goes over to him and they share a passionate kiss.

He swings her down and kisses Shana holding her in his arms, Clelia looks at them surprised. Still amazed by their show of love together, but she looks away a bit nervous.

Then Snake-eyes pulls Shana up to standing position again and Shana pretends a swoon. Shana smiles at Snake-eyes then she goes over to Clelia and links arms with her and they both go into the kitchen, in the room across the hall.

In the kitchen Shana has already made the sauce and put the pasta in the bowl, there are some cookies on a plate here to that Shana must have been eating. Shana asks, "Would you like to put the bowls out on the table?"

Clelia asks, "Do you want me to take the tea out first?"

Shana shakes her head, so Clelia goes out with the bowls and sets them in front of everyone's places in the dinning room.

After Clelia's sets up, Shana smiles and says, "Good job."

Clelia smiles at her and says, "Thanks."

Shana sets up the dinner and they both sit down to eat with everyone else.

Thomas looks at Shana and says, "It looks great Shana." Then he looks at Clelia and says, "You look a lot like your mother Clelia."

Clelia swallows her mouthful of spaghetti and says, "Thanks."

Sean swallowed a few forkfuls and said, "Do you like Marilyn Manson music?"

Clelia says, "Yes, do you?"

Sean says, "Yes, I like to have it up loud in my apartment sometimes. I've gotten in trouble a few times for having it up too loud."

Clelia smirks at him and says, "Yeah, I've gotten in trouble for having my music up loud when I had neighbors that were close. Now I'm in a farm house I don't have a problem."

Sean says, "Well I'd love to visit you in your farm house if you'll have me, I love farm houses. My family had one in California, in my childhood and I loved it. Well moved around a lot when I was little, but I do remember the farm as a great place to ride the horse we had and to run around. I loved all the space and so did my sisters. Do you have lots of space on your property?"

"Yes, there are mountains, trees and well lots of space of course."

Sean smiles and says, "That's great do you have a lot of acres and how much by the way?"

Clelia says, "Its seventy-nine plus acres."

Sean smiles and says, "That's great that's a lot of acres, do you raise horses there?"

Clelia says, "No, but I would love to build a stable and own a horse one day."

Shana asked through a mouthful of spaghetti, "Why don't you?"

Clelia said, "Well, I can't afford it yet."

Shana said, "Well, I'm just wondering how you can afford a house on a nanny salary?"

Clelia said, "Saving up."

The wolf pup Zara howled and Shana patted her and asked, "What's Zara?"

Zara just looked at the door and a guy William Clelia has also seen in the photo album and told who he is. Comes in puffing, his long brown hair and eye patch making him look roguish.

William Cobra Commanders son says, "There's a fire! At the ridge of this hill! We should call up the fire brigade and see if we can stop it from going to this cabin before they get here."
