On the top of a hill sits a large house with many windows and large front yard. walking inside you are met by a grand staircase that branches off to both ends of the house. each hallway on the top floors are bedrooms and bathrooms with an occasional sitting room as well. on the lower floor there is a large kitchen and dinning room on the left and a sitting room and play room on the right.

sacre walked down the stairs while pulling on his black dinner jacket over a white collard shirt. when he reached the bottom of the stairs he adjusted his reflection in the mirror near by before grinning at himself. i am one hot stud... he thought as he pushed his hair off his forehead.

ooc:hey lici you think we should have Parker be part of the dinner too? cuz alec hasn't met him yet?

Parker ran down the stairs, almost running into Sacre on the way. So I actually get to meet Alec do I dad? He asked excitedly.

sacre chuckled with a nod as he ruffled parker's hair, yes sir. and i believe he might be staying here a couple days or so unless he plans to stay with claire or someone else. he added with a grin.

Parker grinned happily. Do you think I could train with him? He asked.

sacre nodded thoughtfully, yes, if your mother and him agree that its okay.

Parker grinned and ran into the kitchen where Jes was. Mum, dad said that if you say yes and Alec agrees that he can train with me. He explained, stating things rather than asking the actual question.

Jes laughed and nodded. As long as it's ok with Alec it's ok with me. She said, ruffling his hair.

sacre followed parker into the kitchen. what's cookin? he asked as he walked over to jes and kissed her cheek lightly. smells like all of alec's favorites.

That would be because they are all of alecs favourites. Jes smiled. Dont you look good tonight?

sacre grinned at her, yeah i guess i do. but then again i look pretty good every night. he chuckled softly.

Jes grinned. Yeah you do. She told him before kissing him.

Parker screwed up his nose. Gross! Get a room you two.

sacre turned from the kiss to grin at parker, you won't be thinking that when you're the one doing the kissing. just wait till your another year older or so. he chuckled.

I still won't want to see my parents kissing. That's just wrong. He explained.

fine, then i hope you enjoy seeing your brother and sister kissing their significant others. he grinned.

Thats fine, they aren't my parents. Parker explained.

sacre shrugged, understandable i guess. he grinned as he walked over to a cabinet and pulled out some plates, how about you go and set the table? he asked as he held the plates out to parker.

Parker took the plates. When are they going to get here? Be asked.

in about a half hour or so i think...river and cam will get here first and then claire and will be here after that. he said in thought before nodding to confirm himself of his own thoughts.

Parker nodded and walked out to the dining room to set the table. Jes truned to sacre and smiled. You excited? She asked him.

sacre nodded with a grin, yeah, to finally have the whole family together for once in a very long time. and the look on river's face when alec walks in... he said with a happy sigh.

Jes smiled and kissed his cheek. Now take these knives and forks out and help your son.

sacre gave a small salute as he took the silverware from jes, aye, aye ma'am. he grinned before heading out to the dining room.

Parker had finished putting the plates down and was getting the nice glasses out of the cupboard in the dining room when sacre came in.

how's school going so far? sacre asked as he started to put the silverware on the table.

Parker shrugged. It's ok, Sam and Lucas keep getting in trouble, which is funny enough. And all the people in my house are nice. Kristy helps Laya and I with our homework when we need it. He explained.

sacre grinned with nod, you getting into any mischief like the other boys? he asked curiously. he couldn't help but remember all the owls he would get concerning alec and river even sometimes because of things they would get up to.

Parker shrugged. Maybe a little. He said slowly.

sacre nodded, wouldn't be surprised if you were...i did when i was your age. used to drive your grandmother crazy when she would have to leave work or would get an owl about it... he grinned.

Parker grinned. Maybe you could teach me some things. He suggested slyly.

sacre shrugged with a grin, maybe i could, but i wouldn't want your mother to think i was leading you down a bad road... he said slowly.

Who says she has to know? He grinned up at Sacre.

Who says I have to know what? Jes asked as she walked into the room.

know about how...well parker is doing in all of his classes... sacre said quickly with a grin as he patted his son's shoulder lightly. he wants you to be surprised at the end of term. he explained.

Parker frowned up at his father. Jeez dad, way to ruin the surprise.

Jes looked at the pair suspiciously. Uh huh,you pair really think I was born yesterday don't you?

hun, if i thought that you were born yesterday well...that would mean a lot of things had no way of happening...like us getting married...or having parker... sacre explained lightly with a smile.

Jes narrowed her eyes at the pair of them, but smiled. I'll find out what you're up to. She told the pair.

you already do know what's going on hun. i told you. parker just wanted to surprise you with how well hes doing in school...though i guess i ruined it now... he explained with a smile as a knock sounded at the door. that's prolly cam and river. as far as they know this is just a lil family dinner. he said as his smile widened into a grin.

Parker followed Sacre to the door, wanting to get away from the stare of his mother.

sacre grinned at parker before opening the front door to show a tired yet smiling river and cam, hey kids. how'd the mission go? he asked as he stepped aside so they could come in.

it was fun. almost gave cam a heart attack about 2 dozen times. river grinned as she walked in and gave her father a hug.

Parker grinned, bouncing happily with excitement.

Cam laughed a ruffled Parkers hair. She really needs to learn to stop putting herself in dangerous positions.

yeah and cam needs to learn to stop being such a worry wart... river smirked as she winked over at her little brother. hows life shrimp? she asked parker as she shoved his head lightly to the side.
