McKensie and Lara
Mark had his shirt off and was working on hers when he heard Torch "shoot!" He quickly jumped over the couch to hide.James shook his head "I think that is great! You look very intelligent to me! I haven't really decided what I want to do in life...I like architecture!"
Damon sighed and cupped her face and kissed her deeply "does that answer it?...I love you, I never will stop..."
London shot up, flushing bright red. "uh... h-hi Dad..." She stammered, looking around the room nervously. "We were uh..."Torch grimaced. "London..."
London sighed and looked down. "Sorry Dad."
Torch watched her for a moment before nodding. Then he huffed. "Put a shirt on Mark. And come see me upstairs." He said, walking back up the stairs again.
Emily smiled, flushing a little. "Well that is definitely a first." Then she raised her eyebrows. "So you're not in University yet?" She asked. "When are you planning on going? Or are you not going to?"
Lexi felt herself melt, and then all her strength she had had to keep the past months came crashing down, and she was crying. Not crying for sadness, or pain, but just because the past little while had been too much emotional stress. "I'm sorry." She mumbled.
Mark paled noticeably and put his shirt on, Torch already hated him and now...this! He trudged up the stairs to the bedroom "yes sit?..."James smiled "I'm going to apply, I just moved here! What classes do you think I should take?"
Damon sighed "please just tell me what you want me to say and do...."
Torch thought and thought over what he should say. He knew he couldn't hold onto London forever, but he wasn't sure if he could let her go yet. "Mark. What do you think of London as?" He asked. "And answer me honestly please."Emily smiled. "You should come to my university. It's pretty nice. For architecture you'll want to take all the tech classes, and maths, and probably some engineering." she said. "You'd have to look into the schedule. Architecture isn't really my field."
Lexi hesitantly walked over and found her arms wrapping themselves around him. She shook her head. "Just... just promise no matter what I say or do, you wont let me push you away again." She whispered.
Mark took a deep breath "my love, my life...I'm sorry that you caught us that way, but I love her and I will respect her!"James smiled "I'd love to! Do you live at the dorms?"
Damon kissed her softly "if you want me....I'm not going anywhere..."
"Mmm." Torch said, nodding slowly. He had not failed to notice that both Mark and his daughter were at least ten years older all of a sudden. And though that was completely acceptable, it was hard for him to take in that his daughter was grown up. And then there was the fact that he looked at least four years younger than the man in front of him, who he was reprimanding. Being a demon could be confusing. "Treat her well." Was all he said finally, sighing. He would have to talk to Mae about this. "And I don't want to see anymore of that in my house. You want to do that, you can, but in your own house. Understand? You need to be able to support yourselves."Emily nodded. "yeah. I live on campus." She agreed. "It's been great. I have a room mostly to myself. I share a bathroom with another girl." She explained.
Lexi nodded slowly, resting her head on his shoulder. It was a relief to know that he was here for her again. She felt like she was where she belonged. But if they were going to be in a relationship again... she figured it would be better to get the secrets over with, so there was nothing in between them. "I... I was sort of in a relationship for a little while." She admitted softly. "He ended it because he figured out that I am a vamp." She whispered.
Mark nodded "yes sir...it won't happen again. We haven't decided if we want to stay this age or not...it's different. Only reason we did was too make sure James was alright at the casino."Mae came and sat by London, not being oblivious to the situation she sighed "London...you are getting into things that are very complicated..."
James nodded "that's cool, I live in an apartment with my twin sister." Little white lie wouldn't hurt...plus that was his plans right? Right.
Damon sighed and tilted her chin so that she would look at him "I...was intimate with many girls...mostly with an old flame centuries ago...it didn't mean anything though...it didn't feel the same...i wasn't happy after." He tried to explain.
Torch's eyebrows raised. "James is at a casino?" He asked softly. "And why on earth is he there?" He asked, worried about his son now as well. London sighed softly, hugging her shoulders and she looked down. "I didn't think it could be that bad, if you and Dad fell in love..." She bit her lip. "I'm sorry. I didn't think we were doing anything wrong."
Emily grinned. "Twin? Cool! I've never met a twin before." She said, smiling in enthusiasm. "I'd love to meet her. Could I visit your place some time?"
Lexi winced at his words, even though she had guessed that he probably would. It still hurt her to know that he had not been just hers. "It's alright." She said softly, trying to hide her discomfort with that news. "I understand." And she did. She forgave him, she just wished it had not happened.
Mark nodded "he wanted to get some money to help Demetri get a house for him and Taylor when we thought Damon had abandoned them!" He explained.James nodded "right now it's a mess because we are still moving in and everything but sure! That would be great, I have to warn you she's very protective and may not like you at first..."
Damon sighed and caressed her face and kissed her gently "I'm very sorry...can we go home? The kids have been a wreck and it looks like you and..." He didn't know the babies name.
Torch relaxed, smiling softly. So there was a good reason behind all of this. "Alright. Thank you Mark. I do trust you, and I'm sorry if I have come across as overbearing. I just worry about my daughter."Emily smiled. "Wonderful." She clasped her hands together. Then she laughed. "Protective? Isn't that sweet. I'm sure we'll get along." She said hopefully.
Lexi leaned into his hand and nodded slowly, her eyes opening once more. "Ashlynn." She filled in. "And yes, lets." She let her wings out once more, scooping Ashlynn into her arms.
Mark shook his head "I understand...I'd do much worse to a guy who was...mauling my daughter in my house...I won't hurt her, she is a priceless jewel to me..."Mae sighed "Demon's are very fertile...once you...it is more likely to have a child than not...are you ready for that responsibility?"
James chuckled "I've never really dated before...so she's been my only girl and she doesn't want that to change I guess...though she has a boyfriend..."
Damon flew next to her and wrapped his arm around hers so they could be connected.
Torch nodded, satisfied, and sighed softly. "Thank you. That is all." he said, dismissing him. He turned to face the window then, his mind a flurry of thoughts, like what he was going to do about this... and how he could let his daughter go."London bit her lip, thinking about that for a moment. "I haven't really thought that much about children. I'd rather be bonded to him first." She said softly. "I didn't know it would lead to a child... well I did... but I thought..." She shook her head and sighed. She hadn't really been thinking at all.
Emily nodded in understanding. "I can understand that." She agreed, taking another sip from her drink. "But if she's got a boyfriend, then she should know she's going to have to let go sometime or other..."
Lexi sighed softly, resting her head against him. All those month not being bonded to someone had been lonely. It had broken when they broke it off, and she had felt the emptiness. "I'm sorry for leaving." She finally whispered.
Mark nodded and headed back downstairs but stopped when he saw London and her mother talking so he headed to his room.Mae sighed and stroke her daughters hair "I know...it's fun and exciting but just remember that it's never casual...he needs to respect you and it needs to be a bond...alright?"
James chuckled and took another swig "that's what I said! So what do you like to do for fun?"
Damon landed and kissed her softly "I'm sorry I drove you away...and yelled..."
London nodded, hugging her mother. "Alright." She agreed, "Thank you. For the help. And advice." She said, smiling at her. "And... I better go talk to Mark..."Emily laughed. "Fun. Wow. Depends on how I'm feeling." She shrugged. "Come here most of the time. Other wise I'm studying. My friends seem to only have parties when I get homework..." She shook her head.
Lexi shook her head. "That was my fault too. I made you angry, and I apologize." She said seriously, folding her wings at her back again. "And um... Ashlynn as you know is a vamp. So as long as we keep her bottle filled I don't think there should be any issues. Just thought I'd warn you."
Mae raised a brow "clothes stay on. Kapeesh?" She warned and gave her a playful spanking "your still my little girl, age change or not!"James chuckled "yeah...I'm kind of the same, I can never just unwind and relax...worried about everything and anything!"
Damon hugged her and smiled down at Ashlynn "she's beautiful..."
London laughed, jogging towards the stairs to go talk to Mark. "Love you Mom." She called back. She knocked on Mark's door. "Hey... you in there?"Emily raised an eyebrow. "You're not in University, so tell me," she leaned her hands on her elbows. "What stresses you out? Because so far you have been the most down to earth person I have ever met." She said seriously.
Lexi smiled softly. "Yes, she is, isn't she?" She asked, kissing his cheek. "She looks more like you than me." she commented.
Dem walked out just then and his eyes widened. "Mom!" He said, running over to them. He hugged her tight, and then backed up, grinning. "I got to go tell Taylor. Be right back!" He called, dashing into the house again.
Mark answered the door and hugged her "you ok?...it's all my fault..."James blinked trying to think how to say that "I'm an athletic trainer, I work hard with my best friend...I like to fly um planes..."
Damon shook his head "no...she is definitely your daughter her spirit shines through her eyes just like yours!"
London shook her head. "Not your fault. I wanted it just as much as you did." She said, hugging him. "I'm just fine. But I guess we need to talk about this... decide where to go from here..."Emily's eyes widened. "You fly planes!?" She asked. "Sick! I wish I could fly a plane! Flying would be awesome." She said enthusiastically.
Lexi laughed softly, hugging Ashlynn close. "I suppose we can put her in the nursery now that Taylor's older?"
Mark nodded and stroke her cheek "I could get us an apartment...or we can go back to our old age...I know that just getting a taste made me addicted..."James grinned a little "I could take you...if you want!" Oh boy...now what was he going to do? He'd figure something out...
Damon nodded "the house is messy...I was going to get started..." He looked up seeing the kids "meet your baby sister!"
London nodded, leaning her head on his shoulder, just resting. "I don't know. I'm so excited to move on... to grow up. To do all of this!" She said, smiling softly. And then her smile relaxed. "But... I don't know. I feel sort of sad about leaving my parents behind. Is that normal?"Emily nodded. "That would be awesome." She agreed, smiling softly. She couldn't get over how many interests and dreams and talents he had. Here was a man who was very different from the rest of these gambling drunks. And she could feel herself falling.
Dem smiled softly. "Hi little girl." He said, smiling at Ashynn.
There was a shriek from somewhere and then a speedy ball of light sprang at the baby, laughing and giggling. "Hi baby!" Taylor said, all light and laughs.
Lexi smiled. "Well she sure is happy to have another girl in the house..."
Mark nodded "for sure! I miss my parents and they think I was kidnapped...least you can still see them!" He pecked her lips "maybe James and you can share an apartment just do we can still move slow right?"James checked his watch "crap my parents are going to kill me...I gotta go Em, but..." He took her hand and wrote his number with a marker "call me, I'd really like to hang out with you again!"
Damon blinked thinking a shooting star was shooting across his house, the china cabinets were shaking and he chuckled "calm thyself Tay!"
London nodded, sighing softly. "Yeah. You're right." She agreed. "And I am sorry about your parents. I would feel awful if that happened to me..." She shook her head. "But I'm glad you're here. And that we can be together. I think living with James might be a good idea... at least for a little while. Then we can save up for an apartment?" She asked hopefully. Emily's eyebrows raised in surprise, but she nodded rather numbly, just getting a chance to wave slowly with her drawn on hand as James ran out. "See you later!" She called after him.
Taylor held her toes and did a slow flip in the air, still giggling. "Sorry Daddy..." She said, stopping the light flow around her. She smiled at the baby and petted her head gently. "Hi. I'm your new best friend." She whispered.
Dem snorted and shook his head. "Well... I'm going to go finish supper." He said, walking back into the house.
Mark nodded "Demetri won't need the money so you can use it for your own place!" He smiled seeing James' shadow in the sky "he's home!"James landed and smiled seeing Torch "I need personal help dad...I met a girl."
Damon followed his son "hey...little green eyes monster coming out?@
London nodded. "Thats right! We can." She agreed. Then she grinned. "Alright. I better go talk to him. But first..." She kissed him gently. "please know that I love you. And I immensely enjoyed what we were doing. But for now, for both our sakes, I think we should say clothes stay on."Torch smiled. "Oh you do?" He asked. "At the casino then?"
Dem was stirring his pot of meatballs and he looked up, smiling. "I haven't seen my demon form much recently, to be honest." he said softly.
Mark nodded taking her hands "until we are bonded or I can take care of you...financially as well as emotionally." He kissed her softly "all I can see is you in my future..."James nodded "but she's nothing like I've ever met...but I said some...white lies...I don't know how to be human..."
Damon chuckled "I meant the jealousy one..."
London flushed, hugging him tight to show her thanks. "You sure have a way with words..." She teased. She pecked his cheek. "I do want to spend my days with you."Torch groaned. "Oh no." He said, shaking his head. "How bad are they? Can you get around them? And is she human then?"
Dem sighed. "Guess its just you and me now." he responded. "All the girls seem quite happy by themselves."
Mark grinned and nuzzled her "go see your loser brother...he'll need girl help!""She's human...I'm supposed to be going to the university for architecture and...fly...a plane." He bit his lip "what am I supposed to do? I really like her!"
Damon hugged him "you are their big brother they look up too! They love you so much and Ash will want to spend every moment with you!"
London nodded, walking downstairs. She heard what James was talking about. "Hey James. So you found a girl..." She said softly. Torch smiled softly and backed up, going to find Mae. He figured London could take care of this.
Dem hugged him back, sighing. "We'll see." He said, smiling a little. "I'm a whole lot older than them though Dad. I might not be living here for l=much longer..."
James looked up and smiled at London, but a quick glance he knew she was disappointed. "Yeah...I did, and I said things that aren't true to try and make myself sound human."Mae was cleaning up the kitchen and smiled when she saw him "are you ok?"
Damon shrugged "I understand that, it doesn't change how much your family loves you." He promised and drained the spaghetti noodles.
London sighed softly, walking over to him, she hugged him briefly and then looked up into his eyes, trying to determine whether or not he was happy. Because to her, that was all that mattered. "Well you certainly got yourself into a mess..." she said softly, shaking her head. Torch walked over and sighed, spiking his hair with one hand. "They're growing up too quickly Mae."
Dem nodded, smiling softly as he added sauce to the meatballs and carried them over to put on the spaghetti.
Lexi had been catching up with Taylor and Ashlynn, and smelling the food, had known it was time to come in. She carried both the girls and smiled at the two boys as she got the table set. Even though Damon and her were back together, she knew it would be a long transition before they were back to the way they had been before.
James smiled sheepishly "can you help me? Most I can easily fix...but I let out that I could fly and had to change that to planes...any magic that could make that happen?"Mae laughed "well you have one that has...desires and acted upon it and one that is completely smitten...I'd say it has more to do with love than growing up!"
Damon helped Taylor into the highchair and put a portion on her plate "try not to get this everywhere...ok?" He chuckled shaking his head at how hyper his little light was.
London shrugged. "Most human minds are easily persuaded with magic. You could just fly her around and make her think she's in a plane. It's not to hard to do mind tricks like that... but that's only if your up for adding a lie on top of that lie." She said seriously. Torch shook his head, smiling softly. "Were we ever that naive?" He asked.
Taylor giggled sheepishly trying to appear innocent before she delved into her food.
Lexi sat Ashlynn on her lap, making sure her bottle was filled before getting a bag for herself. She took a portion of the spaghetti as well, just to try it.
Dem made sure everyone else was happy and had food before he took a generous helping and satisfied his stomach.
James groaned moving his hand across his face "I've never been a liar but I obviously can't tell her the truth...why does it have to be so complicated..." He stopped remembering something "dad made you a human once right?"Mae snorted and shook her head "we were far worse..."
Damon ate not knowing what to talk about with his family, they seemed foreign to him...
London nodded slowly. "Well... he made me like one. He blocked my powers, which ended up blocking yours too... remember?" She asked. Torch grinned, walking over to her and embracing her. "I fear we passed that on to our children." He said, kissing her cheek.
Lexi noticed the silence, and her smile lessened. She knew this would take some getting used to... she was just worried for their family.
Dem ate his food quickly and excused himself to go pack. He had to return to Lucas's before the games to continue training.
Taylor ended up spilling spaghetti sauce everywhere, a good portion all over her face, but her grin never grew any smaller.
Lexi got up from the table when Ashlynn finished her bottle. "I'll be right back." She told Damon, going upstairs to put the baby down for a nap.
James sighed "that's not going to work...Loo what would you do if Mark was human?" He looked at her like she was the older one now.Mae grinned and pecked his lips "yep our best and worst qualities!"
Damon shook his head in amusement and started to clean up her face and chair "you need a bath!"
London thought about that for a moment. "Well... I'd get to know him as a friend first, then when we knew eachother well enough I would tell him about me. If he stuck around and we wanted a relationship, I would turn him." She said honestly. Torch laughed softly. "You bet." He traced his finger over her shoulder blades where her wings were hidden. "I remember when these had feathers..."
Taylor squeaked and giggled. "Bath! Bath!" She shouted.
Lexi gave Ashlynn another bottle and lay her in the crib. She went into her and Damon's room then, looking around and smiling softly. Sipping her supper quickly, she hid the bag in a drawer so no one would have to see it, and cleaned up again.
James nodded "that's a good idea, I think I'll go to the university like I said I would! It's the same time as camp but this interests me more, make sense?"Mae shivered and smiled over at him "yeah...and you soaked them with blood!"
Damon threw her over his shoulder and shot up the stairs to the bathroom and getting the water started "go put your clothes in the laundry bin!"
London nodded, rather sad that James wouldn't be at camp with them. "If its what will make you happy." She said softly, managing a smile. Torch chuckled softly. "I did. Didn't I?" His fingers traced upwards to play with her hair. "You did break my nose..."
Taylor ran out of the bathroom and came back stark naked and beaming. She lifted her arms to Damon, asking him to lift her into the bath.
Lexi closed the drawer with the bags in it and left the room again, going downstairs to clean up supper.
James checked her cheek teasingly and smiled "don't be sad honey...you have Mark to keep you busy!" He smirked "I don't want to see mini Lindon's running around!"Mae smirked "you woke me up in a tree! that more than proves you deserved it!"
Damon shook his head in amusement and dropped her in the tub "you are getting too old for bubble baths!"
London shoved him playfully. "Hey. That is none of your business mister. We are not planning on any kids." She said seriously. "not yet anyways..."Torch laughed, stepping closer so her back was against his chest. "Is that so?" He whispered, kissing the spot where her neck met her shoulder.
Taylor shook her head. "nuh uh." she disagreed, playing with the boats and toys that stuck to the sides of the tub.
James shook his head "you are too young to be...yuck! He flicked her nose and grabbed his jacket "I want to ask her on a date! How do I do that?"Mae shivered "Mmm don't..."
Damon chuckled and splashed her, he took a bucket dumping water down her hair.
London smiled. "Ah we'll see. You'll probably have kids before me." She teased. Then she shrugged. "Ask her next time. Just be like 'so, you free saturday?'" she said. "Then you be like. 'Oh awesome! So, you want to go to the movies?'" She smiled. "Ok. I'm your girlfriend. Ask me out."Torch smiled, kissing up her neck. "What?" He nipped at her ear. "Afraid you'll like it too much?" He teased.
Taylor giggled, pulling the bucket down over her head. "Spaceman!"
James blinked "what? I can't! You're my sister it's just weird..." He sighed pretending to pick up a phone "hi Emily, it's James...the guy from the casino."Mae nodded and moaned arching her back "no....dont....can't afford more kids...."
Damon shook his head and took off the bucket "you are not, but you are from space!"
London smirked. "Just trying to help you here." She said, shaking her head. She picked up her own imaginary phone and smiled. "Oh hi!" She said in a high voice.Torch laughed softly. "We can prevent that." He whispered, kissing back down her neck, his hands sliding around to rest on her stomach.
Taylor tipped her head. "Am I adopted?" She asked immediately.
James rolled his eyes "she doesn't sound like that!" He bit his lip "Emily...I was hoping to take you to a nice dinner tonight..."Mae bit her lip "we aren't alone...Torch stop you know I can't...mmm!" She arched close to him panting.
Damon laughed and shook his head "no your mom is from space...you got all of her special genes."
London laughed. "Sure she does." She shook her head. "Cut the nice, and the tonight. Sounds like you're trying too hard. Just stick with 'dinner sometime' and then ask when she's free. You want to give her some flexibility." She explained. "Ok. Ask again."Torch smiled, happy with her reactions. He scooped her into his arms flying them upstairs to their room where he shut the door. "Now we're alone." He said softly, laying her back on the bed. He let his hands run slowly down her arm, and back up again, tracing slow patterns on her.
Taylor smiled. "Cool! Like my lightbulb?" She asked, lighting herself up till she glowed brightly.
James sighed "Loo...find alright! Em would you like to go to dinner sometime?" He sighed "I don't like that! It's too casual and a little forceful!"Mae shivered and watched him closely "please be delicate I am very fragile..."
Damon shaded his eyes and laughed "just like that!"
London shrugged. "Alright. Say whatever you like." She said, laughing softly. "But good luck. Whatever you do, loosen up a bit! You're so nervous right now!" She teased. Torch kissed her gently. "Mmhm. My little china doll." he said, his hands tangling in her hair.
Taylor turned her light off and frowned softly. "So then why do Mom and baby Ash have pointy teeth and I don't?" She asked.
James grinned and then froze realizing that he didn't have her number "Loo...I can't call her! I don't have her number I gave her mine! What if she never calls?"Mae giggled and kissed him deeply, she wrapped her legs around his back and grinned "don't be loud darling...Loo might get ideas..."
Damon sighed "that's a lot more complicated..."
Torch walked downstairs to hear noises on the couch and he frowned. "What's going on?" He asked, staying where he was in the doorway.
Emily shrugged. "Ok. Um... I'm studying for my bachelors degree in the sciences..." She said, smiling softly. "Yeah I know, I don't look like I could be smart and all that... but... I guess I like learning."
Now it was Lexi's turn to shrink back, taking a couple steps away as her face scrunched up in pain. She looked down, her heart fluttering like the wings of a wounded bird. "Of course I do. I never stopped. And I'm sorry you even have to ask that." She whispered, looking up at him. "My fear of getting into this again, doesn't mean I don't want to try, nor does it mean I don't love you." She took a couple more steps back. "But don't make me the reason you have to stay. If you want to go, that's fine. I understand." There's no reason you should put up with me after everything.
